Actually, when we (Fortune 200 web site) get requests to host ad scripts (doubleclick, google-analytics, etc.), the accompanying documentation requests that we place the scripts right after the body tag opens.
I, of course, tell them to fuck off and put them right before the body tag closes, but I'm sure lots and lots of other devs just play along.
stunned at how half the people in the big colleges in the US seem to be rich kids with daddies credit card who don't give a fuck, just want to party all the time and don't do any work and the other half are poor kids who work all the time and are terrrified they'll lose their schollarships.
The real American way is to do the former for the first 3 years and the latter for the next 3 years.
What I find discouraging with these smaller outfits (maybe I've been unlucky in my choice of companies whose APIs I've used) is the attitude that once the API is announced, there is a disconcerting tendency not to bother to communicate changes to developers who've made use of the API. I generally discover that some change has been made purely by accident a week or more after the event, when I discover that something no longer works properly.
And, of course, there's always the issue that the actual API as implemented often is just-different-enough from the published description to cause one to experience an annoying period of trial-and-error as one figures out what actually works.
I get this exact same problem within IT at a Fortune 200, so cry more.

I almost spit out my coffee when I saw those words in that proximity.
'vagina'! It's a slippery slope that leads to people eating babies.
I think you're doing it wrong.
When Facebook was just getting off the ground, I registered for an account. As Spispopd J. Spispopd ...
Got the wife some mule Farmville accounts just recently, too. Last name? O'Confusion.
Ooooooo, I've infringed Facebook's terms, noooooooo
...they're the ones with the functioning lasers!
I've got dibs on "Billy Jack."
OH NOOOOO
I HAVE INFRINGED FACEBOOK'S TERMS
They're much better about rejecting fake names than they were 2 years ago, but it's not hard to get around that, if you try.
Sorry, I have to laugh again. Ooooooo, I've infringed Facebook's terms, noooooooo.../giggle

You cut a guy's balls off and pump him full of estrogen, and he'll probably want to go shopping.
This is a courtesy notification that I am unsubscribing from your newsletter.
So the real problem here was a shitty implementation of FarmVille.
Well, I, for one, am shocked.
So, the moral of the story is DON'T use the marketplace, "jailbreak"/roll-your-own?
I can live with that.
It's a good comment, though. Try finishing your work earlier in the day, and you, too, can hang out with the first post kids ;)

I briefly considered it, but "xconomy.com" didn't seem as if it would give a good overview on the idea.
They should just stick to guns, drugs, and prostitution.
Intrigued, newsletter, etc., etc.
Indeed. The summary and title were so at odds... I had to RTFA!
...I'll be in the corner of shame.
It's the 17th Amendment and its wicked cousin, the 16th Amendment that have enabled the 'top heavy behemoth' we find in DC today.
The former removed all the policy making influence of the several states; the latter feeds the beast.
Coffee reaches its full potential at the 100th cup.
Have you actually tried to PLAY any of those "many free games"?
Protip: They're shit.
Actually, Flash allows all those little Flash games, which would cut out Apple's 40% for an AppStore game sale.
Quick!
Patent it in Germany!
Actually, change the last line to "return whatClientWantsToHear" and you've really got something!
