And the award for most fuddled technology goes to...



Web browsers. I've never been fond of Web technologies. I love the Internet, but all this web crap just makes me want to puke. Today's aggravation: CSS. Or maybe the whole DHTML thing. Or maybe the makers of the browsers that make following standards impossible. I mean, look at CSS. Good idea, but how is this really useful when half the properties can't be inherited, and some tags (i.e. forms) don't seem to inherit anything!? Why do people want to move things online anyway? Sure, update things a little, move away from ye-olde-telnete, but why choose the Web technologies? I just don't get it. There are much better ways you can offload apps than cramming it into Horrendous Text Markup Language. Rant over.
