I've found windows the best platform to play WMV files and run Silverlight. There might be better software out there but windows 7 just runs this without any extra setup. Frankly it is the best for this task and you should seriously consider using it if you want to be in the *know* about these topics.
If i were in my teens right now, Id be doing the same thing as my friends around me, I would really be making a choice based on mostly a social logic.I'd also be making really strong opinions about subject I know very little about, only to consider them again in my 30's.
Personally I don't think teens care about whether something is open source(yes the unpopular, "know it all" ones do) . So the solution : Parents give your teens Open Office and Gimp and if you get in on the ground floor, their friends will follow. If not your teen will probably be pirating the software they want to use anyway.
I think its an improvement, being able to see angled pictures would have helped me find a whole bunch of places much better.
Although these days i use nearmaps to make sure the road i plan to travel on still exists. It also covers construction work over time really well. Just look at the Clem 7 tunnel entrance in Brisbane Australia big changes small amount of time
Google's satellite pictures are out of date in my area by a few years and have more than once directed me to a road that does not connect, or a road that does not exist. I think drone pictures in my area would bring me back to google maps. Although I doubt i will see a drone in Australia any time soon.
I agree, Plone while free is not something you want students to setup or create any sort of application with. I should know I was a student setting up and creating an application for what essentially was a podcasting art website (the site never go off the ground as far as i know.
As a student it was my year long project to complete this site (with a group of others), we did all the good things, project management docs. Requirement docs, but we where told to use Plone. None of us had ever used Plone, it took about 3 months to understand what was going on and another 3 months to become "competent" modifying Plone.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing Plone. I actually ended up really liking it, but we ended up running out of time as we couldn't learn fast enough. And it is fairly easy to brick a Plone website by "accidentally" deleting the wrong files. (or maybe i'm a little dumb).
Can anyone explain this to me, is there anything significant to Cell processors? Or is it a new (or old [I tend to miss these things]) buzz word or technology? Is it an IBM branding ? Is it a new type of processor that works by decoding DNA ?
I read the article, and all I read was a bunch of words with very little meaning.
I think you'll find a graph can be used to display large amounts of information in a small(variable) area, and it makes the data easier to interpret and anomalies easier to spot.
That's true, but has absolutely nothing to do with what he said.
But everything to do with what I was trying to say. I was talking about admin tools, - GUIs are good for reporting data. And they often use graphs to represent, for example, connections over time and many other things.
GUIs do not usually display graphs
Then what usually does display a graph? PUIs(Paper User Interfaces), my mistake
They usually display a little message box saying "An error occurred. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
I've seen the same thing from CLIs, except no message box. Bad error messages are a software issue available in both CLIs and GUIs.
I think you'll find a graph can be used to display large amounts of information in a small(variable) area, and it makes the data easier to interpret and anomalies easier to spot.
I don't see why one should have an advantage over the other.
Really?
GUIs have a many advantages in displaying data: interactive graphs and tables; tables with no fixed column size; stretch or shrink a column/row width easily, and re-order the data with a single click; or being able to drill down into tabled data via a single click; on the fly filtering of data; Zooming; scrolling; no text wrapping; ability to select data down a column;
CLIs are limited by having only one form of input, and one way to display. I have seen clever CLIs that display graphs but that is realy a half GUI in a CLI, but most of all you can't interact simply with the data.
After all, the information is just text
If all you are displaying is a simple line of text like "File not found." then I suppose it is irrelevant how it is displayed.
With a CLI or a script that's easy: it comes down to "log in as user X, change to directory Y, run script Z with arguments A B and C - the output should look like D".
This works great, until you log in as user X, change to directory Y, run script Z with arguments A B and C, and the output looks like F or even G (not G!!!!). Then you spend quite some time trying to find what was different this time.
GUI's are better for reporting and displaying information
I like the way you look at this. You are right, we should be/and probably are adversaries (with the exception of fan boys who have lost their heads for a brand completely.)
But one of the aims in marketing is to make it the marketing completely invisible such that the potential customer does not see it. i was trying to explain it as a benefit; but not very well.
But on the bright side to all this, most of us while fighting off marketing, are involved at work in some way with another marketing firm: Attacking back with the same weapons. So to me the playing field is level, one group tries to get my money, while my group(my job) tries to get theirs. Maybe not directly but surely the 6 degrees of separation also works for the flow of money.
In regard to privacy, it is important but I found the user data I have worked with ends up holding the anonymity as the name attached to the data stops mattering, but rather the data as a whole.
As an example:
Who cares if Mrs Jefferson likes Classical Music I can't afford to make a product just for Mrs Jefferson, when it is far more important that People of Mrs Jefferson's age tend to like Classical Music. So Mrs Jefferson no longer matters. I can make a product, and market it to people of Mrs Jefferson's age. So in that way there is type of privacy.
I'm sure there are counter examples, and I've been too simple, too focused, too naive. In short my world experience is not enough, and have only my short years as authority. So understand that I take on your comment with interest and thought.
People you don't know, from companies that don't exist. A group of entities that never was. The industry exists only to put interest in things, new and happening things you have never heard of. In this case it is "a lot".

I agree, it probably is to allow better marketing and monitization strategies through social media; But that by itself is not nessesarily a bad thing. We all get annoyed at junk mail, and random salesmen/preachers knocking at our door. Only because we already know what we want. A more personalised marketing strategy can be a lot less obtrusive as it fits into what we do. Some people worry that because of this we may not be aware of ads / marketing strategies being used on us and because of that we will be come mindless zombies. Personally i doubt that. My concern always will be with privacy to individuals, not corporations. An individual can harass and threaten and generally troll, corporations will only ever try to get you to buy their stuff..... Hopefully.
One exception i can think of is the corporation individual called Steve Jobs.
-Fuck Dignified. Its crap, there is nothing dignified, nor should there be anything dignified about death. You should kick, punch, scratch, scream, cry, yell abuse and be generally horrified about death. Sure be a hero, donate a heart, but do it kicking and screaming. And no one should think the worse of you. Its your death do it how ever you want.
Agree, The images looks dirty with all those hands reaching out to touch part of the monitor. The monitor will have fingerprint stains that will never quite come off, signs of an experience it will never forget.
For really dirty action get two of those monitors together for some: Hot screen on screen action. -- you know like the M.C. Escher drawing, but with 20 fingers from each monitor.
What is this book you speak of? Is it a new development platform? If so it must be new I haven't heard of it before. Is there a online tutorial on how to develop for this "book" technology?

Have you tried using windows?
I've found windows the best platform to play WMV files and run Silverlight. There might be better software out there but windows 7 just runs this without any extra setup. Frankly it is the best for this task and you should seriously consider using it if you want to be in the *know* about these topics.
