thatcher didn't fuck anything up any years into power, she brought britain back from the brink of years of socialist idiocy.
I agree with the other guy who said you seriously suck at reading comprehension but I'd go further to say that probably you just "suck" and reading was collateral damage.
I'm a web developer too, give this man a cigar, a whiskey, membership of the club, whatever it takes, I couldn't have said it better myself.
web development is a no mans land of grief, crap solutions and hacks, the only web pages that don't need hacks, are boring web pages like that loonatic Jakob Nielsen's website (which I refuse to put the url, in case he sees it as a good thing people like it).
usability consultant my ass....
I hope you got out of your car, pointed at him, laughing like crazy, called him a stupid fucking retard, got back in your car and drove off, leaving his bleeding at the side of the road.
thats how it was done in the olden days, idiots deserve to be humiliated:)
actually, I think it comes from the mentality of a organ of the body which shares a sexual purpose, breasts are not actually a sexual organs, but are sexually charged so get lumped together, they are used in the process of feeding children from an ACT of sexual means, but they are not actually anything to do with the act of sex apart from that weak connection
so it's about the americans having little tolerance for sexuality.
if the FCC had to patrol the european markets, they'd have a heart attack
yeah, I agree with this, the idea that a guy with no experience can't pick up ANY work is rubbish, there is always someone out there willing to give you 100 euros or pounds to fix something in their website.
each client you do, puts you another client to show off, you need to build your own website to show off your talents and above all, make yourself look important.
your impression to clients has to be that you can get the job done, not that your a whiney slashdot freak with no experience. Even if it's not true, console yourself with the money you earn and drown your moral sorrows with beer you can now afford without asking your parents.
I know it sounds hard, but it's not, TRUST is the key, I need to TRUST you that you will do the job, when you do it, be thankful and keep in touch with that client, perhaps they are interested to work more together.
Facebook fan pages are also good for putting the news about the work that you do, you can't sit around waiting for work to come to you, so whilst you are not on project, keep busy, think of something you need to help improve your performance, say you keep writing email code, refactor it all into an object which does it all the same and reuse that object, sounds ridiculous but you wouldn't believe the amount of duplicated email code I see, from the SAME PROGRAMMER.
once you've put your name on twago, rentacoder, loquo, whatever is best for your region, be proactive, quote what you think it'll take for some jobs you see and just keep doing it, you have to be persistent, as well as confident.
You will fuck up the first couple of jobs perhaps, or at least, not do very well, or perhaps it's super easy and you'll be amazing, but don't let failure kill you, shrug, your inexperienced, the world won't end because you messed up a client requirement and had to spend a week fixing it.
So I completely agree, it's all about just putting yourself out there and being confident and trustworthy.
when I tried to run that software it was slow as hell, buggy and I always lost data. but it looks better than openoffice at least.
someone must have hired a designer.
why not just use it and live with the consequences, if you're site needs this, then obviously it needs it and you'll have to live without people using IE.
why does everyone think that because it's not supported in IE, you can't do it.
fuck IE, if they don't want to play ball, then screw them and do what you want anyway, if my site requires firefox to view it, then you open it in firefox, if it requires safari v3.0+ then it requires safari.
if you want to see what i've done, reopen in the browser required and see what I've done.
if you're not interested, then ok, no problem, the site can't help you, bye bye, have a nice day.
no biggie, no problems, no fuss, just, that..
from what I heard and many posters above have repeated is that adobe merely packaged up the flash VM and bytecode into an iphone binary, which is completely different than "that includes ZERO bits of Flash" isn't it?
why are you even taking notice of what they say, there are some laws that can't be taken away, even by passing a dozen of these bills through the houses of law around the world, just ignore them, post anonymous political commentry, make sure you don't keep logs and use 7 proxies.
then when it comes to polling day, throw them out in favour of the others, I've been thinking about this and some people say that it's not enough to throw the others out and get the new gang in, because the new is as bad as the old, but there is a big difference in the way that we should do it. instead of throwing them out for "unknown" number of possible reasons, tell them, explicitly, you were thrown out, because of enacting laws that we didnt like, we changed you like a pair of socks.
new government, be warned, you're next if you fall out of line, yeah sure, the new guys are as bad as the old guys, but self preservation might actually make them listen, you're going to get thrown out, if you don't do what we say, we don't care who replaces you, as long as you're replaced.
your message will get across someday, but in the meantime, do what you want, ignore what you want, post what you want, feel what you want
sorry to spoil your party, but isnt the whole point of accelerating javascript higher and higher in performance terms, along with native video codecs and search optimisation all part of the worlds effort to reduce our dependance on flash?
so it sounds like apple isnt on it's own, youtube itself will see flash usage drop visibly, then you'll only have those full page flash websites to deal with and they are only written in flash because SVG isnt good enough/supported enough yet.
what happens then?
(disclaimer: it'll be 10 years before microsoft supports SVG, either that, or nobody will care because nobody weill use IE in those days)
if you think it's wrong, you shouldn't have built the software with the mistakes in it in the first place, to me, this sounds like, please dont do it, I'll get fired.
you got fired because you wrote crap code, learn and improve.

it's called feature bloat, because you load it into memory and then use it zero times dummy.
if you didnt load it up, it wouldnt be called bloat, it's only called bloat, because people see their memory usage for a single web page running into hundreds of MB's

thanks a lot mate, you ruined that joke, nice one, I'm very happy you commented, you really brought a lot to the conversation.

perhaps he just did it for the lulz? then figured tomorrow all the work of getting a new employee and then said "naaaa!!! only joking!!"

you mean a modern gui toolkit like GTK+ perhaps?
I suppose thats why you're on slashdot reading about it?
carried away maybe, but it's so true, so very, very true.
bingo, this is how professionals do it, charge extra for the extra work, or don't and handle what happens afterwards.
