I hated it in Pascal and I hate it now in del.icio.us. This might even force me to stop using del.icio.us.
Of course, it isn’t the number that I really hate- its the programmers who, rather than think of the realistic use cases for a column called “notes”, just settle for the default “biggish computer number” that pops into their head. You’d think they would have at least upgraded to 512 or 1024 by now.
Grump.
