A successful and profitable Linux software company comes around that actually has a financial statement that doesn't make them look like a lemonade stand and Slashdot commenters repeatedly bash them. I don't understand it. Does Computer Science and Economics just not mix well in this crowd. Is everyone secretly against Linux being deployed?
I'm sorry, I know this is a little offtopic, however, it needs to be said.
Quit it with the DAMNED cheerleading. It seems that every chance anyone ever gets to mention a distro they like or they think is superior in any way shape or form they must at all cost mention in any obscur way. Slashdot's advertisements aren't as effective as these comments. People actually read these comments and mod them up thinking "Wow what an ingenious . .." whoa, hold on a second that's an advertisement for another Linux distro--GEEZ!
Has a poor implementation of FTP. FTP may wreck havoc on IE, crashing every window. Yes, my friend, the standard is long broken, but it was not broken on its own. Using a client FTP program like SmartFTP or any variant will yield amazingly better results than IE. Then again, you could just use Mozilla/KHTML/Opera (anything but IE) and have no trouble.
The end user has these problems. That is why. It is the fault of a single monopolistic application--made by Microsoft, enough said.

The HIG, as I recall, doesn't mention tabs as evil. While Apple may not deploy tabs on the system level, we can look to Excel for tabbed worksheets as a long standing example, and to Airport Admin for a more recent usage. For a more public example, you only need to visit Apple.com
Safari will have tabs...sooner or later, and Cupertino will not slide into the Pacific as a result.
Excel was NOT created by Apple, it was created by MICROSOFT.
The Airport Admin software CANNOT be document-oriented it contains NO documents
Apple's website is a SINGLE document. Every tab is not a NEW window it is a LINK to another page. Web Design and UI's are not equal.
Also, I wasn't being a sensationalist. I didn't call tabs evil, and I didn't say Apple's beloved home at Infinite Loop would slide into the Pacific Ocean. I simply said they don't implement MDIs, and ya know what, they don't.
Some applications are not document-based. Such applications typically still have at least one main window, which can use the standard Aqua document window appearance and features.
I'm not sure if anyone realizes this, but Apple typically does NOT like Multiple Document Interfaces -- essentially what tabbed browsing is. For this reason I do NOT see them adopting tabs, ever. Even if every other KHTML browser has them. I may be wrong, but I believe using tabs would be a design flaw to Apple.
I'm still reading through their HIG to see if they warn against it.
I hate seeing natural selection described as some sort of moral quest for the "best," when it's just a way of explaining natural phenomena (I'm not saying you're doing that, but lots of people do).
I agree.
Take sickle cell anemia for example. It is a deadly disease, but being heterozygous (that is, having the trait, but only partially or not exhibiting it) for it makes you unsusceptible to malaria. Hence, sickle cell is common in tropical cultures. Is sickle cell a good thing, has it made nature a better place? No, and no, but it has simply continued until evolution produced immunity towards a disease. Was this because cells and our genome have minds. No it's because people that are not heterozygous sickle cell lived, and those that weren't died because of malaria.
"devils weed"
Ah yes, that would be kudzu. I apologize in the South that is what I have often heard it called, and I could not remember the real name. On a sidenote, are you saying pot came from China?
A species new to an area has no known predators in that area. Hence, they may thrive and continue to do so until they have wiped out the population of the prey in that area. By that time overpopulation fixes itself because of a shortage in food supply. (or, think long term the development of resistence - if the given species feeds on plants, eventually they will start to taste bad to the species.
Basically, this is a built-in function of nature. It's just like life. When things are new and great you're happy, but you will adapt to your enviroment and will be bitchin about something soon - I promise.
It's just like a plant that I've always heard called the "devil's weed." It is a plant that takes over and kills all plant life it touches in the US. It came from China (IIRC), and it exists well in its naturally habitat - there are checks that make sure it doesn't grow like cancer. However, in the US these checks are not in place and it wipes out and strangles every plant it comes in contact with.
WTF, IMHO a common HIG would be great. Geez, talk about getting my hopes up.
Same document, different sections. Why the same document, compare and contrast??? What is wrong with a streamlined HIG- why is it seen as a bad thing to ANYBODY? The approach doesn't have to be exactly the same, just the ideology behind the approach, that's what matters - SOME consistency.
By saying proprietary you act as if support should be to certain specifications, which isn't true but interesting idea.
oh, nice text ad for another distro though.
You only buy the software if you pay for a boxed set, and then you're paying for a large manual shipping, handling, etc.
Who cares if they get some of the bottom line, you don't have to pay for it at all, so if you'd like to whine about it don't "buy" it.
Interstate Sales tax is legal, you have to file it on your tax return in April. Geez, what are you mouthing off about? Get out your tax return this year and read it. Maybe you've never recorded interstate purchases, but they are required and you are breaking the law by not supplying them.
Even though I don't think anyone records them, it's there.
If you really feel that it's civil disobedience, get a bunch of people together, set up a network in a public place (rented hall, maybe), and download there. Make sure the media is there, and hand out pamphlets telling what you're doing. Get your message out there. Face the risks of being arrested.
Hmmm, not quite. When it comes to those who care more people use P2P than don't.
See this is the internet and everything is distributed (not the hippie generation where your approach might actually work). Millions upon millions of people disobeying the law is infinitely more formidable than getting a couple hundred to take a fall for millions.
You see, if the civil disobedience came only from a few people in this situation they would be squashed and become an example, not a martyr for the cause.
By effectively eluding the government and **AA people are out rightly defying the law in masses. Meaning, if the government does not change its policies it will be forced to imprison its population. Because this cannot occur and have the government still exist, the masses will win over the few.
Seriously, most strawberries are quadriploidal (4N), by design. They are larger this way, what about research in this direction? I'd be much angrier if there were no strawberries!
Exactly. I've told my employer if he made me pay when I was thinking, I'd be charging him 112 hours a week (12x7).
I am constantly revising things like dbases when I realize new needs, or think of a good way to handle something.
I don't think this is a bad practice. When I sit down to write some code, I am very prepared. I'll just sit, and output. The thinking has largely been done.
"Second, if you have Windows 98, you have IE4."
Sorry, not everyone does.
Okay, fine, be that way. If you have an operating system that was created less than 6-7 years ago. You have a capable browser. Unless you use a text-based browser or promptly in some odd fashion downgraded. There.
However, aside from the horible float bugs in Mozilla, it does have the best CSS in any browser right now.
IE doesn't have that bug. IE has a CSS bug, and it has to do with bordering. Honestly, floating is a LITTLE bit of a bigger deal than not having the right pixel count on a box.

Is there anything that DOESN'T cause it?
Given enough time and research you can prove anything
Everyone that ever lived died, should we stop reproduction?
It doesn't, there.
It's weird when you think that Linus Torvald works at a notebook CPU manufacturer. Just an interesting thought.
