A deprecated element or attribute is one that has been outdated by newer constructs. Deprecated elements are defined in the reference manual in appropriate locations, but are clearly marked as deprecated. Deprecated elements may become obsolete in future versions of HTML.
User agents should continue to support deprecated elements for reasons of backward compatibility.
Definitions of elements and attributes clearly indicate which are deprecated.
This specification includes examples that illustrate how to avoid using deprecated elements. In most cases these depend on user agent support for style sheets. In general, authors should use style sheets to achieve stylistic and formatting effects rather than HTML presentational attributes. HTML presentational attributes have been deprecated when style sheet alternatives exist (see, for example, [CSS1]).
IE messed up the standards-compliant version which utilised fluid design [percentages instead of absolute lengths so it would scale well to any dimension].
Breaking the site for other browsers wasn't his initiative -- it was implicitly required by the new management: "fix it for IE, even if it breaks other browsers".
I remember a friend complaining that he was forced to rewrite his company's website in non-compliant MSHTML after Microsoft acquired a sizeable stake in his firm. The end result was a crappy, non-scaling site that would break browsers other than IE. Wonder if Microsoft had something to do with ESPN's downfall? [note how espn.com redirects to msn.espn.go.com].
The day IBM uses its patent portfolio against the very community that helped it regain its status quo is the day when the U.S. patent system's foundation begins to crumble.
When I first saw it, I thought it was so implausible that there was no need to worry about it. But since then I've observed much of the groundwork for this dystopia being laid.
This is exactly what the more intelligent among RMS's critics will experience.
And I have no idea why there was simply no type 3.
There was a Type III tape, namely FerriChrome. FeCr was to deliver the best of Type I [ferric oxide] and Type II [chrome], but died an early death as it didn't. They were on sale only in the early 1970s, AFAIK.
It's true -- trolling can be addictive.
Excellent reference to one of the finest moments in Slashdot history *sniff*
Most [cr|h]ackers tend to lean towards liberal values and fairness, the antethesis of Republican ideals.

More thought went into the acronym than the law itself.

In 2003, ESPN.com was redesigned to be web standards-compliant. It rendered perfectly on browsers other than IE. Now they've ditched clean code and returned to the stone age.

I find your lack of faith ... disturbing.

-1, Redundant.
That declaration would carry some weight if your foe list wasn't that long.
99 foes, many of them with decent reputations. Did you have an unhappy childhood or something?
Have you considered comedy as a rewarding career? :-)
... is the jerk-worthy quality of the lingerie section.
"Å" is pronounced like the "a" in "all". Just so you know.
That raised a few chuckles. Thanks :-)
I have a compact dick :-)

On a serious note: you do not know what a troll is. Or maybe you do
I suspected that. Silly people, wonder what they aim to accomplish by blocking PNGs ...
Hope the other tip helped.
- Your screenshot is a PNG image, not JPEG.
- If you use Windows XP, tune your ClearType settings using ClearTweak and enjoy crisper text.
Cheers,CD
