Yeah, I'm pretty annoyed with it myself.

Oh, by the way everyone, I just lost the game.

They're actually leading you to useful places.

Try putting in something else. If it works, then it's a problem with the disc, in which case you would visit the link smulse gave you.

If it doesn't work, it's a problem with your disc drive. I'd suggest instead of trying to fix it yourself, go to Geek Squad or something.

Let's say you have a car. It's not working properly. You take it to a mechanic and say, "This car isn't working how it's supposed to. Here it is." The mechanic will ask you what is not working about the car.

Get it?

Sometime I'll head out to some areas near my house and take some pictures. There's alot of amazing places like that out here.

That's why I love living in Colorado. Just 10 minutes drive, and I'm at a mountain I can climb.

Again...I've never had any troubles with Honest Networks.

Have to put in my host.

HAY THNX GUYS!!!

Hey, today is one of the Programming Reg's birthday.

Unfortunately, iTunes won't do anything with unassociated filetypes. It's hard to use unpopular audio files like that since some of the big media players don't read them correctly.

I'd say there's nothing to help that...not to my knowledge anyway. I'd never even heard of ogg.

Hey Taylor, sorry to see nobody's taking this thread seriously. I respect you, and I thank you for all the help you gave me with ADM. The switch with axishost stopped all development on the site, unfortunately. I couldn't log into my account, I couldn't contact support without logging into an account, I couldn't have access to my domain name, and the payments that were supposed to be manual ended up being taken out automatically.

I hate that. It's one of the biggest ripoffs on GoDaddy for you to buy the "First Bid" or whatever they call it. Basically, GoDaddy will try to buy it for you right when it expires. But there's absolutely no guarantee, and it costs a ton of money.

I don't.

Kinda getting close with the KHTV.info's and whatnot, I'd think.

Actually, in this specific case, this guy is the pure definition of a troll. I have no doubt in my mind that he knows what HTML is, and he's just posting to get attention. Just look at his post history.

All I usually need is time...but it never seems to be around :(

My apparatus usually includes...
1.) Good music. Generally a mix of classic/modern rock songs.
2.) IM. Gotta love procrastination by talking to friends.
3.) Laptop. I've tried coding at a desk, and it just doesn't work for me. I've got to move if I want to.

Um...seriously?

Reminded me of when Mcartney preformed at the Super Bowl.

Some of the stuff on the Britain version is pretty cool, but this guy is amazing.

Since you said you have a subdomain, I'm thinking you may not have one of those folders.

I totally agree with you there. That kind of stuff really makes me mad. For me, it's illegal immigrants that do that kind of stuff.

I thought you meant it in a different way. Luff you.

Hm. That wasn't racist at all.

No. That's too easy.

I've been told to try Baileys in a white mocha.

I just try to look at it from a non-developer standpoint. Simply...does it work. I don't care about whatever the "W3C" is, I don't want a weird image on my site saying it's valid, I don't want someone trying to explain to me all the ins and outs of "valid markup". I want it to work.

Vodka is good.

Especially when mixed with tequila, rum, gin, triple sec, sweet and sour, and coca cola. Anyone? Anyone?

See, on that point, I'd strongly disagree. If someone goes shopping on portfolios, some will have "Valid HTML" some won't. Just because they see it on one, doesn't neccesarily mean they'll look for it on the others. You have to understand that if someone's shopping for a web designer...they most likely have no idea what the hell they're doing or looking for. They want someone else to take care of it.

we see it as every new browser is released they are closer to conforming, in a few years all browsers my be 90%+ conformity, if that happens your site will break in all browser if its not up to standard. Its an insurance to minimise the amount of redesigns needed.

I'd love to see that. If all browsers started conforming more, it would be great. I write valid code myself, and I hate it when I have to use a tage that "isn't supported", such as embed...which doesn't have a feasible alternative. However, I've been hearing that kind of statistic for a few years now...Firefox 2 and IE7 were supposed to be the closest we've gotten, but I haven't noticed much change at all, except a few things from IE6-IE7.

I also hope everyone realizes that this is just a friendly debate to me...I don't mean to come off as an arrogant jackass or anything.

You can try defending your views, but it doesn't change the fact that someone who's looking to hire a programmer won't check if the code is valid markup. That's what matters. I used to think it mattered, too.

Even if your code does follow web standards, it won't display properly in all browsers. Sorry.

have you considered blind-people or people with slow connections (ie, the images take forever to load)? you just lost a visitor.

Sorry, I don't understand why slow connections would use screen readers.

if you can't be half-assed to validate your code, then that shows you're a lazy, and incompetent programmer. who would want to hire you?

No, it does not. You can be a very meticulous programmer that took the time to find out exactly what code it took to place the objects where he needed. Then come to find out, oh, it doesn't validate.

Then he comes to find out...it doesn't matter.
