last post from me on this thread so we can put it to rest and all agree
that i was an opinionated dick and that nothing really matters.
I don't really pay much attention to what MIGHT happen. What the web is
like in 2060 is of no consequence to me or my job. I will however put my
family's honor at stake over the validity of my argument; the web in its
current state, where browsers are slowly becoming more and more
compliant and compatible, with IE6 the only real bastard left on the
block, requires patience and respect from developers to allow it to grow
and mature properly, so that the end user can grow and mature right
along with it.
Watching MS prepare to dump another load of proprietary junk on the
market only to watch it fizz out over the next 4-5 years or so isn't
something i'm totally stoked about, and i've read specs, watched
demonstrations, i've TRIED to be excited, but all i can tell is that
it's another proprietary tech trying to cash in on a growing market.
Opinion free approaches is the worst side of leftism. In a child's
upbringing moral ambiguity is not only stupid but dangerous, and if
people don't feel strongly about things they're better off not talking
about them at all. As far as i can see, the only bickering here is me
stating my opinion, and some others facing it down on the basis that
it's close minded. I don't mean to attack other people's opinions, but i
think i have the right to state my own.
Anywho, sorry if i come off horrid. I've had a rough day/week/month so
far. nd i've used the word "web" so many times now it's starting to
sound funny to me O_o

Hi friends,
I agree with Adrian, polar extremes never solve anything, they cause
people
to take sides and bicker endlessly. I can see it happening already. An
opinion free approach would be most intelligent, there is no telling what
you will run into if you give your presuppositions a rest.
