For a start, how do you know that the reason for the low usage isn't that they are broken in IE? You could be turning customers away.

A move that would, no doubt, be reported in the tabloid news as "Evil prisoners given luxury top of the range tablets"

The fact that this question is being asked illustrates that the Godaddy hate in the tech community is not as strong as some would think (hope?)

You may think that you're blowing peoples' minds with that "you're the product" line - but if you're literally selling your skills then that is the whole point - it's a positive!

I would really rather just type my name in than give any random blog I want to comment on permission to "Update your public repositories (Commits, Issues, etc)."

It was exactly this attitude in Firefox's early days that put off a lot of non technical (or "non enlightened", to use the phrase that was popular at the time) users.

I won't be holding my breath for major browsers to remove support for JS click events!

I have something currently on it's way to me via Interlink (UK). They sent me an SMS message yesterday to confirm the date, with options to reply via SMS to change it (reply 1 for tomorrow, 2 for the day after, 3 for the day after that etc). This morning I had another SMS message and an email to confirm the driver's name and a one hour window for delivery. That solves number 5.

oliciv | 14 years ago | on: The Great Lie - Lorem Ipsum
We've tried sending design mockups to clients with the copy already inserted instead of Lorem Ipsum for this exact reason. It usually tends to lead to disappointment when the browser renders their copy slightly differently to Photoshop
oliciv | 14 years ago | on: When is a URL shortener not a URL shortener?
It's not in their interest to do so, as it would leave already short links without them being able to track them

Because it's harder and not as cool as working on new stuff
