Oh, in a world so confused it's such a relief to come home to the blah of theReg - shit happens - how relieving and confirming even.

Ahhh home.

Well 1/10 ain't bad - now all we need is for tech corporations and web meisters to implement the output of these two.

I tried years ago to use Mobile HTML5 and half the phones browsers ignored chunks, and while I thought Grid was good it did a little too much, and I would have loved frames to get some boost such as "dual links" the form loading from same server as primary frame with one click to load image & description or chapter & content index etc.

the pain of finding correspondence in browsers just wore me down and I gave up.

The other problem is that too many web meisters use Java to give their work some uniqueness so they can price it accordingly , they do it with Java instead of HTML5 etc.

Windows

Torture I can do without

Like most in these comment pages - NO Thanks Microsoft !

Always on - in a climate-change Anthropocene epoch always on & always connected is the last thing I want.

Subscription software, not surprised that the Bill Gates owned Apple (does he still own 50%?) jumped first to that situation, Microsoft will follow soon after.

AI-powered with "cloud-connected experiences - F the cloud I want to use my own set up at home without having to rely on anything else enhancing my experience as my Microsoft experience is not a good one.

The First thing I did to Windows 8 was rip out Microsoft shop lock stock and barrel.

Multiple input - We supposedly could do that before - but the the clueless changed the mouse capacity combining the acceleration with the scale so it always jumps around and won't allow sufficient separate adjust.

Right sensor support and posture awareness - I been tying to re-change screen colors for years so I can differentiate separate title-bars like in XP or earlier.

So thanks theReg for warning me about this crap, I'll give it a wide berth.

then you don't complain when they employ AI and use ML in the absence of staff.

Works at speeds greater than human capacity, takes on drudgery and works tirelessly with out a pause unless stopped.

If only it would get me a cup of coffee and walk my dog.

A Journalist or a journalist

Is a bad journalist a Journalist ?

Is there a distinction in Journalism between a good Journalist and a bad one ? - eg 'an old hack'.

Is a self styled journalist a journalist ?

The argument may rest on was Julian Assange a Journalist ? Even if it was just him thinking he was and doing whatever self styled Journalism ideas fitted.

Saying Journalist over and over does not cement the idea of Julian Assange being one any firmer in my mind.

Journalists can spy, even if it is to publish later, they fulfill their own ideology

suppose its how you play the game
