Open Office would be a better product if they used the same UI.
I don't think it's possible because Microsoft has some patents on it, however I'd rather not. Not because I think the ribbon design is bad but because I'd like to see Open Office innovate and come out with something better like firefox did for tabbed browsing.
Since you have some experience could you then answer me this. How do I set it up so that I can add chapters with the chapter title in the top right like a normal book? I can set it up so that the header has a title in the top right however it would be the same for every page in the whole document.
I have no idea what your response is going on about however so far you haven't pointed out anything interesting. I'm not saying PHP is great but the example you gave "@" is not a major language switching issue.
Either way it matters not. You are in the minority. People who are using PHP aren't going to switch because of your weak arguments. This article just proves that.
I suggest to look at newer versions of PHP because your information is outdated.
PHP has try {} catch (){} blocks so I don't know why you, the GP and the GGP think that @ (used to suppress error messages) is the PHP equivalent.
Also PHP isn't a language for "toy websites". Facebook with its daily 152 million users isn't a toy website. Also MVC isn't restricted to Ruby on Rails, there are plenty of PHP apps that use it too.
I'm looking at this map you've linked to however I can't determine how they came up it. It's just random countries with a paragraph about how tourists like to visit the places.
It could be for lots of reasons. Two in particular are:
1 - Most distribution maintainers compile their packages with the -O2 option instead of -O3 for debugging purposes. 2 - The windows builds might have "profile guided optimization" enabled. Again something typically not done on the standard distributions.
Since more and more things are going to use Canvas it doesn't matter how IE8 gets supported,
correct
just that it does since its the most common browser out there, and how it performs in those cases.
Incorrect. IE8 isn't the most common browser in any graph I have seen however that is irrelevant (see below).
You're an idiot if you write IE as a web developer
I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here. Either way not writing a site specifically for IE doesn't mean you're disconnected from the real world. There are lots of reasons not to.
If none of your visitors use IE then it's not a priority to support it. If you're doing a demo showing off the canvas tag in HTML 5 then not supporting IE8 isn't going to bother anyone.
Your biggest problem is that you have fallen into the trap of thinking worldwide usage == my website's statistics. Worldwide common browser usage means nothing if 90% of your users are on chrome or Firefox. You sound like an amateur for not mentioning the basics such as target market, user requirements or even analysis of usage statistics of an existing website.
Yes, you can host your code on http://www.launchpad.net/ which is based in the UK and avoid sourceforge's horribly slow, badly designed site entirely. It was great back in the day but now the site is annoying and gets in the way of actually managing your project in favor of serving up adverts to you. Do a little test now. Go to any project on sourceforge and notice how much screen space is wasted by adverts and nonsense.
If enough people switch over then we as a global community can get rid of sourceforge which is bound by stupid copyright and patent laws. I'd like to see a company try and get Canonical to take down a project on launchpad due to a patent, ain't gonna happen.
Being at an airport is no excuse for using inappropriate language.
You seemed to not have even read the summary. Could I suggest reading the part about the guy making a joke on twitter. Could I also suggest reading the twitter comment he made about said Airport being closed.
I assume you're the AC that posted this above (redundant much?). After reading these IRC logs I've come to the conclusion that they're right.
They submit patches for the libraries they've bundled. If upstream or downstream aren't going to apply the patches because they're not worthy enough then they're just going to have to bundle them in the app. If it's a choice between the app not working and the app working then what you expect them to do? They even made this pretty clear on page 3 of that IRC log.
Thinking about it you're probably also paying for the fact that the part works EXACTLY to a certain tolerance and won't be replaced by something different as well.
If we're going with the example given above by the GGGP then its exactly the same part which makes that irrelevant.
The simple fact is people will justify anything to make themselves feel like they're not being ripped off. Just look at bottled water as a simple example. People come up with all sorts of excuses as to why they think it's better then tap water then someone like penn & teller come along with their "Bullshit!" show and rip all the excuses to shreds.
I don't buy the whole insurance nonsense either when it comes to common parts which can be bought anywhere. When it comes to paying, companies will be the first in line trying to claim it wasn't their fault. Trying to claim money back would probably cost you more in legal fees then you'd get back.. There's always an exception however it's simple to see that most of the time you're probably being ripped off.
Then you go talk to the boss who doesn't care about what you're saying. He then tells you to stop creating problems and do your job fixing the damn computer.
Besides, we've sold guns and weapons and still do to some of the filthiest govts in the world, some which still practice racial purity and apartheid, we have no morals in this country in this matter.
So does China, but that's not important. What's important is your assumption that just because the US government touches on moral issues that it gives the Chinese government a free pass to violate numerous human rights abuses. Your reasoning is simply childish.
I get so much spam from mail.ru . Both in my inbox, on my forum signups and wordpress blog. Getting an account there would get you instantly ignored to me and possibly others too.
Jewelry industry veterans in China say cadmium has been used in domestic products there for years.
So what? If it's an extremely dangerous material it doesn't matter how long you've been using it.
Also one has to wonder if the only reason they've been using it in the Jewelry industry is because they pawn it off to suckers as gold. I wouldn't be happy either if my meal ticket for ripping people off and killing them before they could sue me was taken away.
Signing is already done. Both on the android and in Ubuntu's repositories. There's no practical way you could put the effort up front to check an app is clean.
The problem I found with second life is that it's restrictive in ways that make it boring and it gives you so much freedom is areas where having it dilutes the experience.
For an example say you want a built up city district with tall skyscrapers. The feeling of height is ruined by the fact that you can just fly around. Say you want to be in a completely different environment such as a forest with nothing but pine trees for miles. You can't get that because everything in second life is a tropical beach.
I know there are hacks around these situations but even those aren't effective to heighten the experience imo.
Another problem I have with SL is the building tools. If you want to make something pretty complicated then you only have basic shapes. If there was a way to merge these shapes and get rid of the verts you don't need then SL would be so much better. Instead you have to wait for it to load thousands of squares, spheres and triangles. For example to make a mobile phone I had to use 50 different shapes to get the correct shape I wanted. If I could add/edit/delete verts then I could have made one shape with 40 verts max rather then something that uses 400 (50 shapes * 8 verts for a cube obj).
Lastly the world doesn't feel expansive enough. You can only see as far a the next few land blocks then nothing. I want to be able to see huge towers in the distance. It's not difficult to do this. Make some auto generated sky boxes for each of the land blocks.
The problem is that all these problems are to do with Linden's strategy of trying to pack as many features into the client as possible and never improving the basic core components.

You get to use bit torrent without NAT problems. That seems like a big selling point to me.
On the wired article they reference the image "[Photo: NASA]". They could have done a better job by providing a link to said page though.

no shit! After you get taken in by the police I'd turn off public tweets too.

Indeed that huge market of poor farmers getting their faces stomped on daily by the red army is going to cost Google dearly.
I tried looking for one but they're all censored.

NAT doesn't do that. A firewall does. You just simply don't understand the difference.
