I'm rather surprised at your response. Normally when some arrogant kraut dilettante fucks up some part of Linux for no perceivable reason it's like you got all your birthdays at once.
Business wants its cheap labour. If it can't get it from Bulgaria it'll get it from Bangladesh.
If those who voted for Brexit thought it would get rid of all the bloody foreigners and usher in jobs, prosperity, and unicorns for all they're going to get a very rude awakening.
I'm not sure they do. Giving users the ability to change things - even minor ones - creates a feeling of empowerment. This tends to make them react more favourably to the system.
And what about people with visual problems?
is that it makes it difficult to move between computers.
That's not their domain, if it's anyone's it's the bean counters'. Also, isn't that a bit of a security risk?
Remember, this is from the same UI group that, back in the RHEL 4/5 days brought us a file manager (Nautilus) that opened a folder in a new window. With. Every. Single. Double-click.
That's the default but it can be turned off in 6 for sure. It's been some time since I ran 5 but I reckon it's doable there too; it's such a PITA that I'd remember if it couldn't.
There seems to be a new fad of making the scroll bar needle-thin too. Just about usable on a stable desk with an actual mouse; not so good on a touchpad when you're riding a bus or train.
And as you point out, terrible if you have reduced dexterity.
He actually wrote "the same rules", implying it's being done [at least] twice. Which is the case. I don't even play a web developer on TV and I know that.

If it's designed properly it should take minutes and you should only have to do it once.
And the first time it doesn't take me ten minutes to hit the exact pixel to get to what I need it's already paid for itself.
There are two factors involved in "ability to afford". They're the price of the article and your income.
It's left as an exercise for the reader to determine what effect changing the former has when the latter is zero.

"Back" implies they went in the first place. Having lived in one and visited the others I'd say that's debatable.
Go to foreign places, shoot all the darkies and steal their land.
Actually, seeing as we've given most of it back this could actually be feasible again.
I have a mild version of this. I remember names, I remember faces but have trouble linking the two together.
The odd thing is, I sometimes see lookalikes that others don't. Like Shrek and Tom Kerridge.
And so is designing a machine without an externally accessible usb port.
Just ask Apple.
Don't think he did.

If you lose your internet connection, you can't do shit. Some people consider that a bit of a drawback too.
Ah, you're one of those cretins who got into the industry when they'd take anyone with a pulse.
So you changed a load of PIC 9(6) statements to PIC 9 (8). Yeah, you're a real guru. Was this before or after you were an astronaut?
You use words like "fisticuffs" and "ragamuffins", don't you?
He's assuming the devs will make exactly the same decisions for how it should work as he would. And that if they don't, they're wrong.
That's the default but it can be turned off in 6 for sure. It's been some time since I ran 5 but I reckon it's doable there too; it's such a PITA that I'd remember if it couldn't.
Been dabbling in it too, and I'm not so happy with the whitespace, but I agree about the libraries.
Would that be change for the better, or for the worse?
No, there's a timetable clash. I'm giving a seminar on the number of o's in whoooosh.
You code sitting upright? Man, that's weird.
You might be correct. But according to TFS it's about some guy called Edrogan and a coupe, so all bets are off.
New skills is one thing. New skills that they can do better than a machine is quite another.
Captcha: frying pan.
Or as maths tutors. They could teach journalists what exponential actually means.
We need something more snappy. Iduits? Uidiots?

Should be on three lines and have a reference to the weather. 3/10
