You tell them something about their actual work not being done properly and the first thing they reply is, "Do you have a problme with me being black/homosexual/whatever? Are you a racist and should I take you to court over it?" - something along these lines.
Also, how often does a white non-minority person face a problem of not getting a job cause of the company having quotas to employ x blacks/hispanics/homosexuals/whatever other minority and even though this non-minority candidate is better in the terms of his professional qualities the company cannot employ him cause of the quotas they have to fill in? Who's discriminated in this case?
Looks like there's too much buzz going on about different minorities rights. If you sum up all those minorities they will probably constitute more than the so-called "majority", the poor people who just happen not to fall under any of those "minority" categories. As a result, those minority rights are very often used by the members of such "minorities" to get the benefits they wouldn't have otherwise got. Tell a black/homosexual/whatever other minority member his performance is poor, only referring to his professional level, and very often they'd use their "minority" rights as a cover up. (Please don't get me wrong, I am not accusing every "minority" person of abusing the laws protecting their rights but it's a fact that these things happen a lot)
Heck, I'm starting a group for white heterosexual rights protection! I do realize saying things like this can get me lynched on here but this is what I think and it's my right to voice it.
Re:previewing, when I have to dig through all that automatically generated messy code with lots of nested tables that Dreamweaver preview does help to figure out fast what goes where and how to eliminate those unnecessary nested tables:-) - that's one big advantage Dreamweaver preview has over just viewing the page in the browser.
Anyway, I do love my Dreamweaver and hope it survives through this ordeal with minimal loss. If not - well, I'll just have to use the good old Dreamweaver 4 till it can't run on some new platform anymore (I never moved to Dreamweaver MX - it has too much stuff I don't need).
What I like about Dreamweaver is that it lets me handcode my HTML and CSS without messing up my code like the dreadful Microsoft's Frontpage would, and still gives me an option to see the results of what I'm doing, and that preview is pretty close to what the end result really is.
Letting Photoshop generate the code for the sliced page design produces even scarier results than Frontpage. It's a nightmare every time i have to dig into somebody else's code that was generated that way - the dumbest possible approach to creating tables, too many spacer images without real need for them, etc. Adobe shouldnt' be let even close to automated code generation - they've got bad coding style.
If this purchase screws up my Dreamweaver I'm gonna be very pissed off.
That's what I meant, and I believe every survey like that should also have data on how many users turn off the image display/Javascript and thus can't be tracked.
Not accurate. This doesn't take gay males and/or transvestites into consideration... as well as females who have more brains than it takes to just wear shoes.
1x1 gif is totally unreliable as long as the users can turn the images display in their browsers - which can be done in any browser, anytime. JavaScript can also be disabled. Hence, both ways of tracking visitors are not 100% accurate.

Let's hope that while fixing the old problems no new problems have been created... We all know how it can be...

Hmm... are there any stats available as to what % of Microsoft's employees are gay?

I am almost 100% sure there's a law or two against what they're doing...
