I was referring to the programming error, not the web site...
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.

It's actually every bit as scientific, as Beaufort built his scale based on how far water was blown.
"Little bits of white on the waves" is no more scientific than "tipped over". The only real difference being that Beaufort was a rich, pampered twit, so everyone had to treat him like a genius.

Basefolder[^] is bluddy cool!
No storage limits (it's on your HDD!), no nags, way less risk, etc. than DropBox, gdrive, or (security horror of horrors) onedrive.
Just set up a new, ne'er to be used elsewhere e-mail address for it, install it on a machine you never switch off, and Bob's yer mascot!
Hopefully, the android ES File Manager boys will add it as a "share to" destination, soon, but its own android app is usable enough.

This is the first time I have heard of it.
And COOL!!!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

First I've heard of it too, thanks for the link!

Why is onedrive considered any worse than the others?

Quite recently, I noticed that Onedrive immediately accesses and spiders all your drives, not just the directory that you set aside for it.
This includes all network drives, so, whether you work for a tiny firm or big corporation, all you need is one employee to install the onedrive Windows app, and MS has access to every file on every HDD belonging to the company.
What makes me laugh is that they market this as a useful tool, categorically proving the purloined-letter effect.

Oh bugger, I just got Office 365, which I am learning to loathe, and it really wanted OneDrive so... The argument to chuck Office is getting stronger every day.

I upgraded to Office 2003.
It works much better -- no ribbon, twice as fast, and no NSA back doors.

I tried to install my 207 on a windows 8.1 and it was not a supported OS, what bullshit!

Ha!
2003 installed right away on 8.1, with no problems!
Yup, all they do is improve their software...

Why not paper and pencil?
Why not a banana?

Because neither of those give you a similar user interface plus support for modern file formats?

But bananas give you niacin, which we've already established to be the panacea, and writing/drawing manually are good for hand-to-eye co-ordination, so can be instrumental in helping to stave off cerebral problems, but Libre office has absolutely no health-giving properties whatsoever.

At first I thought you were just being needlessly snarky. I must admit now that this is the most reasoned argument I've seen yet for not using LibreOffice.

This feature can be turned off. Go to the OneCloud systray icon - check settings - "Let OneDrive fetch all files on my computer"

I know.
But the reasoning behind it being on by default is...?

They're optimizing the user experience for customer service reps who'd otherwise have to help Joe "where's the anykey" Sixpack make it work. Or more likely Joe calling after drinking a sixpack to curse them out before going to a competitor instead.
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?

Did you really mean that, or did you mean "weighing..."? Maybe you are waging war on reason?
