take these fancy UIs and use them to control a calculator and then decide if it right for the job.
"Right for the Job" is the key phrase.
There are three primary UIs:
the command line (CLI)
the Graphical User Interface (GUI)
and the side door port used to tie functionality together. known by many different names, but in essence an Inter Process Communication Port (IPC)
Together they are like the primary colors of light or paint, take away one and you greatly limit what the user can do for themselves,
But if they are standardized with the recognition of abstraction physics (in essence what a computer impliments) then the user would be able to create specifically what they need for the job they do via understanding and applying abstraction physics. The analogy would be mathmatics and the hindu-arabic decimal system in comparison to the more limited roman numeral system.
There are all sorts of user interfaces that can be created but they all are made up of some combination of the primary three, perhaps lower down on the abstraction ladder but none the less there.
The reason why this is unavoidable is simple due to the nature of programming.
Programming is the act of automating some complexity, typically made up of earlier created automations (machine language - 0's and 1's is first level abstraction - all above it is an automation). The purpose of automating some complexity is tocreate an easier to use and reuse interface for that complexity. And we all build upon what those before us have created. Its a human unique characteristic that make its our natural right and duty to apply.
What the failure of so called computer science is guilty of is distraction by the money carrot, starting with IBM and wartime code cracking paid for by government/tax payers.
This distraction has avoided genuine computer science, or abstraction physics as it would be far more accurate in description.
Abstraction physics to the creation and manipulation of abstractions as mathmatics is a creation and manipulation of numbers, as physics and chemistry is a creation and manipulation of elements existing in physical reality.
With the primary three colors of paint you can paint anything you want, but you cannot call a painting "the painting" any more than you can call a mathmatical result mathmatics. Nor can you call some interface built upon the primary UIs the silver bullet of UI's.
All this will become much more clear, common and even second nature once we all get past the foolish fraudlent idea that software is patentable.

Programming languages change and get better or new ones come along, etc..
But all of them are subjective to Abstraction Physics.
Though "Abstraction Physics" might sound way to advanced its basics is not. In fact its really more a matter of training self awareness as the human language they are using is also subjective to Abstraction Physics.
Once they understand how they are already using abstraction physics then they will be better able to grasp the subject matter of abstraction so widely used in programming.
but be sure to make the subject line something I will not skip over as that address has gotten on spam lists and I'm not going to give you another email address in public , but will privately.
Hmmm, "Hacker" used to be a good thing, then it was a bad thing, and now it is a bad/good thing...
Anyway, the way to protect yourself against a hacker putting child porn on your system is to already have a ton of adult porn on your system. That way in your defence you can show that your really not interested in children.
Manipulative deceptions techniques most certainly include the human judgement system of playing guilt on sex. Sex being a topic that is unavoidable to our species. The church has played on it and so does the government and now the us gastopo...
All in all, using citzens to rat on their neighbors sounds so gastopo that it must be a Bush admin aproved tactic, along with things like removing evolution studies from the classroom and other dumb downing of the public.
When it comes to matter of morality, there is no such thing as a double standard, ends justifies means, or any such breaking of morals to bust broken morals.
There is a wide scope of sexual drives and desires and abilities or lack of. From the handicap to the physically amd mentally fit. In a time of a disease such as AIDS, safe sex means what? No physical contact, use your imagination. Where does pornography come in on this, no physical contact? It should be obvious, not everyone has a vivid imagination.
It should be clear that child porn criminality is at the creation of, point. The point where a child is abused, not at the point of proof of. The difference being that hacking innocent peoples computers to put such proof on, is not proof they commited the child abuse crime, but that their system now has such proof a crime was commited contained on it.
Otherwise what is being driven towards is "Thought Police" to bust people for imagining anything that some other person or party thinks is wrong. And this goes beyond sex, into patents and more...
Don't think or imagine, or your can get busted by the thought police.
Pathetic intent to control people to force them to be non-human drones, the living dead.

thru the application of abstraction physics we can create, in analogy, a calculator capable of outputing an application as its result. Capable of prompting the user for refined information it needs to do so.
consumer choice involves a lot more than an attached license. And I'd imagine that for each his own.
For example, a consumer might chose FOSS because updates and upgrades are generally free, or they might chose foss because of its wonderful packaging and distrubution. Or maybe they program as a hobby and want to particape in helping, or some combination of these and more.
In this case the license does what more than to simply accomodate the legal industry.
There was free and open source software before Bill Gates yelled "piracy", before the GPL was conceived, etc.. Do not confuse the trees human placed ornaments with the trunk and roots and limbs of the tree.
The ability to copmprehend abstractions at such a level to allow "programming" is a human unique characteristic. Its our right and duty to build upon what those before us have done. Otherwise we'd be nothing more than any other mammal. We hav been more long before there was even conceived proprietary software.
... and that is Free Software, open source software is a result of consumer choice. And that not all consumers are programmimng ignorant. And that programming languages have only to get better, easier to use (a matter of developer market drive.)
The thing about FOSS is that it's not one company or even a collective of companies that have rules to follow where if you don't you get kicked out, but that it is individuals who only have their own rules to follow or break.
The only rule is to not use, or at least do not distribute Proporiety Software code, unless permission is given. But this doesn't stop finding other ways too do things. And its findiong other ways to do things that can be motivational to the programming wise consumers.
Its never really been about this license vs. that license, but rather about human choice, consumer choice. Its wrong to assume all consumers here are programming ignorant.

