Pfff..hahahahahahaa.... Since when are soldiers known for their *brains*? I mean they are soldiers *specifically* because they have no own opinions in the first place.
A soldier is basically a machine that’s controlled.
Brains in soldiers... lol. Next you tell me about Fox News watchers who know propositional calculus. ^^
eztv.it, bittorrent and companies with their own streaming sites (daily show, south park, etc) is all I need. I haven’t watched TV or touched a remote for at least five years. And I see more and better shows than before.
If I want to pointlessly procrastinate, there’s always Slashdot with more stories than I can read in a day (including *all* comments.;)
Oh shit! FAIL. I think I have to explain the last two paragraphs:
See, first I wrote my comment in a pretty insulting and aggressive way, because I forgot that all that would bring me, is being rightfully called an ass. Then I re-wrote it, because well, that’s not who I want to be. But then I forgot to delete the old stuff before submitting the comment.
I’m sorry.:( Those lines are not what I am or want to be.:)
About the running away screaming. You just imagined it to the end didn’t you? Of course nothing good came from that. Nobody can come up with a proper design in seconds, based on a vague idea presented.:) And UI design is maybe not even your priority in being competent at.
But see, you then thought, that what you imagined were anything I would design.:)
My basic rule is: It *has* to be great, to get presented to other people. And the basic idea is great, like every lossless unification of different concepts is great. And that is the point: I would never ever accept any compromise when implementing it. Because I know that no one will use something that has not a least every little detail of what they were used to PLUS some more to overcome the natural inertia.:)
I also don’t mean that it would stay a task bar. Because obviously, you can’t put a whole graph of your home directory in your task bar. ^^
I would have one global tree UI element for all applications. Well, not a tree, but a graph in tree-view. Which works, because you could grab any item in the tree, and “lift it up”. Thereby making it the new root node. Then you could filter “child” nodes by link type (eg parent/child or other semantic associations), and sort them, like you would do with table or in SQL. It would be a file system, task manager and the whole structure *inside* of files in one. On the top would be an XPath-like path/adress/url/uri line that would allow for filtering and the like too.
So you could for example change something in *all* your documents, according to a rule. But of course, as it would have to support all levels/depths of “wanting to get involved” (because not everyone wants to invest so much time in it), basic operation would still be as easy as browsing your files with your favorite file manager.
But all in the spirit of UNIX: Everything is a file. And small tools that do one job, and do it right.
Oh yes, it can not only be done. I already have detailed implementation plans for it. Now all I need is a couple of dozen developers and a load of money to pay them.;)))
First you take a simple idea. Then you extrapolate it into the worst design (by the way: are you in UI designer? Have you got any competence?), based on the basic fear of new things. And finally you tell me how bad that it.
Luckily, what you call bad, are your own thoughts, and has nothing to do with what I imagined. ^^
Scientist 1: OMG, Atlas is *such* an emo! He cut himself again, and all a buttload of helium leaked out all over the floor. Scientist 2: Yeah, and wanna know the worst part? Alice has a crush on him because of it! Scientist 1: Ugghh. How can she? She’s such a self-destructive detector! Scientist woman: I heard he got a huge hadron. Scientist 2: I *knew* it! It’s always the huge foreign guys, isn’t it? Scientist 1: Yeah, but do they constantly have to tell me all their inner feelings?? I mean 27 TB of raw data per day?? I *hate* emos! Other scientists: Agreed!
Neither nor. As stated in the article, the diesel generators kicked in, and nothing happened. It was just a glich.
If the generators weren’t working too, though, then the super-cooling would die. And that would mean the superconducting cables would stop being superconducting. Imagine the tiny white cable that you see here, getting all the power of the huge array of cables next to it. Now imagine it times ten. Along the whole tunnel.
This then causes the liquid helium to vaporize/ignite/explode. Something like that.
I don’t think there would be anything left.
(And as always in nature, everything in between can also happen (except on a quantum level). And there are other factors (dimensions) with their own scales. Then on top of that, everything is relative.;)
*imagines* LHC guys driving and running around the tunnels, looking and acting like the guys from the Sabotage video. With the music running in the background!
Boy, I wish I could film that. And I bet the LHC guys would be all in. It would spread trough the Internet like wildfire.
He is wrong. But you, the moderator, are the flamer, for pointlessly modding him “flamebait”. Meta-moderators, where are you? Smack that loserator with a large fish or something.
And that’s the nice thing about paper money: When they use it to pay, it’s worth shit. When you use it to pay, it’s worth a buttload. So you get work for free.
What do you think why the dollar fell into such a deep hole in the years before the whole “bailout” shit?? That was one of the real points of the Iraq/Afghan war. Pff. As if anyone of those rich asses would have cared a bit about 3000-4000 dead people. Not to belittle that it was very bad. Bud just a week later, ten thousands died in India. Did anyone even remember?? See...
Instead of tabbing windows, have a screen for each window! ^^
Only if the screen becomes too big to be practical (more than your field of view or more than 360 degrees in both directions), go into the third dimension by stacking things.
Then go one step further:
Group your windows into a tree hierarchy. Or even better: A proper full graph. Depending on the things they belong to.
Now if you could just stop having the difference between opened and closed applications, we would already have that. Just make the task bar and the directory structure of your documents folder the same thing, and act as if everything were open all the time. Then for consistency, remove the in-application tabbing (like in Firefox), an that would just be redundant.
That’s a really primitive way of seeing it, but you’re right.
In reality, as shame is entirely based on social conditioning, and has no base in biology, the shame is relative to the social mindset//world/group you live in. (Which does not have to be the same as that of the people you have contact with.)
For example: An nudist in a community of nudists, is not ashamed at all. Some are not even ashamed when they are not in that community. And there is no right/wrong about it. It’s all arbitrary. After all, all a bad reaction to seeing someone nude, is just in the head, and not connected to reality. (Except of course in case of real ugliness ^^)
In mass psychology, one sees these "mindsets/ideas/philosophies" like lifeforms, nowadays. In fact they act so much like like lifeforms, that it’s hard to argue that they are not. They fight over resources, they grow and reproduce, they live and die. And most importantly, they transform/process things. So in fact, we have not one, but two ways of reproducing. The biological one (making children), and the mental one (putting ideas in people’s heads and doing things that will be remembered.) Which means that ‘he lives on inside of us’ is more real that most people think.:)
Now to Yahoo: I bet you can easily identify the group/mindset that those people live in. And from there, go to the sources, the motivations, and all the aspects of it. Yahoo may know that you might think it’s shameful. Doesn’t mean they do. They can easily just call you stupid and say you “don’t know shit”. Everyone does it, because that “mindset lifeform” of course protects its own existence too. If you see people acting really aggressive and like it’s about life and death, over things that are just simple argumentation... That’s exactly it.
And now, you can think about, what to twist and change where, to turn them into your mindset... Assuming you (healthily, but wrongly) still think that yours is the only right one and that there is such a thing as a global “right and wrong”. (Your death is another one’s advantage. His death is yours.)
Protip: Try to win. But don’t expect others not to do the same.:)
Slashdot Mirror
You don’t see it, because it is virtualized in the verticals. Duh.
I bet you don’t even have the eTurbo 9000 XFX edition. :P
What? So it can crash and be locked down at the same time?? ^^
Pfff..hahahahahahaa.... Since when are soldiers known for their *brains*? I mean they are soldiers *specifically* because they have no own opinions in the first place.

