bart416Fucking Web 2.0 retards07:48
bart416Making everything javascript was suuuuuuuuuuuuuch a good idea07:48
horizontallylol07:48
bart416now if a website doesn't respond you have no fucking clue of knowing what has happened07:48
Thetawavesyou can still look at the headers of the ajax07:49
Thetawavesit's all the same technology07:49
bart416Thetawaves, that requires you to open a network monitor though07:49
Thetawavesawwww poor baby07:49
bart416Something I refuse to do while browsing07:49
bart416their javascript doesn't make the general web browsing experience better, so when will they realise how stupid it is and trash it?07:50
Thetawavesi dunno man07:50
Thetawavesextjs grid is something you just can not replicate without javascript07:51
bart416usage of javascript != web 2.007:51
bart416Hence the "their"07:51
bart416Also, I'm specifically complaining about people who use the javascript to load the content07:52
bart416"to make more fluid page loads"07:52
bart416And in the process disable the back and forward buttons07:52
bart416cause they're too retarded to fix the functionality07:52
Thetawavesthey are stupid and doing it wrong, you can navigate with web 2.0 using back/forward07:52
Thetawavesspecifically using #anchors07:52
bart416Yes, but it'd still be better if they'd trash the javascript for that, and learned a thing or two about stylesheets07:53
bart416You can perfectly send the same type of content, encased in 2-3 xml tags07:53
bart416And have a stylesheet do the rest07:53
bart416Obviously this is hard for their tiny brains07:54
