The Final Fantasy series has spawned a lot of "stories" like this one over the last 30 years.

A notable one being related to the MMO Final Fantasy XI, with the "Maat's cap" item being created by Square Enix to praise a player who achieved the maximal level on every job available in the game. Which back then needed hundreds of days of slow and frustrating grind.

It's a pity how little most people know Mark Twain. He was so much more than the guy who wrote Tom Sawyer. He had many different and uncommon lifes in his life...A lot of inspiring things too.

His 3 volumes autobiography is a long but amazing read, just like his letters. But my favorite is "Life on the Mississippi". All this is close to 2000 pages but it's worth reading.

>Ads should be strictly regulated and the Internet should be completely free and open

While I completely agree with you on both points, I'm afraid both things that are mutually exclusive :(

I'm not sure the world needs a new markup syntax, especially an awkward mix of HTML and Markdown. But I could be missing the point, since I just base this on my own needs.

But thing is, talking about performance and scale goes exactly against your project's credibility. These are pretty much the two dumbest criterias when it comes to markup syntaxes.

Do they do that ? And why exactly do they do that ?

My beloved book. My kids books. My cat.

The advice you might get here are worthless compared to a few hours talking to a shrink.

To me the fact you'd eat a pizza with bbq sauce is already disturbing. It has to be one of the biggest sources of sugar in existing savoury sauces.

What's wrong with tomato sauce ?

> visual quality

When it comes to food --and specifically fruits and vegetables-- visual aspect is not a good indicator of taste or nutrition value. I would actually argue the opposite.

It seems sad to me that the same people who pretend to be "hackers" are puzzled by a situation like this one.

Binary patches are a perfectly normal thing, may it be from Microsoft or a random company.

Excellent point.

Hopefully someday a "lean webpages" movement appears.

Progress is not in the absence of taxes. Progress is in a fair and efficient use of the taxes money.

Definitely. And it would also help "real" states if they started to play nice, by paying their taxes where they're due.

But I think the over-the-top tax optimisation is actually what will ultimately cause them to lose their power (aka boycott by users, huge financial penalties from "real" states, or break-into-pieces scenario a-la-Standard-Oil) someday.

Commands like cat, cut, sort, uniq and awk are still pretty relevant nowadays. Even on huge volumes of data.

OneNote works wonders for me.
