This one?[^] I don't mind it. It's functional. Only bugs me that there's no 'c' in the domain name. And don't resize your browser down to mobile. So maybe, yeah.

I always wondered about that. thought maybe they were keeping it basic so the oldest browsers could still see the page, but I doubt anyone is going to drag out an old BBS terminal, or get an old win95 running the original IE to look at W3C pages.

I simply think they don't care.
Even the oldest of the old browsers can do things like add some padding.
They need to ask themselves: are they an organisation dedicated to innovation and improvement, or an org dedicated to 20 year old technology?

My audio went out a few days ag0...you don't realize how much you depend on sound until you don't have it.

too funny, so I have a relatively high end laptop that lost it's internal audio. It just stopped working. A couple of weeks ago, I bought new wireless noise cancelling headphones - tada - the laptop audio started working again.
Thanks MS.

Got a wireless headset, plugged them in but didn't try them, maybe I should.
Bought a sound card should be here today or tomorrow.

You do. I had the same problem.

That's a small favor to your wife. All of the other stuff, is something money can buy.
So now, when she goes "I promised you would look at..", I just smile and nod. Downside, is she is making more of those promises.

For favours for the wife I make sure I am compensated by a favour from my wife. 
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Personally, the thing that annoys me the most is when they say, "I know that's what I said I wanted, but that's not what I meant. You should have known." I'm not a freaking mind reader.
Followed closely by, "I know there have been a lot of changes to the specifications, but why is it taking you so long to finish?" What do they think I am, a freaking duck hunter? It is extremly hard to hit a moving target.

Never, ever, ask them what they want! If they insist on telling you, then ask them why they want that, and tell them what else will happen if they get it.
What irks me is when (existing customers) get something then gush "wow! I never expected it to be that good..!" Well thanks for your faith in me, guys.

I started making people meet me halfway. You want me to work on your computer? Please bring it to my house where I have everything I need to work on it. You want me to work on your alarm system? Please have all the manuals ready when I get there to expedite repairing what's wrong. You'd be surprised how far your requests go down.

I like helping people and while doing so attempt to teach them about how to fix things rather than them just passively watching. I also encourage them to ask questions.

I can't watch the video due to the hour and the fact that my man is asleep behind me.
Do they have the odd, less-than-upstanding developer that waves a dead chicken over their code?
I'm curious if I'm represented.

To whose entrails are you referring? The Marketing critters', the sales critters', or the managers'?

Ah the voodoo coder. Do you keep pins and a PC doll next to you at all times? If not try it works pretty good.

Actually, I find that waving a live chicken works better in many cases - it helps identify the chicken droppings in the code
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Just yesterday, my brother-in-law asked when I could take a look at his 4 y/o laptop as it seems really slow. 
(despite the fact that he runs a full virus check every day and defrags his hdd once a week! He also is a stickler for not having unnecessary icons on the desktop because they slow the system down. 
)
