Now big business and the military will always be able to use it up. As will scientists and universities. But for the consumer this is talking about the day where your MP3 player stores millions of albums and is the size of a credit card... question is "how will you plug in the headphones"
Well...By that time, you won't have to worry about it because you'll be plugging your small mp3 player card/chip in to your favorite headphones:)
Sorry, My mistake. I read it the "I" as "It". And thought you were asking why the robot was programed to feel pain.
Of course. I read the artical a few time before I realised there was nothing about it being programed to feel pain;)
Still....interesting concept though.
No, you've got it all mixed-up. That's a boy fish. You throw those back unless you really know that you want to catch them.
No no, you don't throw them away. You may end up catching the same one again....You want to gut them and use them for bait. The other fish will never know.
I'm still not with you. I just read the artical again and all I'm seeing is a person writing an artical and commenting on/comparing the product.
If Toshiba wrote the artical themselves, then yes, that would be strange, but if you look at the top, it was written by MacCentral.com
Also, lots of people prefer opening new sites in new windows. Myself included.
But alot of us don't. Which is why you should let the user choose. Or even better, do what Google does and give you an option to have the windows open in a new window (if you get sick of right clicking each link).
The problem is the original. Just imagine, you walk into a chamber, stand there for a minute, and then the operator says "All ready, you've been copied, now be please so kind to walk to the wall and I will shoot you."
I was just thinking about that to. That has the all the makings of a good sci-fi movie. Some guy(s) who keeps teleporting himself, but is always killing himself to, each time he does it. Wonder what that would to do the soul (if it exists). Wonder if your soul would be part of each copy. Would it be fair and legal to kill you old copy? Since it is a person to. Wonder if the memories of dieing would build up each time you did it.
That's some fucked up shit that society isn't ready for yet. Lucky, we won't have to deal with it just yet.
No one in their right mind would choose a particular platform because this or that peripheral (iPod, big LCD monitor) has been crippled to only to work with that hardware, particularly in an age where you can wait for 6 months (maximum) and have it available for whatever platform you prefer.
Why not?
Maybe not many people will buy a mac just because of the iPod. But what if they have been thinking about switching beforehand, or they're getting a new PC soon? The iPod might be the thing that makes them decide to go Apple.
As for you financial analyst of Apple. The seem to be getting on just fine to me.
Uh, how the heck would you set up your layout without tables? For instance, how would you generate a page that looks like Slashdot without using nested tables?
It's not a perfect example, it won't fit in a small screen. But that's totaly fixable. It's just something that I've thrown together and played with. Adding indents for a comments layout (which I plan to do) is easy.
If you look at the source code. You will notice that it's very lean. Even the CSS file is lean. Much smaller than the/. HTML anyway. Also, if some of the code in there looks different (like the first artical), like I said before, this is only something I've been experimenting with, and there will be lots of bugs. Just want to make sure no one goes away thinking that CSS is crap or anything.
You'll also notice that I haven't got CLASS="foo" in all the tags, only some because of the way CSS can be used.
The other great thing is, if you wanted to put the side bar on the other side. It would take you less than 2 mins to do it. And you wouldn't even have to dick around with messy HTML, or in this case, even messier HTML within Pearl scripts.
Also, save only the HTML page to you disk. And open that file. Now you can see what it looks like without the CSS. Perfect for any browser including a PDA. And you can always have another CSS sheet for them if you want to change it.
BTW. You will need something like IE 6, Mozilla, or Opera 6 to view it properly. It will just look like plain vanilla HTML to NN 4.7 etc.
They were the people who said that Mozilla should give up and die, right?
Care to back that up with something? If not. I think you must have missinterperated something they said. 'Cause I've followed WaSP closly, and I find it hard to belive they'd say something like that.
I think it should be obvious that you are not the target audience for this promo. Most people only use one OS, and want to keep it that way.
After all, why would you want mulitple OS's if the OS your using does everything you need? It seems to me the only reson people use multiple OS's--even you--is because their isn't one OS that suits all your needs.
IMHO. If Palm OS 5 doesn't support higher resolutions with differnt aspect ratios. Then that have stuffed up big time. There is no way that I'm buying another Palm that has 160x160 or 320X320, or even 640X640. Most PDAs are not square. The OS should be more than capable of adjusting to any resolution.
See. I told you someone was gona tell me I'm full of shit;)
The technical side isn't important here. The fact is that the debugger window looks like a program in it's self. The quit is misleading/confusing because the user has to stop and think if it will only quite the debugger, or quit the whole suite.
There is nothing that obvious telling the user that the programs are linked (lets forget the fact the debugger has a live link of info to the browser content etc, because other apps like the mail client don't).
In my experience, a child window opened by the main window, doesn't have a title bar if it closes when the main window is closed (think of most toolbar palettes, documents etc). If it has it's own toolbar. It should be considered independent of whatever spawned it.
I've heard of macs, unfortunatly I've heard of windows to. As I said in another reply, the whole issue is irrelevant on the mac since there is only one menu bar to contend with.
Man, I've already had a coment about the speling....But this is/.! If the edditors are aloud to make imbarissing spelling misteaks, than the users shoud be alloud to spell bad too. If I want to stik a extra 'u' in, I shold beable to do it in peice.
That's *exactly* what the menu says on Mac OS X ("Quit Mozilla")...
Yes....But that's just a coincidence I think since all menus on OS X now have the application name add to the 'quit' part.
Of course, the whole thing is less of an issue on the mac since there is only one menu bar. Unlike windows (or Linux to?) where you have menu bars for each app (or each window in the case of apps like mozilla). I spose you could say the MS partly to blame for the confusion.
...unless you're organizationally challenged, and keep every file you've ever worked on in a single folder. If you're going to be dumb, you have to be patient.
You mean like/usr/bin or any other unix system folder?
When I was play around with Linux. The graphical file broswer that came with RedHat chocked to death when I deciced to see what was in the bin folder. It spluttered something about not being able to display more that 1000 files.
Have I been over estimating the intelligence of UNIX programmers all this time or something?:P
But it's not trivial. That the whole point! I work with files all the time....I scroll all the time: when browsing files, browsing the web, working on files. ALL THE TIME. And I wouldn't have to re-size windows all the time if OS X would keep things the way I made them. It's simply unacceptable that they have spent all this time on flashy stuff like transparent windows/menus, shadows, animations, etc when they haven't even got the most basic and important things working properly.
I have tried so hard to get a good workflow going. I've changed settings, habits, tried all sort of different things. But it still feels unproductive/slow/clumsy compared to my win2k box or OS 9. I understand that nothing is perfect, and that OS X is very new. But as I said before, they have had plenty of time to get things working, but they instead, spent it on flashy gimics that should really have be left untill last.
The original post is not flamebait. It a understandable complaint from someone who is a bit peeved off with Apple's priorities. They're to not the only one.
It still dosn't change the fact that it's missleading.
Maybe the whole thing need to be revised. Or atleast 'Quit Mozilla' so it's obvious that it going to quit the whole suite. I still think it's wrong, but atleast people will know exactly what it does.
It's great the some people like themes. But I can't stand them. For me to use Mozilla as my primary browser it has to have a nice simple interface like IE can.
I only have one bar, with a few menu buttons, the most used browser buttons, and the address bar. All on one line. I don't find it cluttured and it keeps out of the way and gives me more screen space for actual web pages.
That may not be to your liking. But my point? You can customise IE more than you can Mozilla, the skins only seems to change the style/look of the buttons and bars, and don't offer any options to add/remove/re-size/re-arrange things.

