It came with the new Xorg+New Nvidia Drivers+KDE Beta... with those three things you can turn on transparency where every window EXCEPT the one that is currently in focus is transparent.
This is what you need for your twin 24" flat-panel setup which you were hardly able to afford but which was thought to be the final desperate solution with regard to screen estate.
The debugger that came with BS3 on the TR440 had an option that enabled you to step back a defined (small due to lack of space for saving) number of steps if you set the appropriate switch when compiling. Very cool feature - 30 years ago !

Not just American politics, you might generalize to (for short, though I dislike the term) first world, though the causes differ slightly.
However, you forgot to mention that it also seems that politicians do have a quite distorted view of the world of the "commons" - due to a lack of both relevant empirically won "world-knowledge" as well as formal education.

Nothing has changed. In 1983 one cause of coding (programming) errors had been described as a misfit of perceived and actual reality (Zemarek in Psychologie des Programmierens, S. 111-129, Hrsg. H. Schauer, M. Tauber, R. Oldenbourg, Wien, 1983).
While reporting sometimg along the following "Deutsche Bank reports 2004 pre-tax profit of 4.1 billion, up 50%, and fourth quarter 2004 pre-tax profit of 418 million after reorganisation charges of 574 million" it was also said that they are going to cut approx. 6500 jobs worldwide, around 1900 in Germany alone.
Never came across this (though I dealt with kilometers of paper tape (slightly exaggerated)), but I recall that there was a similar system here in.de as late as the beginning of the ninetees. It was not particularly successful in the shadow of the emerging internet.

If it weren't for OS X and Windows, what interfaces would KDE and GNOME developers strive to imitate?
"window, icon, menu, pointing device"
See Xerox Star (aka Dandelion) GUI.

Yes, in the museum.

And in the interest of high standards, it's rIdiculous. That has to be one of the most mispelt words on Slashdot.

To even further improve standards I might add that "existance" is a much better candidate than "rediculous"
"Mispelt", though, is more at the end of the

Finally, a last note. You note about locking you into a Microsoft paradigm. The people this is targted to are users of MS software already.
Just to check my logic - you implicitely imply that being a user of Microsoft is a sufficient condition to be locked in?

An argument for giving back to the Unix community, from which they derive so much development capital, should not be justified by popularity alone.
Yes.
But we here have a case of both business ethics and long range thinking being absent. Sounds a familiar combination.

I mean, as an authentication system for the phone lock, why would anyone want this over a keylock?
Now don't you see this is visionary, targeting all those future customers who are unable to type?
Though, admittedly, voice recognition sounds a little more plausible in the case of a phone.
