I hope they find it and he gets an exemplar punishment. M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Oh, and to be fair, browser compatibility is where the real pain the booty comes in. Unfortunately, most browser makers (cough, cough Microsoft) hate following standards. Was even worse in the past when there was no standards committee as everyone was fighting for web dominance. But, thank God it's much better these days. Anywho, the site `Can I Use` will be your new BFF for web development as it'll list browser compatibility. You can automate all of this of course if you have a proper dev environment set up in Node, but for a quick check it's still a great site to know. Here, I'm checking to see which browsers support viewport units like `100vh`. So, they've been around for about 10 years now, which makes them pretty safe to rely on with this. For people with an old browser that doesn't support flexbox or viewport units, it just won't span the entire viewport unless there's content. No biggie. Site still works.

oh, my Ubuntu installation would complete FREEZE when certain media was played. The screens were frozen but I could still see the cursor move around the screen, but nothing else. Recreated the issue numerous times with Firefox. No other browser causes the problem. unfortunately left firefox behind.

Acedamia is great and needed, but you don't _really_ learn something until you apply it and use it. Even Einstein said at some point you gotta get your face out of the books and start doing. Never stop reading, but do something already... otherwise you're just repeating crap you don't really know. Personally, I think OOP (even the version we know that's not the same) is cool. I like the way Java/C# organizes things, for instance. Nothing against the theories. But, you can also accomplish the same concepts with functional programming, etc. Then you get peeps that don't even understand what they're doing acting all superior. Welcome to life I guess...

Now that you spelt it out, I can see it. Very clever, but probably still way over my head. I will continue to try and figure them out, but I will not hold my breath on it actually working. Thanks for the explanation. Within you lies the power for good - Use it!
