By the way, I just checked out your other projects, and I have to say that the css swatches one looks pretty neat. I think I'd like to help out with that!
This confuses the hell out of me for a few reasons. First of all, any stylesheets on myspace - or any other sites for that matter - are essentially open... I've never heard of proprietary stylesheets. Second, short of an SQL injection that would comment out all of the mark-up on a given page and let you write your own from scratch, I can't see anything web-standardsy ever happening. Hell, you'll never get a page to validate for the simple fact that they use neither a !DOCTYPE nor a char-set. I suppose if you want to just hide all their ugly code you could do to your profile what I did (I z-index a layer on top of all that table crap) (and I only use myspace to redirect folks to my personal site) but then why bother having a page there in the first place, when you clearly have the skills to run your own damn site? There are just far too many problems with myspace's code to be resolved cleanly, and none of the major ones can be fixed without completely ruining all the hard work of all the greasy megadeth fans that had to find 19 pictures of skulls to spider into the layout generator... (and we wouldn't want to piss off my good pal Andy - he's real fat!) There are other, prettier, cleaner social network sites out there, if myspace isn't for you and you still feel that you need that network, try shopping around. A guerilla-style standardista attack on this site would just amount to a joke. But hey, it's late on an exceptionally drunk Friday night for me, so I may be completely full of shit. All in all, I do wish you good luck dear friend, and may the internets be with you.

Thanks, I was just about to post this link... And yes, very, very alpha. I had some real problems getting the WebKit dll to register... but after I figured that out, (found someone else who had that problem here) the only problems I have are the sneaky means required to view a page on the local machine (your very alpha web pages).

If there's a word for this phenomenon on this site, I would assume it does, in fact, happen frequently enough that someone observing it could make mention without intending to "troll".

tags (usually with {text-indent:2.5em; line-height:1.5em;} ). It's faster than typing something, clicking and hilighting (or holding shift and hitting the back arrow keys a bunch of times), looking for that funky I box, clicking that, hitting space, clicking that I again to turn off the italics, and then trying to remember what the hell I was typing before that. I grew up in the eighties, back when TV was still a good babysitter, and now I just don't have the attention span or patience for anything. Anything at all.
And I've done everything in my power to stay in Academia for the last six years, and will continue to do so for as long as cheap web design gigs will pay for tuition, rent, and smokes;) even if that means ending up with a whole lot of degrees and junk like that.

Actually, I grew up on Word. In high school, I used it for everything from English to Art. I know damn near everything Word can do, and I know that if it's not necessary, I prefer not to bother with it. If forced to use it (somebody wants a.doc) I can pull off whatever's asked of me. I just prefer, when it isn't absolutely imperative that Word is is used, to not bother with it. Stylesheets are fun and intuitive. I like them, so I use them. But like I said, It's just me, not everybody else.
Have you tried it with other languages/international characters? I was checking out their site to see just how internationalized it was, and I didn't see any cyrillic languages, just a hinting at what may be cyrillic characters under the title "European Languages". Not that I mean to nitpick - as I write most of my papers in english - but I do occasionally drop in german, russian, and hebrew words, phrases, and sentences, followed by transliteration and translation, so that I can look just that much more pretentious (and the key to success in any class has always been pretention). Usually I go about this with good ol' ISO 8859 character refs, but that takes up a little more time than it should, and if this can save me time in that, I'll definitely give it a shot.
I don't mean to come across as too obnoxious here, but as far as any word processors go, my only need for one is writing papers for school. For that, I just use notepad, and apply a basic CSS2 print layout to the file. Then I go back and make whatever minor layout adjustments I need for the paper, depending on the class. This helps me avoid dealing with all that stupid paperclip crap and whatnot that I had to put up with in Word. And I have MSOffice 03 on this box, but I never use it. There isn't a single function in Word that I (notice I said I, meaning me, not everybody else) would use that I can't already have (and have more control over) by just writing the whole thing up the same as I would a web page. I don't use a spell-checker, because I can, fro teh most prat, spel pretty good on my pwn. It doesn't take any significant amount of time longer, and there is an added convenience: If I forget to bring the printout with me (it happens a lot), most of my professors will accept a scrap of paper with a url on it, knowing I'm good for it. With that, the page is styled for both web display (in case they want to save the paper, and my current uni does employ an unusual number of ex-hippies compared to others I've attended), print, and, if any of them have bothered to try, it's also styled with an aural ss that sounds as much like me as mechanically possible (get it? a play on the idiom "as humanly possible"? a joke...), because I was bored enough to write it in. I realize that this solution probably won't fly for everyone, or even most people, but if you really want a stripped-down, quick-and-easy, useless-menu-devoid word processing experience, and you happen to be up on web standards, there isn't much you can't do with notepad.
Traditionally, judges (at least in the American legal system) are supposed to, in theory, make decisions based not on what's right or wrong, but on what's legal or illegal, according to precedents set in previous similar cases, existing laws, etc. The whole point of paying 8 million billion dollars for a team of lawyers is so that they can find and present as much evidence to convince the judge that something is legal or illegal based on those same standards. Lawyers have to know a lot of very uninteresting things, be good people-persons, and argue at least on par with (if not better than) Cicero. Tell the judge nothing. You'll only make it that much harder on your lawyer when he has to translate tech-to-law to convince a judge that you're in the right.
Until it it the snow, that thing was pretty fast... I don't think troops schleppin' up the side of a rock would be able to keep up with something like that (well, there's probably a way to regulate it's speed)... But damn that's a speedy little sucker...
Yea, since gradeschool wanderin' into the moors has been a bit of a problem I've had, but after learnin' that China and the UAE are not only not the same place, but, in fact, aren't even really all that close, I've been doin a little better at avoiding it... And one other reason the news is good for something: When you watch/read/telepathically scan the news, you can not only get angry about things you can't help, but now you can also get angry about being the only person that reads/watches/makes the news.
"If we tried to use it instead of normal oil, we'd have to cover the entire earth, actually more land, with cattle
Yes, but one of the better side-effects of such large scale cattle farming would porterhouse at about forty cents a pound (U.S.)
(by the way, I just made that price up; there wasn't any real calculation concerning real statistics and/or numbers of any sort involved. It was a joke. Porterhouse is fine cut of beef, and, as such, tends to be a little pricier. Using the logic of "More cattle = more beef = greater supply of porterhouse = lower price", I was able to pull a low number out of my ass. I hope you're all happy, I think I just killed any humor this joke may have had. But, because every time I make a joke on this site somebody feels the need to try to get deep about either the failings-of-man-as-a-whole or the-lies-that-science-is-made-from, I thought I'd try one last attempt at saving them the trouble. It's only a joke. It's only ever a joke. If you comment on a joke, it should either be a comment taking the joke further, or telling the comedian that they aren't funny. One should not respond to a joke on a forum such as this with a deep and mostly unrelated philosophic dialogue about two or three of the words used. That's bad forum ettiquete.
