Here you go - just built an extension on jQuery for you to link dts and dds.

Tell me if you think the function naming needs some tweaking.

An unfortunate aspect of this is that the "next" request doesn't cater for the fact that a definition term has many definition descriptions (not necessarily just one) - and likewise, a definition description may have many terms.

Re: IE6 No More! Popular Web Companies Start Project to Kill IE6

Far more relevant is hey-it.com.

You need to realise *why* IE6 is still such a big force. For that I have one word: enterprise.

DIGG did the hard work to identify this (hello, talk to anyone in enterprise to *know* this).

Of course the API is the first thing to go down. It's "hobbled mode" - when the servers are under severe strain you reduce the non-priority tasks.

Flickr does this (talk to John Allspaw about this one).

The electricity industry does this ("load shedding" of non-essential load from in order of increasing priority to maintain connectivity).

Both in real time.

Both to prevent the undesirable consequence of failure and a black start.

Agreed.

Flickr's ToS is fairly obvious about the fact that if your pro account isn't up to date you aren't able to dive into your archives using their API. The links still work. The images and pages are still there, but they're not linked nor shown in results using the API (either them internally or the externally facing one).

The plus side is that they *do not* destroy those assets that you've uploaded, nor the additional meta. They just remove it from viewing.

Consider it like not being allowed on the road until you pay your registration and other requirements (eg: insurance in some countries).

As always, it pays to read your ToS when signing up to any account.

Re: The online life of Jonny Arkin - I've eliminated TV from my home

While I agree with "cutting the cord" you unfortunately cannot say you've eliminated TV - you've just surplanted preprogrammed television with DIY-programmed television (hulu and the like).

Mels, I love what you've written here!

I definitely agree that part of the drive comes from ones upbringing. While they don't directly dictate the definition of success they certainly go a long way in shaping what we believe success is.

One thing I would say is that failure is not supported in Western societies as much as it should be. Making mistakes is often one of the best ways to discovering a better way of doing things that otherwise would not have been found. Schools, universities and the general society at large all place a massive emphasis on "winning" on "achieving" and more importantly "never failing", but sometimes those mistakes make us stronger, make us better and more importantly remind us we are human, provided we learn from them and don't ignore them.

We ignore history at our own peril.

This is nothing compared to the potential outfall that a Y!+MSFT combo would cause for NineMSN and Yahoo!7 in Australia. The outfall over that will be hilarious to watch if it occurs :)

I'm really not surprised with this sort of net nannying. We have it much *much* worse at our work :\
