Thanks for the ups, I appreciate them. I will write something better and submit to wikileaks and/or the EFF. If anyone has some other suggestion I am all ears.

Looks like 2009 is going to be (open) identity year? If only the big ones started to accept third party openid to login to their services...

Know of http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/calendar/ already?

EDIT: well reading your question with more attention, you more likely need the entire YUI (grids, etc)

Yes I know, I really love their archive... I was hoping to find something as of now :-)

Duplicate of: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=466704 ... honestly I liked both the first article and this second one, but I don't get it why shimon posted it twice on HN -- so I flagged this one.

Well, it looks like I was looking at comments older than 24hrs (can downmod comments I have replied to, in the last few minutes): so I am wrong on this :-)

"Location of work is Bangalore" (last line)

Well I cannot downmod comments I have already replied to. Up/downmodding does NOT mean you agree or disagree with that comment, it means you find it useful/interesting or that it has added something/contributed to the discussion

When it happens to me it is because I have replied to that comment. I assume that it is because if you replied to a comment you DO think it is worth reading it, and it surely contributed to the discussion, therefore no sense in downmodding it

Unfortunatly they are just slides so far (but still interesting). Anyone got some URL to audio/video/liveblog/transcripts on this speak?

It's pretty much a non-news -- I think everyone is aware of this -- but backing it up with actual tests and data is great. Thanks for sharing the post

This is why I love HN. Thank you, I managed to miss that discussion :-)

Be sure not to miss "Learning from mistakes" from 37signals. http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/60-learning-from-mistakes...

I suggest you to go for the lawyer, a good and skilled lawyer who understands software licensing issues.

As the book states one cannot provide such a solution for all of them. I get your (and other people in the favour of the table argument) POV, but I simply do not agree.

I suggest people to read http://www.alistapart.com/articles/understandingprogressivee... and the other (most recent) ALA articles on the same subject from Aaron Gustafson.

I am from Bergamo, it is 200km far from Padova :-)

links does't support CSS, therefore "in all browsers" is a condition that can never be met.

May I suggest reading "Everything you know about CSS is wrong" by Rachel Andrew and Kevin Yank? It teaches to produce table-like grid layouts using CSS.

He wasn't detained.

Arrested? They aren't talking about any arrest on that article

What guided Google's decision back in '98 was to deliver the most kickass search engine ever, the sooner the better (I guess). From that point to now it's a matter of perfectioning every single aspect of their creature, to ensure a great UX (therfore fidelization).

What makes a great UX? A clean UI, a fast service and possibly no hiccups (to make it very short). The UI has changed a lot from 98 to now (check out web.archive.org) and so did their HTML code. A single line HTML page is obviously a conscious decision and so is the inline CSS.

I don't know you, so I have no idea on your experience in this field, but when you get to deal with I'm not saying huge, but decent amount of users you simply have to deal with scalability under every single aspect. If you don't, chances are you end up delivering a crappy service OR you spend WAY more money (bandwidth, cpu power, etc) than you actually need to.

EDIT: google is obviously more than html and css, and if you really want to have an idea on how they are paranoid with performances you should check out their google app engine documentation.

Want to talk about one of our politicians (Matteo Salvini) asking to make a parliament hearing because facebook closed his account? sigh

What does the design of google back in 1998 have to do with the inline CSS argument?

The entire case is really grottesque. It’s thank to that video that the idiots (sorry, I can't just find another term) got busted and proper actions have been taken to make some justice for the boy with Down syndrome.

This is only yet another way to prove that our (I am italian) justice system is such a total failure on so many side that it hurts.

That doesn't shrink the file size, but loading a single file is faster than loading one and the second. What does shrink the file size is getting rid of new lines, tabs comments and so forth. Note how a google result page is a lot of text, but actually typically 10 lines.

For the same reason jquery is offered minified and YUI offers a tool to "compress" javascript and CSS: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/

Chris Messina wrote a blog post about this as well: http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2009/01/28/what-paypals-member-in...

Sorry, didn’t see it. Upvoted yours! Feel free to rm this one: duplicate!

Yes, nice and to the point. Thanks! :)

Thank you: the first and second were in my shopping cart already (suggested by some fellow on another site), will add the ones from GK as well

I’ve got a keyboard layout kind of fetish, but I have realized there’s no perfect keyboard... there should be a keyboard layout for every specific task you need to accomplish on a computer. If you are just a writer you have very different needs from a programmer, and a SOMELANGUAGE programmer will have different needs from SOMEOTHERLANGUAGE programmer. So I still have my fetish, but I just gave up looking for my own graal
