Quote: I read that NASA detected methane in the atmosphere of Mars. Only an organic life form can produce methane.
Seems odd, as most planets and moons in our solar system that have atmospheres, have some methane in their atmosphere.

Really?  Since the info came from NASA, I didn't question it. I believe I understood them correctly, but now I'm sure it's incorrect.
You're right, methane does exist in the atmosphere of other planets that are inhospitable to supporting life. Just for reference, here's an article from a reputable source confirming your statement: NASA’s Webb Identifies Methane In an Exoplanet’s Atmosphere[^]
This has sparked my curiosity, so I will dig around to figure this out. I could have sworn that the gas that NASA was referring to was methane. As to why they stated that for methane to exist in an atmosphere, it must be produced exclusively by living organisms. That's a mystery as well. That's obviously incorrect. This is going to drive me nuts.
If I find out the truth, I'll definitely post it to this thread. One thing that I am sure of is that NASA is extremely conservative on speculations that life may have existed on Mars at one point. If they did find an indication that proves there was once life on Mars, they wouldn't acknowledge it until they had irrefutable evidence to base their assertion upon.
Thanks for that reply.

I don't know if it's the greatest song ever, but Brad Delp (RIP) certainly had a great voice.

He had quite a voice. Too bad he did himself in.

If you're going to mess with Notepad, why not add adjustable tab-stops?! That would be useful.
And maybe a recent file list -- why didn't you add that?
(I just began using a Windows 11 laptop.)

I actually like Win11's Notepad. It's quick and useful for ya know... taking down quick notes. It's not meant to be a programming tool.
What do you hate about it so much... given the fact it's meant to be quick and dirty for taking notes?
The theme? Tabs? It doing a soft close like Sublime? Notepad pee in your cheerios or something?

Tabs mostly, but now that I know about them, maybe I can get out of the habit of using the X in the upper-right corner -- which has been the way to do it for decades!
Oh, you dirty dogs! So now I see how to switch from "Continue previous session" to "Start new session and discard unsaved changes". 
A text editor does not have "sessions", dagnabit!
I see nothing useful added. Adding useful stuff would be worthwhile.
And I still need to find out how to have proper square corners on windows.

Ah, I forgot to address that. Yes, quick, dirty, notes -- all day long. So features which enhance that -- such as adjustable tab-stops have been needed from the very beginning. Even a VT100 doesn't enforce eight-space TAB stops!
Anyway, other than simple notes, I also use Notepad for XML, HTML, and simple C# utilities -- and the existing TAB functionality hinders all off that. Not a big deal, but irksome when I naturally hit TAB. And read-me files too.

Again, Notepad isn’t designed for devs. So, pay a few bucks and start using Sublime. Don’t know why devs are so cheap when it comes to software. Yeah, tab alignment is whack in Notepad, but no need to get worked up over it. Nobody shot your dog man.

It's just a nice-to-have, been using forever, and wrote my own editor which has features probably no one else wants.
Just irked that they keep adding useless crap and don't address something which would be useful.

You don't need a recent file list if you use the jump list on the taskbar icon.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|
|
|
|
Which I don't. I don't particularly want a recent file list either, but it would make more sense than the changes which were made.

Just wait 'til you see the new cmd.
