First time I got banned from any forum, that's a historical moment!
I started a thread questioning whether the common forum practice of closing old threads when they're bumped, soliciting the users to create new ones, is really a good idea. I think it's not, that by not doing it the threads will be richer, containing more information, instead of being scattered around many topics all over the years.
Anyway, I referred to moderators who do that (not anyone in specific...

Browsers these days are still trying to re-fetch data when I press the infamous "back button". I think this was always a dumb idea.
No doubt that is the cause for many cases of web site double ordering. Someone backs up so they can print out the results of a previous page where they committed their order, and it causes the data to POST again, which places another order.

Can't believe I did that, wrote a very long post with lots of details for a new thread, then checked it out with a preview. Thought to myself "that looks good", so closed down Firefox and powered off the machine. "Hmmm, something's not quite right with that sequence" I thought to myself. Ah yes, must remember to press the Submit button next time.
I started this tutorial in response to a question asked on one of my other videos. Someone wanted to know what I would suggest as a PDF editor in Linux. I had every intention of showing PDFedit version 0.4.5, which is a little old now, having been released in May of 2010. However, I ended up finding totaly different application which was a bit of a surprise to me and the application did a great job editing a PDF. Better yet it's probably on your system right now, if not, it is definitely in your...
