got modded funny and troll you lost karma.

Oh noes, an integer in a database, on a site that is bordering on the irrelevant anyway. I certainly see how accidentally losing karma could completely destroy lives here. Sheesh.

It's thus the most dangerous kind of comment to post... and my favorite.

Same here, and for some reason I've been at Karma: Excellent for years; high UID and questionable username notwithstanding. And I don't even give a shit about it. You might want to try that.

That said, I do recognize your signature and I generally like your comments. Most of them, anyway. Keep it up, and care less about karma.

Submission + - You destroy basic usability by hijacking the scrollbar

Presto Vivace writes: Facebook vs the news media

Here’s an absolute fact that all of these reporters, columnists, and media pundits need to get into their heads:
The web doesn’t suck. Your websites suck.
All of your websites suck.
You destroy basic usability by hijacking the scrollbar. You take native functionality (scrolling, selection, links, loading) that is fast and efficient and you rewrite it with ‘cutting edge’ javascript toolkits and frameworks so that it is slow and buggy and broken. You balloon your websites with megabytes of cruft. You ignore best practices. You take something that works and is complementary to your business and turn it into a liability.
The lousy performance of your websites becomes a defensive moat around Facebook.
Of course, Facebook might still win even if you all had awesome websites, but you can’t even begin to compete with it until you fix the foundation of your business.