In other words, stacks is a programming concept that can be applied at many different levels of computing. This applies to other programming concepts as well. You might say its the recursive nature of programming to re-explore a concept in a differently configured computing environment and/or at a different level of computing abstraction.
Really no different than some mathmatical equasion where some element of the equasion is the use of stacks.
The answer is "NO" but its a matter of taking away the need to spy.
The NSA has been included on the list of things that failed pre 9/11. their computer failed for three days.... all of their computer and for teh same three day. But they should have known that when you wrongly manipulate world economy, bad things will follow, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/transcripts/2704stock market.html
its a force of nature that man is unavoidably subjected to:
with over 6 billion people on this planet, you can be sure the human force causing such a waste is only a fraction of the total count, who typically just wants to live their short life and raise a family, perhaps see some of the wonders of the world and of mans creations first hand.
Amazing how it all comes down to the use of abstractions (the non-real) to communiocate ideas, beliefs, etc. And even more amazing how most people are so easily blinded by those who are very good at communiocating bad.
Maybe the world just has to come to the conclusion that it is far more expensive to do the wrong things than it is to do the right things. That doing the wrong things is simply no longer affordable, before it will change.
yes, it does mean that, much more so then it doesn't.
There is always a complication that man can inject. To assume that going with first to file is going to fix the problems of the first to invent is pretending that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.
Software is a big issue in this, as it is actually fraudelent to allow software patents. But to allow it also means that first to file will cause a land grab of patenting all sorts of things that originate in human thought but evolved little past writting it down.
There is a great deal that has been created in software which has never had a patent application filled out and sent in because the creator or writter of the work didn't want it patented. And maybe even if only to assure it stay free in use, they couldn't afford the.... what would be in this case, mob money payoff. The US patent office being the criminal organization in this case.
With software the issue of fraud is in application, otherwise software would be disallowed patentability. The proof that software is not patentable is only being avoided and by both sides of the software development industry, the proprietary and OSS, each having their own individual motives or incentives or vested interest to blind themselves of the provable facts of the nature of software.
To use an analogy or metaphor, mathmatics was complicated at one time thru the use of the roman numeral system. You could not do advanced math with it. Then came along the hindu arabic decimal system with its zero place holder that after 300 years of resistance and denial by the elite accountants , the general poopulation adopted the easier and more powerful tools of the decimal system, and has since gone on to go way way beyond the limitations of the roman numeral tools, to create whole new industries and economies that the roman numeral system simple was not capable of even conceiving.
Programming is the act of automating complexity, typically made of complexity automations that someone else did earlier. The human characteristic that set us above all other known creatures, which makes it our natural right to do, to build upon the works of those before us. The purpose of programming to to simplify the use of a complexity, to make it have an easier to use interface. and thru the use of easier to use interfaces more of use can put things together for ourselves.
But enters the fraud of software patents and the incentive to say "No you cannot use" (which is really all they patents are intended to be). Add to this the first to file and what you have is a growing man made constraint as to your ability to apply your natural rights to create and improve you own ability and productivity which in turn contributes to an improved environment for us all. For even if you came up with something to help your dfaily tasks then someone else copuld file it and prevent you from using it via man made laws. Laws where all things are now no longer possible.
Abstraction Physics proves software is not patentable. But in a corrupt world, who wants to acknowledge that?
Microsoft is first and formost a marketing company selling software. Second is their legal department to determine what they can get away with or can afford to pay penality for doing wrong, and third is acusition of the works of others or the suppression of others.
Only an idiot would at this time see this article as a favorable towards MS fact.
It is at best an admittance that MS may not be able to compete with either OSS or Google ad revenue. Via their marketing practices to make it sound like it was their original idea. Just as they have done many times in the past.
There was the boy who cried wolf and now there is the software company who yelled "piracy" that people need to stop believing.
....the illusion of computer technology being more than man will come to an end when man realizes computer technology is a stone image of man and creates and programs it and no matter how much any man wants computer tech to be the beast, it'll never be.
Artificial Intelligence, besides being an oxymoron in definition, is no more than a by product illusion of simply automating enough to fool, which is not difficult to do, a human into thinking it is another human.
I get the monthly flyer from Micro Center even though I'm pissed off at rebate failure and will not buy any item over $30 (no rebates allowed) like paper or cable etc. it does gove me the chance to keep up with market changes (watching the book store computer section change also is a good market indicator)....
But here is the thing. I've generally gained a distaste for the computer industry leading edge stuff as in 3 months what is out is old. So with this in mind, I wait for people to throw their old systems out and from that build my own. I'm at just over 500Mhz running Free OSS and honestly if I want to get a noticable boost in performance I can move to 2Ghz or better processing for less than $150. But I have to have a need for it to seriously consider it.
Haven't yet found a good enough reason or need to not just wait for free/tossed out hardware to upgrade from 500Mhz....
So those who need leading edge... let me know when you decide to toss something that just isn't good enough for you anymore.
Guess this explains why the FTC has what is pretty much a form letter they send out telling you they can't do much of anything unless they get enough complaints about some specific rebate.
I bet they actually do get plenty for any specific rebate.... but why would they tell you this when its less work for them and only those actually getting rebates in essence gives their parent organization more kickback.... uh errr I mean taxes without representation....
it's amazing how their are those who will cost you 100+ times the amount they actually might get in screwing you you out of something.
rebate processing companies practice the use of complexity to cause human failure at meeting overly complicated rebates and contribute to such failure as much as they possibly can. The first sign of complexity is "mail in" and should be a indication of potential intent to commit consumer fraud.
Now if a store can admit their biggest complaint is mail in rebates, then what the fuck is the FTC really doing with all the complaints?
imagine how much there is the tapping into privacy and the communication lines and methods of such by government authority, yet tracing this crap seems to be beyond them and their ability to do.
makes you wonder why we are paying taxes.
maybe its a matter of paying them to invade your pricacy and insure they will not protect you from individuals in other countries scamming you, or even from scammers in your own country..
this is fucking absolute god damn crap that I even see the large amount of this crap in my email acounts.
It says a whole hell of a lot about the US governments incompentancy at protecting its tax paying citizens.
It totally amazes me that an ISP provider can't even filter out fraudulent email against itself and its customers. You'd think they of all parties would know when they themselves send out an account related email vs. a scam.
It seems to be very clear, the facts.... nobody really cares whether you get screwed or not.... including the government you pay to protect you.

