We know from painful experience that letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform. If developers grow dependent on third party development libraries and tools, they can only take advantage of platform enhancements if and when the third party chooses to adopt the new features. We cannot be at the mercy of a third party deciding if and when they will make our enhancements available to our developers.

This is important; Apple has already gone down this road once.

Metrowerks wrote a toolkit called PowerPlant. PowerPlant allowed you to develop rapidly and easily on the classic Mac OS. As such, this toolkit was very popular. Then two things happened: Metrowerks was bought by Motorola, and Apple tried to move to Mac OS X.

This did not go well.

PowerPlant was no longer a high priority for Metrowerks-in-Motorola, and so was updated slowly. This meant PowerPlant apps couldn't support things like Carbon Events, among other issues. Moreover, since PowerPlant wasn't building binaries that went to the expected libraries in the expected ways -- as things built with Apple's own tools did -- Apple had to move carefully to avoid breaking all of these existing apps. After all, if they made a change to the OS that broke PowerPlant apps, people weren't going to blame Metrowerks... they were going to blame Apple. It was an Apple update that broke things, right? In short, Apple became bound by a third-party developer's timeline and tools to determine what they could effectively do on their own OS. Moreover, app developers faced having to either rewrite their apps in pure Carbon (or Cocoa) or wait until Metrowerks would update PowerPlant, if they wanted access to new features.

(I strongly suspect that PowerPlant is the 'painful experience' Jobs is referring to in his open letter.)

If they came out with OS 5, and discovered it would break Flash apps, they'd have to go talk to Adobe and go 'okay, this needs to be fixed.' If Adobe can't fix it in their toolset... what does Apple do? Do they just release iPhone OS 5 and break the Flash apps? But people will complain that 'Apple broke my apps,' then. Do they wait for Adobe to fix things? That could take a while; Adobe's been promising Flash Player on Android for a while, to the point that the original 'early 2009' date has slipped to 'late 2010.' I can't imagine Apple wanting to wait on Adobe to update tools for a year or more before releasing their OS update, and if that seems extreme... you can find O'Reilly books on Carbon Events dating back to 2001, but PowerPlant didn't support Carbon Events until late 2004. This led to things like this developer topic.

Whether or not you agree with Apple's actions, given that history I can well see them wanting to avoid repeating that experience on the iPhone.

There is no GUI option to change the font size in Enlightenment but there is a way to change the font size; it involves editing config files. Although I should point out that Enlightenment puts a higher focus on having a light footprint than usability, it just doesn't seem to take it as far as Fluxbox does.

Arstechnica's JEREMY REIMER (a blatant FAKE) was caught red-handed alongside his friends impersonating me on his OSY website (to which his hosting provider removed large portions of his website for, lol, & his ISP nailed him for email harassing me, as well as making threats to my family no less, which got law enforcement involved in Canada (& Reimer stopped right there, lol)).

So much for your "edited" arstechnica posts that are not even myself (they like to impersonate others, because that's ALL they have)...

Anyhow - Here we go now, ready (as to your errors here):

That's the kind of crap you've been saying to me & I provide proof below... lol, you do not & have NOTHING LIKE THE LISTS I PROVIDE BELOW, to your credit)

NO, I never said I was - We'd both done paid work for a couple of the same companies @ the same time in the mid to late 1990's in this field & that how I know he, in addition to helping him find AND FIX problems in his applications, but I am not he, I am myself. One would think you'd realize that.

"PopOnTop Keyboard 1.05
Pop the keyboard on top at the click of a side button. Keyboard layouts from Qwerty to Dvorak, full screen or part, large keys or small, upright or sideways - even design your own!"

I bet there are better solutions but it is really hard to find "Dvorak" in mobile phone thanks to that guy named Dvorak.

That is the bonus of being able to install anything you like unlike some other device claims to be smart ;)

I guess the makers of this board are more with technical trends than Slashdot users.

Forcing new PCs to be Vista is a bad joke. It is still less secure than XP and all but a sellect few changes can be downloaded to XP for free.

Check out http://www.soft32.com/Download/Free/Windows_Vista_ Transformation_Pack/4-3720-1.html for a free Vista conversion kit that still leaves the more secure XP foundation.

With the growing move to Linux (i prefer Ubuntu) this might be just the push to increase the Linux base out there.

After all Microsoft OS'es are still to most insecure in the world. Maybe thats why over 60 countrys have past laws making it a felony in some to put a Microsoft PC on there secure government networks.

That said Linux is secure, has VERY FEW viruses and can do virtually everything the Microsft OS can do, and its FREE to boot.(sorry about the pun)

There is also the second costs to consider, software like Acrobat, Photoshop, MS Office, etc... can quickly run you int the thousands of dollars were the equivalants under Linux are FREE.

That said there are serious reasons to consider Linux as a replacement to Microsoft. Just follow the news feeds, Schools and even countrys are abandoning Microsoft over Linux almost every day now.

Linux is still far more secure than Microsoft, maybe that is why over 62 countrys have laws forbiding Microsoft OSes on their secure government networks, in some it is even a felony with manditory jail time of upto 7 years.

Not that many years ago, job hunters would be asked their proficancies in Windows, often being the deciding factor in getting hired.

I expect in the not too distant furure, the same questions regaurding Linux will or will not get you the job.

That said you should give Linux a serious try, you might be suprized.

How was this modded as insightful... That's right its Slashdot.

BASIC uses 1-based arrays, and horror or horrors, allows you to change that behavior. I could go on, but other people will probably cover this subject adequately.

Yes TWO VERSIONS AGO! VB.NET is zero based arrays:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb; en-us;311333
 
...but VB.NET to C# translators are a bit more problematic

http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/utilities/convert vbtocsharp.aspx
http://www.soft32.com/download_26228.html
http://www.shareup.com/VB.Net_to_C_Converter-downl oad-17930.html

Just three to get you started!

For example X=A(5) could refer to a function call, an array index, or a number of other possibilities, depending on what "A" is

Well not to mention that a professional programmer wouldn't right functions as 'A' or 'X', Option explicit on would not let you compile that if both X and A are not the same data type.

Don't bother with VB 6, it's going away.

Yeah, like FIVE YEARS AGO!

But you are right VB.net and C# are basically the same. Its all syntax. For myself, I read and write English so I prefer to code in English, not code for the compilers sake.

If you're bored at work, you may want to try Excel Tetris.

If you delve deeper into the Customize Talk site, you'll find a page that has instructions on how to fiddle with the interface of your Google Talk Client using a resource hacker.

Another option would be joining Google Talk Open asking if anyone has perhaps a cut and dry simple version of Google that does what you're asking.

Hope this helps you in your quest for the featureless talk client. I think GAIM can be configured to be pretty minimal but I don't think it gets stripped down as far as you seem to have in mind.

Mirrors of the 10.5meg patch are here, here, and here

If only it had a visual pager...

I see your list is pretty similar to mine. However, in place of MultiDesk, might I recommend Virtual Dimension. It's another virtual desktop manager for Windows. It includes the visual pager you desire, as well as adding the ability to set shortcuts for paging, making windows always-on-top, exist in all desktops, minimize to tray, make arbitrary windows transparent, etc. Combined with allSnap to give windows snap-to-edge behavior, I don't long for KDE quite as much on my Windows machine anymore. :-)
