Dear OP.

What you are after is a so-called "WYSIWYG" editor. This acronym stands for "What You See Is What You Get" - but is falsely misleading. I work as a web developer, and every single WYSIWYG editor I've ever seen is pure shit. Yes, this includes Dreamweaver and its amazing preview function. What you see is definitely not what you get.

The rendering of web pages are completely dependent on the web browser. For the browser to display the website correctly, the code must comply with certain standards and best practices. The problem being that there are so many different web browsers. And even though we hate to admit it, Internet Explorer 6 still has around 10-20% market share. FYI; IE6 is notoriously difficult to engineer content for.

Trust me on the following: if you don't care wether or not your website can be rendered in all major web browsers - your content can't be all too important either. The internet is full of worthless shit and if your goal is to just slap some more crap onto the intertubes, then - well you shouldn't. If your goal is to publish something of value for the public to read - then take the time to either a) learn what it takes to code web pages correctly, or b) hire someone to do it for you.

Don't use WYSIWYG editors. Stop being lazy. Get off my tubes.

The stories on Slashdot are more often than not submitted by its users. Granted, most users are citizens of your God worshipping union of states - but some of us do live in countries where biology teachers actually teach biology rather than scripture. IMO the moderators could spend a few extra calories making sure the articles are written from a more neutral perspective. Is that too much to ask?

Fixed that for you.

Yeh, I'll chime in on this ... Aaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :D

Americans...

Is that supposed to be a variable or an attempt at creating a Slashdot equivalent of a Twitter hashtag?

You're right, but it does happen every now and then...

1. The Indian Independence movement
2. The French revolution
3. Mao and The Peoples Republic of China (freedom and prosperity may not apply here, but it was an improvement, no?)

So thar.

I believe you just got trolled, sir.

Could you please elaborate on these allegations?

..?

We're actually not that far away when it comes to hovercars either: DARPA's flying Humvee