Uh... for much the same reason humans feel pain. So you try not to hurt yourself, and therefor survive.
No no, you don't throw them away. You may end up catching the same one again....You want to gut them and use them for bait. The other fish will never know.
How about a large supply of GHB and your favorite pub/nightclub?
(Of course, this is a joke. If anyone seriouly considers using date rape drugs, they deserve a swift kick up the ass....many times repeated)
I'm still not with you. I just read the artical again and all I'm seeing is a person writing an artical and commenting on/comparing the product.

Maybe YOU don't own a laptop. But OTHER people do. Sorry for having to point out the obvious.

Never had a problem with dashed vs. dotted. Sure you have the proper DOCTYPE in there?
It should look exactly like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
If it isn't right. IE will go into quirks mode.
But yes. IE still has some really annoying bugs. IMO it's still behind in standards when compared to any Mozilla based browser.
I think it should be obvious that you are not the target audience for this promo. Most people only use one OS, and want to keep it that way.
After all, why would you want mulitple OS's if the OS your using does everything you need? It seems to me the only reson people use multiple OS's--even you--is because their isn't one OS that suits all your needs.
After a few seconds on that thing. I imagine the snail would be come a nice, crispy escargot. Just add a tiny bit of butter and some garlic. Mmmmmm...
Spose we'll just have to wait and see.
Just checked it out....I have got to get myself one of those. I nave no really need for it, but the urge is overwelming. Then again, at $150...
