  1. WTF! on No More Version Numbers For HTML · · Score: 1

    What the fuck kind of crack is this guy smoking?

    If the standard is "living", that makes it a moving target... and that means there will be practices that go away. When practice go away we call it deprecation. How the hell will a browser ever intrinsically know what is a "best practice" and what is "deprecated". For the love of God, we have hoardes and hoardes of peoples in "committees" that can't even make those decisions.

    HTML version is what's been saving the whole intrawebs from blowing apart at the seems. !DOCTYPE is your browser's savior.

    Good fucking luck with this one, buddy!

  2. KISS on How Do You Store Your Personal Photos? · · Score: 1

    As much as I like geeking out... I tend to view my home solutions as needing to be utilitarian and cheap. I simply have a WD 1TB external HDD and use it in conjunction with the $10/mo. cloud back-up created by Elephant Drive. It's one of the few cloud products that allows external HDD back-up. This allows me to dump all the photos on the WD HDD and FORGET about it. Elephant Drive does an excellent job and allows you to create jobs. All this keeps the photos off whatever machine I'm using and I don't worry about theft, fire or flood because it's riding around in the sky somewhere under Zues' Thundering Asshole. I don't have to worry about RAIDed internal HDDs (doesn't solve physical damage), setting up a VPN and rsync (not always reliable from) to some remote machine at work... and I don't have to sit around all weekend long trying to support whatever solution I've come up with. PS. I'm not paid to endorse Elephant Drive. They just kick the shit out of Carbonite and for that I love them.

  3. No carrot on Are 10-11 Hour Programming Days Feasible? · · Score: 1

    The only way you can keep that kind of focus for any duration is if you have something at stake. Basically, what the owner is saying is: "I want you to work like an owner in this business with none of the upside". It sounds like your boss in an unreasonable, greedy asshole. Negotiate equity or get out.

  4. Re:Missing menu bar? on Mozilla To Release Firefox 4 Next Month · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think your desire is in the minority. Most people don't want to play around under the hood of their browser. Most people could care less. Most people want to see more facebook, foursquare, linkedin, twitter (ad naseum).... and that's exactly what they are getting with these new revs. Welcome to Web 2.0... 3.0... eh... whatever...

    http://www.dailywritingtips.com/what-does-sic-mean/

    “What does [sic] mean?” Sic in square brackets is an editing term used with quotations or excerpts. It means “that’s really how it appears in the original.” It is used to point out a grammatical error, misspelling, misstatement of fact, or, as above, the unconventional spelling of a name.

    I'm not going to lie... I had to go look up what [sic] meant because it was used so many times above:

  6. Re:The weak link on Pentagon Credit Union Database Compromised · · Score: 1

    As always, people not following proper procedures.

    Is it really people not following procedures? Or is it lack of procedures for people that don't follow procedure?
