Until you take the trouble to read about the current President, then you will understand that to his human failings he adds an amount of political incompetence rarely seen in any democratic ruler on recent times.
.... that dismisses the experience gathered by my users for many years.
I don't need to use it, no matter how "revolutionary" and "innovative" it is I know it will cause more problems than it will solve since it is breaking the familiarity so crucial to make a given user interface useful.
This is retraining hell on the waiting room, it will be fun... NOT.
The rule number 1 of user interface design is to keep things familiar.
We all can understand if a user has to re-learn a user interface if he has to use a new program to achieve the same task. This is necessary since different teams of designers arrive to different conclussions about what is better to achieve a certain task. Ultimately it is almost impossible to rule what is the best or worst user interface, since very often this boils down to which one a person is familiar with.
Was is completely incomprehensible is the same company fiddling all the time with a given user interface in a product of theirs. By changing an interface radically they are throwing away all the experience gained by users and imposing on them "new ways" of doing things that the user normally did not request. Change in a user interface should be slow and only if it is completely proven beyond doubt that is necessary (we all can come up with pet peeves regarding this). Imposing fully different user interfaces is a sign of egocentrism of a company that thinks knows better that their clients. The question clients have to ask themselves (please do) is: do they really know better than us what we need?
I mean, they are not re-inventing the wheel, formating a document, working with spreadhseets, are well understood problems that have very little space for improvement if at all.
Unless MS has really innovated this time (unlikely) I don't see how such momentous increases in productivity will be generated.
For succesful, responsible companies, these changes represnet an annoyance (cost of training should be factored in a yearly basis any way, but instead of learning a useful skill, people will have to learn a new tool do exactly the same stuff).
Fmailiarity incresase productivity, unless MS has come up with something truly visionary (yeah, sure) they will only disturb the patterns of work of millions of people for no good reason whatsoever.
The current Brazilian President is the best you had for decades.
Previously you have military dictatorships that exploited football for political gains or neolibelral technocrats that pretty much ignored the whole of the Brazilian poor in favour of the rich and powerful.
The current President is of humble extraction, is not "semi-analphabet" (I guess you meant semi-illiterate) since he was a Labour activist for many years, hardly the activity of somebody that has no literacy.
Such a term is used with the express purpose of denigrate and discriminate.
That somebody is so rich as to suggest people complaining about the use of the term, are actually the ones "stigmiatizing" women just comes to show the mountain left to climb for people aiming for a just society for women.
Just check how long dinosaurs ruled the planet and how long mammals have being around, specially hominids, and if you want to be really humbled, check how long homo sapiens has been around.
When mammals and we humans get anywhere close to what dinosaurs got on this planet, then we may start the jibes, before that we should be fearful that we may not do as well as such magnificent beasts did.
You were "foed" because you consider normal to queue in the cold to reserve a gaming console.
No disrispect, but I asume the guy that foed you only befriends functional adults that can wait to buy something when it is available via the normal channels and that consider such unnecessary artificial shortages an insult to costumres.
Unless you think an additional computer is just a small inconvenience....

.... you would say:
-It does not taste like lemonade. -It does not look like lemonade. -It is not made from lemons. -It is not opaque like lemonade.
for bunnies fucking sakes, this device has a completely different use, which I'll let you guess in order to allow you to improve your reading comprehension skillz (you read TFA I am sure, so try again).
Perl allows programmers to shoot themselves in the foot as they bloody see fit, which instills a mentality of firefighting instead of one of properly designed solutions.
Other languages deal much better with this by means of their inflexible syntactic structure.
If you want a quick hack most likely never to need maintenance again (and here, I dare anybody to say you can be sure of this in a professional environment), then yes, Perl is fine.
If you need maintainable code, then Perl is the worst starting point for current modern languages.

Never seems to be your answer, as long as it is "for the good of the nation"....
It was though to allow your personal friend and former boss to suffer the indignity of a trial and most likely punishment.
He fumbled on that account, taking the easy way out.

They just mapped the damn thing.
On 3D.
How do you explain that?
These clever chaps have done just that.
They actually mapped it.
On 3D!
If it was a hack, it would be one of the cleverest, more accurate hacks in the history of science.
.... if GNU had anything to do with either Communism or World Peace, but we kind of get your point....
To put the onus on the user to keep applications integrated (when all what is required it to use the same frigging formats).

It stands to reason to expect people to figure them out by themselves.
That would be the assumption of a lousy technician or designer.
Which one are you?

Successful ones train their employees.

You are completely atrocious and anachronistic.

it took me 30 seconds to find that.
So you are just saying the PS3 isn't there yet?
Thanks for making that awfully clear.
But you are being espectacularly dumb.

But I am guessing here only.
Inquiring minds want to know.
