    tbh my ajax degrading is inserting a tag on to the bottom of the document, I don't use the XML part of Ajax, I usually send script back to the browser and eval it :>

    You went to a lot of effort for a site I have nothing to do with. All those points are valid and usually the first ones I use to critique a website.

    All my sites w3 validate, have unfixed font sizes that allow any font size, my javascript degrades even my ajax sites when a user has javascript but not xmlhttp objects.

    Making assumptions about your visitors' browsers is poor practice.

    The isos have been around for a long time. They are just stubs, you have to download the tgz package files separately.

    OpenBSD installs quicker than the other OSes I've installed this past few years (FreeBSD, Windows, Various Linux distros, Plan9 from Bell Labs)

    When the parts removed are the Font size and the colours then yes, it really is a good marker of quality. It means the designer has ignored the needs of those with visual imparements for whom small fonts and use of colour make browsing diffucult/impossible.

    Colour blindness / dyslexia / old age are just 3 not insignificant groups of people for whom that would be an issue.

    But hey, we can just ignore that right ?

    pfft, NoScript is the best thing since sliced disks
    two clicks and all is well

    It is amazing how many sites don't test against no Javscript, very unprofessional.

    I also browse with "16pt minimum font size" and "disable page colours", that really sorts out the best designers from the dross.
