Most upper-class and middle-class people are also working-class (because they work). There is not the exclusionary relationship that you imply. Perhaps you meant to say "lower-class". The lower-class, oddly enough, is the least working-class (as most of the unemployed, non-workers are in this group).
Your semantics are wrong. "Working class" may be a euphemism to avoid the condescension of "Lower class", but it is the class which is concerned with working, not it's members. Like a walking stick doesn't actually do any walking itself.
I would say that class consciousness in England is extraordinarily exclusionary, not least in newly-gentrified Stoke Newington, where the rocket guy was blasting around. I wonder what the clientelle at the Shakespeare pub is like these days.
That's why you check the volume. If volume is low then a stock's price is more erratic, and the spread is higher.
Obviously when SCOX did its latest slump the volume went up, then the stock rose on low volume. Stocks can do some very strange things when there are only a few people buying and selling them.
It's not the 1-button Macintrash mouse that's annoying, but the fact that the whole fucking mouse itself is the goddammed fucking button, save for 2 little places that you should grab to move the rodent about, giving you instant cramps because they're never at the proper, comfortable place.
There aren't '2 little places' to hold onto. You can move the whole mouse from any part of it. Consequently you don't get cramps either. Otherwise your post is entirely true, except for the troll parts (ie: 100% of it).
When a stock sharply declines it is usually largely caused by traders shorting it. When the best part of the decline is over, the traders have to close their short - ie: buy the stock they sold when they did the short. This can boost the price of the stock and is sometimes called a short bounce (and not because it is not long in duration).
So tell me this. If it is moving up, and towards you, and it's size does not change at all, then how are you going to time that and know how fast it is going?
Classically wrongheaded interpretation of graphic design. GD is about more than choosing fonts and phoning an illustrator up.
Good graphic design is about communicating through a number of different levels a complex negotiation between publisher and user. For example, good graphic design would determine when to use an icon, a text description, an image, a sound or an animation. Good design is a fundamental aspect of UI.
The interesting aspect of GUI work is that is hasn't had it's secession yet. Painting, photography, graphics, film (and other artforms) have experienced stages where they began as technical processes and eventually established themselves as forms of art.
You're almost right. You're thinking of the scene from "Cretaceous Park" where the little girl says "I know this, this is Linux!", shortly before a wooly mammoth (a kind of sabre-toothed tiger) chases them in their Subaru.
Like Bill Bryson, I always imagined England would have been the model Communist state. It has all the key points:
Industrial economy - unlike Russia or China or Cuba or Korea or Vietnam (at the time of their revolutions).
People accustomed to politely queuing - unlike Russia and Korea.
Suffocating class structure - unlike Cuba or Vietnam.
A Soviet Socialist Republic of Britain would have been quite well conducted, and, pace rock and roll, probably not as dreary as what has transpired.
I don't deny that the software foundations needed to be laid beforehand, but he's right on the money when he says that UI development is the hard part.
This is the reason UI is so bad. Think of the order you develop a product. At what point do you write the help?
The correct answer is 'first'. If you write the manual first, then make the software work the way that the manual says, you'll have a much more usable product than if the manual is playing catch-up with the application.
Consider a race between a top fuel dragster, a 1960s Chevy Chevelle SS, a Honda Civic SI, and a 4x4 Nissan pickup. In a straight 1/4 mile drag race, the top fuel dragster would beat the rest easily. However, if the race were longer than 2 or 3 miles or had sharp curves, the dragster would probably fall apart or crash. In that race, the Chevelle would win. In a thousand-mile road race the Civic would stand a better chance, because it can cruise almost as fast as the Chevelle, but gets 30 miles to the gallon instead of the Chevelle's 7. Depending on how long gas-station stops take, the Honda may have an edge. In any sort of off-road race, the 4x4 pickup would be the only vehicle to finish. Which one is "the fastest"?
The correct answer is A, the dragster. The dragster is the fastest because it looks the fastest.

In England you can only be eccentric if you are middle or upper class. If you're working class then you're insane.
I would like to know what's lacking in VRML. A lack of foresight[...]?
Despite literally thousands of man-years of effort, it was simply found to be unsuitable for delivering pornography.
You forgot to yell "you kids get off my lawn".
4000 lines per frame is higher resolution than 4000 dpi. A standard academy 35mm frame is 0.825" x 0.6".
You said: "about there G4 iMacs."
You meant: "about their G4 iMacs."
Dude, you're being totally pedantile.

so not always going down ;-)

What I can't believe is that SCO's stock is still almost double sun's... wtf?
Did IQ's just drop sharply while I was away?
Let's look at this number. 10.56% means squat. It's what the local news does.
You are almost, but not quite, entirely wrong. -10.56% is the most eloquent description of the events described.
I think when you said censatized you meant sensitized by which you meant desensitized and were really after the word inured.
Otherwise you're totally right.
So tell me this. If it is moving up, and towards you, and it's size does not change at all, then how are you going to time that and know how fast it is going?
You could count sonic booms.
I understand your plan to use a cement mixer as your capsule kind of puts the ick on big sponsorship deals, people thinking you're insane, etc.
Good luck anyway.
Yep, brainfart on my part.
Or rather, Sony tried to prevent adult entertainment companies using the VHS logo, thinking it would hurt the wholesome family appeal of the market.
If anything pornography doesn't just adopt new technology, it totally motivates it.
Graphic designers just make things look pretty

No matter how you slice it, this is bad news.
It's good news for people who like making fun of people who use Windows.

Q: How many desktop UI's do you have available to you?
A: One. Aqua
Q: How "customizable" is your interface (aqua).
A: pretty limited.
If you want to change the (very large) range of eye candy on OS X there are plenty of options. Check out Shapeshifter.
I'm not connected with the company that makes it, I just think it's neat.
This is so profoundly wrong. If the Russians didn't want to land men on the moon, why did they announce in 1962 that they intended to do just that?
The Russians did not land men on the moon because their plans were politically hashed and once they had developed a vehicle it was too late.

I'm almost tempted to believe that iTunes is a trojan horse for QuickTime
In those terms Windows is a Trojan cavalry.
