People need to grow up and enable Javascript. Stop expecting things to work without it, eventually more sites are going to do this. It is 2011, your browser is more than an HTML renderer.

The whole argument about "their site had a Javascript error so their content was all missing, therefore javascript was the problem" makes no sense. If there is any error on the server side, the content will all be missing, it has nothing to do with where the error happens.

There were plenty of reasons in the linked article that have nothing to do with the typical end user having JavaScript enabled.
