The internal fight to work with tables or css for eg 3 column layouts?
by aki 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

I'm kind of having a dilema on this subject. Both tables and CSS give me similar results, though CSS is sometimes all over the place affecting the formatiing when working with non-html elements or elements that involve code not html related. I've googled the debate and there are no straight answers while there are major discussions on browser compatibility. CSS and sytlesheets is pretty straight forward, gives cleaner code but browser issues are a problem. Tables reduce the production time quite easily and also good for data displays. Not sure if many on the list have worked with the asp.net master page concepts but its similar to the old days of frames. So while I had some time this week to get started with my project, I'm now finding myself embroiled in the table/css debate which has no direct answer. For the developes out there who work on code that's not html friendly, how is this issue affecting you? Is the Div tag really worth the headaches? Cheers. :-)

Wikileaks or wikitricks?
by Collins Areba 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

I am inclined to conclude that this whole wikileaks maneno is american PR machinery at work, either to avert attention from something wikileaks might have unearthed earlier by watering down the whole thing or to divert attention from critical diplomatic matters, say like USA's diminishing influence in africa and the emerging giant of the east. Some things dont add up... 1: The leaks are obviously edited, by who? why are some names crossed out? it feels like the "leaks" were dished out to elicit a certain reaction. 2: Why are they being dished out in intervals? giving time for political analysts to ponder and "clean" before releasing? 3: Does anyone here know how leaks are released to the masses? YEs, one HUUUUGE torrent with tons of GB, or self extracting multipart archives with all the juicy stuff intact not this maneno ya cyphers... why take time to create a leaks website where everyone browsing through can easily be busted and traced?
