Unless your link is going to another frameset. Which is exactly how some new HTML framework for frames that don't act like frames would work:)

How so? If *all* your links in the framed pages are to _top, then the Back button will work as expected, no? How would some new frame-that-isn't-a-frame tag structure work any differently that framed pages where every link is _top?
Maybe I'm missing something, so please explain - I'm curious.
Because it's possible to devise an experiment that could provide scientific evidence in its favor.... Such an experiment does not -- even in theory -- exist for [Intelligent Design].
Oh, so this is a requirement now?;)
OK, so what's the design for an experiment showing a single cell evolving into all life on Earth?

Um, we have that... it's called "frames". You use "_top" in your links;)

You're a little late to start asking that now.
How is it the business of Congress to tell us how to label food?
How is it the business of Congress to tell us how we can advertise 30 days before an election (or *any* freakin time before an election - political speech is precisely what was supposed to be free!!)?
I could keep going, but I would need thousands of lines...

Weirdly, they even think this way offline.
For example, apparently (judging by the shocked, offended looks on their faces), only men within a couple years of their own age were supposed to look at those vast expanses of exposed flesh on college age girls... I guess they thought you turn in your eyes when you reach 25.
Everything is super-cheap, and stacked to the ceiling. You either bring your own bags, or buy some from them, or use their leftover boxes.
No *way* are they going to be wasting space on something like this. And the advertisers wouldn't want our eyeballs (those of us who shop there) anyway.
>.- Experienced Web-Developer, PHP, MySQL, >salary: $6.50/hour (Costco pays workers >$17/hour, Wendy's pays $8.50/hour).
The good paying web development jobs don't list a salary (usually). They just say "DOE" or "market", if they say anything. It's up to you to negotiate a good rate. So, yeah, the ones that list a rate are poor.
I've done *way way way* better than anything that you have listed here, pay-wise. Jobs found through Monster and Dice. And I don't have a degree, or any certs.
Also, maybe it's just where I live, but I've never seen a craigslist job posting that wasn't absurd.
Search tip - set up indeed.com search feeds on bloglines ("{skill} in {some town near enough to me}"). Awesome.
It's because managers want to define the exact skillset... '20 years Java version 1.4.1.13 service pack 2, and preferably 17 years Visual Studio 2005'
Have you tried just actually applying for these?
I've had good success by just figuring out if I'm right for the actual position, then more or less *ignoring* the stated requirements and applying anyway.
Degree? Oh well, apply anyway. VB apps? Yeah, I could just *never* figure out how to use VB with *different* objects (I do have ASP.NET/VB experience). Apply anyway.
For the job I start next week, I was initially told that the manager wanted me but his team didn't like that I had so much tech writing experience. I could have gone off in a huff, but instead I just patiently explained why this was value added, particularly if they were serious about good communication skills, ability to meet with clients, etc. It worked.
Now, do these wacky job ads drive some people away? I'm sure they do. So if you don't let them drive *you* away, that's a plus:)
I suspect a whole lot more of you slashdotters lean for more libertarian than you realize. That has been the case frequently over conversations I've had with a number of liberal friends, once they actually started listening to my arguments instead of blindly reacting against the conservative bogeyman.
Yep. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry back when/. thought that *Gore* was the way to freedom and less regulated technology... we'd all have freakin' V-chips in our video cards by now.

That has nothing to do with the "best and brightest", educated aspect, though.

Nor wiser. Nor more humane.
I'm sorry - mod me into the ground, but this question is just childish.
Hey, I'm impressed (assuming that it's accurate). I guess I just have a higher paranoia threshhold.
I'm from EU. I don't understand how this identity theft works. [...]
I could post my email address, real name, phone #,bank account # and national id # here, why should i be worried if i do?
So, just out of curiousity, why don't you go ahead and do it?
