I agree with you. Whenever I hear someone say the words "best practice" I rewrite that in my head as "average practice". If you have a team full of idiots you probably don't want to use git anyways.
Twitter has a lot of mindshare (I can't believe how much I see it mentioned on TV or mainstream newspapers). However, in terms of user base they are still pretty small (6 million?). There will be more competitors, especially since making your app work with Twitter is relatively easy.
It is extremely difficult to get an undergrad education without going into some debt even if you go to a public instituion. I went to a very cheap state school in a low cost of living area and even with a full scholarship I barely escaped without any debt from simply paying for room and board. I held a part-time job but at $7.50/hr it didn't go that far.
This is not exactly a very convincing article. For one the two examples do not display the same in FF3 (there's different amounts of white space between the three columns in the different versions), and of course, the examples looks completely different in IE 6 which is about 90% of the problem to begin with.
w3schools overestimates the firefox share because there are far more web designer/developers going to their site. The actual breakdown is more like 66% IE6/IE7 and 33% FF/Opera/Safari. Opera and Safari are a couple percentage points each.

While I believe its true, I still don't think good teachers are worth 100k/year. That's way too high. That's higher than any other basic profession except doctor/lawyer, and there are certainly some doctors and lawyers that don't make that much, e.g., public defenders.
When I put ubuntu on my machine at home firefox 3 seemed substantially slower than it did on windows. I'm not sure if FF3 is crappy on iinux or if there was something about my install that was screwed up.
What's a more efficient way to financial freedom than creating and selling a startup? Probably the only other realistic alternative was becoming an investment banker, but I don't think anyone is going to argue for that one right now.
Why can't you ask if someone is a US citizen? I thought certain jobs (e.g., DoD contractor needing security clearance) required citizenship? Or are you only allowed to ask about that in specific circumstances?
If there's a 100 different systems out there that's a pretty amazing sign that CMS is not a solved problem. I think part of the problem is there is no way to build a one-size fits all solution. Any solution will need to be customized by a technical person.
A conservative is someone you don't like (if you're a liberal). Other than that, I have no idea what the hell it means (vice versa for the term liberal). Political discussions are tough to have because the terminology has become so meaningless. Far too often, I see people slap a political label on a person or policy and the label is intended to be derogatory rather than informative.
Twitter has got some pretty impressive growth right now. I'm sure they are pitching reasonable plans to their investors for how they are going to make money. However, Twitter does seem overly cautious with rolling out any attempts to generate revenue.
I honestly think that Twitter could become The Next Big Thing(TM), so I don't think the investors are crazy for investing at a high valuation.
I pray this is someone's cruel joke. You just wouldn't write code is poetry at the bottom of every page for an xml programming language unless this was a joke.
Also, it runs on the JVM, but is called X#. I mean... I'm honestly speechless.
No, its about the new display: table property, which really will make life easier. However, IE 6 and IE 7 don't support it, so in about 5-10 years this book will be relevant.
