Duly noted, my friend. I've been looking into this with regard to responsive grid-based design. Problem is, there are still peeps out there with lower resolution/4:3 ratio screens. It's stultifying, but it's also LCD (lowest common denominator). Yeah, I wish we could ignore them too...

1. We're absolutely not "practically one of you". That's not only a false statement, but it makes me puke in my mouth just a bit. That's just an asinine thing to even aver.

2. Xenophobe: a person who fears or hates foreigners, strange customs, etc. Yeah, that sounds about right. Sorry if you got your wordy-things wrong, but yep, that's what I meant to say.

3. See all of the above if you still have any questions as to why I'm so friggin' proud I'm not an "American" like you.

Actually, I think I'm going to use that as my Facebook photo. Good idea.

Hmm... interesting. I think I'll start pitching website design for, let's see... Iron Horse Champagne, Stella Artois... let's add some Sony displays and, er, what's a good caviar? Toss in some Ashlynn Brooke...

"No, boss! It's all for research! Really!"

The pedophiles? Yeah, I can get behind that. But castrate them before we spew them all over the inside of the microwave...

I officially want to switch employers now. Sounds like an uber cool job, man!

By who ? My tired, puckered ass, you idiot.

Instead of a long rant, one line from north of the border: "You, my friend, are a xenophobic fucking cunt."

Or you can do what I do: don't add people to your circles in Google+. Huge positive side effect: no friends = no G+ results muddying up my searches.

Sometimes it pays to be a misanthrope! :-D

Have you ever seen a fruit fly? Up close? If I was rejected by something that fugly, I'd hit the booze too!

Try and figure out how to get Explorer to recognize a Dreamweaver template file as a valid HTML document. In my case (Win7) it was a friggin' registry hack.

Y'know, Microsoft, there ARE still designers who use templates out here. For those shitty little sites that don't deserve more than a few hours work to get them live. And no... people don't use Frontpage anymore. We've moved on. Play well with others, guys. Sheesh.

How about just not posting stupid shit on your facebook page? If you're an idiot that routinely gets blasted on Tuesday nights and ends up on-stage at the local strip club in a meth-induced black-out, I'm not sure you're management material. Oh, and re-posting every single iteration of "This is what my [blank] thinks I do for a living" cartoons is another great method of showcasing your inherent superiority.

Then again, it is Darwinian, isn't it?

1. If you like it and use it, they'll change it.
2. If they change it, you'll learn to use it, but perhaps not like it.
3. If you still don't like it, you'll kludge to get it back.

Usually minor details, and 10 minutes of work to do so, if it's that important to you. I know Photoshop previews were a bitch for me when I lost them in Win 7 Explorer... so I got them back. Happy now. ;-)

So you made the connection too... thought of them as soon as I saw it!

Thankfully, didn't see any hint of organics in there... ;-)

I'd like to see more sci-fi win the big ticket, but I don't think we need, nor even want, a new category. Whether a movie is set in Cow-tip, New Hampshire or a galaxy far, far away, it's the merit of the movie itself, the characterization, cinematography, direction etc. that makes a great movie. Let the science fiction be graded on the same merits as other movies. If it's good, it'll be rewarded as such. Otherwise, perhaps the musical numbers from Mr. Lucas might be compared to "Chicago"?

Ugh. Just grossed myself out there.

Screw whether it works or not... like I NEED another fucking plug-in/language/idiotic "standard" to add to my page-builds. Let's just add even more to the design/developer's plate... especially when it sounds like it's going to be another flash-in-the-pan, oops, that didn't work out either kind of solution.

Get your heads out of your asses, you morons, and stop heaping more crap on the pile. If you're going to do it, do it right the first time, not with MORE server calls, MORE code, MORE to break, and MORE friggin' reins being tightened on our use and design.

In case you didn't get it, I've just about lost it with these so-called "standards". Fucking wankers.