Only an idiot would at this time see this article as a favorable towards MS fact.
It is at best an admittance that MS may not be able to compete with either OSS or Google ad revenue. Via their marketing practices to make it sound like it was their original idea. Just as they have done many times in the past.
There was the boy who cried wolf and now there is the software company who yelled "piracy" that people need to stop believing.
....the illusion of computer technology being more than man will come to an end when man realizes computer technology is a stone image of man and creates and programs it and no matter how much any man wants computer tech to be the beast, it'll never be.
Artificial Intelligence, besides being an oxymoron in definition, is no more than a by product illusion of simply automating enough to fool, which is not difficult to do, a human into thinking it is another human.
What will happen instead is the realization of http://threeseas.net/abstraction_physics.html
... mail order guarantee .
.....
If you order from us now we will give you a 30 day money back, no questions asked, guarantee...
When teh fact of teh matter is that it is law that states they must give consumers 30 days to return
and in this case it is anti-trust suits that are requiring M$ to open up.
They are not doing this out of their own heart.
Nor it is a news worth story as it is presented,

I get the monthly flyer from Micro Center even though I'm pissed off at rebate failure and will not buy any item over $30 (no rebates allowed) like paper or cable etc. it does gove me the chance to keep up with market changes (watching the book store computer section change also is a good market indicator) ....
But here is the thing. I've generally gained a distaste for the computer industry leading edge stuff as in 3 months what is out is old. So with this in mind, I wait for people to throw their old systems out and from that build my own. I'm at just over 500Mhz running Free OSS and honestly if I want to get a noticable boost in performance I can move to 2Ghz or better processing for less than $150. But I have to have a need for it to seriously consider it.
Haven't yet found a good enough reason or need to not just wait for free/tossed out hardware to upgrade from 500Mhz....
So those who need leading edge... let me know when you decide to toss something that just isn't good enough for you anymore.
full taxes pre rebates...
Guess this explains why the FTC has what is pretty much a form letter they send out telling you they can't do much of anything unless they get enough complaints about some specific rebate.
I bet they actually do get plenty for any specific rebate.... but why would they tell you this when its less work for them and only those actually getting rebates in essence gives their parent organization more kickback.... uh errr I mean taxes without representation....
it's amazing how their are those who will cost you 100+ times the amount they actually might get in screwing you you out of something.
rebate processing companies practice the use of complexity to cause human failure at meeting overly complicated rebates and contribute to such failure as much as they possibly can. The first sign of complexity is "mail in" and should be a indication of potential intent to commit consumer fraud.
Now if a store can admit their biggest complaint is mail in rebates, then what the fuck is the FTC really doing with all the complaints?
File 13?
Where is Home Land Security when you need them?
imagine how much there is the tapping into privacy and the communication lines and methods of such by government authority, yet tracing this crap seems to be beyond them and their ability to do.
makes you wonder why we are paying taxes.
maybe its a matter of paying them to invade your pricacy and insure they will not protect you from individuals in other countries scamming you, or even from scammers in your own country..
this is fucking absolute god damn crap that I even see the large amount of this crap in my email acounts.
It says a whole hell of a lot about the US governments incompentancy at protecting its tax paying citizens.
It totally amazes me that an ISP provider can't even filter out fraudulent email against itself and its customers. You'd think they of all parties would know when they themselves send out an account related email vs. a scam.
It seems to be very clear, the facts.... nobody really cares whether you get screwed or not.... including the government you pay to protect you.
