Geez, man. Lighten up. It's just some guy doing something he thought was cool. It's not a directive from Bill to seize the net.culture as MS's own. Just a friendly guy named Mike. Doing something cool. It's fun. Smile.
I wouldn't trust any UI designed by OS programmers in the hands of people who were confused by butterfly ballots. I can just imagine the utter disaster brought about by a goldenrod-on-magenta voting system written in Tk.
I want to see fights and green women with three breasts and I want to see a member of the crew get iced just because it's Wednesday. And I want to see dialog that doesn't sound like a freshman ethics class.
Right, but next time it's about Microsoft opening the Windows source.
I took the plunge a few years ago and now read it every day and enjoy doing that very much. It's not like they need your personal information. If you're paranoid, just lie.
That's why I'm so completely disappointed with Enterprise. It seems to be Voyager with darker sets. They have an amazing opportunity, and they seem to be blowing it. Even the time travel thing is stupid: why rely of plot gimmicks from the future when you have a world of opportunity available in your basic premise.
Well, it comes down to the fact that Quark is really good at what it does. The interface is fast and simple (particularly in 4.0). Most importantly, it's familiar.
Sure, I know Photoshop well. And sure, InDesign is similar to Photoshop. But that's not the point. Pressing cmd-H makes sense to hide the text boxes, but I'm used to pressing F7. It's rather like someone trying to transition you to tcsh from bash. They have largely the same commands and you're familiar with C, so the transition shouldn't be very difficult, right?
I don't care about the output format. I can always get things to someone in some form that they can read, I care about the tools.
I've been using QuarkXPress for more than eight years. I know it like the back of my hand. I find it comfortable and powerful and can produce lots of work very, very quickly in XPress. I don't want to have to learn new software (InDesign) that I find to be different enough to be annoying. I can do it, I just don't want to. I probably will, though, and it's annoying.
Yea. The problem is that XPress 5 was so awful and late that whatever they come up with next will be even less exciting, I'm sure. I really fear for the future of my favorite program. I just went out and got a copy of InDesign to get the hang of it because I fear it's the future. Awful as that is.
Wow -- I totally forgot about that. I first used JPEGview on my old PowerBook 140, then when I got a Duo 2300c, it was crazy thousands of colors of porn. I should send him a postcard, too.
Then you were told incorrectly. From the American Heritage dictionary:
"Thus; so. Used to indicate that a quoted passage, especially one containing an error or unconventional spelling, has been retained in its original form or written intentionally."
I've seen it used (and used it myself) most often to denote peculiar grammar or the use of a word that doesn't exist (most G.W.B. quotes seem to call for its use.)

What about using it for illegal activities? Does the university incur a liability for that?
Eh?
But chaste geniuses abound.
Are you sure it's Jim Showalter? I remember with some vividness an old CMU crusty hacker sort named Tim Showalter. Finger information follows:

Geez, Jason, did you have to post the link that included his SMS address? Or the address of his house? Poor guy. Just trying to run SCS.
Nice guy, that Dr. Morris.

Right on, you bad-ass motherfucker.

Or you could register for the damned thing. It's not like it's difficult.
Hey man. I NEED at least five hours a day of mid-'90s SNL reruns. I NEED them.
Think of the children!
At least the OSDN banner link is really tasteful.

Oy vey, those are some really thin spades on that connector. Aye yay yay.

Yep. I take it everywhere I go. For the really fancy parties, I take my SCSI MicroDock. The girls are all over me when I pull that one out.
Wow -- I totally forgot about that. I first used JPEGview on my old PowerBook 140, then when I got a Duo 2300c, it was crazy thousands of colors of porn. I should send him a postcard, too.
Or a serial cable.
Alternatively, you could simply use a Newer EtherDock (good luck finding one, you can't have mine!) and treat it like any other Mac running Mac OS 9.
And of course, there's the 2300c, which is a Duo with a 603e processor. But you can't be expected to be right all the time. God knows I'm not.
I'm English, so it's okay.
How about maple frog? I've herd that one for Quebecois (sp?) before. I rather like it.
