Logo was created in the 60s, turtles and all. It was popular on other systems as well in the early 80s, so it doesn't really seem to me that they did anything wrong here?
Please, don't let facts ruin an otherwise perfectly valid Apple bashing. Oh, they also stole all of Xerox's assets, didn't you know?
Passive FTP has been around for more than 20 years.
Still a lot more complex than regular HTTP which goes through only one socket though. Not mentioning people behind an HTTP proxy such as myself at this very moment. Plenty of workarounds, but they're just that: workarounds.
The only keyboard issue I've been having is the "repeat" going dead every 5 to 6 days. Then you can hold a key down and the repeat doesn't work anymore. Very painful when moving your cursor.
To fix it I just open the preferences panel, go to keyboard, change the speed.
Once a week is annoying but overall usable. I've never encountered your problem. 11.10 64bits.
We have other protocols, like FTP for example, that handle things besides web pages. HTTP is a pretty wide open protocol and allows all sorts of things to be jammed in to it, which is why it's worked so well in the past.
Also, as they say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
With all the NAT going around, FTP is becoming less and less useable.
The biggest pro for HTTP is it's universal support, not its openness.
As far as your last sentence is concerned, we'd still be fighting for a little fire if we followed it all along...
You are correct!! There are 30% of informative mods on this !!!
That anyone could find this "informative' clearly show the mod point go to the wrong persons. I mean, if you have that low of a knowledge of networks in general, you shouldn't moderate these discussions.
If you continue mixing everything in one big meta problem, you'll fail to see the big picture.
Fact: People need to eat. They also usually need a roof over their head. Consequence: People need money.
As a result of this, most people are not willing to work for free, because it is usually their work that makes the ends meet.
Look at Wikipedia. Free of ads, but they come whining every other year for money. All in all, they do put ads on their site, buit it's ads for themselves.
And before ads were invented the web was mostly academics and porn. Ah yes, a few fan website that ware so full of crap it was barely useable.
Depends. On a typical commercial website you usually have the scripts you care about - the scripts you page depends on, and javascript you don't care all that much about - analytics, ads, etc. The former is usually placed in the header, the latter in the footer.
Let me tell you that MacOS (in its latest version at least where they introduced on-demand desktops) is vastly more useable than Unity, by any measure I could take.
Now, I'll take a good gnome or KDE over both, but still...
As I already explained in another branch of the thread, the way I work is by separating tasks between workspaces. I'll be working on my wife's website, a professional presentation, my backup script and checking my emails. Each of those tasks require way more than one window. Having one workspace dedicated to each of them allows me to switch between them much faster.
Now, to take your example, if the gedit contains my conky config file, I know it's on the "System" workspace. If it's an HTML file from my SO website, it's on the "Website" workspace.
And I return the question to you: When you have 4 gedit opened, how do you know which one you need? Do the thumbnails of Unity really help you?
For me it's simpler: I get to the workspace dedicated to the task at hand, and my gedit is there.
I have currently over 20 windows open... On dual-screen. It's not a problem, I just hide those I'm not actively using. You do have a point between task-segmentation. I used to do that too.
Yes, it's not about the windows, but about having several sets of windows pre-established. It makes task switching much faster for me.
I could be working on my wife's website, on my conky config and a professional presentation. Plus checking my various emails. Each of those tasks takes way more than one window/tab. Being able to get from one set to the next in a keypress is a huge bonus for me.
I'd second this. I hope that 3D is just a gimmick that falls out of style rather quickly.
Most certainly not. Converting 2D footage to 3D is a horrendous endeavor and should be stopped - or at least left alone. But well-done stereoscopic footage has an added value IMO.
Now, they've improved resolution and stereoscopic aspect. What I'd like to see next is the framerate. I find 24fps vastly insufficient to relay the feeling that "you're there", and whenever there's a big tracking shot, I find it choppy at best.
I've watched 100fps footage and it does make a heck of a difference.
Now, there's plenty of automatic algorithms that already improve this in popular videoprojectors and TV sets, but I haven't experienced it first hand so I can't vouch for it.
I don't think I could live without virtual desktops. I have on a regular basis 20+ windows opened and having it all open on the same screen seems just impossible. Plus, I like to have my work stuff separated from my leisure stuff and my system stuff. Three workspaces it is;-)
Plus I'm dual screen, so it makes a total of 6 virtual screens.
You claim to be able use Unity, so I have to ask: Did they fix the multi-workspace issue where the bar showing all your running apps show them all, not just the apps running in the current workspace? Because there's little point in having multiple workspaces if the bar showing programs doesn't make any difference between them..

Wow. Way to screw the whole system just for these little puny points.

You"re right. I meant e-commerce websites, not commercial sites. And even then, I agree, it's not a universal rule.

YMMV of course.
I did not know that about SPDY, thanks for the info.
That's one reason to adopt it widely and quickly IMHO.
Exactly my thought. Probably some. How much we will never know.
This is about protecting their brand, trademarks and image.
No, it's about protecting their patents. Trademark infringement is completely different...
Awwww, come on... It's all the same ip thingy now.
The tantrum was about someone doing to him exactly what he did to Xerox.
Do you mean to say Apple offered everything on iOS to Google and said "There. Do what you want with it." ?
That's not the story - at least not the way I remember it.
"of any worked created with it"? Really? Even the summary isn't in English now....
Ah!... I didn't know about the Alt-Right click on Gnome 3. It's now working.
You're the man. Thanks.
Alas, I'm using gnome 3 (Ubuntu 11.10 here).
Off I go, to figure out how to install Gnome 2 ...
Thanks for the tip. Now I have another good reason to downgrade that piece of crap.
Let me tell you that MacOS (in its latest version at least where they introduced on-demand desktops) is vastly more useable than Unity, by any measure I could take.
Now, I'll take a good gnome or KDE over both, but still...
Wow, thanks for the tip. I didn't know it was that close.
Do you mean to say that you have a dual-screen setup and you can have two taskbars? How do you do that? Gnome? KDE?
I''d be interested in trying this.

That's one of my biggest grudges against Unity.
I'd rather have them make Unity usable first. We'll see if they are able to do it and we may decide to move forward from that point.
