Man, fucking middlebrow newspaper columnists.
Their idea of good writing is using the simplest possible words, beginning and ending their article with an "enticing" introduction and conclusion like their 3rd-grade English teacher taught them.
Also, putting every sentence in a separate paragraph for no fucking reason.
His column complains near-exclusively about WiFi yet blames "high-tech" in general.
I wonder what kind of "award" he won, Southwest Richmond columnist of the month? |

Yeah, I spent a few minutes trying to figure out how that link got there. It seems to be taking the link from the referer and storing it in a server-side temporary session variable indexed by the ID "oasPN" in the URL.
It's a pretty WTFy way of doing things. It leads to lots of strange potential side effects like the selectbutton link, and also if you wait 5 minutes and then reload the link disappears entirely. An incompetent Java servlet programmer wrote this... |
