The nonsense the media says
Markup and styling are inseparable in web technologies, so they ought interact appropriately
The pace of technical developement is ferocious, and the diffilculty in keeping up is especially troubling for computer Operating Systems.
Prescriptionists who insist 'man' is gender neutral as talking bollocks, not English
Is it economic competiton that drives quality down?
Bloody Ldap nonsense!
What sort of ignorant coward advises others not to go to Gallipoli because it scares them?
I just checked out Firefox 3.5's geolocation feature, expecting it to maybe get my city and it pinpointed my home address.
It's quite easy to compel standards compliance
A long time ago I took Economics 101 at university and dropped it as a load of bollocks.
Websites that rely on flash should be added to a black list so we can all go about blissfully ignorant of their existence
Pricks tugging on a knee jerk rope of patriotism annoy me again
Doesn't patronising parochialism get your goat?
Every computer language has flaws.
I chose Ruby over Python
I'm thinking people who bang the Law and Order drum do it to drown out the voice of dissent and liberty.

Android has a bit of a problem in it's variety of hardware.
I've just been watching a program about the future of media consumption, and it made the same old mistake about TV/Computer convergence that people always make.

If we get bad laws because we don't actively keep politicians honest then to get good laws we must monitor politicians. But monitoring isn't enough.
If I put time aside from my life (all that bothersome work, family, study, entertainment, arts and relaxation that gets in the road of politics) and manage to observe a politico in the process of pushing a bad law it won't matter, not unless I protest. And one person protesting achieves little, I need to organise others to raise their voices with mine.
In short I need to be a politician to protect myself from politicians, and only us politicians will have rights if only those who participate deserve them. So I don't think only people who participate in the process deserve rights and I do think people have a right to react and protest after they've been betrayed and caught by some idiot law.