TV is dead anyway.

If I want to pointlessly procrastinate, there’s always Slashdot with more stories than I can read in a day (including *all* comments. ;)
CRIA me a river!
Yeah right. Go ahead and try it.
You won’t. And that is why the point still stands.
Real men don’t wear shoes, you insensitive clod!
They were spores. But no shoes! ^^
I wouldn’t exactly call the DJing market small.
Then again, there are things like Stanton Final Scratch, where you need turntables, but not Vinyls (other than the ones containing the time codes).
Oh shit! FAIL. I think I have to explain the last two paragraphs:

Oh god. Who of you losers with mod points have a upset now??
Firefox users? Naah.
KDE users? Unlikely.
loud retards? *PING*
Fun fact: Watch me, not caring. ^^
Is it feely too?
Scientist 1: OMG, Atlas is *such* an emo! He cut himself again, and all a buttload of helium leaked out all over the floor.
Scientist 2: Yeah, and wanna know the worst part? Alice has a crush on him because of it!

Hey, “closure” is a programming concept.
Neither nor. As stated in the article, the diesel generators kicked in, and nothing happened. It was just a glich.

temporary glitch
Shit! They changed something in the Matrix!
*imagines* LHC guys driving and running around the tunnels, looking and acting like the guys from the Sabotage video. With the music running in the background!
Boy, I wish I could film that. And I bet the LHC guys would be all in. It would spread trough the Internet like wildfire.
Which of the half a dozen or so plug types used on this CONTINENT do you mean?
Pff. That’s because you are a pussy! “Whole planet”... Ha. That’s what our children do for fun.
Real trans-dimensional overlords wipe at least a couple of universes!
Lifeforms these days...
Oh my. “Moderators” become dumber by the second.
He is wrong. But you, the moderator, are the flamer, for pointlessly modding him “flamebait”. Meta-moderators, where are you? Smack that loserator with a large fish or something.

See...
Egocentricity FAIL!
“sic’ is Latin, and known in pretty much every language with an European origin.
Next you tell me, that Edison invented the light bulb.
Um, you could still play with the wave function of a electron surrounding the atom. ^^
Or just go to single photons.
million-million
Is that the retard way of saying “trillion”?
Or do you think we are retards?
Or did you just not want to remind us of Zooey Deschanel? :P
I like to be reminded of her, you insensitive clod!
Oh well, the “Jesus” in the subject already gave it away anyway, who’s not right in his head. ^^

I wonder why the KDE people did not come up with this before, with all their semantic desktop ideas?
Too much fear of the loud retards at the lower (and closer to Windows) end of the bell curve of their target group? ^^
