they're idiots thats why. Tables are still practical for tabular data, they just shouldn't be used for *design* layout

which in the case they have, is what it is

they're making the #1 error with web design. Thinking 100% about presentation and 0% about data.

Looking at the data makes it obvious

for instance, in the code, they have "strong" everwhere they have "code" . the "strong" is 100% redundant.

they're using strong here to influence a visual change, not a meaning change

holy. shit

and they have a span inside every a tag

just to signify that its link text

seriously, get the fuck off my internet

and numerically offest classes? HOLY FUCK?!?

just look at the source on that bitch, its all wrong.

every. single. bit.

when people will get a fucking clue what css is for and what tables are for
