    I wish Libre or Open Office would be anywhere near as good as MS Office. But the reality is, they are not even close. Unless all you use it for is type out a lost cat flyer per year.

    Not really. Their pockets are already stuffed, and they can stuff them more in the back rooms without doing any of that pesky legislative stuff.

    And this is important to them. They don't like to be awaken by someone chitchatting next to them, when they fly around on first class.

    So the solution is either this, or we have to buy them all private planes. They are just doing us a favor, by saving that cost.

  6. Re:global warming is not the issue on Newly Discovered Greenhouse Gas Is 7,000 Times More Powerful Than CO2 · · Score: 1

    That's not remotely simple.

    You are absolutely correct. Not easy. The first thing that has to change ishow we view this issue. I show you what mean:

    ..conservatives lose their shit completely..

    That's the first and biggest hurdle. They tricked you my friend. This has _NOTHING_ to do with red, or blue, or left or right. In fact, democrats are just as if not more sinister on this issue. But I'll get to that in a sec.

    The reason why there are so many poor people, why poor people have so many kids, and poor people just can't find a way out of the rut, is because it gives more power to the people pulling the strings. The more people there are, and preferably the less power and money they have, the better it is for the tipity top of the rich.

    It is simply not in the interest of those dudes to empower poor people, even if they tell you otherwise (this is how they tricked you for example into thinking that this is all the conservatives' fault).

    More people, more money, more power, more CO2, although they don't give a shit about that last one.

    You say but now everyone in the US will get free contraception. However the only reason for that is to stuff big pharma's pockets.

    Look at any self proclaimed leader of poor minorities. Show me one, just one that would tell his/her people to go to school, don't have kids at 16, and to take care of their kids when time comes. You won't find any. Because if their peeps would be successful, they would not be needed. Of course you can't talk about this, without being called the R word.

    So now to the solution. Very simple: family and education. (Dudes in power (red, blue, green, purple) hate that.) Take care of your kids, and check their homework. Pack their school lunch. Hang out with them, ditch the nanny and babysitter.

    And before you tell me to pull the tinfoil hat off, no, thank you, it keeps my head nice and toasty roasty. Actually, kidding, don't have one. But I leave you with this research: look up, including government and CBO reports how the poor and the rich are doing under our current administration that proclaims strengthening the middle class.

  7. global warming is not the issue on Newly Discovered Greenhouse Gas Is 7,000 Times More Powerful Than CO2 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Global warming is not the issue.

    The problem is overpopulation. The solution to which is pretty simple: stop shitting out kids.

    Global warming is just a symptom, or might be mother nature's way of fixing the problem. Although its long term effects are far less predictable than the weather tomorrow. (Which seems either impossible, or all climate scientists and meteorologists suck.)

    OK, let's back up a second and make sure that we are not kidding ourselves into thinking that any music played on a computer cannot somehow be recorded.

    I seek to become a decent developer.

    That's awesome. And I see your challenge, because most likely the people that cut your paycheck want you to spend pretty much all your working hours exploiting users. I obviously can't provide any suggestions there, other than find a job where you can look at yourself in the mirror while shaving, because those razor cuts hurt.

    I'm also not going to google for you how to maintain session state without cookies.

    But as long as you make sure that the back buttons works, on all pages, all the time, even on your landing page, you will be a much better developer.

    Awesome. So basically all those shit websites would disappear. I can live with that

    which external music and video player should a site's operator choose to support

    Magic, my friend. Just put a link to the mp3 or mp4 on your site. Works like a charm. In fact, it would be less hassle, pain and suffering for everyone involved.

    in what non-crappy manner should sites be coded?

    You kidding, right? Currently even to get to a webpage, you go through like 8 redirects. So this one is very easy to answer. You need two things:

    1. hire decent developers
