IIRC, you still need to install a classic start menu applet (3rd party), and if you want quicklaunch, you still need to install an app for that...
They exist, and you have options, but the options don't seem as good as the builtins for XP, and most users aren't going to bother going out and downloading them.
True, but MS cannot sustain an 'every other version is a flub' business model. People may stick with 7 like they stuck with XP, but MS will need to fix the UI and quickly.
Hopefully they'll soon realize that the desktop and mobile platforms need different UI models, and start supporting the separate primary interface models...
I like some Microsoft products, but honestly, if they ditch Windows, and move their products to.NET... then ensure the.NET platform runs on Apple, Linux and a few other platforms (not terribly hard, since the tech is mostly there anyway), I think they might see some improvement.
TBH... I like what Windows was for a short time, in the 2000-XP era, when most of the security holes had been patched, and 7 is OK... but they are majorly ruining the UI. They are trying to be clever, edgy and push the envelope... but doing so in a manner that copies Apple, and tries to go one step further. So they not only lose the 'clever' appearance, for a copycat appearance, but they are copying some of the worst changes for the desktop environment, that Apple is making.
Then again... except for businesses, and a relatively small number of hobbyists, the desktop will be mostly eliminated in the next 5-10 years. So... Windows dieing on the desktop may not be such a big thing for MS. The people who will keep it, are probably the least likely to use Windows (except businesses). The desktop is for creating, most users are simply are fine with consuming, and they'll move to portable platforms which make that easier. Even the portable platforms are starting to be good with producing - particularly multimedia which doesn't require much typing. MS has the possibility to catch-up on the portable side, but it's isn't likely, even though they have a great mobile product, that market is fairly strongly set with other good/great products, and it will be a hard battle, one MS's prodigally inept PR department can only lose.
yeah, the oogling is obviously a troll. I was more commenting on some of the other things.
As for it being a ported Windows stack - I don't care too much about that, as long as it's done in an efficient manner (and I have to give hats off to the Mono team on that one). If it runs, and runs well on Windows, FreeBSD, Linux and Mac, that's all I care about.
My suspicion is it's something slightly more integrated, like you can see with a CLI interpereter in Python or Lisp. Particularly the latter, where you just code, and when you are done, you have have it save the most recent version of ever function into a file.
Heh. That is most certainly not the product most people would go for. And honestly, I'd just as soon go with Professional or Express & use Mercurial to make up the difference.
Ultimate has features you only need if you are in a huge corporation/project setting
Which, I admit, is a bit high for most, but if you don't need a lot of the code sharing or installer building tools, (and why should you, there's Mercurial for the former, and the latter isn't so hard to roll your own), you can always go for the Express edition, which is free/
You must have closed your eyes and plugged your ears at the shotgun. I admit it was pretty gruesome. However, after wards they brought out the chainsaw, boiling acid and a couple of fighter jets for good measure... It was horrible.
The sad thing is... They already did that once before to get to the UI that was in 2010... The UI does seem to be getting worse and worse... Just like with their OS and Office products (and it seems, many others to a lesser degree).
From my understanding, I thought that was exactly the purpose of #pragma - nonstandard stuff.
As for windows-only stacks... That's BS, at least for.NET.
However, yeah, the compiler is stuck to Windows, and their C++ interpretation (not including pragmas, which are for non-standards), is... at best "wonky"
OK, in Eclipse, how do I code & run at the same time.
I can alter things in the debugger and push them back to the live application, but I can do that in VS too. This is reading more like Python/Lisp, where you can edit as you run, and (as with some of their IDEs) the code gets saved to source files for later use.
I'm thinking more like the Python interpereter, but with your code being stored in your source files automatically. You can then open the files and add breakpoints as you like. If a function isn't defined, it'll request you build it on call.
Note: for particularly lazy programmers, this could add more issues, especially with functions that are only called on rare cases.
It'll be a nice feature I'm sure. I just think the suggestion of the TFS, as if it is something revolutionary... is a few decades out of date.
OK. I've yet to find a better overall environment (though Eclipse + Java beats VS in some aspects of debugging, neither seems better at every aspect). However, I don't see the point of your post. In reality "care" would have been implementing this YEARS ago. I mean, I've used Python for a long time, and all I can think is "I have this in Python. WTF is novel or research about this? Just %$#@ing do it.
Since when is "works correctly 99% of the time" good enough for an authentication system?
And how often do you mistype your password? I doubt many get their password right even 90% of the time unless they have rather bad passwords.
Also, there's false positive vs. false negative. False negatives aren't so bad (especially at 1%, when retries are possible). False positives are what are really of concern.
I'm more worried about them realizing I'm not human, from my brain waves. I don't want to go back to my homeworld!
Also, how much testing did they do to ensure there aren't issues with emotional state or distraction? If I had a family even and was stuck listening to Beyonce or Katy Perry thanks to my sister's atrocious taste in "music"... Is having that crap stuck in my head going to prevent a login?
sure, but at least that makes it more difficult. However, for the unfortunate souls that are using blink-tag enabled browsers... blink was much easier for me to use. Suckers.
It'd be like Pepsi complaining that Coke were trying to use a Trojan Horse to dominate the market, if Coke gave away free drinks, and also made the recipe freely available.
Sure it might give them market share, but given the 'free recipe' bit... kinda hard to dominate the market and keep others from using it to do the same thing.
usually too much radiation just makes things sick, lethargic and dead.
CO2 doesn't suffocate stuff, lack of oxygen, and CO will suffocate. Anyway, in the water, CO2 turns into carbonic acid, which becomes carbonates and bicarbonates, if I remember correctly.
O2 binds to hemoglobin stronger than CO2, so with enough O2, CO2 isn't a problem, though it may cause discomfort since your body detects it's presence, rather than the lack of oxygen. CO however, binds to heme more strongly than O2, so it is an issue.

It is expensive as a hobby if you can get Express for free and don't need the features of Pro.
Pro is nice. I have it. But only because there are a couple plugins that don't work well with Express, and I really wanted them.
I didn't say pro was the only option. Express is free and works just as well.
It's called a Site License. And technically, when you leave the company, you are supposed to remove the software (not that anyone does).
Oh, and I'll take VS 2010 express (free, as in beer) over 2005 pro...
Have you eaten duck? I wouldn't describe it as delicious.... They make better decorations than food.

SSssshh! They're going to take Fox off the air and we don't have to do anything
But Fox had some good shows.. oh, wait, they kill those before finishing even one season.

You've seen a reality show with a plot?
I think the only one I managed to sit through an episode of was "Who Wants to be a Superhero". And only then because they knew they were a joke.
