When I was saying "those kind of keyboards", I was referring to the ones with the nubs on the D and the K. The way you replying to my post obnoxiously, you knew exactly what I was saying. I was trying to be helpful, you don't need to be a jerk.
Way to kick someone in the nuts after they went to the work to find an image on google for you so you could see what the keyboards looked like. Please, click the link. Does the image of the keyboard I posted a link to look like a Macbook Pro keyboard? I'm pretty sure they keyboard in the image isn't even a laptop keyboard.
Don't switch unless you feel interested in learning different and want to try to keep you brain fresh. There is no other reason to go though the aggravation.
Now personally, I find my biggest pet peeve is how the bumps on a PC keyboards are not on the D and K keys like they were on my Mac. When I am typing in a dark room, I want to search for the home row with my longest fingers. It causes horrible wrist strain trying to search with your pointer fingers for F and J. It boggles my mind who come up with that. It definitely wasn't a touch typist.
And then of course there is the minor problem with how laptop keyboards have absolutely no spacing for sections of the keyboard... Oh the woe of being a midnight typist!
When you're used to Windows, Mac text looks blurry; when you're used to the Mac, I imagine Windows text looks thin and lanky.
You hit the nail on the head. When using a Mac for a while, Windows fonts start to look like they are not antialiased at all. I actually have to turn cleartype off ot make sure it is actually making a difference.
It took me more than 3 years to really start warming up to linux. The command line isn't as powerful as it could be until you realize how you can string things together in shell scripts and really start taking advantage of it.
Under MacOS I have to push the F9, watch the pretty expose animation look around the screen, and then click on the app I want. Every time I push F9 apps are in a different spot. Under Ubuntu I just click on the item in the taskbar which is always on the screen and the task is always in the same spot (unless I reorder it by dragging it to a different spot in the taskbar). In MacOS I can cut and paste files to move them to a new folder. I can't set keyboard shortcuts to change songs in iTunes, I have to use the little remote control (which I've lost). etc, etc.
Yes, there was life before expose appeared on the Mac. I never use expose on Macs because there are other options that I have grown familiar with that work better for me because I am more organized. When you discover option-click, your life changes. Option click outside of an application window to hide it. Option click in the doc to hide current application as you go to the next one. It works insanely well, but most people like to exclusively rely on expose, or quibble about how they don't like expose.
People complain about a lock of options on Mac OS X when they haven't even explored the options they currently have. Many times options that Windows and Linux don't have.
Perhaps the government should mandate that the TSA has to catch a certain number of terrorists a month or face losing their jobs? You know, like how speeding tickets etc work? That would make them work harder than these machines will.
Print to PDF should be a OS level feature, not a program feature. But since Windows doesn't have that as OS level like Mac OS X and linux, it's a major feature having it in Open Office on Windows. I use it all the time with Firefox for keeping receipts.
There are 2 types of problematic drivers on the rode. The people who don't know what they doing and the people who expect everyone to do exactly what they are supposed to. I don't know about you guys, but I make sure the other people stop before whizzing through my green light. I wait for other people to stop before taking my turn a a four way stop.
Expectations are way too high. People can't to act like perfect robots 100% of the time. Life just doesn't work that way... and that is ignoring that there are always exceptional circumstances that may pop up.
Please God no. It already getting on a airplane with an artificial leg. Normal people complain, but the people in wheelchairs have to have their dignity violated every single time.
Will have to give them to the TSA before entering the plane who will in turn give them to the stewardess who will keep an eye on them for the whole flight. Yes, we must give people with artificial appendages as little dignity as possible.
Do people drag things between browser windows? Yes, that is targeted at all the morons who have no idea what drag and drop is...granted nautilus's spacial implementation never impressed me. It would be lovely if the people who hate spacial could learn how to use more than one hand at a time and learn to use metaphor to their advantage. There is so much more you can when using two hands that it is ridiculous.
So you're saying a temporary nullification of one persons rights is worth a permanent nullification of another's? If you are picturing prison as a man-built hell as I think you are, you are also saying that a man getting raped in prison over and over is not the same as a woman getting raped once.
You are no better than he is if that is what you are condoning.
The point, my good friend, is that the US complains about how women in some Islamic countries are forced to have most of their body covered, but the same asinine Americans don't realize that some Tribal people would think the same thing how we jail people for indecent exposure. By stating what another culture does as evil, does not open them up to new thoughts or ideas, and we reflect badly on our own culture.
Everything American is not 100% holy and good. Everything not American is now 100% evil and bad. It's no different than a damn Mac zealot trying to get Windows users to switch computers. They close their ears after hearing so much ego-centrism.
Some games can be used at training simulators, instead of forcing you to lose golf balls or forcing other people to go after miss-thrown frisbees.
Not everyday is a sunny warm day. It could be raining, winter, etc.
Some people don't have the health to.
Some people like the tactile feel and required body dexterity compared to thumb games.
There are other types of games.
These is such a thing as matter of preference.
In other words, under any of this situations you would come off as a jack-ass if you said just what you wrote. There is no holy grail way to play games.
They buy computers to run apps. You can argue all you want that Mac OS X is more elegant than Windows, or whatever -- but if you couldn't get a word processor for it, nobody would use it.
I find that argument a bit depressing nowadays. How most people repeat that it is seriously starting to sound like they just keep repeating, "You are not Windows. Give up already." If someone wants a specific program made by a specific company, there is only so much you can do. There is only one Microsoft Word. Is that reason enough to give up on development of Linux? There is only one blue E for getting on the internet. There is only one iPhoto. There is only one iMovie.
Linux has a lot apps. What it is missing are "killer apps" IMHO that you can't get elseware.
You forget you also lose space because you can't overlap windows. You can't win, mwah ah ha. In my opinion, a setup where the window doesn't move forward automatically when clicked and has sloppy focus is the best. The flexibility is phenomenal.
I would mod you up if I had mod points. The concept is just complicated enough in small design details for Windows to not usually understand. The old Windows spacial design was absolutely HORRIBLE for Windows Explorer. Outside of the old Mac OS's I have never seen a good implementation of it in my opinion.
Make biased comments based on window managers designs from lack of experience with others (check)
Have you experience reflect the majority of people (check)
Under estimate the power of "zoom to fit"
Maximize is a one size fits all tool, but it doesn't make it the best tool for the job. Zoom to fit will maximize as appropriate to content size anyway. Because of lack of "zoom to fit", most window managers are absolute CRAP for managing maximized windows.
Polar example bad. The only other program that mostly fits into the same category is Windows Media Player. The others are stripped down very basic utilities. Internet Explorer and WMP are not stripped down in any shape or form.
The other issue is that both programs have a much larger impact than the other ones you described. There are very real reasons to look into. Zero revenue is outside of the scope of the problem now.

That is because those kind of keyboards are mostly a relic of the ADB era of Mac peripherals. Here is an example of one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/30/Apple_Macintosh_ADB_Keyboard.jpg

I for one believe we already have enough hospitals. Building them on Saturn would bring no new inherent value.

I also believe the documentary kept stating 88MPH was paramount for crossing the ravine of popularity.

Previously, only the $399 Ultimate edition of Vista could legally be run in a virtual machine. I don't think that is all that different.

Mac OS X has exceptions for specific apps. They generally tend to try to make default behavior for the button make the most sense on a per-application basis. http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/18/tuaw-tip-option-clicking-the-green-button/
