RR (14,3,2): Another rant, about the same thing, again

I feel like a broken record. I've mentioned it many times.

Clearly, no one reads this blog. Other than me, Shaun, Shaun, ZY (occasionally), and probably some other classmates. (Leave me a comment if you belong to a "someone else" category so I know you exist.)

Despite knowing that whatever I write here is not even going to be taken seriously by anybody, I'll rant regardless, because I'm pissed. They force a 300-pixel wide element inside a 160-pixel wide "box" (a table element as you might have guessed), and, the site is LTR, and, the box happened to be right-aligned, meaning that the exceeding 140 pixel portion goes outside the screen. (Note that I'm not taking things like borders, margins, offsets into account. Not much difference anyway.)

As a student of a school that focuses on Mathematics and Science, how can it be that our students have to use a website where the developer thinks that 160 ≥ 300?

Also, they violate the GPL, quite subtly, but they do. See https://espace.highsch.nus.edu.sg/Include/decoder.js. No, it doesn't even seem that they use it. But for that matter, since the GPL was not included with the code, and they definitely were not the originator, they have no rights to distribute the code, as they have, thousands of times, each time someone goes to eSPACE.

I obviously don't think that the eSPACE developers have any common sense or intelligence at all.

Stupid morons, I hope you trip, fall, and die, so that we can have new, more intellectual people to work on eSPACE to make it better for everyone. If you don't wish to have such a tragic ending, I say just trip, fall, and be comatose for the rest of your life. Which is, honestly, an even worse ending, because then your family members can't make a huge sum of your death insurance, and they have to pay for the hospitalisation fees while you're comatose. (cue maniacal laughter)
