Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's a new technology called "static HTML page"... I hear MS FrontPage can export this newfangled format.

At my uni there were a large number of profs with websites that, if you viewed the source, showed that they'd been creating in MS Word. This was a CS department. Slightly depressing.

Yes, because if you design a new alloy for improved performance of an f1 engine cilinder, you need to do your own oil changes too, right?

True. However this is more akin to having your dietician change your oil.

That page loaded ridiculously fast. Maybe flat HTML is the way to go.

yeah, reminds me of this other website: http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ should we be hard-coding our styles into html and stop making stylesheets though? seems like a balance is needed

That's awesome - what framework did they use?

This is almost as wonderful as Subway's old website. I think that one had something like five HTML tags and a few BODY tags sprinkled randomly throughout.

I'd like to have a word with the person who decided that "something" should show up in a browser regardless of how broken the markup is.

I think unfortunately that Jon Postel died a few year ago.

Writing a HTML parser to handle everything that's out there on the web is almost as hard as writing a C compiler that tries to produce the "most accurate" executable code based on what it looks like you probably meant.
