There's an Android app as well...

They go on to say "Sorry about that" but I'm not convinced they are. Anyway, you might want to update you sig.

Voted up. Glad to see you again and hope you make it.

I'm far away from all this (geographically, politically, probably not effectively) but I wonder ... if this would allow anyone to shut down anything on the grounds of a mere complaint, then what's to stop the general public from complaining about a long list of .gov and .com domains on the same day this takes effect, and keep doing that?

The Big Bang.

Ooh, but that doesn't work. I must admit: I haven't tried this in Linux, but that is certainly the case on the BSDs.

Interesting. It shows how much I have still to learn, a number of years hence. But also shows how utterly chanceless it is for a newbie to know how to do proper research. Ah well, all the more "Getting Started With..." books sold... :-)

or how seemingly relevant research yields no results.

I learned rather early on that "man" gave you a small manual to a command. But I could never figure out how to EXIT the manual ... there was a period where I had to reboot after looking up each reference. So typing "man man" should yield appropriate research --- only, the man page for man does not in fact tell you that you need to type "Q" to return to the command line.

Overall, it was a very sobering experience to come from a DOS/Windows world and being quite experienced, and going ("back") to "a black screen with a blinky in the upper left corner".

And how do tables *become* better? Is there a full software development environment that is iOS- or Android-based?

Welcome to 1982! You can tell your boss I said so. ;-)

Bill Atkinson, of early Apple fame, also "struggled" (too strong a term, really) with the lines-of-code metric. "He thought his goal was to write as small and fast a program as possible, and that the lines of code metric only encouraged writing sloppy, bloated, broken code.", as the story goes.

+1 Excellent use of pre-emptive after-the-fact diplomacy! :-)

Which makes perfect sense. Sadly, unsparkless* robot-to-star* folk have a tendency to suffer fatal short circuits and are generally not long-lived. But we digress...

* beware technical jargon in the above

That is in all honesty a very good name for a shoulder-mounted gadget such as this. :-)

What a brain fart. Thank you.
