Out of curiosity, what is your opinion on the minimum screen resolution that should be supported on a website? I've been using 800x600 for the past couple years, but with the advance in technology, is it prudent to assume most people will be using 1024x768? I don't care too much for variable-width layouts just because I don't like my elements moving around when the page is expanded/shrunk.
What do you think?

Re: Minimum Screen Resolution
1024 x 768 has been the accepted norm for a while now. In my corner of the web, 800 x 600 accounts for about 1% of my users. I'm sure there are stats for the Internet as whole that reflect a very small percentage of 800 x 600 users.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Re: Minimum Screen Resolution
the easiest thing you can do is go through your Google Analytics (for that matter any mainstream analytics) data. They usually collect this data. I'd say, don't worry too much about screen size. There are many new android phones / iPhones / iPads / iPods out there with various screen sizes. So try to settle on one size. (Say 1024 * 768). Everything else sooner or later, will fall into to place.
