I am a developer too, and you did not understand my point. I know how complicated it is for a computer to handle this situation, but you as a developer should make things easier/simpler/intuitive for the user, not to yourself (as a developer) or to the computer.

Humans beings use spaces in the names they give to things or to other human beings. So, why their computers would have to behave differently?

Look at that, fellow slashdotters. Here's an prime example of a being with such hatred of those who differ from the standard tea-party maggot, that anyone who agrees with how Musk do business is immediately and viciously attacked in the most Neanderthal way. Poor guy.

The good thing about Musk (and guys like him) is that profit is not the sole and exclusive purpose of the company. They are looking to do something well and profit is just a welcome consequence of this, not the sole purpose..

...The world is running out of hellholes that tolerate slave labour, ...

This. Exactly that. People are not made to work like machines until they die of exhaustion, people are made to live as people. And the work is only a means to live, not the reason of the life.

I miss too. Okay, VB is bad to deal with threads (is possible, just not simple), is slow compared to C and have several other small defects. But having said that, so far I have not seen a better IDE to build simple and complex graphical interfaces, I had easy access to COM/ActiveX objects and if I really needed, is reasonably simple to deal directly with the Win32 API.

You picked up a very bad example. It is perfectly possible to make very good applications using VB6 when you know what you're doing, and the same goes for any other programming language. But when you have a "script kiddie developer", he will make trash code in any language.

This is not a problem in itself. The problem is when they propose to do a better tool and just end up creating a yet another very bad tool.

Developers suck.

The new kids (new developers) sucks. They do not have the slightest idea of what is programming in an efficient manner. All that matters to them is to make "shinny new things".

The upscaling from 720p to 1080p is the one you can tell the difference easily. When you have a 720p display and another with 1080p, with similar size, you will note the bigger pixels on the 720p display. And, you would not see the difference only if you are at a distance of the two displays where you can not discern the individual pixels of the 720p display

You need a good quality 1080p film (or picture) to be able to see the difference. I have a 1080p setup at home and I can tell for sure the difference between 720p and 1080p sources.

IS fraud, plain and simple. Because despite receiving the inferior panel, you paid the price of the quality one.
