to be a bit awkward, i'm not american =P and although i do agree with your points, i was of course refering to markup, which is written in american.
unless i've ben mistaken all this time, html was all about something anybody can use... but of course you'd have to speak english, or at least the american version of it. so hadn't we already decided on a standard?
far from my intention to whine, but i shall have a cookie anyways =)
so how am i, on my gb keyboard suppose to conveniently type in all sorts of foreign characters? if there is going to be some traditional ASCII alternative url.. then just what are we doing?
i am all for versatility, but there is always talk about unification, this would just segregate the web into 'things i can type' and 'things i can't'
and considering that html is in american, and that most people take into account that english is a very common language when designing a page, are we not just creating some novelty, which after a while will annoy all but a few?
of course, dns is only a convenience anyway, we could solve all this and all start memorising ip addresses, especially when IPv6 should soon be in play. XD
so i could go buy a car, and get put away for 'risk of injury to a minor' or to anybody for that factor, who knows who is going to step out on to the road, or even if something is going to go wrong.
i definitely blame the support engineer (damn techies, giving techies like me a bad name) just like if i was lied to when my car had apparently past it's mot, but hadn't, and malfunctioned.
that computer should not have been allowed on the network, the suort should have been there, as should the protection.
just for the record, i don't drive (can't) perhaps it was a bad choice of analogy. for anybody who's seem monkey dust, driving a car = murder
however i do like norwich, i think there might suddenly be a job opening or two.. woo!
perhaps the need to escape/is/ something needed in the real world?
i personally feel a greater level of escape when i play with other people (MMO's or even just typical multiplayer). i think it makes it a more convincing experience =/
since when does putting a link in an article make anybody click it, i'm as mmb happy as the next guy, but i get the jist of the site from the article, surely just mentioning the name of it is enough to make anybody who would click it to just type it in.
i bet half you guys who mentioned the link being in the article didn't even click it.
if someone slapped those offers on my desk (not that they would, that'd be mad) i'd go for google, mostly based on what i have heard here (on slashdot through he last few months).
without question.
i generally am of the opinion that community can for anywhere, maybe it's not what anybody would cal a/real/ relationship because you'd not normally meet somebody i the flesh. however i would hazard a guess that a lot of us have some form of contact list, which mixes people we know (in the real world, i you like) and people we have met in the varying online communities that are kicking about. conversations aren't usually very different between them.
give people a place to go (especially some form of character development) and i think they'd have a hard time/not/ communicating, it seems to be what we all just do, no matter what.

it's about time someone start opening up the job market for magicians. just because magic is legacy technology doesn't mean it's useless =P
