Yawn. Why is it that nerds who generally hate typing are so hung up on reinventing the wheel all the time just to meet some meaningless code purity standard. You might not have deadlines but I do and anything that speeds my work up is a good thing. Shit code in pure Javascript abounds; JQuery has nothing to do with the quality of the developer.
This is a far better way since anything non-IE pretending to be IE will just ignore these. Web designers have been using these for years to load special CSS workarounds for all the bugs in IE.
You can use conditional comments to load the older version of JQuery for IE6, 7 and 8 so it's not as bad as it seems. Web designers have been doing this for years to hack around Microsoft's incompetence,
I haven't noticed a decline in libertarian posting, although it mainly seems to be walls of text from roman_mir and lots of other people telling him he's an idiot with a few agreeing with some of his points.
Which Slashdot are you talking about where Apple don't get any shit. Not this Slashdot where Apple are public enemy no 2, Besides which MS will get shit here because it is a convicted criminal organisation that has not been punished sufficiently.
Desktop operating systems ceded to Apple. LMFAO. Walk into any office outside the advertising industry and count the number of Apple and Linux desktops. You probably won't run out of fingers.
Change has to have advantages that outweigh the inconvenience of the change. The ribbon doesn't have those advantages for existing users who have had to completely relearn a large part of their workflow for no improvement in productivity and with the loss of screen space.
Apple were arguing that the Galaxy Tab could be mistaken for the iPad. Well one has an Apple logo and a brushed metal back, and the other has a Samsung logo and a black back. It's like Ford suing Volkswagen because their car is a similar shape and has a wheel at each corner.
As per usual your patronising bullshit fails to make your point. Under your system I would have starved three years ago when I was out of work. Instead I was able to retrain and get a far better job. Unemployment insurance from the wonderful free market wasn't an option since they don't insure people in temporary jobs. Now feel free to fuck off and dream of your gas chambers and stick your Godwin up your arse.
Office secretaries type lots of letters, doctors type patient notes, policemen write lengthy reports, middle managers write long business cases. I don't know what organisations you post-PC types work in but they're clearly not ones where a lot of work goes on.
Whereas touchscreens are as pure as the driven snow. As for multi-windows, well sometimes you need more than one window to carry out a task. What job do you do where you only have one window open at a time?
Like many of the others you're forgetting the huge corporate market that will keep PCs around for a very long time, or at least until you can plug 2 20" monitors into an iPad and use it for something other than simple creation and consumption.
Just LOL. Humans have trouble understanding strong accents never mind computers. I guess there will always be a market for PCs in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
There are some people on here who think that because their needs are met by the Cloud/Linux/a tablet, that everyone else's needs are too. I have an iMac, a netbook running Linux, a smartphone, a Kindle and am about to get an Android tablet. Each one of these devices has a specific use for me. I would welcome a one size fits all device but my 27" iMac isn't really portable, my netbook isn't as fast as my Mac, the Kindle is far better for reading on than my smartphone but my smartphone has some great apps and the tablet I'm getting will allow me to watch videos on the move because it's got a far better graphics card than the netbook.
Yeh because insurance companies never try to weasel out of paying do they. Good luck with your fascist utopia but you're one car crash away from being completely fucked.
Slashdot Mirror
Too many viagaras possibly.
Speed.

Some software doesn't run on anything newer than XP. That's one of the reasons why Vista flopped and why XP Mode for Windows 7 exists.
The Windows desktop my dad bought in 2004 still runs plenty of stuff quite happily. Define ANYTHING.

Walk into any office. Count the number of Apple and Linux desktops. Blush and admit you're an idiot.

Save As has been available on ancient going away PCs for two decades. Why is it not available on wave of the future mobile devices?

Thank you. I might quote you next time someone says no-one runs native applications any more.
My netbook is really good now I've put an SSD in it. Before that I couldn't use it, it was so annoyingly slow.

You were proposing genocide on another thread. Bad luck old boy but you lost the moral high ground at that point.
