  • congratulations: you've actually found a way to make a webcast sound WORSE than a live recording.

  • very very good. I run into more issues with EAV and it drives me nuts

  • Anyone who suggests splitting names into first and last names must first read Kalzumeus's Falsehoods programmers believe about names (geej youtube on not allowing links). The best way to store names in fact is free form text and then applying string parsing if and when needed by the interface depending on the particular demands of the interface.

  • nice reminder of what not to do. thxs

  • lol 35:37 hat="old"><teeth="gold"

  • The soundquality was awful :(

  • Great one, thanks for sharing it

  • @Gerrrry There's a difference between subtlety in satire and a poor presentation of material. I thought this presentation was informative, well written, and poorly presented. Josh is not John Cleese, so it's hardly surprising that there's some room for improvement.

  • No it doesn't, subtlety in satire is a good thing because it teaches shallow thinkers a good lesson when they get called out.

  • @SebGarth Dude, look up "satire"
