W3C Conspiracy Uncovered

W3C Conspiracy Uncovered

The Schlong Institute just ran a validation test on the W3C Markup Validation Test, and gave it an F+.  Here's why. I know programmers.  I have programmed.  No program will even run if there's just one error.  Here's one of my more successful programs, as an example. 10 INPUT "What is your name: "; U$ 20 PRINT "Hello "; U$ This was a very useful, and widely distributed program. However, suppose I forgot a quotation mark? 10 INPUT "What is your name: "; U$ 20 PRINT "Hello "; U$ Instead of getting "Hello Karen," my customers would have seen "ERROR LINE 10," and I'd have been out of a job. So, what I'm saying, with their "1904 errors," is Picky, Picky, Picky!  The fact that you're reading this proves the point, Here's what this is all about.  fredw let the cat out of the bag with this statement. ''... the days of letting your nine year old do your corporate web page are long past.'' I phoned W3C spokesman John Frink last night and asked him about my theory -  that computer geeks were upset about having invented something so easy to implement that even a child could do it.   ME:  Professor Frink, isn't this all about validating your high paying jobs by making it too difficult for the average person to understand? FRINK: Well, theoretically, yes. But you have no concept of the Elementary Chaos Theory which warns us that  amateur programming will result in computers killing their masters and running amok in an orgy of blood and the kicking and the biting with the metal teeth and  the hurting and a shoving-flavin. Mw-hurgn-whey. I rest my case.
