Whos gonna do it if not Slasdotters?
Competent people?
And your qualification or citation to make that claim is?

You've got balls, I'll give you that.
They're trying to catch up to Blackberry?
They're masters of the one-handed interface.
my undergraduate student loan debt is 4 times my annual income.
How did you manage that? Did you spend 6-years at Princeton studying basket weaving only to find work in a Malaysian sweatshop?
Also, I will no longer test the software I develop with their browser. In this way, I will contribute to making Firefox deliver a substandard user experience to those who do choose to support them.
How consistent are you?
Do you use Google Chrome? Google openly supports gay marriage, so you must not test your code in their browser either, right? So does Microsoft, so IE is right out.
Ah, you must be a Safari user! Oh, wait. Apple also openly supports gay marriage. I guess that can't be it.
So... with what browser DO you test your software? Are you the last HotJava user? That would be pretty wild.

You should move to Somalia. It's a libertarian paradise where all of the things you're wishing for are true.

(More seriously: Doesn't the author understand science? That's not how it works.)
Sorry, we don't want facts here. The Slashdot MRA crowd will not, under any circumstances, accept facts, reason, or logic. Their simple-minded and grossly incompetent notion of equality shall not be challenged!
This. Deaf "culture" is significantly responsible for many of the problems facing the deaf community, such as the outrageously high unemployment rate, and abysmally low literacy rate, and unimaginably poor deaf schools.
Deaf "culture" can't die soon enough.
my point was: even with perfect hearing (regardless how you want to define it) it is not guaranteed that a violinist can manage to distinguish a superb violine from a normal one.
Again, no one was suggesting that it was sufficient. However, it's difficult to argue that it wouldn't be an asset!
This meme isn't dead yet?
Give it up, man. If you can't, at least come up with an actual reason for hanging on to it.
I think the idea is to use vector images for the zillions of things that aren't photographs. It's a very good idea.
