Nonsensor.


12-07 What happens to those of us who have larger buttocks?

Just some links. I've been stockpiling them for a while, time to clean house.
  • Malaysian Women Warned of 'Sexy' Attire. Not sure what I think about that. I guess I really hadn't thought of Malaysia as being a Muslim country, shows you what I know. An interesting story of culture clash... conservative Muslims and tight-pants-wearing, navel-baring Chinese women face off.
  • White Hat: Is Ajax inherently insecure? Uh, no. Bad software is bad software... lack of security is lack of security. Thankfully, this made it to Slashdot, where tons of programmers are currently hitting F5 and saying "this ajax crap will never last."
  • 61-year-old woman sells pot to pay for bingo habit. I hope my mom reads this. She's into dominoes, which I'm pretty sure is a gateway game.
  • NYC cracks down on mystery meat. There's a fine line between protecting the public and being culturally sensitive. Apparently, selling frogs without an invoice crosses that line.
  • A Web 2.0 tour for the Enterprise. Or for your grandma. Anyone who's out of touch, really. Not sure what "the enterprise" would want to do with Rails (repeat after Gavin: it'll never scale)... and you definitely don't want to put company plans into ta-da lists.
  • And finally... Zeldman is a friend of Brian's and one of the most well-known names in web design and development. He also introduced a bunch of people to the notion that a practical mind, reasonable HTML code, and a bit of compromise are more important than having your design look exactly right across every single browser. So why is he demonstrating an old-media mindset by questioning the viability of our only true cross-platform browser just because he doesn't like the way it renders type on one OS? And more importantly, considering his influence, who's coming with him? Looks like about 150 people in the comments alone. Safari seems like an incomplete program to me, and frankly after years of looking at Windows 95-2000 type, the hyphenation of Firefox is the least of my worries. How about being able to style form controls?
