You might be able to win $500 in an ADA case. It is even tax-free money I understand. Screen readers have issues with some radio buttons last I knew. Things may have improved I suppose.
Now that came out a bit garbled. I will leave it to you to fill in the details. Hopefully you can still parse it.
I have actually contacted hardware drivers (and even Microsoft) to complain and have had them reply quite nicely. Microsoft released a hotfix for us (we were not the only ones to complain) and a plotter company (whose name I have forgotten) updated a driver for us. We had less than 200 employees at the time. I did the initial contact with both companies. We may have done more that I am simply unaware of.
To be fair, I can not think of any that have been universally fixed. Even polio is still around in pockets. We have made vast improvements in first world countries but, really, what have we actually fixed? By fixed I mean completely... I honestly can not think of any problems that have been fixed completely. Not a single one that I can not find a case where it is there is still a problem for some portion of the population. Maybe fire but, then again, we can not effectively control it in all instances.
I know I am being pedantic but, frankly, this is one of those subjects where we should be pedantic. Niggling details that affect others besides ourselves are still niggling details with great importance to others, maybe.
It will be nice to tweet that the Sun is expanding and that the Earth's certain, nonnegotiable, doom is immanent. I am fine with letting our species die out and the planet disappear as a hunk of ash because I am an asshole that does not care about four billion years from now. Are you?
That is NASA's job and not the job of The Smithsonian. We can do both, trivially, and this is not something you are forced to participate in. As such, you really do not get a say in the matter other than to whine online about it. You can send your few dollar donation to NASA if you want. You can not tell them that the condition for your donation is specifically for a space suit, however. More information can be found in a number of links from this page:
I pay far less in taxes than I should. I pay a smaller percentage now, it is all capital gains as I live entirely off interest and (I suppose, technically) dividends. I fully acknowledge and accept that I am able to do so because I can hire a lawyer and an accountant and they ensure I pay the exact minimal amount to the penny. I never pay more, I never pay less.
Instead, I take the amount of money I should have paid (and then some) and donate it to causes I agree with. I donate more than I can write off (which further reduces my tax burden to a point). I like being able to decide how much I spend on what and to be able to support things I agree with. I think that this could be done at the federal level and could even be an incentive to actually get to pay a higher total than they now pay. While it is true that I pay less in taxes it is also true that I pay much more into the social contract than I ever have.
D'oh! I must learn to scroll down before posting. Unfortunately it is difficult as there are often many replies. But, yes... It is called a browser. You can even customize this newly created interface by adding favorites which make it a trivial task to navigate to sites. We should call them bookmarks, or favorites, and promote such an idea. Maybe a standard display language, let's call it markup, will be beneficial.
I have not looked and would not know but it seems that there should be a potential for a miniature device markup language. Sort of like HTML but for mobiles and other small-screen devices. The blink tag should be part of that ratified standard, of course. (The blink element was never depreciated because it was never actually a part of the standard. Browser vendors opted to include it.) Anyhow, the miniature device markup has potential for resizing and can be extended to make an app like the one the OP was talking about more easily. I have my own personal issues with W3C but they are probably the best tool for the job should this ever be considered.
I was primarily reacting to rubycodez post being the 4th or 5th time he said exactly the same thing in this article.
As for Tajmar, he is not the first or the last experimenter who has been in error, it's the nature of science. Remember the FTL neutrinos? As for warp drive, I can find no reference to him making such a claim. I can't even find a wild media claim of that for him.
Of course, the real train wreck is that there's no standard for making websites' contents available for app use, which would allow a user to install one reader that can read content on any of the dozen sites that he or she might be interested in.
I believe they call that a browser.
If the latter part is true then you would not need to post it. The reality is that people do not care - some even profess to like ads. I, personally, have enough compute power to block them and many interests so I needn't deal with obtrusive sites. Most people just do not care. The minority does not rule the masses and this, the internet, is one place where that holds true.
Ghostery is your friend. Disconnect is also good. Both is better. Both can be done with uMatrix but that is a bit harder to configure and use (it takes a while to get things whitelisted). I prefer the uMatrix route personally.
I think they were pretty clear and reasonable. I have similar/same complaints and am an avid Linux user.
Where did they place blame on anyone but the OEMs? Your rant makes no sense when I read the post you are replying to.
