You must have been on different internet tubes from me. For me "Web 1.0" was riddled with badly written copy/paste JavaScript, IE only sites, punchable monkeys, doubleclick cookies, dancing hamster gifs and pop-ups that you couldn't block.
How can the vast progress we've made not make you optimistic?
Chapter 1. Money is a medium of exchange, a unit of account and store of value...
...and now imagine the economy as a circular graph. To force production of one commodity above it's actual demand (spike in the circle) is completely unstable. If you want to increase production then the entire circle must expand. Right now the circle is contracting, and the lame attempts to prop up only bits of it will be crushed, and could even accelerate shrinkage.
How convenient. The future of search requires giving up libraries of congress worth of personal info, to advertising companies with a sideline in search.
"That in some fields of his country there are certain shining stones of several colours, whereof the Yahoos are violently fond: and when part of these stones is fixed in the earth, as it sometimes happens, they will dig with their claws for whole days to get them out; then carry them away, and hide them by heaps in their kennels; but still looking round with great caution, for fear their comrades should find out their treasure." My master said, "he could never discover the reason of this unnatural appetite, or how these stones could be of any use to a Yahoo; but now he believed it might proceed from the same principle of avarice which I had ascribed to mankind. That he had once, by way of experiment, privately removed a heap of these stones from the place where one of his Yahoos had buried it; whereupon the sordid animal, missing his treasure, by his loud lamenting brought the whole herd to the place, there miserably howled, then fell to biting and tearing the rest, began to pine away, would neither eat, nor sleep, nor work, till he ordered a servant privately to convey the stones into the same hole, and hide them as before; which, when his Yahoo had found, he presently recovered his spirits and good humour, but took good care to remove them to a better hiding place, and has ever since been a very serviceable brute."
Not going to happen. The social networking sites are financially fuelled by people's private info. They won't discourage people from giving up as much as possible.
We all have secrets, but it can only be a good thing when people screw up their careers/lives because they gave too much away on facebook. In a Darwinian sense I mean.

Script should be used to check POST submissions, before they are rechecked sever side. Saves so many round trips.
Of course, if we had Forms 2.0 and the ability to add a regex to form inputs, this tedious task could be done by the browser saving a whole bunch of script.

It's funny how you never seem to hear the follow-up story titled "X's lawsuit thrown out because it's utter nonsense".
When did unsuccessfully suing people become a marketing tool?
Clearly the editors were all replaced by small perl scripts at the beginning of '08. Possibly earlier.

Ok, let's start at the beginning.
Chapter 1.
Money is a medium of exchange, a unit of account and store of value...
That's also a description of some people's real lives you insensitive clod.
Eek, I just had a mental picture of a free encyclopaedia supported by product placement.
An automobile or motor car, for example the Peugeot 207 from 8,995 on the road, is a wheeled motor vehicle for transporting passengers...

Is the red heading an accessibility feature,
