    For instance, doing navigation with a pipe (vertical bar) or some other character sounds strange to them.
    Which is why I use unordered lists for lists of links. Using CSS, you can just do this:
    #someId li { display: inline; }
    #someId::after { content: ' | '; }
    And if XHTML 2.0 ever gains traction, making navigational lists is as easy as:
    <nl>
    <li href='/some/link/'>Description of link</li>
    </nl>

    If you're using Konqueror, check the lower-right corner. If you see some sort of Sherlock Holmes detective hat, you have user agent spoofing on. Disable (or change) it via Tools -> Change Browser Identification. Some sites support Safari but disregard the fact that Safari is based on Konqueror when it comes to the renderring engine part (KHTML and KJS), so user agent spoofing is required for sites like that *coughgooglecough*.

    You almost had me there. Since VP is P of the Senate, the next in the line of succession (sp?) is Hastert (R, IL), the Speaker of the House. Then it'd be Stevens. We don't really need to worry about Stevens, m'kay?

    Think of it this way: Stevens is so hopelessly corrupt that if he were to become president, the people of Alaska might wake up when he gets impeached and convicted of corruption. Besides, if tube-man is busy being president, he's not in the Senate talking about tubes anymore.

    You think 300 million people voted in 2004's election? More like 122 million, and that's if you count all the dead people and other illicit votes that were counted. Don't forget the Diebold election machines that gave Bush the votes of many otherwise non-Bush voters.

    Don't forget that the real pirates have access to the DVD pressing machinery used to create the real DVDs. In some cases, the people who press them for retail are the same people who press them to pirate as well.

    I thought the increasing amount of amateur porn was pr0n 2.0, and that started before Web 2.0. Porn; ahead of the game as always.

    I know! I could create a Porn 2.0 website called fuckhr! Or fuckr. You post your own home-made amateur porn movies, and you tag them with tags like "hardcore", "bj", "cumshot", and "anal"! Then anyone could just search for specific tags and find some good (hopefully) amateur porn to fit their specific fetishes.

    Y'know, this almost seems like a good idea...

    That's a certain form of copy protection that fakes corrupted data. You need to copy it exactly without any error correction to get the proper version. Or, you could just download the cracked version after you buy it and enter in your own serial if necessary.

    Ctrl-L (or Cmd-L, or just C-L for short) goes to the location/address bar in pretty much any browser. C-K goes to the search bar usually, but not always (Safari doesn't do this IIRC). C-W closes a window (or tab) across all browsers. F5 refreshes the page in all browsers.

    You should learn these sorts of shortcuts to save yourself the trouble of using the mouse or learning new shortcuts all the time.

    It's the only consensus so far for a large CSS test case since the W3C hasn't provided any along with the CSS specifications. If you pass Acid2, you support and comply to a large majority of the CSS standard.

    Or how about this way?
    # ($db instanceof PDO)
    $query = $db->prepare('select foo from bar where baz = ? and biz = ?');
    $query->execute(array('some value', "another ' or 1 --"));
    You can even use the placeholders like ":baz" and ":biz" instead of the question marks so that you can make it less confusing (or streamline it with forms via $_GET/$_POST, although you'd have to prepend all the GP keys with a colon first). PDO makes it that much easier, and that's not even a high-level DBI.
    $query = $db->prepare('select foo from bar where baz = :baz and biz = :biz');
    $query->execute($_GET);
