Unsurprisingly, ubercool job ad is for a site that uses table layouts riddled with inline CSS.

Article is predicated on the idea that evil and innovation are mutually exclusive. I think it's more true that evil and innovation are pretty tightly coupled.

I love embedded servers. I don't think adding SSL would be that hard. I've done something very similar in C# and kept putting off SSL, only to find that X.509 authentication was tr…
