remember that a whole bunch of feedback goes along the lines of "why did you do this really stupid new thing here". the answer to which is usually "because we had to make it run on run OK on low-end hardware".
the other one is "why does windows still do this really stupid thing here". the answer to which is usually "because it's always done that, and if we change it apps will break".

i always thought it was a bad analogy, for a different reason:
A cathedral - an old place, parts of which are probably falling apart, where people looking for meaning in their lives come to hear a bearded chap rattle on endlessly about some made up crap. most of them have no idea why they're there, but somehow they feel compelled to stay.
A bazaar - a market where ideas and products are exchanged. the value of the products is important: nobody is forced to give their wares away for free.
They intentionally make it difficult/impossible to change the operating system. while they could never get away with building machines that die after 3 years, they do essentially this by forcing you to buy a new machine when a new OS ships. and good luck finding up-tp-date drivers for the various built-in devices.
a typical conversation I've had about this:
THEM: look at this new Sony laptop, it's so shiny! should i get it?
the streaming selection on netflix is limited because netflix has to ink an often complex 'boradcast rights' deal with the studio for each movie in order to steam it. netflix has to compete with other broadcast companies (mostly the tv networks, but also companies like hulu, iTunes), and in many cases the deals are for exclusive rights over a given time period. none of this applies to shipping DVDs.
I believe that adding movies to your 'watch instantly' queue allows netflix to prioritize which movies it should license for streaming.
Yeah, it's a shame the Windows team screwed up Hungarian and then forced their version on the world via the Windows SDK.
I feel that many of the arguments against Systems Hungarian are valid, however most of those don't apply to Apps Hungarian. And since App Hungarian doesn't try to encode exact type information, it is easily reusable across languages.
I code mostly in C#, Javascript, ActionScript & Java, and I use the same Apps-like Hungarian in all of them.
some prefixes I use:
i - index c - count str - string f - boolean b - byte ch - char rg - list/array set - set map - map/dictionary
int cchFoo = strFoo.Length;// count of chars char [] rgchFoo = strFoo.ToArray ();// array of chars int ichFoo;// index of chars for (ichFoo = 0; ichFoo cchFoo; ichFoo ++)
setFoo.Add (rgchFoo [ichFoo]);

at the very least he should be neutered.
blocklists should be one-way hashes. the user's email address should never even be sent over the wire.
what, run AP client & server on the same WNIC at the same time? doubt it...
not AP & Ad-Hoc simultanously with 1 WNIC. RTFA.

rock, meet hard place.
task manager in vista & 7 allows you to assign processor affinity
compiler? yes.

is it better to just have one ubiquitous, closed source plugin on the web?
insightful, my ass!
you forget that GNOME was the free (as in RMS) alternative to the closed KDE. i think you're barking up the wrong tree there.
probably the mindless zombies...
the only logical conclusion: Shoe Event Horizon
quality, on-demand art before modern distribution (read: printing press, phonogram, vhs) was extremely expensive and only accessible to the wealthy.
what you're advocating is the eradication of the democratic majority's access to art.
disclaimer: I used to work for Sony.
That said, NEVER, EVER buy a Sony laptop.

no, but by the time you'd found that out your account would have been stolen. so you wouldn't be doing it again anyway...
the infections are intentional - the viruses didn't write themselves...
Wow, you're amazing! I can't believe nobody's thought of that until now.
Oh wait...

correct, Hungarian doesn't give you any guarantees. that's what type systems are for.
what it does do is help. if you see
strFoo = 3;
then you know that's probably an error without having to look elsewhere.
even better:
- edit variable name
- Ctrl-Alt-F10, Enter
actually, '=' (as in assignment) is the new GOTO.
not at all: - install XP with network unplugged - turn on firewall - plug in network
