No fan for the Mac? Inability to move files from one NeXT to another without a network? No keyboard for the iPhone? Hey, it's form over function for Steve, baby.
Right. It's not as if copy/paste was something OSs have been implementing for years. They had to go back to scrapbooks to really figure out the whole text moving Zeitgeist.
Maybe you should just get Enzyte or some other form of non-metallic male enhancement. It's a lot cheaper than a gun and you can't get in trouble when you shoot.
"serious professionals can visualize more than the code visible on the tiny bubble desktop in their head"
I always wondered how short order cooks could keep track of all the various foods they were cooking with different start times and different cooking times. Now I know they were "serious professionals".
I'm saying that most web sites didn't have to worry about supporting multiple web browsers. That doesn't mean there was no cross-browser development - it just didn't have much of a business case at that time.
As far as having a single browser is concerned - if simplicity of development was the highest priority, than yes, a single browser would be best. Note that it wouldn't have to be IE.
Of course, there are advantages to having multiple browsers as well, just not simplicity of development.
"You're assuming that before Firefox came around, IE was the only browser"
It was true enough to convince the DOJ. Perhaps you could have helped MS convince the court that there were plenty of browsers around competing with IE.
No matter how hard IE may have been to develop for, developing for IE plus developing for other browsers would obviously be harder still.
Web developers around here have been whining about IE and Flash for years. It's time to "man-up" and just do your job. If it were easy, they wouldn't call it work.

Count yourself lucky it was her picture.
Yes, only the elite are chosen as the first to enrich strangers by providing content. The great unwashed have to wait to be exploited.
No, the AC was a public pisser which is treated the same as a child molester in some jurisdictions.
Here's another opportunity for a low id number. "I would expect a comment like that from a 3 digit member".
Sure, but remember it's Kirk that does the deed.
"They want to do it right"

What's the assailant's motivation for trying to kill an entire family (assuming the family isn't involved with criminal activity)?
The probability of being shot and killed by a family member is much greater than the probability of being shot and killed by a stranger.
I prefer to follow the odds in protecting my family rather than macho posturing.
Is that supposed to be a serious argument?

You don't need to replace it, just get rid of it.
Your analogy is absurd.
than an actual rule.
The point is that for a good short order cook, real-time skills are fundamental, for a professional software developer, they're not.

Apparently the "Pros" like to lock themselves into non-standard libraries that may disappear.
Unfortunately, the developer doesn't get to choose which parts of Java API uses checked or unchecked exceptions.
I wonder which Java patents Schwartz was referring to, Checked Exceptions or Type Erasure?
The only significance of Dijkstra's comment is that it proves that Trolls predate Slashdot.
"A generation ago, academia embraced the laptop as the most welcome classroom innovation since the ballpoint pen"
Are they talking about a canine university? A generation ago academia was debating the use of programmable calculators.
But now we have companies with down-to-earth business plans - like twitter.
"Never go up against a Sicilian when mods are on the line!"
You keep using that word "vaporware". I do not think it means what you think it means. ...
