Considering spinning a bunch of virtual box environments running 7 tonite to upgrade them to 10 just to have sitting around for testing - anyone have any thoughts on that?
I find it interesting someone produces a research report on who's running what version of Android as if the consumer (and we are talking about consumers - that mass market they referred to) has any choice. I run whatever Verizon pushes out to my Moto Droid Maxx. Don't tell me no one is using the new OS...tell those who decide what version we use.
Um...last time I checked people liked McD's coffee because...wait for it...it was hot. And when you went through the drive through the coffee would still be hot enough to be hot on your tounge when you got to your desination, or a few miles down the road, or after you've eaten your food...
I beg to differ, ever try using shortcuts on anything other than a QWERTY? A BIG problem with switching to Dvorak is most common keyboard shortcuts aren't convenient.
You're obviously one of those short sighted right handed people. Those short cuts are all inconvient for a left handed person.
Interestingly, Lotus Domino uses a feature where as each attempt fails, the password prompt is delayed by a number of seconds. The delay increases exponentially, but never completely locks the user out. After a set period (minutes), the delay goes away and you start again. VERY effective in blocking brute force attacks...
As it is, one of the newer Intel P4's with hyperthreading, coupled with a pair of SATA drives and fast memory will blow this thing out of the water on almost every count.
except one...price. read carefully, he didn't pay for the 450, it was free.
Being raised on Windows, I've found CDE is the only window manager on my university's Unix network that I can stand. It behaves the closest to the Windows 95 environment I cut my teeth on. (that X-windows-style thing where the window with the mouse pointer in it gets the focus? Gah, I'd rather die!)
You mean you like click to focus? Gah, I'd rather die. My only complain with MacOS has been click to focus and autoraise, I hate both! just let me point at the window I want and type.
Well, I have sparc hardware that linux doesn't support...I like my sparc hardware and until I someone ports linux drivers to all the little fiddly bits I need I'll stick with code that words as opposed to code that doesn't exist.
Besides, they're paying me for my Solaris skills, I can't get this much money for Linux.
If you would go back and read all the original material you'll realize they are working on taking openoffice apart. It's not there now, but I've seen little opensource software that is as "user polished" as most commerical software. The companies have to sell something to the average comsumer, and the consumer wants polished software. The opensource community (term used loosely) has a long way to go in this regard.
Internet Explorer on the MAC has nothing to do with Microsoft. It's developed, published, and installed by Apple.
What on earth gave you that silly idea? Apple bundles IE for the OS they sell just like Compaq/HP and Dell bundle it for the OS they sell - oh that's right, Compaq/HP and Dell don't get a choice.
While I don't expect a lawyer to understand many people do their jobs because they enjoy the work itself, the money is a side issue
Coders code for the same reasons writers write, painters paint, sculpters sculpt, and musicians play music. They engage in those activities because it fills a creative void in their lives and the sense of accomplishment that comes with sucessfully solving the problem.

you quote an article that's almost 18 months old as news???
One of the biggest problems with the current AT-keyboard layout is the ordering
of digits on the numeric keypad.
Walk into your account's office and look at their adding machine...that's why there is a numeric keypad at all attached to the computer keyboard.

the one thing Lotus Domino did correctly...

JPriest, thank you for the trip down memory lane. What a riot seeing old friends names in those posts. You made my Saturday night!
Petman,
Even if they mod me down as redundant you deserve a "well said".
Well said.
I'm an admin for a small consulting company where all my co-workers are j2ee folks, they all love tibco.

Why don't I use Linux?

KDE is on one of the other CD's that are included in current Sol8 distributions.
So you really are admiting you can't read.

Do any of you all know how to read? It's called Star/OpenOffice. It's a bit more than just a wordprocessor...
