Hmm... I see a lot of this kind of sillyness from people who come into web development from other IT areas. Weirdly they then turn out to be pretty crappy at web development - over engineering everything and going for inapropriatly complex solutions at the expense of getting the basics right. And don't even think about asking them to write proper HTML: Apparently it's so simple and trivial that they're completely incapble of doing it and you end up with some kind of dogshit code that would make a microsoft app blush.

Eh? AJAX is actually quite a handy term for a well defined set of technologies that have very clear, useful applications. The term (ands the technologies) may be open to abuse but it's more of a DHTML than a Web 2.0.

I'd take Serenity over the nonsensical mysticism of BSG any day of the week. Sure the miniseries started out with some interesting SF concepts - I particularly liked the idea that Cyclons put out so much viral spam that any open network is doomed - but subsequently it;s mishandled every single one of them. It's competantly made and everything, but it's SF aspects are it's weakest.
Maybe they;ve improved it on later versions, but on the old chunky iPod I've got the wheel is actually quite a drag - as the lists got longer it got more andm more of a pain in the ass to scroll down them making that circular motion. This got particularly bad on the "artists" list after adding a few 2 or 3 disk compilations.
I imagine they might have done something about it since then, like maybe adding a "skip to end" feature or some kind of velocity, but it means I don't really use that player so much anymore.
(The MP3 player I use currently is a Zamsung in rounghly the same proportions as the shuffle, but with a display and interface. It's damn nice.)
Given that this proposal is constructed to support some kind of ban I think it's reasonable to be concerned that they'll start at a conclussion and work backwards to prove it.
Dear Sen. Clinton
Get off it you stupid bitch. No fucking Republcians are going to vote for you no mater how much of a nazi you become on soft target issues like comoputer games and rap.
Either introduce legislation targeting gays and blacks or shut the fuck up, becuase thats the only thing you could do to make them like you.

Britain and UK are synonymous at least as far as wikipedia goes. Not quite
Come on, we've SEEN mySpace pages.
That's Tom Strong.
...you're saying the most common malware is only found on the most common platform? Wow. That's quite an insight.
IIRC setting to height of anything to 100% will fail horribly in most browsers if DOCTYPE is set to Strict.
The ability to use position:fixed was not exactly what people were talking about.

"Shocking" surveys like that are usually constructed using poor methodology asnd leading questions, and so can safely be ignored.

If you're going the Microsoft route this is a pretty good site for checking out the players/services available.
