An unjust law is still law, until you can change it. If you don't like the W3C, at least work with it until you are able to make them do what you want.
There are laws here in Canada and in the USA that people don't like. And yet people still obey them.
It's simply a comparison of W3C to any lawmaking body. You cannot say that it does not make sense, for it makes perfect sense. But I will sum it up in one sentence for you:
The W3C is the lawmaker of the web, and if you don't like it, at least accept it.
I find the best editor for HTML is always notepad, or edit.com, or even the windows port of emacs. i find frontpage too hard to work with. wysiwyg is overrated. not to be insulting or anything, im sure you and others find it great, and some poor saps in redmond depend on their lives from it, but to me, blah.
if you have to fix something after making it, then you aren't using the right tools to make it. swiss army knives are no good when you need a monkey wrench.
Without the W3C, there would be so many different ways to say "cheese" and most people would choose the worst ways. Same with laws and law-making organizations. There'd be so many ways to get a TV, and most people would steal them.
How would you like it if someone just broke into your house and took your computer? Sorry to make a political crisis of this, but that's what the W3C is all about - web politics. They make the "laws" and we have to obey, like it or not.
If you don't like it, go ahead and come up with your own way to display everything. But don't come crying when nobody accepts it.
At least it helps make sure that the HTML is clean

That's probably the most important thing about it. You look at most web sites these days, the HTML is absolutely horrible. Even I do horrible stuff in HTML, although I try my best not to.
If all browsers were such sticklers, we'd have a much faster-seeming internet, as all webmasters would have to make sure what they did was proper.
If only society worked the same way.
How would you launch an application? How would you browse a website? I see such a thing only useful for interaction with other people.
The only way we would be able to do actual work is if we are in the real world. Else, we would already be using Quake or Half-Life to write, do presentations, or anything.
Not to seem against it or anything, but it just seems all wrong.
I remember something about Pets.com suing the creator of a guy who came up with a really rude and malicious dog puppet. The Pets.com mascot came later, and yet Pets.com was suing the guy for copyright infringment.
Whoever sees something wrong with that, please raise your hands. Thank you.
The last strong Sonic game was Sonic and Knuckles. That was the last one carrying the original Sonic the Hedgehog storyline. But since then, we haven't had any good Sonic games. Sure, the newer games _look_ better, but is FF8 better than FF3? No.
If you ask me, Sega's killing of Sonic in this manner might have caused this. And Microsoft purchasing Sega won't fix the problem. That would cure the disease by killing the patient! What little is left of Sega's soul would be swallowed by the demon of Redmond.
Unless Sega can revive Sonic by bringing back the old storyline, and stops worrying about hardware, they're toast, no matter what.
Farewell, Sega. We'll never forget you.
Actually, I'm Canadian (Beaver), and I style myself as somewhat of a James Bond type archvillain (Evil). Therefore, Evil Beaver isn't that much of a joke... Or is it?
Only the HL mod stuff. And even then, I would still like to see and have such a mod.
But I've suffered much trouble from Win98. From my modem not working for two months (August and September), to constantly losing whatever I'm working on whenever Windows is in a bad mood (I guess it doesn't like Winamp that much), I am subjected to all sorts of horrors from Redmond.
Windows spells trouble. And anyone who undermines it has my undying respect.
It's the same with _any_ bank on Earth. If you can't find a trust company (they're all gone in Canada, except Canada Trust, which is about dead through mergers) or a credit union, keep your money in your mattress.
I do not use credit cards, I keep no bank accounts. Credit cards are like gambling, and banks these days are too greedy. And if the banks don't like it, they can suck on my left testicle.
Manage your own money, you'll be better off that way.
That's what I would do - but then again, I'm biased. But Winblows 98 has screwed me around enough to make me dream of fragging Billy Boy in Redmond.
Hrm... A HL mod of MSHQ, with a CD launcher, virii, and one giant Bill Gates as the final boss. The G-Man at the end pulls off his face to reveal that he's really Janet Reno... But I'm sure _that_ part would give people nightmares for the rest of their life. I'm already afraid.

No matter who's elected, the same stuff is done. A president will be elected after bashing another candidate's platform, and then turn coat and adopt it himself. And even if you don't vote, that does nothing to change it. Someone always is elected; someone always votes. Boycotting a vote may seem the best way, but, like voting for an unknown from a third party, does nothing. Democracy just doesn't work, at least not in the USA. Same old, same old.

With the way people and orginizations (including governments) come down on people who speak out against them, even though these people have every right to do so, it is unfair and thoroughly evil not to protect anonymous speech. If we have freedom of expression, then why are there libel and slander laws? People will want anonymity if they wish to defame someone, which, under freedom of expression, is their right if they feel that such defamation is justified.
Okay, you noticed something I didn't. HotMail is owned by Microsoft, yes. And yes, Microsoft is out there for money only. But what business isn't? It's just the way Yahoo does this is worse than Microsoft. I'd rather have Microsoft owning all the software on my box then have Yahoo as the only search engine on the net. And I avoid MS as much as I can. Windows 98, IE5, and Flight Simulator 98 are the MS shits on my box. And FS98 is only there for my father.
I was talking about Yahoo. Try searching for anything, and the sites with the most money come up first, if they aren't the only ones. Yahoo is crooked, but that's capitalism for you.
I was just showing that even great civilizations can still be barbaric and evil. With intellegence increases cruelty and hatred for everyone else, as you believe yourself elevated above the rest. Great civilizations had these problems, the same ones we face today. But instead of ignoring it or crushing it, these days we just do a lot of whining. Back then, they had a lot more balls, and maybe that's why they were better then we are today.
Who mentioned civility? Great civilizations embrace bias, insults, and violence. Rome wasn't based on anything moe substantial then a continous violent campaign of expansion. Over the time of the Roman Republic/Empire, I'm sure they killed more people than have died throughout this entire century. And those people suffered more painful deaths. Religion in Rome, before Constantine. Religious bias was widespread, and racism was huge in those days, too. And yet, even with all that in mind, we consider Rome one of the great civilizations. Either we have to accept violence, bias, and rasism, which we will never be rid of, or believe that there was never and that there never will be a great civilization.
I really don't give half a rat's ass. It's just that zip code sounds so wierd. It's like you are sending mail to an encrypted archive or something. BTW, wth did the term 'zip' as used in 'zip code' come from?
Okay, for starters, I know it's a generization. I just want to point out that generalizations are false (hrm... by that rule, that's false itself). Second, just because I don't show off my HotMail address here does not mean I don't have one. My HotMail address is pretty much just for IM and recieving spam. Thirdly, I don't like being insulted.

I say this because it seems you haven't really evolved from the tree apes.
Sorry, I thought that they were included with you trolls. Please accept my humble apology. Maybe there should be like a troll faq or something, so that people will be able to tell trolls apart from the real trash. Esp. since some troll posts are completely hilarious.
