Just because people disagree with you are in large numbers doesn't mean they're wrong.
I know it was editable. That's what was great about it. It could do everything metro did, just minus all the gay crap. My menu doesn't have many of those folders. You know why? Because I edited it! Fixing this does not require a whole new design meant for fixed use devices.
Text menu with small icon: easy to see what you need based on color or picture alone, with the text right beside it. small and unobtrusive to the rest of your workflow. easy to organize, drag and drop where you want, or sort by alpha.
If you are typing stuff into widgets instead of finding what is needed with a few clicks, you aren't using the GUI very well..or it's badly designed. At that point, I'd prefer a command prompt...that doesn't suck.
Sizing is an unknown for win9 at this point. I hope I can just turn them off. I don't need huge idiocracy style icons, nor shitty mobile apps on my desktop. I want actual productive desktop applications and information density. I don't use the OS to look at the OS, I use it to quickly get what I need to do work or play games, so I don't need pretty tiles, lots of white space, and brain dead tablet style workflow. I prefer it without the jarring shifts between the full screen menu and the desktop. The huge vista/7 start menu sucks too, just less than windows 8.
Ah yes, the 'hater' fallacy. If you don't agree with the current trend, you must hate all change.
All that's needed is a simple editable menu for application links. It's not that hard.
How is searching for tiles easier than searching a list in the menu? If you hated doing it in the start menu, you should hate doing it with the tiles, with all that extra eye panning and scrolling. As far as text search goes, users shouldn't need it because your menu is neat and orderly and easy to read. Sticking a search box onto widgets just says loudly and clearly that the design has failed.
If all you want is one click access, add some shortcuts to the shortcut bar...oh right, they broke that too.
I remember that episode from childhood, and even then, it stuck out as communist propaganda. Even in the universe, it was obvious that the federation had currency (credits), politics, and played a lot of the same games the world governments do.
I'd rather have the likes of soprano running around and have my freedom intact than live in a police state world where every transaction is monitored (with inferred justification) by some bureaucrat.
I'm not interested in fox news vs cnn vs msnbc vs nyt reader stereotype comparisons. They're all false dilemma fallacies. Whatever the government is or is not supposed to spend money on, it is NOT supposed to beggar the country in the process. That is what it is doing. What are your precious corporate/social welfare funded bridge builders going to do if/when the country collapses due to 25$ gasoline and $50/day grocery bills? Seriously, how bad does it need to get?
in terms of recent slashdot stories, here are some useless bridges (there are plenty more): 1. the F35 fighter jet program 2. the FCC 5billion 'wifi-for-schools' 3. NSA/surveillance
While it might be nice to protect all those jobs at lockheed, the reality is that money could be better spent by the taxpayers it belongs. Kids don't need wifi for their ipuds to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic, and I think we can all agree that the NSA and friends have overstepped their boundaries. These are bridges that could be defunded immediately and money refocused on paying back debt.
Congrats, you're the top.005%, and living in a rich people bubble at that if you can't comprehend how inflation is hurting people. Federal deficit spending deflates the currency's buying power, which hurts everyone, regardless of how they've diversified. All that does is stave it off because your investments feel it too.
For the ones filling the jobs making your lifestyle possible, this hurts them even more since they have fewer dollars in the first place. They don't have the funds to diversify like you do. Meanwhile, increased taxation prevents them from spending what they do earn in the first place. Eventually, you will feel this candle burning from both ends, too, if things continue as they have. Your entire net worth, regardless of how it's diversified, is floating on a sinking ship. If you think your wealth will insulate you, you're dreaming. It might let you hang on a little longer, but when things get real bad, you'll fall into the same pit the proles are in now.
This is a big part of why a bag of chips that cost $0.99 in 1995 cost $4 now...or why boneless chicken is $6 a pound. It's also why the left is clamoring for crazy minimum wages so that those working bottom rent jobs can afford to live reasonably close to where they work. Of course, that's not the solution either. The problem is all the washington deficits being spent on useless bridges and corporate/social welfare.
1. Privacy is more important to me than convenience. I like the idea that I can go into a store and buy something without someone making a recording of it and tying it to me. 2. The issue isn't to make the dollar go away, or even the penny go away. The issue is to fix the inflation.
I would've liked to see how the emu20k2 revision chip performs on the titanium hd. Obviously this review predates that card... Supposedly they made some improvements to the chip and the card has much better analog circuitry.
This is a discussion forum, not a thesis submission. The poster was talking about building nuclear plants in deserts where there is no abundant water. This leaves a coastline of salt water. Salt water is corrosive, and while it is possible to use it as part of the cooling system, it's really not ideal. Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension before you call people names.
You throw professional around as if it means something.. It just means you're paid for your work. That doesn't mean you know anything. There are plenty of morons who are paid for their work.
what does office compatibility pack do to fix the serious ui regressions in windows 8? Most people don't want to take offers like that because they don't want to look like they're yesterday's news.. It's stupid, but most people would rather have the new thing even if it's worse than the old.
Some of us like lense flares and HDR lighting making up for lack of coherent story...oh wait I have the demoscene for that nevermind. Forget I said anything.
uhh.. what? vista was a pig, even on high end hardware at the time. 7 is just a tweaked vista. I'd go back to xp instantly if it had dx11 support and a few other things. Luna sucked but that was easily turned off and you had win2k interface again. xp was window dressing for 2k, and many of the features were backported to 2k in sp4. It was easy to tweak xp to run just as well as 2k. you can't say that for vista+. 8 might perform better than vista and 7, but it has nothing on 2k or xp. No comment on aero and metro as neither hold a candle to win2k's desktop.
windows 81 still has issues with the desktop compositor and mouse input. When I tried it, the compositor would resample the output of full screen 3d applications/games even when it wasn't necessary creating banding and distortion. This was especially noticeable on older pre dx9 titles. Also, the widgets look ugly. As far as I'm concerned, the only usable windows desktop is the win2k interface, which is not available in 81 at all. Windows 7 is the last one to have it.
the mouse issues still have not been solved for those of us with high res input devices.
NVME support is a driver.. I don't see an issue here.

Can you shut all those bullshit tiles off and have a simple text menu?
Well the term 'professional' simply means someone who is paid. Since most businesses still use windows, you are wrong.

They make their money somehow. Do your taxes subsidize the bank?

NO. How many more stories are going to ask this question?

Dear idiot,

The changes couldn't possibly stand out more. It's that awful.

This sounds like that 'new math' they teach in public schools now, where they call equations 'number sentences' and other emotive crap.
Nuclear plants need large supplies of water for cooling.
It would be ok if they used solar to power the AC.
sure beats the 'people's paradise' that is north korea
