I guess "All the news" need not contain any foreign sources. Disappointing.
I always thought the abused word was "REVOLUTIONARY".

Small minds can only think of big imaginary things, especially in the marketing department.
Try any Adobe product. With your left hand on the mouse, try using copy/paste. The left-handed shortcut is CTRL+INS/SHIFT+INS. This works on virtually every windows application, EXCEPT those made by Adobe where you are forced to use the right-handed CTRL+C/CTRL+V, which is virtually impossible to do with your left hand on the mouse. As a web UI dev, this is a complete pain is the ass.
In Grade 11 (1982) we were forced to use he punch-card machines in com-sci class for the first week. The deck would be sent over to the Board of Ed office and run on their machine overnight, then your printout would be sent back to your school the next day. It was a lesson in being accurate and checking your work, which was sadly lost on the bunch of us.
Then came the day where I found this drawer where all the "holes" went. This resulted in a big confetti fight in the teacher's parking lot.
Next week we moved onto using the TRS-80 Model One, with casettes. Oh joy!

Aren't all religions fraudulent? Show me the evidence.
Someone in an apartment above my local Starbucks named their network "This coffee sucks". It certainly gave me a smile.
WYSIWYG editors are never true representations of what you're going to see in a browser (choose which one) anyway. You're far better off simply previewing in the browser and using Firebug Etc. to be your "split view".
There are some things that are useful in DW - such as table manipulation, which I found indispensable when doing online annual reports and similar work. Paste-from-Word is also useful. Aside from that, the WYSIWYG is a bit of a crutch. DW the right tool.....sometimes.
So the author of the article is somehow responsible for the site's design?
