Correction, it doesn't "show" your windows, it "lists" your windows. You have a name and an icon.
Expose will show your windows, in miniature. It will take your windows, shrink them, and spread them all out for you like a deck of cards. It will even keep them near to where they were.
Then you pick the window you want, and it'll collect them all up just the way you had it--except the window you picked is right in front of you.
I'll go further. No one who has seen it has criticized it. It's perfect.
Siracusa mentioned that he'd like a little shelf thing, but that would be icing, and isn't really necessary since you can continue dragging while Expose is on.
You can probably have almost a hundred of orgasms every month, but imagine a hundred slashdotters coming to your place and trying to fuck you all at once. That's what they just did to the Ars.
In the original Star Wars Episode IV that we all grew up on, Han Solo shot Greedo before Greedo could shoot Han in the cantina. In the re-issued Star Wars Episode IV Special Edition, Lucas added several scenes, and changed that scene so that Greedo shot, missed, and Han retaliated.
See, he turned Han into less of a bad-ass smuggler.
What I'm really interested in finding out is: now that we have something that's reached or passed the heliopause, will the mysterious deceleration our probes have encountered cease?
No one has any idea what is causing the slow-down. Dark matter? Interstellar anti-gravity? Who knows? It's...mysteeerious! Maybe it has something to do with the heliopause.
We don't quite have the technology. We are missing a power system. There's nothing that provides enough power for long enough to be useful that can still be mounted on a person-sized powered suit. See this Discover article.
I was flat-out astonished that GEOS actually worked, and worked relatively well! I kept on asking myself, "how did they do that?" I even dived into the machine code for a time, trying to figure it out.
The blind usually fold different currencies in different ways to keep track in their own wallet. A $5 might have the corner folded, while the $10 might be folded in half and the $20 lengthwise, for example.
Why should there be an American prototype of a civic scientist. Surely many of the Greek thinkers, (Aristotle and Plato in particular) paved the way for this sort of thinking. Franklin was undoubtly a brilliant man but I would hardly call him a prototype.
Yes, but Franklin has three advantages over the ancient Greeks:
1) He is documented. We know what he did, when he did it. The Greeks' few known activities are all hearsay. 2) He is modern. He has dealt with governments and countries like our governments and countries. In the time of the Greeks, it was too different. 3) He has name recognition. People already respect and admire him. That makes him a good role model.
Today, almost all games have a menu system that uses a nonstandard, bitmapped interface. Part of this is because they often have console ports, where there *is* no standard widget system, and part of it is because there's a perception that the customer *wants* a menu screen with little animated moving things.
I think it is more than perception. For games, customers do want a UI customized for the game. And they do want a UI with huge-ass buttons center stage. They want music playing in the background. They want animation. They want the experience. This is not true of most other apps, of course, or even of quickie games like Solitaire or Tetris.

There are lots of possibilities, I could go on but then I'd just drive it into the ground.
Too late.
Such a shame that Slashdot doesn't preserve the accent mark...

I think Apple are somewhere between a rock and a hard place here...
Would you say they are beleagured?

Nice visual there, cowboy.

Uh, yeah. How about Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3?
Paperback Writer! I was trying to remember the name of that program! I think that was my first or second real word processor.
Wow, this whole article is totally cool nostalgia-ville. I remember all the type-in programs people have been talking about.

Ah, I see you are familiar with the habits of successful kiddie porn viewers.
Wait a minute...

Yes, but do other chickens think those are beautiful or not?

Technically, copyright is "to promote the progress of Science and the Arts" or something like that.
That's what it did to me. I have a Mac, so I wasn't susceptible, but it did stop up my e-mail briefly.
