pissed off

Hi Folk

I was just wondering if any of you are pissed off with the enormous amount
of garbage out there on the net:

<body leftmargin="0" right.....>
</font><font blah blah></p><p></font><p></p> etc.....

while all that could have been
<p id="x">...</p>

I am not actually angry about people making a mess, but what annoys me is
that their page can "look" just as tidy as html strict with superbly
formatted stylesheets, etc...

How do you convince your clients they need to clean up their mess "behind
the scenes"? and can we blame frontpage + dreamweaver for this mess?

Keen to hear your comments

>From technical point of view, I could not understand the the reasoning behind using Java in major companies. Sure that Python, is used in some, but still Java is considered as a sure-job language. After being a python programmer for long time, I consider it painful to learn/use Java now (well, like many I will be forced to do that in my job). What makes such companies to choose Java over dynamic, productive languages like Python? ...

Hi I'm developing a program and the client is worried about future reuse of the code. Say 5, 10, 15 years down the road. This will be a major factor in selecting the development language. Any comments on past experience, research articles, comments on the matter would be much appreciated. I suspect something like C would be the best based on comments I received from the VB news group. Thanks for the help in advance James Cameron

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
