When you pull water out of the air, you change the downstream environment substantially. Hot dry winds suck the moisture out of what they pass over, the ground, plants, etc, and things burn.
Knowing how this will affect down flow areas is critical, lest they create more problems than they fix.
To me, that type of data layout is much more readable. And you can even parse it to compress the data into a lookup table so that when transmitted, it takes up less space.
If one were to create a viewer to display and the properties and data with intending, it is not that hard at all.
Visually, this looks more compact and readable (to me). Transmission-wise, there is less text inticating the opening and closing tags resulting in a less bandwidth heavy solution.
Sure, I use XML but when compared to Lingo's prop lists, I really don't get the appeal of XML as a data storage format.
Copying files to the internet, to an iDisk or logged onto my static IP from ANYWHERE does what I mentioned. El bummero majoro grande.
Also, I thought "Put Away" was stupid but after moving files around and putting them in the trash and the desktop, it's nice to just have the finder "put them back where they were last. Sometimes a feature can exist for years that ou never use but when you finally do, it works for you.
FYI, a trick in the open folder to show files that haven't appeared yet is to create a new folder and then delete it. Lame but it works. Also, with some of these files that are created that are several gigs and the finder thinks are 128 K, doing a "Get Info" properly shows the file's size but STILL the Finder doesn't update the size readout. It's "Even More Lame!(TM)".
In OS 9, files in the finder uset to update as they were being created. As the file gets bigger, the finder entry updates. All too often, this only happens if the file has been clicked on in an open window. So a 1 G file looks like it is 128 K.
Yes, it completely sucks.
Also, often when copying files up to a volume on the Internet, the status says 5 seconds left, then writes "closing file" for the next 7 minutes.
Complete stupididy.
Finally, many times, files are written into folders that are open and they do not appear at all until the folder is "dirtied" somehow. It's really great to have a friend across the world, open a folder, you copy something into it and he can't see it at all.
I was at Macromedia when we licensed the MP3 technology from Fraunhofer in 1995 and saw this happen. There is no date of the file on the link you posted so I can't verify if this was written before what I saw happen.
Just because it works on Win 3.1 doesn't mean it was written when Win 3.1 was released.
From Wikipedia: Later, on July 7, 1994 the Fraunhofer Society released the first software MP3 encoder called l3enc. The filename extension.mp3 was chosen by the Fraunhofer team on July 14, 1995 (previously, the files had been named.bit). With the first real-time software MP3 player Winplay3 (released September 9, 1995) many people were able to encode and playback MP3 files on their PCs. Because of the relatively small hard drives back in that time (c.500 MB) the technology was essential to store non-instrument based (see: tracker and midi) music for listening pleasure on a computer.
This happened in September which was actually at least a month after what Macromedia had created.
The first MP3 player ever made was probbably made using Soundedit 16 and Director Shockwave as.SWA files were MP3 with extra header information.
The first licensee of MP3 from Fraunhofer was Macromedia and they called it SWA. This was around mid 1995 IIRC.
I'm sure Buzz Kettles from Macromedia and Murat Konar were the first people to create MP3 playback and they did it through Shockwave.
The first multi song MP3 player was written in Director 5 in late 1995 and it allowed the user to select any song from a certain CD, The Chemical Brothers' Exit Planet Dust. It was demoed by Phil Shiller who at that time worked on the Director time at Macromedia. Back then, it was compressed at a bit rate of 96 kbps so that it would fit on a 100 MB drive which at time cost around 200 dollars.
Gates may be rich but he has the charisma of tarantula with mange.
He still protrays the "whiney geek that used to get beat up in high school" persona.
Now, compare his persona to that of a kid who was told by his stepfather that "he'd never amount to anything", Larry Ellison. Or even better, Richard Branson.
Does NewScientist post dups? Scientific American? Nature?
The fact that most of US read slashdot and know the content better than the staff is SAD and makes slashdot look unprofessional and shoddy if its own editors can't detect whether the same article has been already posted or not.
Simple.
And no, I'm not a troll, but after years of bitching about this, it is getting rather pathetic.
Slashdot editors should be required to READ SLASHDOT BEFORE EDITING.
I stand on the mountaintop, valiantly looking forwards to that one day in the distant future when technology shall have advanced far enough that slashdot's submission system actually automatically rejects the articles that are dups. Let the children sing their praises of that day; that day in the very distant future; that day when we are finally shall be free.
Either that or a lot of cheap labor monitoring graphics coming in.
It didn't seem real to me but within seconds, he disappeared from my iChat and and he told me that "I got him disconnected" later when we chatted next.
One of my friends (some famous game developer) was messaging me from China on iChat.
I said to myself, "gee, I wonder if China really does censor material and boot people off the internet for looking at nonapproved material?"
So I sent him a jpeg of some hot naked chick.
"Blip!" His account was almost immediately disconnected.
Later, from another connection, he told me "thanks for being an asshole and getting me disconnected from the internet. They censor stuff over here ya know."
At least he now knows that I wield complete control over his internet connectivity as long as he stays in China.
Mmm no. I packed up the Quad and drove to the local Apple Store on Knox Henderson where the drive was replaced after simply plugging it into other machines caused them to KP.

Yep, since the parent didn't and left everyone guessing.

That it is possible to unearn your citizenship through repeat violent crime.
Lingo's property lists are not limited to two levels deep.
I just didn't want to spend too much time typing in sub lists.
You're correct about it not being easily readable but then you have a simple intent based displayer. I wrote one in 1995.
It's not that hard. Like 7 lines of code maybe?
For a verbose format, it sure is a pain to read.
...]
For a verbose format, it sure is wasteful of bandwidth in transmission.
Just some observations.
As someone who has used Director's property lists for a long time, it makes me wonder why people use XML at all.
Director property list:
[property:value,
[prop: [prop:val, prop:val,... ] ]
[#imageIndex: 123, #rect: [0,0,320,240], #tags: [ "kitten", "feline", "edible" ], "Main Author": "Alex The Complainer"]

Doh! I forgot to mention, have you tried PathFinder?
I do use it along with the Finder since it is rather less sucky yet a bit more complex.
Cheers.

Where is the friendlyness of the PRE OS X Finder?
What happened to "put away"?
God, I hate the Finder.

Well ya. But the first licensee and the first publicly available implementation are another matter.

It is not professional.
How about hell no?

Branson would be a rock star of a president.

Dude, my buddy visits there often and is moving to Shanghai in 5 days.
From what I have been told, there is some extent of real time monitoring of internet traffic.
Ok. He was on a train. We were exchanging chat and files.
As soon as I sent him porn, he got disconnected and could not reconnect. In fact, his reconnect attempts were denied.
I, as a human being, observe this as a deliberate action.
Either that or a lot of cheap labor monitoring graphics coming in.
It didn't seem real to me but within seconds, he disappeared from my iChat and and he told me that "I got him disconnected" later when we chatted next.
Weeeel, I was as amazed to see it as he was.
I've got no reason to lie about this.
One of my friends (some famous game developer) was messaging me from China on iChat.

MUAHAHAAHHAAAA.
Umm, because it's broke.
Leave your lunch around for 70 millon years. It will be all brokedy too.
Ya, it looked familiar.
I reagard this as proof tht dinosaurs existed in the distant past since a year seems SOOOO long ago.
But... ... I have no faith.
Mmm no. I packed up the Quad and drove to the local Apple Store on Knox Henderson where the drive was replaced after simply plugging it into other machines caused them to KP.
Quads are heavy. Keep your box.
