Even if you attracted UI people to the OS world, you would not be able to keep them with the current developer attitudes ("well, here's the code, submit a patch!"). Remember UI people tend not to be coders and can not supply patches.
check http://kinesissoftware.com/index.html for a way to generate SWFs (open format, as opposed to FLAs which are closed) from XML. Use all of the existing tools you like and stop whining.
SVG is going to be great, I can't wait. But I also can't stand whiners.
AMEN! QA can't tell if it is behaving as it should if it doesn't know EXACTLY what the software should and should not do. DOCUMENTATION. This is what OSS needs.. but this is by far the least fun so the least likely thing to ever find in a project. Oh well.
from their own site...http://www.unicast.com/gallery/gallery_over page.asp and http://www.unicast.com/gallery/gallery.asp# Mozil la firebird prevented it from displaying any of their ads, even when I directly clicked the link to see the ads!
and on the one gallery page that popups actually worked http://www.unicast.com/gallery/gallery_inpage.asp# i got a new popup, but no AD! it looks like a great service.. good luck unicast.
I agree, a simpler install, upgrade, uninstall method is needed. I think AppDirs are a great step in that direction. Rox has em... check it out. I would LOVE it if KDE started to use AppDirs... and drag and drop save as well for that matter:)
Having them as an integrated component of one's being does.
Ok... you better define some of those big terms you are throwing around. I know that I have a daughter is an integrated component of my being, but she does not live inside me. Mann has pretty much integrated his gear into his being. He wears the stuff everywhere all the time. It alters the way he thinks and behaves. It even screws him up when he takes it off. It is a part of what he is.
a better match might be using jabber and the p Publish-Subscribe extention (http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0060.html) to allow users to subscribe to a resource and then allow the resource to announce when it has updated, creating a push notification. You could receieve the notice using a standard jabber client, but eventually someone could make an aggregator with an integrated jabber client that would handle your news subscription. Then when you start it up, you poll, and then as long as it is open you don't need to poll until you recieve a publish notification. At that point the client could automatically poll the source for you and you would always have the latest stuff. (of course if 1000's of people all poll at the same moment, you may have some good lag:) )
Not that I am a MS fan, I think the thing the rep was trying to say was that IF the government goes all Linux and makes a LAW that it is only Linux that is allowed for Gov. or Business, then they have lost their freedom to choose.
Man... RTFM... this isn't to replace perl. It's to make development of web apps in languages like perl EASIER.
And as for w3c "standards" these are not plug-ins and are not called standards because they are supported by everything.. hell, they don't even call 'em standards, they call them recomendations.
These are layed out so that people creating the browsers of tomorrow can work together to prevent any more messed-up-browser-detection-required-scripting-shi t that happend during the browser wars and is a fact of life still today for most web developers.
Don't worry, now that it is a W3C Proposed Recommendation, browsers like mozilla will start to work towards it, and then someone talented will write a perl module so that you too can start using Xforms with even more ease of use in your favourite language, than you currently have using plain old s!
Not everyone needs their own SERVER... setting up an EMAIL is not much easier. Installing and running a CLIENT is about as easy as setting up and installing an EMAIL CLIENT.
Open standard. XML based. server side transports. can be used for more than just IM (games etc. can use the same protocol, and it won't get a chat msg and a chess move mixed up) you can ENCRYPT! as well as SSL... (This is great for large companies who don't want all of their communications being routed through Microsoft or AOL)
I work as a QA Specialist, and am appalled at the state of software that I see out in the wild. Either there is no testing, not enough testing, or those testing are simply doing an insuffiecient job. I suspect a bit of all three. Testing helps a ton in catching those mistakes that are inevitable.

arrrg... a REALLY great game community site (darn html...)
this guy has NO clue. if you are REALLY looking for great family games... check out a great community game review site and purchase some really great family games like Settlers of Catan or Carcassonne which are both "German" games.

you mean like EMAIL?

I am dying for full PNG support in all major browsers... the 256 levels of transparency alone make it worth while!
Jabber offers SSL.. and if you pick your clients well, JAJC for example, you can even use full PGP protection. Go for the OPEN standard. Go Jabber!
