That isn't a very good example, as the obvious answer (which you quoted) is "Use the input element to create buttons in an HTML form." In other words, just don't use <button>.
lack of focus-follows-mouse (which is purely a matter of preference) the fact that it's impossible to have a window in-focus without raising it doesn't snap to screen/window edges when moving and resizing (although Windows 7 did add some basic support for this) doesn't support multiple work spaces (although Windows 7 added a gesture to minimize all the windows except the topmost one)
Perhaps, but then and than aren't really good examples of it. They have slightly different pronunciations.
Off the top of my head I can think of won/one, two/too/to, there/their, fore/four/for, eight/ate, heard/herd, new/knew, use/ewes, white/wight, real/reel, whet/wet, hour/our, know/no, when/win, tow/toe, red/read, reed/read... and that of course brings me to words that are spelled the same way but pronounced differently... read, wind,...
At least in the version I have, the floating windows are always-on-top and CAN'T BE MINIMIZED. Seriously... WTF. And they clutter up the task bar because they all have their own button.
Then again - maybe they fixed that. I don't use GIMP enough to bother updating it regularly. I'll have to download the most recent version when I get home tonight.
Ideally, the tool buckets should not have their own task bar buttons (focus them through the Windows menu in the canvas window). They should be always on top, but they should disappear when none of the GIMP windows have focus, or at least when all of the GIMP canvas windows are minimized.
Various operating systems hard code the "future use" blocks as basically being unroutable, so they aren't going to save you now.
Yeah, too bad various operating systems can't be updated.
Seriously, if you're not at least running a fully-patched and updated version of Windows XP, you shouldn't be connected to the internet. Same goes for legacy versions of other operating systems.
At least in the US and most Europe countries, copying music that you "own" for a friend is OK under "fair use" or "private copy" exceptions of the copyright law.

You are allowed to make a private copy for YOUR use. Not to loan to your friends. Not to loan to your enemies. Not to loan to your new friend named 197.37.92.102 who you just met online 5 seconds ago. Not to anyone else. YOU.
The music industry tried that in the US and failed. It turns out that no, they can NOT make it illegal for you to sell your CD collection in a garage sale. I really hope it's not that bad in NZ.
Sure. All you'd have to do is use the compiler package to produce an executable and then decompile it into whatever language you prefer. Pretty it up some and call it good. Like I said, nothing "magic" about Matlab, just a bunch of useful built-in functions that he chose not to re-invent.
What it does measure is horizontal displacement vs. a reference image.
That's just another way of saying that some of the dots are displaced horizontally more than others, i.e. the horizontal distance between them is different. If the camera is positioned just to the right of the IR emitter, then two dots closer together = the rightmost dot is closer to the camera, whereas two dots farther apart = the rightmost dot is farther away.
My line of reasoning was that the other kind have more ornamental value than these, since they're actually going to be worn, while the interlocking rings are probably hung on a wall or stuffed onto some shelf where hardly anyone will see them. But yeah, both kinds do have symbolic value.
It was a zero-day vulnerability. The fact that it's no longer a zero-day vulnerability isn't nearly as important as the fact that it was one, since the very fact that we're discussing it means that it's no longer unknown.
If you want to be that pedantic, you might as well just throw out the term altogether, because as soon as you find out that a 0-day exists, it ceases to exist.
It doesn't change the fact that it was a zero-day vulnerability, either.
And Adobe themselves called it one:
During our response to any zero-day vulnerability, Adobe seeks to protect as many users as quickly as possible. As part of our collaboration with Google, Google receives updated builds of Flash Player for integration and testing. Once testing is completed for Google Chrome, the release is pushed via the Chrome auto-update mechanism. Adobe is testing the fix across all supported configurations of Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris and Android (more than 60 platforms/configurations altogether) to ensure the fix works across all supported configurations. Typically, this process takes slightly longer and, in this case, is expected to complete on April 15 for Flash Player for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris
No, zero-day means that the developer didn't know about it when the attack went live. They'll eventually discover the vulnerability and patch it, but that doesn't change the fact that it was a zero-day attack.
I think that the intertwined ones are the sort that you find mounted on little plaques and such. I seem to remember seeing something like it. It's purely symbolic.

I'd assume he's either complaining about:
lack of focus-follows-mouse (which is purely a matter of preference)
the fact that it's impossible to have a window in-focus without raising it
doesn't snap to screen/window edges when moving and resizing (although Windows 7 did add some basic support for this)
doesn't support multiple work spaces (although Windows 7 added a gesture to minimize all the windows except the topmost one)
Or drag them into tabbed groups, if you use them occasionally. Clicking the tab is easier than opening and closing dialogs.

And we like it this way.
Whoosh (or maybe you got it - but for the sake of those who didn't).

If you're talking about its discovery, it's redundant to say that it was previously undiscovered.
Why does it need to be qualified with a word that's redundant given the context?
My recollection was that you could, but maybe it was a different compiler package than the one you're familiar with. Or maybe I'm remembering wrong.
Sure. All you'd have to do is use the compiler package to produce an executable and then decompile it into whatever language you prefer. Pretty it up some and call it good. Like I said, nothing "magic" about Matlab, just a bunch of useful built-in functions that he chose not to re-invent.
Amusingly enough my #a(href*=goatse.) ABP filter caught that one.
I understand that perfectly well. It means that it is unknown to the vendor. I was stating it from the point of view of the vendor of the product.
The "magic" is that Matlab has a lot of very fast and powerful built-in matrix operations. Can be reproduced, yes. Easily, no.
However, Matlab also has a compiler package that creates stand-alone executable files...

Heavens no... I'd just tape a note to their door while they're away...
(Assuming I couldn't connect to the wireless network, log into the router with the default user/pass, and change the channel myself.)
I think he's hoarding that bit of information. I'm also puzzled over where he saw the word "Europe".
That only helps if they force the user to go online every time they want to play the game, and their CD key gets verified every time they do.
