Windows 95-Windows 7 was a popular, well designed UI, that was indeed popular and actually was well designed. Emulating the taskbar start menu model made since becasue they are actually practical, well thought out models that made sense. Windows 8 is a total disaster, for pretty much everyone from a programmer to granny. So trying to emulate that has simply extended the disaster to Gnome.
No, its not that this younger generation is any wiser (they are not), its just that the movies being produced today are unappealing garbage compared to what they were 25 years ago. They are appealing to the lowest common intellectual denominator and that is seems to be why, the movies are filled with sugar filling of expensive special effects with little sophistication. The action and violence is vastly overdone and grotesque. The themes are either artificially saccarine or often far too graphic. Overall for me it has made seeing a movie such a disgusting thing I stay away.
I grew up in the 1980s, seeing Back to the Future, Batman (1989), the Original Star Trek movie series, non sci fi such as Funny Farm, and so on, which I always find far more pleasant and to have a feel about them that seems more down to earth than the stuff made today. Even the lesser rated 80s movies like Nothing But Trouble are better than what is generated today.
That is a very ignorant statement. Anyone who loves america will support snowdon because he is exposing those who are destroying the country, those destroying it in many ways, not just this case, but others as well. I would say the majority who found what Snowden did to be legitimate are those who absolutely do respect the constitution, but also the US itself, the sovereignty of its people and the protection of the USA from invasions (in any form) and so on. For reasons I will discuss later, it is hard these days to miss the fact that the US government itself nowadays is complicit in aiding and abetting the enemy and commiting acts against the people of the USA by assisting in violation of their sovereignty over their exclusive territorial domain, with the intent of dispossessing and crowding out the countries founding group from the country they founded and fought for, and has turned against such people (IRS, NSA, Bengazi, Airport Patdowns), treating them as an enemy, while aiding the invaders who are stealing their country from them, often by giving foreign invaders immunity from the deprivation the countries traditional populations are subjected to (note the instances where while grandmas and little kids are being groped in airports the Obama administration has exempted Muslims from scrutiny). Note that snowden did not wantonly release documents to attempt to damage the NSA by blowing the cover of NSA people by exposing their names, but only specifically those necessary to expose the crimes to the American people. Note for instance, that the Bush II administration commited true crimes of treason by intentionally orchestrating the outing of Valerie Plame as a retribution act against her husband for being a vocal critic of the Iraq War. This shows something that is quite concerning, that the rule of law has broken down and that the government now feels itself to be above the law. This has created a condition where the government has unlimited power and the people increasingly have little. This is also shown with the IRS scandals and so on, which do extend all the way to Obama, which are worthy of impeachment of the president, and yet Obama apparently can commit these crimes and get away with it because he is above the law the, laws do not apply to him, so he cannot break any law. I have heard it said that Snowden should have gone to a congressman. This is nonsense. The American people absolutely have a right to know of the crimes of their government and the government itself of course should not be given the authority to decide whether or not the people should be alerted to the governments own crimes. In fact, congresspeople already knew about the crimes that were occuring months earlier, most of them were willingly and agreeingly helping to cover it up, only two of them gave the most vague read between the lines references. Often due to secrecy laws, it would be impossible for a congressman to alert the people to these crimes themselves and perhaps they would be in even hotter water than Snowden for doing so. Whistleblower laws are designed specifically to provide for the public to be alerted to crimes of government, especially since it is likely the government itself is often so corrupt from one end to the other internally that it is unlikely that such corruption would be rooted out internally. The fact is if congressman being aware of the crimes would have resulted in them being addressed, they would not have continued, and yet they were continueing as Snowden exposed. If Snowden had gone to a congressman nothing at all would have happened because the congresspeople themselves already knew of these programs for long periods of time, if they were going to put an end to it they would have already. Also, the people have a right to know when such a crime has occured whether or not it is effectively dealt with internally. The fact that these crimes have been exposed and it is clear that they are major breaches of the Constitution, and yet almost nothing subtaintial has been done about it by any branch of government,
Dont torture yourself trying to use some unusual paradigm in order to implement something in some faddish, newfangled NoSQL database when doing it in SQL will be easier, especially because someone heard some hype about something like MongoDB and thinks it must be used without really understanding if it is really better than SQL.
