It scarred me for life. But you learn so so much about how *nix works from the inside. I'm assuming "CS" is the developing sector , not learning how to get it to run.
I own an android tablet and I can ascertain that yes, they show.
The thing is, you need to do it in one swipe - and you're going to do it pretty commonly. So there'll be a long continious smudge where you left it unlocked. It'll 'overwrite' previous smudges, and chances are you're not doing long swipes on other things. Unless you have swype or something.
What happens if kids break into your house and break your dishes? You sue their parents? You sue the school for not teaching them well? You sue the government for not putting enough money in education?
There is no logic to who gets sued. Suing is an interesting part of physics - whenever there is a "Lots of money" gradient, and a "Has worse Lawyers" gradient, the suing target moves.
Now I'll just be off suing microsoft for my latest virus. Brb.

Interestingly enough I prefer Firefox's grouping because I can work on one set at a time and not get distracted.
If I see/. in my tabs I will want to check it out. I tried Opera's and I was rather disappointed - I group my tabs so that my tabarea looks cleaner and I don't need to see stuff which I know will distract me from my work.
Seriously. What is so hard about installing an extension? Its one of the 'selling points' of firefox. Its not like you need to open config and play around with the values there or something.
"Of course it's horrendously stupid that you now have to resort to extensions in order to get back things,"
Extensions are firefox's forte. Installing an extension requires very little effort. What's the problem? Install an extension and get it back. Hooray. Now people like me with limited screen size prefer it this way. If you don't agree, get the extension and everyone's happy.
I don't think Firefox was ever meant to be 'minimalist'. I always saw Firefox as the add-on and feature platform.
Sure the line is getting blurry now... but I don't use FF because it opens 15 seconds faster. Just because it has features I find useful. Like the synch, and panorama and stuff...
The argument remains that for the end user/browser they don't have to pay the h.264 license. Yeah I would prefer it if we get weaned off proprietary stuff, but for now this'll do
Naah. At least this way we won't go back to the days when to view a video you needed 10 different plugins from 10 different vendors.
Or we could... use... flash, till someone write a proper codec with no strings attached? You know flash? Its that thing the web's been using for a few years now. Yeah I know its proprietry, but the player is free.

Unemployment will skyrocket due to the lack of companies needing interns anymore.
The US ruled against a law which gives corporations more power?
Are we talking about a different US?
(Added):
Just to give an idea of the things we did, the assignments were
1. Multi-player (different user) version of snake on the same machine. Needed to use shared memory to pass information - no pipes.
2. A system whereby a function is executed remotely over an internet connection and returns an input. Think "Web services" written in C.

That'll work.
Until someone wipes your phone maliciously.

I see an executive director job at Facebook on the horizon.

The irony.
Linux is lacking them because GNOME apparently doesn't support you putting stuff in the title bar - not sure about the other window managers though.
Unity is going to be another problem when it comes out...

To each his own eh?
Then you're using the wrong browser.

Its how extensions work.

Everything can be used for "Piracy".
Before we had tapes, then Floppies, then CDs, then P2P and websites...
I can send illegal files by email, by handing them over on a thumb drive...
Its easier if we just add "Everything" to the list of Piracy and let it be done.
Except that Firefox already said it wasn't going to support it. So that's 30% of the market fragmented already.
No no, the implication is that if I send my friends 1000 copywritten mp3s...
I'm sending 1000 instances of a "Number" (composed of 1s and 0s.)
Now if numbers can't be patented/copywritten... then there's no copyright WHATSOEVER - what I'm doing is legal.
Now I know that this sort of thing would make the world better - but that disputes the legality of that sentence.
"Sony Closing Plant 18M/CD/Month Plant"
Aside from two Plants...
18 Million Per Cd Per Month?
I'm pretty sure it'll have that.
Otherwise I could set up my own tv station - at least for a limited range. And nobody* wants that.

Isn't perfect (far from it), but certain things work.
Everything can be represented as numbers. My top-secret patented doomsday device may be stored on the computer as a bunch of 1s and 0s.
If that sentence has legal bounds, then nothing that can be stored on a computer is patentable.
The argument remains that for the end user/browser they don't have to pay the h.264 license. Yeah I would prefer it if we get weaned off proprietary stuff, but for now this'll do
"It will be interesting to see if major browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari will follow the suit and drop support for H.264."
Fixed that up for you
