Frankly, I'm surprised the attitude of many people seems to be: "I'm going to work at an established company for X years to get experience, then break off to start my own."

Then they write blog posts and postmortems about how they lost their friends and spouses, became horribly unhealthy and severely depressed. But it was worth it in the end, of course.

Right, and whose responsibility is it to make sure that children grow up knowing using their mobile phone at the dining table is wrong?

The majority of people I know who are into aggressively and efficiently managing their time are definitively 'non-techies'.

But everything in this UI kit is clickable. Design and clickability of elements is down to the designer.

"a whole language for handling events across the representation of layout"

While I agree block-linking seems like an odd way to implement the desired functionality, the idea that javascript (did you mean javascript?) is a more suitable alternative is dubious.

The concept of requiring an entire engine to enable linking from HTML elements just seems dirty, when it could be achieved so much more simply with a universal href tag. For starters, how would one define link targets?

Re:Ang Lee and the uncertainty of success on Thursday February 28, 2013 @10:15AM (#5298969)
Sorry to burst your bubble, but she's hardly a celebrity in Britain anymore. Like most of the winners on these "talent shows", she has been milked of all profitability and is now forgotten by the wayside.

Of course, all she had to put up with was a total nervous breakdown.
