    This guy looks like he couldn't reproduce unless test tubes were involved. Then there is this guy. Wolf!!! Then, look at these studmuffins here. Which one do you want has your wingman? I am not saying sex is impossible with any of these chaps (except maybe the second one) but it will take a lot of work. They have to put down the Linux sometime. In your case, Ubuntu is basically giving up on the whole hardcore linux crap for a social life. Just ask this playa.

    The faces of Microsoft aren't much to look at. But hey, they are rich and can buy all the tail they need!

    If this guy can sell these. He shouldn't have any trouble smooth talking a lady. This guy doesn't seem to have a problem. I say Mac users are a happy bunch.

    I would be remiss if I didn't mention the BSD folks. Their OS is "infirmed" but they got heart. Just look at their mascot. These guys are classy.

    Pah! What is this? We aren't just some "other people"--we're the smartest, most creative, fashionable, and beautiful people on the planet. Certainly we make butt-scratching troglodytes out of the average Win/IE user. In my humble estimation, then, we Mac users are more entitled than anyone to copyright protection. The Copyright Office should be ashamed.

    Ladies, Gentlemen,

    Only on /. can this get modded +2, Insightful. I want you to take a walk with me, out there to that 'real world' they all talk about.

    I'm with you that HTTP isn't the right tool for the job. I personally still loathe sending files around via email. But people don't care. And there's no reason they should have to. The Internet is about interoperation, remember? We might not like the implications, (I know I don't), but it still is the goal we all are trying to accomplish, for whatever reason. (I'm in it for the fame, the coke and the whores, of course, but YMMV. And BTW, I like that guy's propeller hat.)

    But, Ladies and Gentlemen, I digress.

    Let's take the OP's example of the photo gallery sites. Being a long-time web application programmer, I always wonder why you have to jump through hoops to let people upload folders and folders of stuff (and to display an accurate progress bar). Yes, I know how to do it and we use self-written PHP classes for that. That's not the point. The point is that there is no point in forcing people to use (or worse, install) another piece of software just because the stupid shits who write those browsers just won't implement *basic* file selection dialogs. I mean in Windows you have a fully capable file browser (copy, rename, delete, etc.) on any open dialog except for that of the Web browser. WTF? It's trivial to implement what to do with the input of such a file open dialog, yet it's not done. Maybe it's just too hard to code up a HTTP upload for more than one file. You can do it with a few lines of PHP, but maybe it's impossible to code up in C++ or whatever people use these days, what do I know.

    Maybe I'm just putting in that sarcasm because just today I once again had to explain to a client why people just can't upload a bunch of point-of-sale material using "the normal Windows file open thingy" but have to disable the pop-up blocking for our site so that our 'faked' upload dialog could appear. Because, of course, our 'dialog' should not be in the browser window, but "just like any other open thingy in Windows". It went like this:


    (Curtain opens. Loud Circus Clown music. An ape wearing a fez drives around the conference room in a miniature formula one car.)

    "We want a Windows-like file open dialog in a new window"
    - "Okay, disable pop-up blocking just for the site then"
    - "No, why?"
    - "Because we have to open a *new* *window* from the *browser*."
    - "No, we won't." (Blank stare.)
    - "Okay, we'll have to hack something up that fools your pop-up blocker then."
    - "No, you won't, it violates this security policy here that says that none of our IT security countermeasures are allowed to be circumvented. Pop-up blocking is a vital part of our IT security strategy."

    (Narrator: Which explicitly and per policy allows sending .EXE and .PIF files via email which, as you assume correctly, also bypass the AV scan on the mail server by policy because some executive couldn't get some file transferred. We are talking about a major automotive company.)

    - "Then we have to do it in the browser window. The users don't care and we can design it to nicely fit into the web corporate identity guidelines which enforces your brand in the user's minds."

    (Narrator: This usually works. "Getting the brand enforced", preferably "in the target demography", is one of the remaining silver bullets if you work in advertising. That'll sell about anything. Usually.)

    - "No, we want a window."

    (Curtain closes. The ape crashes out of the window, burning. Music stops.)
