I just stumbled upon Aptana and I got to say I'm impressed.

Coding to standards

Coding to standards - the art of spending 95% of your project development time making sure that every char in your code meets every possible standard. Stop trying to meet standards, not only because its a pain but its almost impossible and time wasting. If we spend too much time trying to meet it all, time will not be on our side. Sometimes its best to seek functionality and completion instead of compliance. Your users do not care and probably will never care about your perfect css, or perfect xhtml.

Penalty does not prove anything

Now that I'm over it, I am stunned that the officials of FIFA allowed the final game to end in penalty kicks. As huge as the world cup is, I strongly believe that there should be another way to evaluate the best team, especially in the finals. Penalty kicks are just not enough and they don't prove anything! Ok, I'm calm now - its off my chest. NOTE: I was all for Italy.

Hacker at play

We all know how vulnerable our browsers are - a gazillion exploits are available to the public for anyone to use. Script kiddies are usually surfing for exploits to test out their skills. According to the channel adviser website, a famous hacker (Metasploit Framework) has compiled a boat load of exploits and plans on releasing a single flaw per day for the whole month of July. These exploits will range from browser to browser, probably the most widely used once such as Internet explorer, opera, safari, etc. The project is called MoBB - Month of the Browser Blogs. What a fun project! Although I...
