NRC less-than-smart astro web page
My nomination for the least "smart" web page from a science organization is the solar emphemeris page ( in this case merely sunrise and sunset times ) of Canada's National Research Council.
Not only can this page not divine my location in Canada, it cannot set DST in Canada.
And it does not know today's date, let allowing a click for tomorrow's instead.
Elegant minimalism ? Or just not very smart ?
Yes there's dumber to be found : public agency home pages with no text to select for annotation/clipping (only images, Flash, QuickTime.) When the copyright and contact link are images without ALT text, you know we have reached the illiterate web.
HTML is text ? Wadda concept.
You mean you can set the style of the h1 element ? Cool !
