Hum...I sense some bad faith here...The Print function is located on the first of the only 2 buttons that the Chrome UI has besides the navigation ones. Granted it can take up to 30s to find it the first time. And the shortcut..The almighty and ubiquitous Ctrl-P....present in almost every application since the birth of operating systems that can handle a mouse and a printer.
I'm really trying but I don't see where the Chrome UI design failed in this matter.
I might just be rehearsing what your post says, but yes...In essence....Me too....
I had an IPod Touch for 2 years. Nothing but music went on it at the cost of hours and hours of painfully trying to deal with ITunes. In 2 years, no way to put a homegrown app on the damn thing, even after f***ing with it (sorry, jailbreaking..).
Got a brand new HTC hero last month, added my own Android application the next day, developed at no cost but my own time, while copying/pasting my music folders directly on the device.
What really did it for me and when I started puking on my IPod Touch is when the self-appointed righteous knight of good morale told the world last week that HE decides what goes on an IPod/IPhone and what does not. A closed device AND a closed dickhead telling me how I should use it, no way.
I'd agree with you but how do you know your computers are "clean"?
That's basically the only reason I have an antivirus on the Windows box - to be 95% sure, not 80 something %.
That's a lot of "points" that you admit you haven't "seen". I personally don't see your point in your text, and definitely not why "Gizmodo should hire him"...Gizmodo fucked up just like any tabloid would do to get 1 more reader, and in so doing, put themselves as low as said tabloids. It's definitely not their most glorious moment. But I guess you don't see my point.
I am not Jordanian so I should not really care. However, your view of a country you have never been, barely heard of and which you can't probably point on a map, is a little blind....You also shouldn't mention Israel if you don't like being flamed, since it has no relevance with the FA. I know ignorance is bliss but you shouldn't abuse of it.
So Scrabble didn't resist the push to dumb the rules down to the simplest so they can make more money rather than provide a game which might provide a glimpse of education to the unwashed masses.
Can't say it's not the trend unfortunately but what exactly is Scrabble going to be if you can just put any word on the board? Proper nouns are usually made up....there's no reference such as a dictionary, so basically, it's Free For All Scrabble:
Next edition will be "random Scrabble": pick up letters, throw them in random order on the board, count points where the letters land. Win.
The gaming table I want has a touch surface on it so my stacks of 15 infantry, 2 squad leaders and 5 armor don't fall off when I try to move them while playing Squad Leader since everything will be drawn on the surface. Plus my opponent won't wipe the whole board trying to show me there is no LOS between my stack and his punny 3-stories building where his units cowardly hide waiting to shoot at me during "defensive fire phase".
Yet, the table frame in the FA is great:D
You have no idea what you're talking about, and what you write is insulting to people who need more than "routine stuff" at "30-something" and to those who provide health care. Maybe you should go live in Canada for a while to get some fresh air in your brain. It sounds very much rotten at the moment.
The article you linked doesn't mention WHY the Prime Neufie went to US, besides getting a "reknowned expert". it doesn't also mentions how much the Prime Neufie is going to pay his 3 weeks in USA (which is probably going to be around the 100 thousand dollars).
However, we're talking about the general population here, and Prime Neufie doesn't fit in the general population. He's very wealthy and can afford what he wants. Most people don't and get FREE health services instead. Maybe not BETTER than the "reknowned expert" but better than "GTFO my hospital, you have no insurance".
I'm usually polite on/. but this time, I'm going to ask you to go fuck off with your blinded conservatism and go eat english biscuits with your tea party friends.
When you have 4 kids, 2 of whom have learning disabilities and cannot hold a conversation to talk about "stuff" at 12 years old, as a parent you tend to focus on those 2 kids, leaving the 2 others a bit more alone. Sure as hell you cannot be on their back 24h a day.
But thank you for your/.otter advice on parenting. I'm sure that you have an extensive experience on that matter, and you're at the right place to discuss such things.
One of the questions that we are sure everyone is going to ask is whether or not EveryDNS will remain free. While we don't 100% have that answer yet, we do know that we are going to discontinue new sign-ups in the near future, listen to your feedback and be in touch.
You have to agree that when a business holder says this, it usually because he doesn't want to make a stance or wants an exit door. All this says is that it will remain free "for now" with no promise of anything. The fact that your CEO announces that new sign-ups are closed says something about accepting more non-paying customer on top of existing ones...I don't buy the "Oh, we're just waiting for your feedback" argument. To me, it's a cover-your-ass post, nothing more.
