Comment Missing The Useful CSS Features (Score 1) 325

Opera still doesn't support border-radius or box-shadow, probably the two most important properties that make web designers life's easier. Safari (or really Webkit) seems to be doing all the innovating lately when it comes to CSS3 features with Firefox and Opera battling it out for 2nd place. Either way, as a developer I still prefer to use Firefox with all its useful developer tools and addons.

Comment Console Gamers Shouldn't Complain (Score 2) 399

Being a PC gamer of many years, I wouldn't complain about PC gamers having the advantage. It seems that gaming companies are giving up on the PC as a gaming platform and releasing buggy games to us now as an afterthought. So while we may be able to get DLC, your game at least works when you put the disk in the drive.

Comment Lousy Hosting = Biggest Problem (Score 2, Interesting) 171

My personal website has been dying a slow death, not because of the fancy graphics I use on it but because I'm stuck on shared hosting with 100+ other websites (1and1). That alone can make the difference. To download 100K to 300K isn't a big deal now days.

Also, for instance try tallying up all of Facebook's JS, CS + HTML files, and you'll discover the site clocks in over 1MB. Now consider how fast the pages on the site load (super fast) See the difference how your site is hosted can make?