Don't be silly. The dealer does add value in providing the show room and the real estate for you to go look at the cars o see what you want. If car manufacturers sold directly, the car manufacturer would provide all of these things and they would be added to the cost of the car anyway. And, you would have no choice on what dealer to go to, the car manufacturer would be the dealer too. With the current system you have a choice of what dealer to go to, and that is your market force, consumers will go to what dealer provides the best value and service. So your idea that there is some sort of non-market thing at work here is wrong, having the dealer and manufacturer seperate actually increases your market choices. The market thrives when we avoid vertical integration, vertical integration would actually stifle your options.
The IMPP name has already been used by the IETF for its own standard IM protocol. Its really something that they would have accidentally chosen the same name of an already existing protocol.
A very positive development, to be able to get away from flash and that nasty proprietary plugin. With Adobe basically thumbing their nose at Linux users, getting away from flash is something that ought to be encouraged. So When will Firefox add this for those who prefer that browser?
This article must be flamebait. Google didnt invent much, there were dozens of search engines when it came around. Web mail was already thought up when it came around. Even facebook didnt invent, the profile thing had already been implemented by numerous other people. It was mainly marketing and repackaging of existing ideas. All innovation has come from three companies? Give me a break,
I meant to say we could be facing the extinction of brown haired/blonde haired, white skinned people. This is the result of intention al government policies and actions that constitute a genocidal program of extermination against the white race. it does not have to be this way and we can and need to stop this to preserve global racial diversity, by stopping immigration, prohibiting miscegenation that threatens to destroy races, and requiring governments to take actions to incentivize above replacement level birth rates.
Its important to note that nearly all population growth is occuring among black, asian and other non white populations. The white population of the world is basically going extinct because the birth rates in Europe are so low that they are half of what is needed just to maintain the white-european population. Many others have pointed this out, that the statistics an data clearly show that th white race is in very serious population decline and is dying out. Added to this would be the effects of miscegenation which accelerate the extinction of the white race. The birth rate crisis in those countries has been caused, intentionally, by the policies of governments of those countries, such as tax policies that discourage having children. The problem is compound and is caused by several factors including the promotion of radical feminism that discourages women from taking on motherly responsibilities, the availability of contraceptives, and the fact that so many farming and manufacturing middle income jobs have gone away. This has resulted in middle income jobs that did not require a college education disappearing. This has increased burdens on families to afford college education and has contributed to birth rate crisis.
It is clear that what must be done is to increase the birth rates in europe by incentivizing white Europeans to have more children to bring birth rates up above replacement level there and to end immigration.
Otherwise, we could be facing the extinction of blue eyed, blond/brown skinned people. ironically, the white race is the most unique of the planets races, yet it is the one that is clearly going extinct due to gthe genocidal policies of governments. Clearly, immigration, wars on white fertility are being used as weapons against white people to destroy their race. This is being done by people who claim to be for "diversity". They are not. They are trying to destroy diversity by destroying the most unique race on the planet in an effort to elimate and erase human diversity. Immigration threatens to destroy diversity, in no way does it promote human diversity. For instance, lets say we dumped a million arabs into Japan. Arabs already have their own culture in the middle east, doing this would only damage the uniqueness of Japan and threaten the unique identity of the Japanese people. The arabs and japanese remain more distinct and unique if they remain in different countries than they would if we did the above. This general principle applies everywhere.
Just today the US census has basically said that white americans are going extinct, white people are not having enough children just to maintain their own population level, as a result white people will become a minority of the US population by 2043 if this continues.
