Its becoming a pretty common practice to charge extra for IE6 support. If you hate IE that much its always an option to charge for the full gamut, but don't act surprised when the phone stops ringing as much ;)

On a serious note, IE has always been a challenge for front end dev, but its at least up front about its lack of support. Chrome, FF and Safari will sometimes have a minor margin bug that will drive me more insane then the expected behavior of IE.

In the 20 years I've lived by a nuclear power plant, nothing has gone wrong. The coal plant two counties over has had two major explosions, resulting in dozens of deaths, hundreds of injuries, and an exorbitant amount of property damage. So if we're going off of anecdotal evidence here, I'll take nuclear power. The closer the better.

I'd imagine this pattern would depend on locality. For example, I live in CT and went to school in RI. I chose to live at home to save taking out additional loans for room and board, but I wasn't really separated from campus life, or even college towns for that matter (My parents lived by an art school and a state college).

However, were I do to the same in an area with fewer educational institutions per sq. mile, I may not have had that experience.

Roberta Williams designed my childhood. Now I need to go find a way to play Quest for Glory on OSX...

I started with QBASIC in middle school, but then picked up HTML once my family got our lightning fast 56k modem, and thus a web nerd was born :] I dabbled in Visual Basic and C++ in high school, but ultimately decided to pursue web programming (XHTML,CSS, LAMP).

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan, but Planned Parenthood won't help impoverished nations with high birth rates. The church allowing condom usage however...

There's always the option of finding a nicely sized hardcover blank sheet notebook, which is what immediately came to mind when I saw this (though the book used in the article does look gorgeous.)

First of all, I don't have the requisite karma to down vote you. Try not to take it personally.

Second, have you considered the demographics are affected by pervasive sexism in several world cultures? Not to go on a tirade, but walk through a toy store some time and tell me why you think there aren't more female programmers and scientists. The point is, culture- NOT gender, is to account for the disparity between men and women in the field. While numbers may be numbers, its still a backhanded compliment.

Like I stated in my above comment, I realize it may not be the intent of your statement, I am just sharing with you how it may be construed amongst the fairer sex when we "dare" to cross these imaginary gender lines drawn in the sand.

I understand it's refreshing and promising to see women in programming roles, but (and I say this realizing it may or may not be the intent of such statements) it's a bit condescending when someone comments along the lines of "and she's a woman too!" like its a surprise.

Well, I do feel much more saucy when I speak Spanish ;D

I tend to become much nicer when I switch over to Spanish, mostly because I usually speak it in customer service situations. Spanish is my language to help people. That and I always love the look I get when the pasty Russian girl starts sounding like a Columbian.

I was adopted at 3 months old, and I have many friends who were also adopted in their infancy.

I remember my friends mother recounting a story in which she was feeding my infant compadre in a shopping center, and a woman came up out of nowhere and pretty much berated her for not breast feeding. It is such a war between these women, and its ridiculous, since most mothers who don't really and honestly can't.

And quite frankly, as part of an army of formula fed humanoids, I'd like to think we all turned out just fine.
