I've programmed over 30 years professionally. If there's every been an occasion, (on at least a medium sized project), where the choice of programming language wasn't pretty much dictated by some kind of requirements - I can't remember it.
You could emulate it with an ARM or something. 'Course I guess a substitution here and a subsitution there and pretty soon you may as well just play with a software emulator...
If I had mod points I'd give you one. As far as I can see I posted the only positive comment on the thread. I think the snooze feature sounds like just what I need.
This is crazy. I programmed PC's way back in the TRS-80 days. Yes, there was social stigma - the "nerd" archetype. The crazy part is it WAS discouraging but directly aimed towards us geeky guys who were doing it! Why is this now interpreted as something that specifically affected woman? MEN who had interest in programming were stereotyped and depicted as lifeless, sexless, unattractive, socially awkward, physically weak, and all-around laughable. (See characters in old films like "Revenge of the Nerds"). Is it supposed to be that men are happy to be characterized disparagingly and woman aren't?
I'm on an macbook air with the new Helvetica font. It looks crisp and clear and I was totally lovin' it when this popped up on my RSS feed.
Any application I use that requires study of small text, such as code editor or word processor, typically supports more than the default system font.
I want to like KDE. I want to love it. It's good looking. But, for some reason, even though it's like falling off a log to write bug free code with Qt, KDE programs and tools seems riddled with issues. I've had to pitch more KDE apps than I care to think about, (i.e. Amarok, KDevelop). So I end up running gnome applications anyway - I may as well have things consistent.
Anyway, I don't need or want much from a desktop other than to get out of my way and give me easy access to things. I just boot OpenBox with tint2 for a status bar and a customized popup menu. I've never been happier, not even on OSX.
...Even most KApplications, (not that there's anything wrong with Qt). My most recent adventure was with KDevelop. I finally pitched it when I split the editor window and there was no way to unsplit it again. I'm sure there's a fix out there somewhere, but enough already...
Agree*1000. I just run OpenBox with tint2, and a few misc.
I'm a believer in technological evolution and try to keep up with the latest stuff. But when the most critical features of something - like a desktop/UI - are it's simplicity, predictability, and unobtrusiveness, you just can't find ways to keep improving it without destroying it in the process. It's like trying to come out with a better hammer every year.
For #1, the article suggested that if you have it then your machine will contain the file/Library/Application Support/JavaW/com.JavaW
Guess I'd at least try getting rid of it for #2.
No hint on #3:(
I just setup my Linux development host to boot Openbox from.xinit and - to my surprise - have never been happier with any desktop including the one on the airbook I'm using to type this post. It really never occurred to me how little I need from a DE.
I'm starting to believe that the state-of-the-art in desktop environments is a silly pile of bloat. An application where simplicity and lack-of-clutter are critical attributes breaks under the weight of too many features.
The problem with desktops is they're bloated. I just blew-off Mint on my development Linux machine and log right into Open-Box. I did barely touch the config file once. It's my favorite desktop now over OSX or Windows.

It makes sense. Don't think "significant" like "important". Think "significant" as opposed to "insignificant".

Thank you. It's refreshing when someone bashes both sides in this pathologically two-sided society of ours.
I don't think there are other reasons to consider CO2 a pollutant.

I'd use the *hell* out of that snooze feature...
It was more than one guy,

Just get Qt for whatever computer you have and target Windows and Mac and Linux...
Until you want to do a distribution upgrade :(

I am typing this very post on my TRS-80 Color Computer (CoCo). Nothing else will ever come close...

...does this mean I can smoke?
