Funny, I'd assume we'd got consensus on that one. - Anyone who recommends disabling paste as a security feature is a fraud - Doing UA sniffing is always a mistake - If the user's browser doesn't support `autocomplete=&qu

Orbital mechanics and "next to" don't go together particularly well, so it's not quite as easy as popping something up there. The Chinese have put Queqiao-1 in the earth-moon L2 point which seems to be working out for th

Worse still, the loop-de-loops can make your packets dizzy which is an unpleasant experience for anyone doing a video call with you and makes games such as VR chat completely untenable.
