Probably a good benchmark. If you are at an event where scantily clad men aren't appropriate, then don't have scantily clad women there either.

Without an actual counter-argument you realize that it's more likely that your post will be modded "troll", right?

Another factor is the amount of people, especially around the Tenderloin, who cross the street without apparent regard for anything. Obviously I've no hard statistics on this, but people who've driven in San Francisco know what I'm talking about.

Please don't add native PDF support. Feeping creaturitis is never the answer.

No, no, no. Apple ported Multifinder!

I blame Microsoft. Microsoft did come out with a PowerPC version of Windows and then stopped supporting it.

I know you can't embed fonts in HTML, that's why it gives you the option of choosing different fonts. If you can't make a layout work with standard fonts you're not much of a designer. And, um, why would you publish data in an HTML5 video?

HTML is a great middle ground. By following XHTML rules and combining it with CSS, you have a very parse-able document and can typeset it virtually any way you want. I've loved the PDF format since it was PostScript, since it can literally do anything involving typesetting or vectors, but trying to get data out of it sucks. It'd be great if adobe could somehow embed text data or XML into it, but I don't see that happening.

I wonder if SVG might work well.

Hm. Depends on the girl. My girlfriend complains that I don't go to strip clubs and buy her lapdances.

I can't speak so much about the Seattle area, but I've definitely seen it with execs in the Southern U.S. and in the San Francisco Bay Area, though not so much in geek circles. A former roommate and a relative of mine would go all the time as part of their corporate jobs; hell, they were even told to use some of their company-alloted budget to do it. Even at a small (20 employees) company my bosses would go and sometimes take clients during lunch or at the end of a day.
