And it's also not surprising that ad services might lag two, three or four years behind where these web technology companies are.

more like 10 years behind. Asking an Ad Vendor to provide me and my fellow developers with valid xhtml code got the response: "We only have iframe and javascript as our current available ad tags."

Brilliant people, these Ad Vendors.

you mean we have to use valid xhtml to get our posts to display correctly? How inconsiderate.

I don't consider a browser to run HTML5 until it utilizes all tags, not just the ones that are carried over from HTML4

hence the "on their computers".

if 50% of college students are mac users, then 50% of them don't care about playing games on their computers.

I agree whole-heartedly. Flash is a resource hog. jQuery FTW!

css line-height property. Seriously, slashdotters are exulting table-based layouts? There is nothing, repeat nothing that you can't do with css and tableless layouts*. *using a standards-compliant browser. Fuck you IE6!

didn't Johnny Lee already do this?

too much Zalgo. ÒÌÌzÌYÌÌ-Ì--ÌÌ(TM)ÒÌÌzÌYÌÌ-Ì--ÌÌ(TM)ÒÌÌzÌYÌÌ-Ì--ÌÌ(TM)ÒÌÌzÌYÌÌ-Ì--ÌÌ(TM)ÒÌÌzÌYÌÌ-Ì--ÌÌ(TM)ÒÌÌzÌYÌÌ-Ì--ÌÌ(TM)ÒÌÌzÌYÌÌ-Ì--ÌÌ(TM) ---HÒÌÌzÌYÌÌ-Ì--ÌÌ(TM)... :(

considering most of these are reporting other site's prank articles, it probably will be a day full of prank articles.

posting on the internet can NEVER be considered a waste of time.

at least, not until she meets her brother, John Henry

yes, but TNN (The Nashville Network) made the move away from - um how do i put this without being condescending - country-western-centric programming way before the name change. Also, the name change came with a programming change as well, correct? They became the "network for men" or something silly like that, till it failed, and they stopped promoting themselves as that. Sci-Fi is not abandoning the science fiction programming, correct?

Well, i would say from google or yahoo's perspective, 7.2% is negligible. Otherwise, wouldn't they support it for the apps you were referring to? I mean, we aren't talking about windows vs linux here, the differences between browser AJAX support and standards compliance aren't large enough that it can't be done without a separate development team.

The difference in compatibility between FF and IE (especially 6.0) is staggering, but they choose those browsers to support, and this decision is made with market share in mind, not standards compliance.

And i took the GPs point to be that the differences are minute, not non-existent.
