This is the standard RFC Nazi speech that i give to websites which fail on gmail plus notation email formats. Normally nothing changes, but maybe one day they will forward it to the right people and they will fix it.

“The original series, which ran from 1971 to 1977, was so popular in Romania it was broadcast there twice a week. When Columbo stopped production in the U.S., suspicious Romanians thought their government had canceled the show because of import quotas. Fearing riots, the Romanian government begged the U.S. State Department to have the show`s star, Peter Falk, make a public-service announcement explaining the real reason for the demise of Columbo. Falk obliged and taped a TV spot, which he read phonetically in Romanian.”

“speaker presents a graph in stages: first showing the axis, and then a baseline and then the actual results. So much better than just dumping the figure, and emphasizes the narrative nature of good experimental work.”

“With another minute of manual curation I had a list of 10 young women who went to my high school, their birthdays, profile photos, class schedules, the television shows they watch, the people they’ve dated, the parties they went to, where they eat on which days, and even a handful of mobile and home phone numbers.”

“WebKit has eight build systems, which cause perverse behavior. Peel back the covers and you’ll find tension about past code forks: V8 vs. Apple’s JavaScriptCore (“Nitro”), iOS (in a secret repository at apple.com for years, finally landing), various graphics back ends, several network stacks, two multi-process models (Chrome’s, stealth-developed for two years; and then Apple’s “WebKit2″ framework). Behind the technical clashes lie deep business conflicts.”