What we are seeing here is the result of specific, intentional policies carried out by governments and institutions to attack, oppress, and marginalise, and carry out what amounts to a genocidal program of extermination against the white race, to render them shrinking minorities in their own country so they can be oppressed. Mass immigration is clearly part of an agenda to destroy white america rooted in pure racist hatred of white people. I oppose anything that would cause the destruction or reduction of population of any race in whole or in part due to any means, because I believe all races are equally valuable and I oppose anyone that would want to destroy or threaten our races. Due to intentional governmental and institutional policies, including an intentional war on family values and an economic war on the white race, there has been a engineered attack on and collapse of the white birth rate, which is far below replacement level. at the same time, policies, incljuding immigration, are a part of a compound problem designed to cause the annihilation of the white race and to cause white, blonde haired, blue eyed people to become an engangered species by blending the race out of existance through a combination of an immigration invasion of white countries, and inter
Just a big waste of taxpayer money for something purely cosmetic. It would a frivolous waste of money we dont have to fix something thats not broken. I already pay too many taxes as it is. We need to stop spending on frivolous crap like this. It would confuse the hell out of everyone and there are no real reasons or benefits, just nonsense excuses. I actually find the english system to be perfectly fine and useable on road signs. No need to fix something thats not broken. Take your awkward, unnatural metric system back to europe where it belongs. i like the mile and foot just fine and I actually prefer this on our signs.
Most companies already label their products with both systems which is just fine. As for roadsigns, the cost would be far too great, and it wouldnt be worth it for what is basically a cosmetic change, and I think would actually make things worse, I do not think metric is a better system in daily use. I also find the English miles unit size to be more natural, it may be because the English system developed out of practical use in daily applications while the metric was designed rather divorced from these things for scientific purposes. We are all very used the English system and easily can understand and visualize its units, why fix something that works just fine because it doesnt fit some purists subjective idea of symettricity.
I actually think the English system is better for daily use, the measurement units seem more natural to me than the metric ones. Metric is better for science applications. I am not for wasting resources and adopting a Metric system which has unit sizes which while may seem more logical are actually far more awkward.
government agencies already do use metric system inside the government. However, a government cannot ban private companies from using another system other than metric.
So I am opposed to any further move away from the English units.
Its memory usage that is such a great problem for me, not really the issue of CPU time. If chrome is constantly cuasing disk caching because of the enormous memory usage, that is going to cause massive speed degredation, which is far greater than any 5% decrease in CPU time by an algorithm. I wish Chrome had a feature for not storing uncompressed copies of image if they are off screen and would fix the massive memory holes. Really no reason a browser should use more than 5-10 MB of RAM per open tab.
Having two branches does not necessarily have to slow things down, it may actually speed things up by allowing an alternative possibility where new features can be tried if they are not accepted to the other project. As long as the two projects coordinate to make sure improvements can easily moved between the two projects, it can be a win.
Firefox isnt meant to be a super lightweight browser but one that can render anything. A lightweight browser would be an unuseable browser for normal people. If you want a lightweight browser try Dillo. The UI code and the rendering code probably consumes very little at runtime compared to all of the image data that is being stored in memory, anyway.
Was that really why a new browser architecture was created. It may have been simply due to the fact the old rendering engine did not structurally support document reflow well, without creating a huge second systems effect anyway, which would lead to obfuscation problems. The old rendering engine may have been fine for what it was designed to do.
Its the optimization phase that takes up a lot of RAM. Id rather they skip the optimization phase rather than damage features and functionality. If firefox wont render pages well, i would give up on it.
puttting each program in its own directory is an absurdly bad idea. Then you would end up with a massive PATH variable and also does not follow the time honored Unix tradition which needs to be respected. For allowing multiple versions of the same program I would prefer to see some other solution, one possibility might involve putting symlinks in/usr/bin to program files into another directory where different versions of the program can be stored. the different versions of the program could be accessed in the seperate directory holding multiple versions and the symlink from/usr/bin would point to the default version.
With the Windows 8 disaster it is a shame that Ubuntu cannot really push to get PC makers to offer it as an alternative to Windows 8. The problem is that the Ubuntu Unity UI is as bad as windows 8 and repeats the exact same mistakes. Perhaps Linux Mint could get into negotiations with a PC maker since it still has a sane UI. Both Gnome 3 and Unity, like Windows 8, are fucked up useability disasters. It really is harder for users to learn them. I have seen new users who took easily to start menu and task bar throw their hands up at Windows 8 and Unity alike. The task bar and start menu model really does just work and is easy to use. at some point things get so perfected there is no need fr improvement and an attempt to change something will make it worse. That is the case with the start menu/taskbar model which is really simply a useable model for most users and is perfected. MS, unity are messing with the UI for the sake of change, but when the UI was fine before, change has made it much worse. Change for the sake of change is absurd.Also, they need to learn that desktop and mobile require completely different UIs.
