They introduced new widget sets into Windows through IE and Office.
The primary example I can think of is the fountain filled title bar, how people cooed over it when it appeared in Office.
Wordperfect for Windows truly sucked, it used Borland C for Windows iirc, bad move.
The winners at the time : CorelDraw, PageMaker, Photoshop used standard widgets but made usable apps that were distinctive (Photoshop, of course, had it's Mac heritage to draw upon).
Corel wanted to stop being a one trick pony and made the suite but found that this diversification was costly and their UI "innovations" for Draw were just plain awful. PageMaker got sucked up by Adobe.
Done. Now my app can just check for the existence of the file as a true/false (or yes/no) flag. Do I need a new setting "top/send-alerts-to" that takes a string? No problem:
not a great idea, how does one know to touch the file
having
setting1=true # makes logging work setting2=false # supress syslog output
is by far superior because I can see the flags and make commentes etc.
-f Flood ping. Outputs packets as fast as they come back or one
hundred times per second, whichever is more. For every
ECHO_REQUEST sent a period ``.'' is printed, while for ever
ECHO_REPLY received a backspace is printed. This provides a
rapid display of how many packets are being dropped. Only the
super-user may use this option. This can be very hard on a net-
work and should be used with caution.
If I commit suicide and you help me, you've helped facilitate a crime.
If you and I conspire for you to commit suicide we've both committed a crime (conspiracy to commit an offence carries max life imprisonment in UK).
In the US one just calls the police and make erratic sudden movements when they arrive, preferably in the dark and better still if you're under 10 y.o.
sadly it has been deprecated in plan9 itself as not enough people were using it and it was feared that it wasn't getting exercised enough and thus could rot away into bugsville.
The Amiga had the first real OS on a computer you could buy in a retail store and part of its rabid popularity was it didn't run MSDOS or have braindead segment registers.
The BBC Micro was pretty good. I'm pretty sure the Amiga's popularity with the majority people who bought them from retail stores was not because of the appeal of non-segmented registers.
Your ignorance of the art/video scene is palpable.
Just because all you have seen in Flash is lame jokes doesn't mean there aren't artists using it as a medium of expression.
The number of submissions that have been received/accepted by my local film festival have risen dramatically in the last couple of years. And some of them have been very watchable.
There really is no excuse for *not* having a good OSS Flash player to be quite frank.
Legal complications aside, people code to scratch itches. I guess having a Flash player just isn't itchy enough. I know it causes me *no* irritation whatsoever.
I use Gaim on my desk and Agile on my phone, and can talk to users of multiple IM systems, 10 on gaim & 4 on Agile - MSN, AIM/ICQ and Yahoo wherever I am
I never see MSN/Yahoo ads, in fact, if it wasn't for the fact that it said MSN on login that I would even know.

each one a different file in the FS ?
great, 20k to store '7' !!
what's so wrong with one passwd file per user with all the key=value pairs inside?

NAME
ping - send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to network hosts
SYNOPSIS
ping [-dfnqrvR] [-c count] [-i wait] [-l preload] [-p pattern] [-s
packetsize]
DESCRIPTION
Other options are:
-f Flood ping. Outputs packets as fast as they come back or one
hundred times per second, whichever is more. For every
ECHO_REQUEST sent a period ``.'' is printed, while for ever
ECHO_REPLY received a backspace is printed. This provides a
rapid display of how many packets are being dropped. Only the
super-user may use this option. This can be very hard on a net-
work and should be used with caution.
definite, you know, like infinite
sometimes that works
red = '#FF0000'
but sometimes that ends up being
red = '#00FFFF'
and then the whole thing becomes a farce
jeesh, so much effort, try using a better OS, here's how plan9 does the same
/service/tcp1234
% cat
#!/bin/rc
date
you miss the point

If you and I conspire for you to commit suicide we've both committed a crime

here's an idea, ask MetroPCS in Miami

They still run TCP?
That doesn't sound the best way to me. TCP crunching takes up quite a bit of CPU power, 1000 nodes crunching TCP must waste plenty of cycles.
Some vendors are building/designing specific hardware just to crunch the TCP stack!

for some values of good
I couldn't view them, is that good ?
is that like cannabis ?
Incidentally, it also breaks properly-designed retrieval mechanisms
if they break, how can they be properly designed ?
There's only one thing to do with Buds, and that's light them up!!
I've had an idle ICQ no. for years too (7 digit)
I just logged into mine prompted by your comment.
All works fine.
who cares who they use
I use Gaim on my desk and Agile on my phone, and can talk to users of multiple IM systems, 10 on gaim & 4 on Agile - MSN, AIM/ICQ and Yahoo wherever I am
I never see MSN/Yahoo ads, in fact, if it wasn't for the fact that it said MSN on login that I would even know.
I think they search through for unlinked URI's just to flame
oh *I* would, would *I* ?
