WYSIWYG copy/paste is binary. It either is, or not. You can't tweak binary.

WYSIWYG copy/paste is bound to break at some point. But it should be pushed as far as possible to complex tasks not floated into the most abstract action - copying an address. The issue is conceptual, it is unrelated to implementation.

I fail to understand why someting that is totally reasonable to expect from any indevisual suddenly becomes "amazingly hard" when the indeviduals are grouped together.

The functional confusion stems from the modification of basic copy/paste, not from the removal of data from the address bar.

"upset" is not the consideration. There is potential for functional confusion, with a basic function, where none existed before.

Which "breaks" WYSIWYG.

What happens on Copy/Paste?

are not the same in the context of the web.

We need mute for sound because we, humans, can not "close our ears" or "listen away". The need for "video mute" is not as strong. We have the feature built-in.

Youv'e been downvoted. Give hand. Good dog.

Stay! Good dog.

It is amazing what people are willing to pay for.

I've been doin this for a while now. The problem is more mental than technical.

The first thing to accept is that this is by definition an irrisponsiable thing to do...;)

Then you need to flow with it. The main thing is not aiming at fixing everything as fast as possible but rather in a way that will be as reliable as possible. Or in other words, your primary consideration should not be an early alert on Friday night, but rather a wilingness to work the weekend making sure whatever happened will not happen again.

The tech details really depend on the specific application.

No. It is worse.

Yep. Your problem is not the term sheet. Your problem is you have no one to get advice from about the term sheet.

Not really. Sometime in life shit just happens for no good reason.

Which leads to the question - had this been repeated daily - can training make logic overcome the emotion at such a young age? Can the same situation be turned in to a "game"?

Me think so. You can't process Buzz to zero nor convert it to actions. At least not all of it.

Maybe the page designer has a "tell" :)

The vast majority of products (and web products) do not meet number 1. Appealing to a billion is not a prerequisite to being valuable or/and successful.

A lot of groupthink potential there...

The MBAs (and lawyers) will do the same to GOOG. Correction: are doing the same to GOOG.

Nope. An API provider and API user form a relationship that should be based on respect. I respected Google. What did they do? Read the link.
