Let's not get all Gandhi here. You're not liberating a people from an oppressive colonial power. You are programming. The newness of an idea does not indicate its objective "truth.…

Do you have links so I can check out some web based word processors that deliver more of a desktop class experience than Google Docs does? Especially one where the UI is done entir…

Can you give an example of how Google Documents is falling short of being desktop class with their HTML/CSS based UI?

When we identify places that HTML/CSS are falling short for making desktop quality applications, and we bring those issues to the standards community, and we make HTML/CSS better, …

I can't believe how far my template has spread. I'm just really happy to help fight against SOPA.

shit... I should have read your whole comment. Well, it was broken earlier. I guess you saw it after I fixed it. =)

A valid criticism, and I apologize, as I'm very interested in progressive enhancement. It was an omission, and I believe you will find that the page is readable in its default stat…
