Seriously, for any chart type, there are cases of misuse, even if the over-glorified Edward Tufte says no.

alphadogg··on Kendo UI - a framework for modern HTML UI
Needs a lot more baking.

Next steps: 1. Ban the adults who drink too much. 2. Ban people who talk loudly in cell phones. 3. Ban teenagers who are partying with friends. 4. Ban the that woman over there. She's laughing a little loudly for my sensitive ears. 5. Oh, and could you please ban that other guy over there too. His facial hair is ruining my dining experience.

M'Kay. Thanks.

Is it wrong to read a journal paper and keep giggling at "posterior simulations"?
alphadogg··on The first open source multi-device development framework.
The more devices targetted by a framework, the lower the common denominator...
alphadogg··on Resources are being utterly and completely wasted on mining bitcoins
..and no one has just started reading HN in the last few weeks, huh?
