Yeah, I know, right? Given the tone of many of his posts (R&P especially) you get this mental image of a cranky old dude sitting on his front porch yelling at the kids to get off his lawn!

I'm technically a Baby Boomer (1964) but aside from the music I like I have nothing at all in common with them.

Sorry, but the defining moment for my age cohort is very simple:
"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

just brew it! wrote:Dear web designers,
If your site automatically starts playing anything with audio when opened, without an immediately obvious (i.e. IN MY FACE when the page loads) button to shut it off, or at least mute the audio, I will be highly disinclined to visit your site in the future. TBH, I'd prefer that media not auto-play AT ALL, even if there IS an obvious way to turn it off.
Automatic streaming of media content without the user opting in is also extremely rude to any users who are surfing through a mobile device with a data cap.
As an added incentive, you'll use less bandwidth on your servers as well. Hmm... not pissing off your users, AND reducing your hosting costs... sounds like a win-win to me!
That is all.

Which is surprising when you look at how much stuff is so close to the pad compared to Canaveral. Seems to me that Antares is pushing the limits of what's safe to launch from Wallops.
