A TECHNICAL QUESTION from the Idealistic Idiot:
OK, you know how some programmer somewhere had to write code specifying that when (not "if," sadly) your browser crashes, you get that little prompt telling you that your browser crashed and asking you whether you want to report it for investigation?
Well, instead of writing that, why not write code that reloads the last page loaded?
We can put a man on the moon (and load the damn page in the first place), but we can't do something as simple as that?
