  1. Not true; XHTML is stricter. on XHTML 2 Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Not true; XHTML does not have optional closing tags. HTML does. XHTML 1.0 Strict is actually stricter than HTML. Only an XML parser will complain, true, but that does not mean that browsers won't silently poop themselves and render the page wrong on something they should have reported as a parsing error to start with.

  2. Re:More to it than that. on How To Get Out of Developer's Block? · · Score: 1

    Your motivation does have to come from within. Physical fitness and a healthy dose of sunlight (15 minutes around noon or so) each day will significantly improve your mood and your self-image to make it easier to find motivation.

    When it all comes down to it howerver you will only ever really do what you want to do at any given moment. Your decisions must be made consciously or else your subconscious will just default to your true desire and make up an excuse for your conscious that will help you pretend the outcome was beyond your control.

    If you're capable of self-motivation but have trouble maintaining it for long periods of time however adderall is the shit.

    I am not a doctor.

  3. Re:You could always let the user choose on Nielsen Recommends Not Masking Passwords · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Your sig should be "Don't shoulder surf my password bro!" This is a situation where compromise is not appropriate. The unix login prompt has proper behavior. The story post is correct; obscured characters are dumb. The assumption that therefore they should be shown in plain text is incorrect. Your password should not be shown at all as you are typing it or at any time in any representation.

    What you mean the faint traces of PKE from the souls of thousands of dead trees?

  5. Re:Drupal or Joomla on What Do You Do With a Personal Domain? · · Score: 0, Troll

    FUCK Joomla. Fuck that shitty piece of shit. I can't speak for Drupal, and I can't speak for the bulk of the other frameworks out there but whatever you do stay the fuck away from Joomla.

  6. Obligatory Zork I reference on What Do You Do With a Personal Domain? · · Score: 1

  9. So what? on BPA Leaches From Polycarbonate Bottles Into Humans · · Score: 0, Troll

    Nobody is drinking any of my urine anyway. Why would I care if there is BPH in it?

  10. Re:Huh? on Thai Gaming Sites Ordered Shut Down After Suicide · · Score: 1

    It's a pretty weird place. I heard their police have to wear smiley-face masks to disguise their true feelings towards criminals.

  11. Re:It's Called S.E.X on How To Help a Friend With an MMO Addiction? · · Score: 1

    I've got to agree with this post. This guy may have some issues with his life, sure if that pirates game is better to him than real life or WoW but ten to one he'd be doing anything but his homework even without the games and this is just the most compelling option. You can't blame the video game for this sort of stuff. Thats like saying guns kill people. Guns don't kill anyone. Guns just make it a lot easier if thats what you were gonna do anyway.

    Hard work may pay off eventually but procrastination always pays off right now.

  12. Terms of service on Verizon Tells Cops "Your Money Or Your Life" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm sure the terms of service clearly state that if you haven't paid your bill you can't get phone access even to save your life.

  13. Who else? ME. on Surveying the World of the Biggest Server Farms · · Score: 1

    Thats right, me. In fact I just set up #50,001. You'll never guess what I'm doing with them either.

  14. Re:Never heard of them on Square Enix Shuts Down Fan-Made Chrono Trigger Sequel · · Score: 1

    Now that I have heard of them, and know how they behave towards community projects, I'll avoid them at all costs.

    I can make do without their game. Can they make do without my money?

    Yes, probably.

    paintball is superior combat training and risks lowering the threshold for members of an angry enough but otherwise untrained populace to commit violent acts

    While I could code effectively just about anywhere as long as I have my music to listen to, its inside moving vehicles that I find my ability to focus is somehow significantly enhanced.

    Yea totally. They should have named it thefortobaccouseonlybay.org.

  23. How hard can it be to get this right? on Finnish Court Dismisses E-Voting Result · · Score: 1

    Seriously?! More broken fucking e-voting machines? Who are these idiots and why can't they make a simple kiosk work? Why are they being paid to do this and why haven't I been hired instead? What am I missing out on here? Anyone? I *KNOW* that I could make a simple web app launched in firefox and attached to a locally-running apache instance on a linux box NOT MISS A SINGLE VOTE. I could even add touch-screen activation with the proper hardware. How hard can this be to get right?

  24. Re:But does it make calls yet? on Openmoko Phone Not Dead After All · · Score: 1

    One of the more exciting things I heard about this phone was that the Debian ARM port installs and runs nicely on it, which does make it a nifty hand-held but not necessarily an actual phone.

    FYI the web page says they dropped the price to $299.
