If you really have to design your pages for a specific resolution, it's safe to go with 1024x768 anymore, but if you want to include people with really old computers still using CRT monitors etc, stick with 800x600. (I think the conventional wisdom is that about 5 to 7% are still using 800x600) However, you should be using relative DIVs and percentage widths to create a page that will collapse a

From what I read in The Economist, the quota is 25% women. I'm still trying to figure out how you work that out with popular votes. What do you do? Do you give every 4th seat to the woman candidate even if she only got 1% of the vote? Do you count up the number of males versus the number of females and then if there are less than 25% women, do you give the winning votes to enough of the hig

Finding out that a president smoked pot is like finding out a president drank alcohol. Unless you're a teetotaling prohibitionist church-lady, it shouldn't matter one bit.
