Still used as a crutch by self-professed "web designers" and clueless recruiters of such.
Dreamweaver is a tool, not a skill; same as vim, Emacs, Notepad++, Eclipse, or any other editor.
When was the last time you heard a craftsman get praised for having a tool, rather than possessing true skill?
Other than the boasting "designer" with his masterful command of drag-and-drop but merely an apprentice's comprehension of what his tool produces for him, you never did.
There are Flash decompilers out there. They will either expose the text directly, or reveal any background HTTP requests that Flash makes to load the content.
She'll never give up her cushy "job" at Fox. Never put herself in the position where she needs to answer questions from the press, or debate anyone. Never compromise her sanitized "public" existence.
She is a circus side show, and all she cares about is getting paid.
Clearly, you don't get how the Bush Doctrine works.
Iraqi army invades Texas, decides to all but abandon that effort to occupy Canada for 8 years (not for the oil, ahem), then a strike force finally assassinates him in a villa outside Mexico City.
Before the Civil War, people referred to the US as a collective, "the United States are...". Afterward, there was a shift to the singular, "the United States is...".
And to exacerbate PNG adoption, there are two animated derivatives that aren't supported across all browsers. Mozilla supports their APNG, while everything else (except IE, of course) supports MNG. I'd sure like to make animations with alpha and have it be visible in all browsers (except IE, of course).
The problem for anyone who finds it "difficult" to use a piece of technology has nothing to do with the interface, but rather with their fear of the technology itself, or fear of "messing something up" or "not doing it right". It's a confidence issue, not comprehension.
If very small children can pick up a Nintendo DS or a LeapFrog device and use it with little instruction, then it stands to reason that, all things being equal, the elderly should be able to use a cell phone just as easily, if for no other reason than they learned how to read decades ago. Blaming the UI is absurd.
Unsavvy users already don't know what the URL bar is for, but that's no reason to hide it from them. Google should instead be doing users a favor by forcing them to pay attention to it when necessary.
If nothing else, the URL bar is one of the best security features a browser has, especially against phishing attacks and other URL tricks. However, if the user can't see it or doesn't understand it, then it is useless.

Notepad did change. They upped the file size limit beyond 64k at some point, right?

That is all.

Regardless, this is a damnably bone-headed move.
She'll never run.

How much Kool-Aid was consumed before this decision was made? Rich UI, check. Cross platform, you guys believed that?
He's a shitty writer. Ask anyone who read the last Indy script that Spielberg delivered to Lucas for review, before Lucas forced his input on it.
Or, just watch Eps 1-3.
Between two and six quarters from now. They'll let Nokia mostly bleed out before the "I don't want to go on the cart" scene happens.
There's also this little thing called the War Powers Act that mostly pushes Congress aside.
Only when the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs gets suckered into a 419 scam.

This. Relatedly, anything Israel does (with or without America) is just defending itself.
Ignorantly accepting what you are given is not the same as making a choice.
Visions which were conjured by others in the past.
They know how they got there... by hoodwinking IBM, then strong-arming all the x86 OEMs into monopolistic distribution agreements.
Ballmer is a cold, soulless marketing guy, and a lousy one at that. It shows in everything MS does.

Thereby making the TSA, by definition, terrorists.
You denigrated comic sans by the transitive property of bad. No hate from me.
Is this spam I smell.... on Slashdot????
You mean like HD-DVD vs BluRay?

Someone should write an Onion article about states banning/hampering municipal water systems because Coke and Pepsi demand it.

My advice: back down to Debian, or move forward to Mint.
Aye... but if they keep pushing their existing users away, no one will be left to enjoy the ravages of randy rabbit.
