Baseball avoids strike, whither NHLPA?

CNNSI.com: Baseball avoids strike with last-minute agreement

This is verrrry interesting. The players conceded the luxury tax, essentially a salary cap. It's interesting (to me) because the NHL is facing an immenent lockout or (less likely) strike in two summers, if they don't get a new CBA done by then. The owners, or at least the majority of them (but not necessarily the majority of the power they collectively wield with the league) absolutely must have a salary cap to continue operating.

Now that baseball players have agreed to a salary cap so baseball can survive in smaller markets (in return for ensuring baseball won't eliminate any teams during the four year agreement), the hockey players are going to have to come to the plate and offer essentially the same thing, or end up looking like the greedy assholes and risk huge loss of fan support.

Confessions of a Mozillian: Validation -- "Are you paying attention now, you ignorant, stupid, incompetent buffoons?"

Geez Dave, why don't you tell us how you realllly feel?

BTW, I set up my dad's new PC last week, and he's using Mozilla for browsing and email. I couldn't find a decent mail client for Windows that wasn't a known terrorist proggie supporting the axis of evil viruses, so Mozilla it is!

Visual Impairment Studio 7.0

Dave Winer's web browser, Microsoft Internet Explorer, can't render the Blogging Network site.

I find that quite amusing, since:

1) The site was generated using Microsoft Visual Studio 7.0. just look at the META tags on the page

2) Mozilla renders it very nicely on W2K and OS X.

So either Microsoft's tools can't make IE-compatible pages, the BN guys aren't using the tools properly, or IE just really does suck that badly at CSS. I'm guessing 2 out of the 3. Which two are an exercise left for the reader.
