What is wrong with this code?
There is no need to use Flash for this. Search for "CSS Rollovers" or something similar and you'll get what you want.

Sprites Are they the future? Good by visual markup, HOORAY!
This is stupid. I don't even know what 'sprites' are, as I assume you're not talking about CSS sprites, but it seems stupid. You're ignoring all sorts of issues, and what does "Graphically far superior than html text" even mean? Also, I guarantee I can code a site better (ie. better looking and performing and more accessible etc.) than anything any program would automatically output.

portfolio site, feel free to get your teeth in ;p
No need when you can do all that with CSS. Anyway, other than everything everybody else said; the italic text is very off putting. Italics is meant for emphasis not body copy.

Semantically correct use of H1
I can tell you in HTML5 at least that you use <hgroup> to group headers, thus you can (and should in blogs and such) have multiple H1 tags per page.

jQuery + Masonry + Infinite Scroll + .load
Ugh I didn't know Infinite Scroll was going to be such a hassle. The site was fine (and is fine) up to this point, but I can't figure out how to get it to pull in the data from the new pages. Basically what I am doing is using jQuery to grab the size of the window (needed for Masonry) and the url (variables for php) and pass it to a php file which then loads the content accordingly. Easy enough. Now I can set up Infinite Scroll by calling it from the load event, but of course it's not going to find anything in the page to be loaded as that page wont have called the php file yet ... how the hell do I get around this?

Should I be using HTML 5 for development?
I use HTML5 on all of my sites (see below and check portfolio). All you really need to make sure it works properly across all browsers is <script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>

Project Brief (Wordpress)
Sounds like what he really wants is BuddyPress - http://buddypress.org/ - it's based on WordPress so I don't think he'd have any problems if you were to go that route.

Music continues as you browse through pages...
There's a bunch of ways of making it happen. Off the top of my head, if you were using something like PHP and SoundManager it should be easy enough to pass the current position of the song through each page so that it continues from the same place it left off on.

Just finished my first logo, need some advice/feedback
The vinyl is too large for the x-height and your kerning needs a lot of work. It definitely reads better now, but I'm not so sure that the tonearm looks right.

Just finished my first logo, need some advice/feedback
It's nice enough, but in no way does that look like a 'b' to me. I read it as 'eatplexity' until I read through your post.

Which hosting solution do you use?
That is not a generalisation. That is an absolute. Also, when somebody is asking a question in which you give an answer I see no reason not to ask for clarification of reasoning, which you have now given.. I do of course disagree with the majority of it, but thank you for at least explaining why you think that is so.

When you leave out the </param and </embed> tags then make sure to close what were the starting tags with />

Which hosting solution do you use?
Ah, I see Wesh didn't back up their statement about VPS being no better than shared hosting last time either. If you have the skills/knowledge and the time to configure your VPS it will be miles ahead of any shared hosting.

Review this site please
I don't get it. Is the basis for this site even legal or do you just exist in some legal grey area? Surely YouTube and the like don't like the idea of people buying 'hits'.
-
Review this site please
I'll ignore for now how terrible the design is (this is the improved version? Really?). At least fix the myriad of grammatical mistakes all over the place.

Which hosting solution do you use?
What? Can you please explain why you think this?
-
How much is..
Why are you trying to figure out what it is worth after the website is completed? Surely you did that all upfront?

feedback website
A link to the site might help.

Pretty Stats
Well I suppose with a bit (a lot) of CSS3 hacking a pie chart would be perfectly possible. It's a good idea, something I'll definitely look into.

Pretty Stats
I'm sick of every web statistics monitoring tool out there. They either give me too much information or not nearly enough - and they universally fall down in one area that is very important to me: looks. I think it's something to do with the desire to cram in as much information as possible, but I don't care about your screen resolution, OS, continent, timezone, browser plugins, search engine, last time visited, or any of the other myriad pieces of information that is made available to me. So I came up with Pretty Stats - http://superpositionkitty.com/stats/ This is only version 0.1 (beta) of Pretty Stats, it's still missing a lot of the functionality and currently only works in the latest versions of Chrome, Opera, Firefox, and Safari. I'm hoping to release this as a package in the coming months as an add-on to Piwik (the API and back-end on which this is placed) This is where you guys come in. If you have a server, the ability to follow some instructions to install Piwik, a modern browser, and a want for prettier stats - then just send me a PM or let me know in this thread if you want in on the beta test. NOTE: I won't be selling this, it's going to be released under a GPL license and all that. I'm not looking to make any money off it, just trying to get a better looks stats package out there. Anyway, post away if you have any ideas/feedback/etc or want in on the beta.

Help! Web Hosting needed!
How about getting a VPS at http://www.linode.com/index.cfm. You've gotta know what you're doing, as it's completely unmanaged, but it's well priced - with a variety of levels - and extremely reliable. Probably the best VPS provider out there at the moment. EDIT: Blah blah blah not affiliated just been very pleased with them with my hosting etc.

best browser
It all depends on the platform and your needs. At the moment on OS X I'm finding the developer previews of Chrome to be best.

Is it legal to...
Wait, you want a backdoor to the system so that if people pirate your software you can access their system to disable it? No ... I'm pretty sure that's not legal. Best bet for piracy would be to give the system some sort of 'phone-home' capability on set-up on the clients side that allows you to automatically check if it's been pirated or not.
