You're too cynical. Scientists did not set out to find global warming, in fact once upon a time there was a worry about global cooling! Fact is that some data was found and they had to find out why they had got what they had. That isn't too hard to believe, is it?
I have many fond memories of 2 play Atomic BOmberman on the PC with my friend. One person on each half of the keyboard. Excellent fun. He'd usually win but hey it made those winning times worth treasuring more...
It is highly unlikely the poster you are replying to was saying you should close all elements, even those who do not require a closing element, as that is madness.
What they were probably suggesting is that elements that can be closed *should* be closed, which is entirely sensible. It makes HTML far easier to parse for a human, assuming you have reasonably sensible code layout.
But not putting in closing paragraph tags just invites sloppy coding. Always close your tags. Makes it far easier to read, for both yourself and others who may have to read the code, and means you can jump to XHTML without any hassle. Which you can do now without too much worry.
That is truly horrendous. Sometimes the only thing to do with code using trans.gif or trans_pixel.gif or whatever you call it is to refactor the site entirely.
Refactor mercilessly and go implement something proper. Don't introduce yet another awful spacing technique as this only adds to your woe.
The squid who couldn't see in low light died out. And the ones who could prospered. This bit of common sense is obvious to many people, but not to everyone. Including luddite creationist zealots.
I use CGI::Appliation at work, I program with it a great deal and I am starting to use osCommerce having looked at, and not bothered with, Handel. osCommerce is crap. The code is awful. There is a low cost to get started but...you end up with an amateur piece of rubbish. I am seriously tempted to take time out of work and write something based on Handel (which I liked) which will take more out of my life but will leave me feeling alot less stressed about having to edit spaghetti code.
No I'm no programming guru. I just know awful awful code when I see it. osCommerce is it.
Elite for the BBC pushed it a long long way. Split screen with mode 1 at the top and mode 5 (or was it 2?) at the bottom, an impressive sight. I heard a rumour that they even used up bits of keyboard buffer memory for space. Is this teue?

Still good fun!
How the heck can other people gaming somehow steal this hobby from you?
Just don't play the boring games. That's simple to do, isn't it?
That may be the next April Fool...watch this space.
There was a dupe one where the same story was repeated with only 2 stories between.....
I'm off to Hendon to tell them they're all really clever. Wish me luck!
Excellent. As we can see here, it is unbelievably poor support.
Thanks for posting the link though, it is very helpful.
And those idiots who get themselves locked up for selling fruit and veg in old units.
Truly they are martyrs to a noble cause....
Exactly how big are these grants you speak of? Surely they just go towards science? Scientists get employed regardless.

How did you manage to break a cartridge...?
You're not meant to play football with them.
Do you consider it a strength that you are too lazy to code to standards and work around flaws in the most popular browser?

PHP is backward - Template Toolkit is the way to go.
Wrong. em is for emphasising text and i is for italicising text. You do not have to always italicise text in orde to emphasise it.
:)
The two are different. Promise.
What a lot of hot air.

Er because MSIE users don't do this! They go "Oh this website doesn't work - they obviously don't care about me" and go elsewhere.
Please show us the statistics to suggest this is not true and I'll gladly stop using conditional comments.
Right now my own relatively small sample of clients suggests that 100% of people want compatibility with IE, even with its quirks.

Did you mean implicit instead of illicit? I think that makes more sense. :)
Nope, shame on the contestants for being so stupid.
They should have paid more attention in school.
