The comma also dictates cadence. The comma implies a pause, which is also the correct delivery. The lack of a pause is not.

The Oxford comma has been proven necessary in a court of law. Omitting it cost one company millions of dollars: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/09/us/oxford-comma-maine.htm... It's a bit embarrassin

Except the Oxford comma PREVENTS confusion, and thus should be the rule.

Word for Windows was NOT worse than WordPerfect. WordPerfect continued using their primitive inline codes after GUIs were the norm. Word integrated an entire programming language (WordBasic), with which you could not just create macros, but

That's being too kind. Just doing regular WORD PROCESSING with Word now is a shambolic, pathetic experience. Then there's the lost-in-the-weeds, defect-riddled shitshow that is post-XP Windows. Microsoft's #1 priority now is

Then they shouldn't advertise what they can't deliver. As time goes by you realize that what you thought were solved problems are not, and precious few people actually demand that they be solved. Precious few people (and almost no

Thank you. That's the problem with butt-hurt crybabies who reject LEARNING. And I was polite, and I agreed with the sentiment! What kind of asshole rejects THAT? People's excuse for being lazy illiterates online is, "FU gramm

A few years ago I decided to move up from what I'd call "good consumer" receivers to something high(er)-end. So I shelled out $1400 for an NAD A/V receiver. This thing is unmitigated trash. It's riddled with design

The term is "per se," by the way. Otherwise you're on the money. This whole "debate" is dumb.

I've tried it. The first time it did generate an image, albeit missing one of the few elements I mentioned. Now it only generates black frames, even after being restarted. Not impressed at this point. The options are sizes up to 768 x

To add irony, part of the added weight of cars is the ton of safety equipment that legislators mandate more and more of every year. Maybe the last stage will be airbags on the OUTSIDE of the car.

No font should lack crossbars on the capital "i." That's just straight-up dumb. Nice to see that the font in question doesn't suffer from that mistake. Failure to distinguish O from 0 ranks pretty high on the "don&#

Menus on phones blow. It's a pain in the ass to fussily scroll around on a dinky screen and try to remember what has scrolled away that you were interested in, instead of being able to glance across a page. I sympathize with the PITA o

SAP is a peddler of trash software and obscene contracts to support it. It has been around for decades, making routine business tasks nearly (or sometimes literally) impossible to execute. Even better is that it's written in some bulls

Yeah, I think that was it. I respect that they tried, but I can't even see these things being used for air traffic control. 3-D? For sure. But big transparent panels?

That's not going to happen, because touchscreens on computers suck. Waving your arms around in front of you all day is a shitty way to work, and takes up way more space than a mousepad. Not to mention: Why would you want your hands and
