My Pet Peeve
I hate it when credit card forms on web sites don’t accept spaces between the groups of digits. They are obviously valid characters, since they appear on the card itself.

I hate that too.
No good reason for it, except that programmers are trained to think rigidly.

it’s all about sanitizing the input before checking for incorrect formatting. I can’t imagine it’s too hard to remove some spaces from a CCN string.
I like Ezra’s suggestion, except it discounts the (heavy, if not primary) role of work experience in “training” any professional developer. So either a lot of web UI work gets done by non-professional devs, or it gets done for managers who don’t really give a shit about the quality of the final product. I’d believe both are often in effect.

Hello, I was just reading your post; Desultor » Blog Archive » My Pet Peeve. I don’t know if you have seen it or any of your readers but there is a new free shopping application that makes it easy to find the best internet price on any item. I got it last Tuesday for free and it still is I am sure.

There are a number of University research grants you can apply for so it is worth finding out about this type of funding.