As much as I would like to go with your CEO views, there is nothing that DynDNS did/does for me as a customer that would make me confident in that regard.
As a former DynDNS user, I can assure everyone that the answer will be NO in the not-so-distant future. They've already done it.
DynDNS has stopped offering services for free and became overly expensive...suddenly...overnight...or so.
This is actually not good news. Something that used to be nice (aka "cool") and free (aka "beer") is now sold to people who stopped caring about services to go for....oh...PROFIT...I forgot that...
I'd agree mostly...besides the a) Competence. Getting into management positions rarely have to do with being competent. Actually, it's the Peters principle: the higher you get in the hieararchy, the less competent you are going to be at doing your job, since you were doing it so well beforehand. You stop getting higher when you're no longer competent for the position and you stay there. Makes for a lot of non-competent people.
B) is more accurate: you need to show that your attitude is changeable according to whom you speak and pat the right bear at the right time. Makes for a lot of faked attitudes. This is sometimes called "politics".
If you're self-employed, think twice before charging all those hours but charge a fee anyway. If you're not, you make yourself available to the company during off-hours. That takes a huge toll on your life which must be rewarded/taken back somehow. Usually, between an individual and a company, this is done through money. The company must pay for your on-call time, period. For one thing, it'll prevent abuses or you get paid for being abused.
Software engineers are technology enablers who provide the upward momentum that will ultimately allow for better streamlining the business' intelligence, and enhance the overall intrinsic quality as well as the underlying subjective, perceived, value of the company and its products.
Leveraging synergies is just gibberish talk to impress the customer base....This guy must be in marketing.
I would strongly argue that supermarket music makes for a "pleasant environment", but that's just me. In my opinion, producers of that sort of *noise* should actually PAY the supermarket who annoys the heck out of their customers with such low quality pieces of so called "music".
Actually, it has a name, it's called Musak.
Yes incompetence looks like the primary cause here. Whoever hides the access to administrative functions of anything by simple javascript on a web page should be at best fired.
It is quite amazing to see how many programmers are just totally clueless about the technology they're using. It's just appauling.
I had the same great experience. For two days. It was so great I wanted to throw Ubuntu out.
Then it started BSOD-ing like crazy, while it close-to-never happened with the XP installation on the same machine. Granted it was Windows 7 RC1 but that really didn't look good.
I managed large labs of Windows PCs and Macs in an academic research environment
I worked in an academic environment recently and moved out from it. Those people think they know about IT but few people actually do. Do you happen to have a real-life experience to tell? You know where people do things professionally without just thinking they do?
I'm saying that because your counter-arguments against the OP is either "I don't need it", or "Well...yeah, Apple does it too". There is zero thing you've wrote that would make your point more valid than the OP
Most critically I know when idiot trolls like you are full of crap.
There we go, Academia land is full of people who think they know...
Slashdot Mirror
I'm really trying but I don't see where the Chrome UI design failed in this matter.
It's really not that complicated... You have a boss who makes the rules
Oh yeah. With your logic, here is a small sample of what can happen and the sweet consequences that follow.
I reckon my examples are a little extreme, but the sheep mentality such as yours causes more troubles than it solves problems.
Unless you define "Nobody" as "You" (or "I" for the matter), your statement is gross generalisation...

I can also sum up my post as follows
- (1) Make game

- (4) PROFIT!!!

Yes, but on the upside that you have to live in Canada now.
You have no idea what you're talking about, and what you write is insulting to people who need more than "routine stuff" at "30-something" and to those who provide health care.

I've waited 3 weeks for a MRI where I live. And I live in Canada. I know, right...I had one last week for the sheer amount of 0$.
And....
Brain surgery for my wife with the best neurosurgeon in North America: 1 month wait, 0$
PET scan: 3 weeks wait, 0$
2 weeks of antibiotics for my kid: 15mn wait, 5$ paid.
Should I add more in medical worries?

The answer here is : "the marketing departement conducted a study showing that most users use IE 6.0"
No one was able to tell when this "study" was performed. I suspect it was during the previous century..
I had the same reaction when I read 28 light years. Please don't tempt me you insensitive clod.
