When "subtle" isn't in your vocabulary...
...you make a site like this: http://www.ghostmilk.com
Bright yellow background. Everything is blinking. Augh.

RE: Another horrific Java gem
Can the SQL passed in be semi-colon delimited? For example, "SELECT * FROM users WHERE 1=0; DROP TABLE users;"?

RE: Trouble Ahead
Even if it wasn't a terrible way to "separate" production/dev/QA data, haven't these people ever heard of a bitfield?

RE: Laziness or stupidity?

It's nigh-impossible to autodetect such a thing because the stereo mix line can be named arbitrarily by the vendor author, and there's nothing in the API indicating that's what it is. Sure, they could maintain a list of known names for it "What U Hear", "What You Hear" "Stereo Mix" "Loopback" etc. but that would lead to people whining if they're excluded.
Okay, well then I take back that specific insult for the program - sounds like the Windows audio API is a bit of a WTF.
I might give Adobe Audition a try if they get their hyperactive auto-updater under control.

Laziness or stupidity?
I use Audacity for cutting down audio files - it's free, open source, and slowly dragging itself out of the hole it calls a UI. But then I found this:

If it's known that stereo mix causes problems, why doesn't it automatically disable itself when Stereo Mix is active - or better - give us an option (Disable software playthrough when using Stereo Mix) that's checked by default. I don't know much about the API for Windows audio, but it seems like this could be sniffed out.
On a related note, if there's a better audio editor out there I'd like to know about it...

RE: Now that explains a lot...
I prefer a hidden field that needs to be empty to pass validation.
This code reeks of bad WYSIWYG editor.

RE: HTML5 Lip service
I find most HTML5 zealots I meet can't CSS their way out of a paper bag.

The new new way to make a link
I'm in an independent study this semester, and our project has been to build a statistics website. In this group, there is myself, a student from another university (who we haven't seen in two months), trendy unexperienced Web 2.0 guy, and unexperienced dimwit, whom I will call Chance, as you never know whose piece of the project he will screw up next.
Chance has been particularly annoying to me, as I appear to be the pseudo-leader of this group and thus all his dumb questions come to me. For example, "how do I retrieve a url in a Django template?" or "why isn't {{ MEDIA_URL }} working for CSS?". Perfectly legitimate questions, mind you, but those who were offered a slot in this course were those who supposedly did well with this very same framework. Whoops.
Thank god that this is the last week, and we have nothing to show for the entire semester. Of course, there is this little (anonymized) nugget that Chance wrote recently...
