Beer used to be the staple source of water for people, adults and children alike. The fermentation process purified the water and made it safer than drinking the regular water supply.
However, beer of that time was more like a fruit drink, it was the introduction of hops to Europe that saw the alchohol content rise. What was called beer before hops was renamed "little beer" and the new alcoholic beers were dubbed "big beers".
So beer had kept us alive for so long, it is sad that now it slowly kills so many of us. Life giver turned brain pickler.
I prefer an application-centric environment rather than a data-driven one. But then again I know that the majority of my files will be plain text. The file type in Windows afaik maps a "what application to open this file type with". The application itself then tries to open the file and determine its file type from the contents. If I have a jpg called just Image with no extension then most applications I know will open it just fine. Even if it was called Image.doc!
My prefered working environment (plan9) uses text matching for its form of file association in the plumber but the rules aren't based on the file name alone. Thus the information on what to do with the file isn't even part of the OS itself, it's just an application. Filenames aren't special and even back in the days of DOS not all applications used 8.3 (ask anyone that used WordPerfect in the days of text mode). MS hijacking the generic.doc is still a real bugger for non-Office users!
For instance, let's say my the web server I am working on is called "freddy". I will mount the remote file system into my own via srvssh (could be any unixy OS like BSD or Linux - this example is OpenBSD). I will be running tail -f/n/freddy/var/logs/httpd where any php errors go. e.g.:
[Tue Apr 19 18:47:10 2005] [error] PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';', expecting ')' in/php/pg_db.class on line 7
My httpd is chrooted hence the/php I use this rule to configure the plumber such that should it be sent the above string it will open pg_db.class from the remote server for editing in my local text $editor (in this case Acme) and line number 7 will be highlighted
type is text data matches '/(php/.*\.(class|inc|php)) on line ([0-9]+)' arg isfile/n/freddy/var/www/$1 data set/n/freddy/var/www/$1 attr add addr=$3 plumb to edit plumb client window $editor
In this way one can have a rich set of rules and they are malleable. I can write new rules to the plumber that will only survive this logged-in session, indeed I can have a different plumber for each process group if I felt like it.
So I can send the produced HTML from http://freddy/test1.php for inspection in the editor and yet have http://slashdot.org open a browser window in my remote X session, whereas other systems I have used (like say Outlook's URI highlighting system) would force me to only have "open in the default browser" as an option for any URI's encountered. In my world the URI's in this paragraph can start actions whereas if you were reading this in vanilla Firefox they remain plain text.

I use the GIMP daily for basic editing and as much as it is pushed it really isn't up to snuff against PhotoShop for the breadth of tools and effects. I use it these days because I want to support Free tools and if I find myself away from home I want to know my tools are a simple download away without being a pirate or bugged by shareware nags.
That said Gimp 2.2 is MUCH improved. However, the multi windows is a real turn off for regular Windows users. In X I just dedicate a virtual desktop to it. My Dad can cope with many things if he plugs away at it but using Gimp is just too much effort for him.
Turning people from their pirated Photoshop 7 to Gimp is a Herculean task.
You forget that they don't write most of their stuff from scratch

In .au they are monikered "septic tanks", or just plain "septics"
How can a perfectly acceptable use of BSD code (BSD code in non-OSS projects) be abuse ?
The BSD goal is good code, not open code.
a colleague IMs you a code snippet

there's also the caveat :

lol, that 3 letter namespace will run out eventually
besides, file associations are another piece of braindead in-band signalling
*and* they begat funnypicture.jpg.bat
all very amusing

grr haha me idiot
32 > bits < 64 !
er, no. Inelastic demand is when sales remain static as the price changes.
Thanks for playing =)
We aren't talking quantum leaps in computing, and that's the problem.
Lol, you should go find out what a quantum leap actually is.
The jump from 32 bit to 64 bit Windows is precisely a quantum leap.
Unless you can show me the (infinite number of) versions of Windows that have 32 > bits 64 !
There is another way : increase the perceived value and therefore retail price of the products you are trying to sell.
The demand for movies, like music, seems to be quite inelastic. Hence the price differential across the economic regions.
oh, I am sorry. I thought you were coherent.
they all have more than 2 letters
I can guarantee anything you want.
repeat after me : protocols cannot be patented / copyrighted

"User-friendly" and "secure" mostly don't go together.
That depends on the users. This isn't Linux, there are rules.
When I visited ntl: Nottingham headquarters a few years ago they were an all NT shop, mail servers, web servers the lot
Their DNS is crap and they still run IIS so I expect they still are running it all over.
