    what version of firefox are you using? I'm using 2.0.0.3 and the clicking on the url in the autocomplete box loads the page.

    A famous writer can get a nice big advance for their next book, continual revenue from sales on their previous books, sell the movie options, write short stories for magazines, etc. Musicians have concerts... and many of them also have day jobs (and girlfriends). Writers seem to have a high opinion of themselves, but perpetual copyright can't polish a turd.

    I sat around scratching my balls wondering why 1) anybody cared and 2) why it was so expensive. Instead of silkscreened letters like a standard $5 keyboard, this thing has programmable OLEDs. On each key. So the key display can be altered by software.

    What if your wide/mom/sister had a vagina, and people could have an endless supply of orgasms with no more work than sliding a penis into her mouth, ass, or vagina. Would you not be acting immorally to restrict access by everyone?

  20. Re:Maybe KDE & Gnome Folk Will Read... on Independent Human Interface Guidelines · · Score: 1

    Look at the menubar in the buddy list window. Due to the 3-d effects on the left/right sides, it looks like a button rather than a menu bar. That entire window looks like a mess.

  21. Re:Maybe KDE & Gnome Folk Will Read... on Independent Human Interface Guidelines · · Score: 1

    "I apologize that this letter is so long. I did not have the time to make it short." -- attributed to many people.

    Maybe the issue is that Apple spends time simplifying and removing unneeded UI cruft. I looked through some gnome screenshots and UI guidelines to try and find specific reasons gnome isn't as polished. Looking at gedit, for example, the window has a menu bar, large icon toolbar, tab bar, then, a full inch and a half below from the top, is the actual text. Oh, and there's also an information bar at the bottom.

    This just looks cluttered to me..

    • The tab bar: does nothing but waste space when only 1 file is open.
    • The toolbar: large icons waste space. Also, they seem to be for such common actions (open, save, cut, copy, paste, etc) that the well known key combos are faster than trying to mouse around. The text names for the icons waste even more space. Use a tooltip (or does that violate an MS patent?)
    • The text edit area: the text edit is indented. (For that matter, so is the menu bar and the toolbar). The Apple approach would be to have them go straight to the edge. Or maybe that's due to the window border being too thick. Either way, i think it clutters up the appearance.

    LAMP? nope. Windows 2003 Server, IIS, SQL Server 2000, and IE at my job. Plus AIX, DB2, and a lot of other expensive and proprietary software. I personally have firefox on my computer, but around 75% of the intranet web pages require IE (either due to active X or the web monkey not caring).
