"a good web developer focuses on form _and_ function. In web development space, at least, they are equally important. "
No they are not! Function is more important that what some kid developer thinks looks cool.
"things have to look as good as well as they perform. why is it that people always think it has to be one or the other."
Because so far NOTHING has looked good and performed well, they always lock font sizes to something the kids with their 50 inch screens can see, but us adults are just fucked, and that's too bad.
Nothing looks good and performs well as long as it is developed by "cool kids"
Just look at their farmers - they can't make money decently, and instead of making the honest choice: There are too many people trying to do this job - some have to find another business - they try and blackmail money from the rest of the EU.
It is in the TOS you "agreed" to when you installed Lich King (that one day a battlenet account would be required to play) - so there is presumably not much which can be done about it legally.
"Battle.net accounts are actually more convenient, a single login for all your Blizzard titles will make things easier."
For people hacking your accounts.
"As far as I know, unless your guild leader is on your battle.net friends, they won't be able to see you play Starcraft 2."
And if you don't put him on he'll kick you from the guild.
"If you get banned from World of Warcraft, it will NOT ban your from other games, including other WoW accounts on your battle.net account."
Which is a lie, they already do that on the forums.
"Don't bot, cheat, scam people, stay stupid shit in/2 and you won't get banned."
False. They can and have banned you if they don't like what you say - it doesn't matter what you actually say. You can even get a ban for stupid stuff like posting to a thread which "is too old"
"You can add multiple World of Warcraft accounts to a single Battle.net account."
And you can make more battlenet accounts to keep it separated and keep hacking risks down.

"If all other countries forbid you to immigrate, you're forbidden to emigrate."
False.
If you are unable to immigration doesn't mean someone is preventing you from emigrating. Back to school.
"If WHTI is in force, you're forbidden to emigrate."
Other countries know who are in it - now the US is trying to catch up.
Unless you are a criminal there is no problem, and if you are - nobody wants you.
"Even if the taxes were raised to 100%? You're still not a slave? "
Go live in the jungle then.
"If it were a right, then you would have a right to these people (the contractors) work, that's called slavery."
Its a pity education isn't a right in your country.
Don't be a moron. Its a right. That doesn't mean slavery. It means someone has to do it - or be replaced by someone else who'll follow the law.
"If you do not like those web applications developed by "modern hipster web devs", just don't use them and let people who like them use."
Bla bla - that is not possible, often these things stand in the way of services we want/need to use - so we are forced to suffer the shit
(And stop calling people who disagree with for trolls)

"That doesn't mean there's no desktop application alternatives and that you couldn't use them"
FOR NOW - they will end, since as you said, most people are stupid sheep who don't know jack ... oh wait, that's what you should have said.
Oh well.
You are so right. Even if the self same web 'masters' are moderating you down.
Don't be silly.
Who doesn't want an agile girlfriend!
Copyright is theft.
So you can take your proxy and go home.
Well forget it then.
It is for a lot of people (regardless what thin snide detractors say) - and if you force them to exercise more they'll "compensate" by eating more.
After all the only way to "win" the "war" on drugs - is to start punishing those who DO drugs - not the ones selling it.
"very short timeline"
meaning it only stayed in the air for 30 seconds ;)

(And you do mean *I*)
And why should we care?

They shouldn't allow the disable options to be disabled.
"I think it's less to do with creating a good image of Toyota and more to do with getting people thinking about Toyota. "
It's working! I'm thinking: 'Toyota, what a bunch of assholes!'
Making a choice is NOT relevant. It's what you eat, not why you eat it that defines 'vegetarian'

Except that's a lie - which I know first hand.
