Comment This is great news! (Score 0, Troll) 173

The internet runs on advertising (youtube, google, gmail, twitter, facebook, etc...) and 3rd cookies are a HUGE part of tracking profitability for all online advertisers.

If you're buying ad's and cannot track your ROI your SCREWED. Thus companies can't pay for their servers, programmers it snowballs the entire web.

You want a free & open internet? Remove you ad blocker & help pay for the services you use for free.

Concerned about your privacy with ads? Wait till everyone starts "pay-walling" their websites (eg WSJ, NYT etc) and you have to shell out cash AND give up your credit card.

Yesterday I saw a piece of code a former employee wrote. The variable was declared as $starttheriot I dont' think anyone can imagine how out of control domain specific markup would get if this was allowed. i already spend WAAAAY to much time just getting things working for just IE.

Comment love microsoft, hating IE (Score 1) 373

Any developer / web designer will tell you that Internet Explorer is the bane of their design existence. I've seen whole projects stale for days because of bugs / "features" in IE. Fragmentation is never good though. For example, now with gradient backgrounds you have to have declarations for Webkit, Mozilla, IE & even Opera. It's absolutely insanely wasteful of developer time, client bandwidth & contributes nothing but headaches imo.

Comment Uncovering what? They used their real names (Score 2) 423

I disagree with this website & they didn't "uncover" anything these people used their real names. While I'm against racism personally, people need to understand that tolerance works both ways. You can't on one hand say people should respect your views & then on the other not at least respect theirs.
