comment Are age verification banners effective?
While I agree with most of the answers that this approach is not likely effective against children with the intent to find forbidden webpages. I would think that it would be a deterrent against younger children who accidentally land on an adults only page.

This may be true but your answer would be more useful with some evidence to support it.

comment Should both bold and italics be allowed in electronic flashcards?
+1 but the convention is to italicize the genus name as well as the specific epithet in a species name.

comment Should UX design consider how things behave when they are broken?
@MonicaCellio thanks for your comments, I don't see them as critical. I think that your comment gets at the idea - on one hand one could say that by having a standardized keyboard layout, the failure of the paint was already considered but clearly in your case this was not true and the UX design failed to properly account for that.

comment Should UX design consider how things behave when they are broken?
@MonicaCellio I wasn't really trying to create a yes/no question - I guess I felt like implicit in my question was the idea that you cannot anticipate all changes in user experience so how does one accomplish this. However now that I re-read what I wrote it could be read as read as yes/no.

I am not sure what the best tags for this question would be, so please feel free to add tags that may be appropriate.

comment Preventing a user from pasting from the clipboard into a mandatory form field
That behavior seems doubly frustrating because it has no explanation and now I have to delete whatever got pasted before I can enter the email address.

comment Why did scrolling vertically became a pattern?
I am not sure I follow your cli example. On the terminal the old material is up not down like on the web.
