All of my design/development applications run (well) on XP. Once Adobe starts releasing software that doesn't run on XP, and need some magical properties only found in Vista, and I actually need to upgrade to those new versions (because I'm getting files that I can't open), then I suppose then I'll have to "upgrade". But I don't see that happening for at least another 3-4 years. And who knows, maybe at that point it'll be to Ubuntu.
What kind of person not only jokes about bombing a country, but jokes about killing its civilians too? is that the kind of person you want as commander in chief? is war a joke to you, too?
yeah. I was about to write, if they had their act together they'd have a centralized system status URL (like any professional hosting company does), but this seems to pretty much do that. However, it took until today for me to find that, and I spent over an hour on Monday trying to find updates or even any word of an outage, with no luck. That URL should be front and center on gmail's error page, and in general needs to be publicized a lot more.
he's asking the internet to act like a quarterly - some things simply date quickly and lose informational/contextual value, that doesn't make them not worth doing. we're consuming vast amounts of crappy information. this is preferable to small amounts of good information.
"It is very widely consider wrong to steal stuff, kill people, invade people's privacy by looking through all their documents and photos without permission, etc."
And yet, our government does this all day, every day.
how anyone can develop for the web without immediate access to IE6 for constant debugging/testing is beyond me. IE6 is the dominant browser. an XP OEM license on eBay is $90 bucks, well worth the cost if your situation is as bad as you make it sound.
"windows that you can only resize from the right corner" - damn right, and it's exactly like that one-button mouse - flying directly in the face of usability for a little fashion. like wearing a fur coat in 90 degree weather!
from a long-time, mostly-happy 1.5 user: they messed with the GUI too much, and only 1 of 5 vital extensions I use is compatible. so I'm left with less functionality, and no new functionality that makes the upgrade worthwhile.
1. having "So-And-So writes" and then a line break (or more specifically, forcing a normally inline <i> tag to display:block) looks weird and breaks the readability of the article intro, it makes the layout look more choppy, in places it wastes a whole line, AND it ruins the semantic value of the <i> tag (instead of say using <blockquote>). article intros are much easier to read as they are currently - this is a major step backwards.
2. secondary articles look too close to the footers of the main articles. the way it looks on the existing site (smaller, with the darker mid-value background) is much more effective at differentiating between the two types of articles, and makes it easier for the user to alternately disregard or focus on either.
One method is to have whitelisted mail, and bounce others with a message
that's a terrific way to overload your queue (and your server's resources): sending bounced messages back to non-existant addresses (i.e., sd93kv02ji@foo.com).

frameworks that require almost as much learning curve as it would to build a custom solution from scratch
Getting really good with Drupal = 1-2 months
Building a single site from scratch with the same scope of functionality = 4-5 months

100% width? italicized blockquotes? white-on-green text? I've never thought of anything as genuinely "user-abusive" before, but this is getting there.

you have a $5,000 dollar insta-claim
The code says "actual damages" plus "additional damages... but not exceeding $1,000".
