I know. All that junk on the moon and the footprints have been placed by a 1960s robot that was able to cover its tracks and disappear without a trace. And that's by far not the strangest thing I was ever told here.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Whitney, the story of an OD.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

"But what if Javascript is turned off in user's browser"..
What the heck?!
Yes this conversation happens, when I say a code block could be moved from server scripts to browser, the developer says - "But what if JS is turned off in the browser, the whole thing would go mute".
I feel like replying,
"That's fine, You may first remove that viking helmet and put on 21st century developer hat"
The funny part is, he's damn young gen-Z coder. Not like most of you or me who fiddled with "Turn on/off Active-X & JS" in the 1990's Internet explorer.
I'm not even sure if we have an option to turn off JS in today's browsers like Chrome?
(Damn what an irony!, Mr Bob removed previews & or JS is really turned off in my browser?!, I couldn't see the msg preview. or even the button)

I think instead of "Advanced Settings", We could better call it "Vestigial settings". 
Seriously, Have you ever really tried this option to turn off JS?
I think it's equivalent to clicking on the "X" button at top-right of your browser. Considering the extent of JS' usage in today's web apps.

1. Most of the sites you see outthere are not! applications, so no need for JavaScript...
2. Try and turn of while browsing CP...

Actually I have my Chrome set with javascript disabled, and I then enable it on a per-site basis if needed. I'm just so sick of the excessive js for adverts etc these days and I'm also conscious that these ad networks often allow malicious agents to advertise so I've been taken to scam "Upgrade Flash" sites and "YOU'VE BEEN REPORTED TO THE FBI EMAIL this-is-the-fbi@gmail.com FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS" sites too many times. The way the web is evolving has forced me into this.

The extinction of Flash & the invention of ad-blockers has contained cheap visuals greatly.
Many such things like "Reports to FBI" loud warnings are usually done with GIFs.
And the evolution of CSS[^] might soon be a new problem to handle? I saw the designers writing extensive scripts in CSS.

And you may be surprised but there are a lot of places, where JavaScript is off, because of security reasons...And that's the real challenge

Yeah this could be true for super important requirements. But for simple routines, which could easily be done in JS , why should we let the server do? Turning off JS would mean turning off JQuery, Angular & a zillion other JS frameworks. I guess most of the new age web apps does use JS frameworks extensively. And I believe , nobody cares to turn off JS these days? I could be wrong, but in recent days I haven't heard someone saying "Oh sorry I had turned off JS in browser settings".

While the internet is better with JavaScript, I think that all websites need to be able to function with scripts disabled, at least some minimal functionality. I know that there are things that will not work without it but I still disable JavaScript on all websites by default. Even more so now that Forbes pushed malware to users using ad blockers. I will visit the website first with a locked down FireFox. Once I see the site is legit, I usually open it with Chrome or white-list it. I don't trust the internet enough to wander around without protection.

The worst is... when someone says like... "I want to access the client's printer using JavaScript"

Or even "I want to access the client's printer using Visual Basic" which I've seen a couple of times.
