I want a parrot Bluetooth receiver and steering wheel control, the pretty much very basic one, everything beyond that looked obnoxious. Play pause track skip from wheel, rest from phone, done.
1) agree, but rare, and I use command-L anyway 2) annoying, though it's generally not destructive (to changes) without confirmation. This is a major pet peeve of mine, and always but space in there with a custom KDE button layout 3) annoying, a lot, and the opposite happening at times too (things staying behind and hanging other operations because I can't click them) 4) this is a pretty universal thing 5) Almost every app supports this, and most all use F11 now 6) I like it, type three letter and click. Shouldn't need to browse it at all.
Also, the side and top snap are great features. The taskbar is the best solutions I've found for managing lots of windows (blanking out all other windows when hovering on a thumbnail makes it super fast to flip through open windows, and find them when selected.
It may not be the best over-all. I also really like a customized KDE, or gnome2 (always on top being a big win), but Win7 is a contender. the snapping windows (which is in KDE too) and new taskbar being the new things that moved it beyond Win95, and on par with OS X, KDE and Gnome.
It's not about streaming at home, it's about watching videos when I travel. Airplay doesn't help there, requiring me to bring more stuff, at that point, a large perk over a laptop is lost.
And yet I see lawyers typing/editing briefs in court from an iPad with citrix (and lil keyboard case). And taking notes. True, they may not be typing the bulk of it, but work is getting done.
At home I am seeing people not replacing computers as they die.
Computers aren't going away, but they are becoming office devices, with laptops getting replaced by citrix and an iPad (portability and battery life are winning for the type of person that reads figures and types short emails), home browsing getting replaced with safari and an iPad.
I'd say 1/3 of the work that used to be done on computers surrounding a trial is now being done on tablets, and it's leading to about a 25% reduction in the stock of computers in the war room/court room. Just one isolated example, but it's not total bullshit that things are changing dramatically. I moved recently, and didn't setup my desktop due to not wanting to sacrifice desk space, now, if I have desktopy stuff to do at home, I just stay at work a little longer, it's rare.
How did gnome become a windows clone over time? The most windows like version was 1.x IMO, and that was like windows up through vista. As time went on its config got less control panel like, the layout changed to so etching fairly unique to gnome, but closer to osx than windows (2.x). Then they tried something completely new and unprecedented (it didn't work, but apple appears to have taken some of the concepts into os x).
Gnome was a windows clone for a very short period, and at its best (2.x interface e just felt uncluttered, and relaxing to use for me) when they invested in ui research and went with it (sun spent the money I think).
KDE has always felt windows clonish, but more customizable, but the interface has always felt stressful to me (just a feel). Windows 7 may be my favorite ui though (it makes flipping through many windows of the same application easier than any other system, snapping windows, and a fast searching launcher, if only it had and always on top button.
Except those subs were probably fairly autonomous.
This looks like something being invented that will only be useful against very low tech enemies (good luck sending control signals without giving away your location).
If perhaps it was able to get into a general area autonomously (or only receiving signals), and launch payloads that then themselves connected to the remote pilot it could work, but as I see it, it's going to be a sub shouting "I am here", which kind of defeats the purpose.
Yes, with perhaps 50% of the world's military budget most enemies are low tech, but if that's the case, I don't see the need to invent tech just to combat them. this just screams of graft.
You can't tease us like that and not make a list. I'm not looking to argue or criticize, but it could make my life better for 90 minutes here and their to have the list.
unfortunately most free apps require access to networks too, as they are ad supported. If it has an invite mechanism it needs access to your contacts too, basically meaning every app could very well be a spam harvester and that the system is useless.
The problem with traps such as this (ones that use a scent) is that often they attract more to the area than they catch (this is true of the beetle trap bags anyway).
No, but if you said to a third coworker behind the deserving one's back, "bob over there is so stupid, somebody should beat him until he isn't" you'd laugh together and do more to damage the work environment (this is a third person impersonal you, not a you directly, I wish we had a proper pronoun for that in English).
I'm glad there's no talking behind each others back at your office.
I didn't mean people talk to each others face that way, and I meant that as a benefit to it being open. In a typical office it's all talking behind backs.
People talk that way at the office, it's just not openly aired. The LKML is like an office for the developers, but it's kept around for all to see, it's not shocking to me that it crosses the lines of what one would see in corporate email, when people are much more in contact with those they work with. I also like that actual offensive behavior can be seen by all, and tracked.
I like having access to the GNU utils, and to Bash. they work pretty well for my needs. None of it appears noticeably slower than downloading the native tools (though perhaps because they are just compiled against cygwin often, and it's easier to deal with paths doing it all from cygwin).
I'm open to suggestions for a native toolkit, any significant scripting I use Python for, but find iPython a nuisance to use as an interactive shell.
I see A LOT of work being done on tablets (with remote desktop to a server). When I say a lot, I mean in dollar figure, but intellectual work, nothing that needs real power, composition and reviewing things.
New yorker covers have been done on iPads, drawing in general is quite nice on an iPad, not as good as a really nice tablet, but pretty damned good (I think Penny Arcade has been done on a Windows 8 tablet recently too).
The Gorillas did an album using one if I'm not mistaken. Things are changing rapidly. Additionally, I'd predict that most office computers are mainly used for tasks more resembling consumption than composition.
Now this isn't to say they aren't a different thing, and it's not a MAJOR shift and separate category, I agree with that, it's just that I see a lot of computers going away (I have three friends that don't own one anymore, and I barely use mine, we all barrow a work laptop periodically (especially if needing to bring work home), I do so more than I use my own laptop, which basically lies under my bed closed for weeks at a time (replaced with a tablet, a PS3, and a phone).
Does this mean (as far as you know) they struck down the part of the law that includes digital creations (a digital photo of a sketch counting?)
That part was very disturbing to me, as I would think that anything created without actors/posers/participants is clearly artistic expression (even if it's gross and I don't want to see it).
Ummm, an article about potential charges being filed, and one that involves an acquittal (which means it will unlikely be an issue in similar circumstances going forward), and the acquittal was an adult third party, hardly evidence of jailtime.
From reading those articles I think my point is re enforced, moralizing schoolboard in Utah scares people, and in another charges may be made, if so most likely against those forwarding and posting publicly, and possibly against the girls.
I don't get the impression that was going to happen, and just the newspaper being sensationalist.
My biggest issue with the moved buttons is that they moved close a window to be in the corner next to start, which was initially not in the corner all the way, causing over-shoots to close the app, they fixed this though by making the start a long button in the actual bar.
It was pretty stupid to do all that for windicators which are not being used, as focus shifted from windicators to a new desktop environment.

Thanks you two. I wasn't being skeptical.
haven't actually seen a couple of the films you've suggested, ... something to look forward to :)
Was what I was going for, there's a few I haven't seen, and know I should, and a few I'm going to revisit, thanks.

Explain to me the tax benefit vs not making them?
Corporations don't really get tax benefits from donations like people do. Well they do, but they get that the same one spending selfishly too.
unfortunately most free apps require access to networks too, as they are ad supported. If it has an invite mechanism it needs access to your contacts too, basically meaning every app could very well be a spam harvester and that the system is useless.
Ours is on the same server as the website.
that the hosted DNS is down.
This article popped up as I was recreating a zone because of it, best to be off of their hosted DNS anyway.
I like it, it adds to my right-click menu (so I don't need to make it the default), and plays everything without hassle.
It's easy enough (much easier than you describe) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNjyLRQutXs

should be out in 2096
As a regular user of Cygwin, I can honestly say GNU/windows is pretty awesome.
