On The Durability Of Usability Guidelines
Ant writes "Useit.com's Durability of Usability Guidelines article says about 90% of usability guidelines from 1986 are still valid. However, several guidelines are less important because they relate to design elements that are rarely used today... The 944 guidelines related to military command and control systems built in the 1970s and early 1980s; most used mainframe technology. You might think that these old findings would be completely irrelevant to today's user interface designers. If so, you'd be wrong."

if you design a webpage that looks good at only one resolution or higher, then you are a poser wannabe loser.
yes, if you design a webpage that is a fixed width then you do not know what you are doing.
Lots of people making websites on the net think they know but have no clue and that is exactly what you are running into.
A loser poser wannabe that built a website. In reality this person has no clue to HTML let alone web design.
and this is very typical of the "schools" they generate point and drool idiots not real HTML jockeys.
you HAVE to do your pages by hand, otherwise you can not get the percentages right but rely on the fixed pixel settings the WSYWYG editor assumes.
and that builds crap webpages.
"HTML jockeys"? "HTML jockeys"? "HTML *fucking* jockeys"? Slow down there cowboy... wouldn't want you to hurt yourself!
As a world citizen I like suicide bombers more than nuclear missiles. They rarely tend to leave radiation when they explode and don't kill thousands of people.
