13 in Chinese is read as "ten three". and for that matter, 23 is read as "two ten three"...and so on... but i really doubt this has an effect on learning calculus or even maths in general...
Someone or some company should probably make a phone that is circular in shape like a disc, and all the GUI so far (that runs on a squarish screen) will probably no longer apply.... or will it still?
Pascal? I certainly think that is a good programming language for learning purposes... at least back in the days when Java wasn't born yet... It's readable, non-cryptic...
I can still (vaguely) remember the keystrokes for search, indent, blocking (selecting), copying, pasting, etc... for WP5.1 on DOS.. That was the best word processor I have ever used... I have a difficult time doing indents in Word even today.... Sadly, WP's user base for it has shrunk since Windows took over DOS.... I missed the Reveal Codes badly.. That's the feature that no other word processing software is able to replicate...
I would say if it can "package some features" together into new options, it would be better. Eg, "top/bottom/left/right margins" into "narrow", "wide", "book"..., and double-clicking the top/bottom margin areas open up the header and footer edit.
ps: i love reveal codes too... but sadly, wordperfect is no longer popular nowadays...
Before Netscape, buttons were small. Netscape make it big, with icons and text in one button. Then IE followed the same, and few iterations later, text goes to the side, and few iterations later, text gone again. So, will IE get the ribbon? If MS is so adamant about ribbonizing, I expect IE to do the same.
probably not as much as you. Ribbon is good for newbies who has never used any office suites... For users used to the old way of doing things, as the saying goes, old habits die hard.. I am still figuring out where to find the function I need every time I need it... It doesn't come automatic to me.
People are just used to use the mouse to do all things... Only people like me (yeah, i am not young anymore) who have used Wordstar, WordPerfect, and all those programs in the old DOS days are more likely to still continue to use keystrokes combinations to do things...
and I seriously hate the Ribbon menu.. I believe the Button menu can do whatever the Ribbon does... don't understand why MS wants to change it...
I really think this is just GNU/Linux with a Chrome-like GUI slapped on it... And it looks so basic...
If Google can make it as comprehensive as "Aqua GUI + Mac OS X", and run on PCs and notebooks, not just netbooks, then it could potentially rival Windows and even OS X too...
It looks like virtual desktops in the form of tabs. Instead of putting a bunch of windows in deskop1 and another bunch in desktop2, now I put a bunch of windows in windows-tab1 and another bunch in windows-tab2. What am I missing?
have not really used the new versions of the s/w with ribbons, but from images, it seems to take up much real estate of the screen. i can't stand anything beyond the thickness of the 2 toolbars - the standard file menu toolbar and one more (using small icons, no text, or with text beside it).
isn't it just a modern/fancy lotus 123 style menu?

I am not a programmer/developer/UI designer. But to me, it seems like the new UI is just the horizontal equivalent of the vertical pull-down menu, with some sugar coating here and there. "Transpose" all those pull-downs and it more or less becomes a ribbon. It seems like the equivalent of the lotus 123 slash ("/") command, where pressing "/" brings you the horizontal menu.
yes, i am indeed frustrated. i hope firefox 2 will retain the 1.5 behaviour or at least give a choice (read: menus, not configuration options with meaningless numerical values until you read it up) for users to change easily. otherwise, i might consider staying with 1.5... i hate to change the way i use firefox.
What should the correct way to read/say "i.e."? Aye-Ee or 'that is'? I find it weird when people say Aye-Ee during a conversation when that want to further a point.
well, i am no programmer, but i find that the netscape/mozilla/firefox family doesn't have toolbars that are movable and allows me to rearrange to what i like. i need to stack 2 or more toolbars into a row, but i can't.... is this in the works for firefox 3?
It doesn't look like a typical Windows XP application. It's worse than a Windows 95 app. I think Novell needs to polish up on the interface, besides the functions, which I think is lacking too, compared to the real thing (I installed, played around abit, and uninstalled). Nothing is customizable. Can't change the size of buttons, can't drag the toolbar, etc...
Too minor a change to be posted here. Just a month minus one day ago, we received news of 1.5.0.3 http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/03/121720 0. Nevertheless, it's nice to see firefox patches released on a regular basis.
did i still see toolbars in outlook? and it was still the tube-based rounded ugly toolbar. why was ribbons not fully extended across all apps in office?

Maybe it is just me... But looking at the flattened UI, it reminds me of Windows 3.1... We are going full circle, aren't we?

Can't agree more.. Real CS jobs only exists in academia, defense science, R&D institutions that can afford PhDs... Anywhere else, it's called IT..

you are on windows? why not just use IE ?
windows phone is a silly name... i rather they call windows mobile
can i adjust the max width of my bookmark menu when i pull them out? can i fix the status bar permanently at the bottom?
why not spend time and money to do Ep 7,8,9? I know I know, it is supposed to only contain 6 episodes.. or was it?
I don't really like the FF4's GUI... maybe it's just me... I prefer FF3's or even Chrome's.

Talking about this.
What should the correct way to read/say "i.e."? Aye-Ee or 'that is'? I find it weird when people say Aye-Ee during a conversation when that want to further a point.
and what about "e.g.", Ee-gy or 'for example'?
