Poettering's (
http://poettering.de/) website is funny.
Code:
HTTP header:
Content-Type: text/html; charset: utf-8
Page source:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-15"?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/xhtml; charset=iso-8859-15"/>
Two different character sets and two different MIME types for the page (one of which is invalid, there is no such thing "
text/xhtml").
The document is in ISO-8859-15 by the way, but displays incorrectly because my browser assumes UTF-8 (HTTP header has precedence), *not* using UTF-8 in 2012 is something of a fail on itself IMHO.
The page also uses a table layout. Yikes! 1995 flashback!
Also note how he uses "proper" quotation marks (“ †instead of " ") but in the wrong order
It's also not clear this actually is a quote by Einstein, it's wildly reported to be, but I can't find the context where it's said.
Someone at wikiquotes did some more research, and it's doubtful at best that Einstein said this ...
The photo is nice though.

Too bad it's being served from a different domain (== more useless DNS requests) and that the URL has spaces in it (yak!)
... I know the guy isn't a web dev, but still ... It does show the complete lack of attention to detail and "let's just slap something together"-attitude that's so prevalent in much of the software these people churn out.
