"What 81,000 users wish it could actually do"

What bugs me is the sheer number of people, and organisations, who still link to images and video or '1/20' long screeds on twitter, while the next article on their own site is bitching about how bad twatter/owner/politics etc is. Seriously if a site, blog, forum etc you know ever links to twitter then just stop interaction with them, they're lazy mofos need to do their own groundwork.

I dunno what mess they got into with basic tumx use but yeah, just re-assign your ctrl^ key between local and remote and change your cursor and border colour you are fine. Scrollback on Windows, even using Terminal or Putty is, to me, a fail. Tell me 'cause it's a huge problem for me.

A dam is many things; is it for generating electricity? Is it political or ideological? Does it give a geographical advantage? Is it extortionate? Is it for drinking water? Is it beavers? This thing doesn't explain what it thinks a dam is.

True, it's not malice or stupidity, it's just "making money".

Google used to have an option to exclude sites from search - but then advertising... bit painful especially with all the scraping and frequent domain changes now, but better than nothing. IIRC there's some browser extensions which can do this for you.

Yes. Try adding 1 to a number which is already (in binary) all '1's. If you don't know the size of a byte, or an 'int' or a 'long int' etc for the language you are using you will be mystified why it is now 0, or maybe some other number your language decided was sensible to use (signed vs. unsigned etc). Then extrapolate that times 100 when dealing with floating point etc and presenting a sensible total in your shopping cart web app. If you don't know this stuff learn it or stay away from programming.

They want to make as much money as possible so they can go into space, or fund their extropian fantasies, and can afford to pay lots of unimaginative people like lawyers, marketing and bean-counting people lots of money to achieve it. Advertising is the crutch.
