Isn't the only noteworthy thing about the golden ration that it appears so often in our world? So what's surprising about it showing up in a different location of the same world?
I guess Microsoft wants to shield the user from accidentally running across the oh-so-utterly-complicated and highly technical concept of 'files'.
It's Much Nicer(TM) to think of your stuff in terms of "this is a picture, that is a game, that is a cat video", and being completely oblivious of that all those magic little things generalize to 'a bunch of application-interpreted data with a name'. Encouraging whitespace in file^Wmagic thing names also hints into this direction.
Microsoft is probably well aware of the fact that showing extensions by default would help the luser spotting attempts of tricking them, but this is apparently not as important as providing a "magical" computing experience.
Slashdot Mirror
The vast majority of people that bought iPhones bought them because hip and avantgarde and somehow magical.
Fixed that for you.

I snapped almost 500 pics during the early morning hours.
And ruined every single one with a watermark which doesn't even look good, well done.
Neither, it means you're probably unemployable to start with.
Thanks for you're insight
i dun get dis. some1 DTF?
Well back in my day, our computers were of tubular shape and used to have a pushbutton on one end -- and the tip of a ball point pen on the other.
The raspi is full of proprietary. The ATmega's on the Arduino are not exactly open either, AFAIK (but at least properly documented)

You do realize that the vast majority of raspis in the wild are Model Bs, though, right?
Yes, if by "small" you mean "large".
Oh yeah please. Make it even slower.
I love writing in assembler
Now that's very interesting, but I for one prefer to write in compiler.
At least that data is pretty much anonymized.
Sounds good. Where do I sign up?
/tmp/.??* gets 'em all. nearly.
while the real sysadmins are out their already using systemd in production.
Thanks for the laugh. Those "real sysadmins" are very excited about how utterly fast their laptops are able to reboot, but that's about it.
Yes.
y u tumblr?
you probably missed that years ago it was about 'maybe kinda sorta a trace of water' and is now arrived at 'ocean-sized volume'
The premissa of the discussion was that whatever is posted is /not/ in complicance with the law
Nice straw man, though.
Eh, nvm that, I suck cock.
Yeahh. Especially Venus.
Stop feeding the trolls. It's dumb.
Thanks, but that doesn't answer (or even address) my question at all...
