    "programs bar"
    He means the Dock.
    Mousing over Dock items causes their names to appear.

  2. Re:What?! on MIT Media Lab Making Programming Fun For Kids · · Score: 1

    Some schools used it to teach programing, and there is a multi volume textbook by Brian Harvey called "Computer Science - Logo Style", and it can be used that way if it is done well, but there isn't really anything that would make it somehow better than other languages for that purpose. It should be noted that this textbook is available for free (for personal use)

    You just type ( 'c ) and you get ( ç ), or ( 'e ) to get é.
    It's one of the few things I actually missed when I switched to a Mac.
    You find (option-c) and (option-e e) harder to type?

    Does Samsung sound German to you? No, they're Korean.

    >I mean look at the kids song "Ring a round the Rosey", it's about the black plague.
    No it isn't.

  11. Text to Speech on Online Replacements for Desktop Apps? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This would be great for language learning. You could just cut and paste in a foreign language text, choose a voice appropriate to that language, and hear approximately how a native speaker would pronounce it. I wish there was a Mandarin version.

    And if you did, you'd probably have to leave them in the locker.

  13. Re:Macintosh File System on Minix from Scratch Project Established · · Score: 1

    MacMinix already exists. Unfortunately it only runs as an application on top of a Classic MacOS system (I assume it runs on MacOS 9, I haven't run it since MacOS 6 or 7).

  17. Re:This is not unique to games. It's Sci-Fi Rule # on Can Illogical Videogames Still Be Enjoyable? · · Score: 1

    This is the fundamental difference between science fiction and fantasy. In Science Fiction, the rules may be contrary to our reality, but once they have been defined, the author generally sticks to them. In fantasy on the other hand, the author is always free to break the rules and use Magic as a Deus Ex Machina.
