Nearly everybody knows the W3C-(X)HTML-Validator and the W3C-CSS-Validator, there are quite helpful for all because they gurantee that software which is programmed following the guidelines of those standards should understand it correctly. With the new Web 2.0 wave, there’re some new validators, one (serious) for RSS/ATOM-Feeds (also available with a W3C-GUI) and one funny for Web 2.0. The first two are some very rich checking ones, but there some other partly useful validators: checking for no-www-compilance, a Creative Commons-Validator, and many more….
Keep the standards, check them and enjoy the funny validator(I like the Web 2.0 Validator 
)

One of the big differences of Windows and Linux is, that Linux mostly does not care about file extensions , which windows does. First, I thought that file extensions specifiy directly the type of a file, so that programmers do not need to care if it’s of the right type, but in the last time some of my friends ask m, why there selfconverted audiofiles don’t work. I first asked them what tool they used and they usally answered: “I just changed the file extension from wma to mp3″, which of course just makes a file ending on mp3 with wma-data in it. This would work in most cases under Linux and Windows too, but what if they change .sh to .exe, no problem under Linux(where the shell-script is still executed), but Windows would say, that it’s not a correct executable und just stop trying other cases.

But some others just ignore this fact and don’t care about usability. This persons should read Eric S. Raymonnd’s HTML Hell Page which describes nearly every big mistake, which is commonly made.
