I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Hey. New board.
Wait? Kindles can cruise the web?
A bit slowly, but yes. Not bad for smallish text-based pages.

It is sort of like cruising the web on my phone, but, um, slower. I did figure out my mystery-- I had to click near the top of the page to change my settings instead of going to "settings"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I refuse to believe the world is a better place for the omission of t /td . Tables are bad enough already. They help to be sure of what was intended.

Yeah, your code might look leaner, but it's a lot more unreadable. Seems like omitting those tags would make debugging way more difficult.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Yoiks! I wouldn't be happy omitting all of those for the simple fact there are still people out there with browsers that would go haywire with the omissions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like the organisational aspect of HTML too much to be able to easily give up even things that might seem as redundant at t body or t html . But I haven't been generating pages where the size differential would be significant and the readability wouldn't be impacted.
And I've had to trawl through some heavily unindented manically nested HTML of late that makes me grateful for extra structure. I'd need a lot of convincing for its removal.

I'm certain I've run across javascript code (maybe prototype?) that failed in tables unless there was a tbody tag.

I can get Windows 7 Home Premium for $30. Should I? I have no need to install it yet, but the deal expires next week and I'm thinking it might be good to have a cheap copy on hand for the day I do want to install it, even if that day is a year or two out.

Coding and Sleeping
Windows 7 has been good for me. There are some definite improvements in the UI, it handles solid state drives better, and it seems very stable. Also, it includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Going 64 will give you access to more than 3GB of RAM.
