I was 16! Hah, and I thought -that- was old....but I never let anyone hide it.
Now, both by brother and I, can't wait for my nephew to to become old enough. While he plays with the basic LEGO kit I'll hog the Technic parts!
btw, for the record, it says on the box that LEGO is for 3-99! Still got decades of fun to go!
I strongly disagree that divs over tables for layout is idiocy. Making a layout neutral HTML is essential in order to get your site working with browsers, screenreaders, print, not to forget the rapidly increasing number of handheld devices accessing the web now. And with mashup services popping up and more and more tool utilizing microformats, proper semanic is more important than ever.
Yea, that's what I do for my sites. But I use my own comment parser because I've yet to find a tool that ensures the content is valid and nested properly. Additionally it silently converts B to STRONG etc to clean up the markup.
The tools I've seen so far only checks individual elements are valid or not without checking its context. If anyone know of any tool that actually validates HTML comments then please let me know.
...or you could convert it to HTML when the comment is posted. Converting it back if the user need to edit it isn't that much trubble either...

So wrong. Their applications are quite efficient actually. And running the WindowBlinds skinning engine will in most cases be more efficient that the Windows skinning engine as it takes better advantage of your videocard.
WB was somewhat sluggish in it's beginning, not helped by the limitation of the Win9x systems. But now it's very fast and slick. But a poorly made skin can still take it down. Just like a poorly designed driver can take your system down.
And I even got an email last week recommending me not to upgrade to Vista cause their modems didn't support it. Well done Tiscali! Way ahead as always. I've had Vista since it was released.
Good thing I was using my own modem/router since I got a home LAN.
I sent them an email one to ask if they had a truely unlimited broadband package. Like their Business package. Their answer was telling me I was on their high usage user list and downloads would be slower due to that.... I have no idea what that was suppose to be about, because that's exactly the reason I told them why I wanted a different package.
Aye! I can verify this.
They say the only effect will be slower download times, but I'm experiencing being actually disconnected.
Emailing support takes them at least two weeks to reply to. And always some dumbass general reply.
Ringing support... *sigh* well it's a nice little maze of press this for that and that for this. Options seem to overlap so you don't really know what to choose.
hang on...
you got GTA1 the original 2.5D version
then you got GTA London which what more of a mod of GTA1
then GTA2 came.
GTA Liberty City was number 3
GTA Vice City was number 4
GTA San Andreas was number 5
This next one should be numbered 6...oh, wait there's more, GTA Liberty Stories comes after GTA SA...
It's not that big a problem really. If the program you use don't have it allready, make a XHTML document template with all the basics and you're set to go.
Is there anything in the XHTML specs that says you can't nest tables 8 times? The validator validates your XHTML documents structure, not whether you are coding it sensible.
I am not really keen on the StarWars hype, I found the first three ones entertaining, but mesa lost interest with the first new one. However, if they made it from bad sock puppets and shoeboxes I think I'll actually see it. I think it'd be funny.
Go to your nearest library (or bookshop if you want to buy it. good reading if you like that stuff) and get a copy of "Robot Builder's Bonanza". It's a big book on how to make small robot projects on low budgets. I got it my self and it's really interesting. The projects are easy to understand and easy to manipulate to your own desires.

As of 5456: nill! Well, none from the UAC, just the "are you sure you want to delete this file" question.
I wish for GTA London 3D.

Doesn't work in the corporate world. Majority rules.
...lalala BOM! a popup window hits you! Literally.. Add a shotgun to the program as well and you'll have an instant shoot'em up hit.
Yes, and XHTML doesn't have quirksmode either, so there is one less thing to worry about.

Unless you don't have a broadband...
Is that based on Suns Project Looking Glass? I saw thay did that in one of their videos.

I've had no issues with any of them.
Ensure Norton and Windows are updated, Firefox, Thunderbird, Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D. And defrag the system.
