  1. OT: Re:Is it the price of bandwidth? on Adcritic Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    this is something my clients (and, however unfortunately) my fellow developers have failed to grasp of late. yes, there is demand for a lot of information, and yes, it should look pretty, but that doesn't mean using seventeen tables for your page layout. you've tapped into a vein here that is worth exploring, because the message is so similar to the web standards project's hiatus claim: the problem no longer lies with the browsers (or in this case, the bandwidth and access providers) but the developers who cling to out-of-date methods to create sites.

    this is the next step in thinning the herd, i guess, and improving by virtue of smallest and fastest becomes biggest and best.

    imho.

  2. Re:You have mistaken the concept (OT) (New thread) on Go Extreme, Programmatically Speaking · · Score: 1

    You have mistaken the purpose. Sure, a lot of folk post for humor's sake, in the hopes that they will get modded up to 3:Funny; however, a purpose of this very rating (any number, the Funny, Interesting, Insightful, etc... are what I'm talking about) is one rarely discussed anywhere. Latin is dead. Ancient Greek, Egyptian heiroglyphics, et. al are dead. English is a living language. It is our responsibility as English speakers (I want to be sure to include those with my native tongue as one of their alternatives) to advance the language. This is why new dictionaries come out, new encyclopedia are published, new phrases are coined, and new jokes are written! Don't chastise a person for their pedanticism. It only encourages others to be more specific in what they mean to say and how they say it. I would like to ask you to hit your 'eject' button now, but you're not flying a fighter jet. ecd.

  3. Re:South Park Reviews on South Park The Movie · · Score: 1

    Well, he's just so darn tan. Of course, the reviewer must have missed his naked member- pale as a Sierra Nevada brew. They probably also consider all homosexuals to be of a different "race," so they're not guilty by association. I sense massive repressed homosexual tendencies coming from those reviews. Own up, gentlemen! We know you like boys!

    Just a thought.
