Actually, the colons give me a Pascal vibe. The indents remind me of Python. So, I've got a language that looks a bit like Pascal and Python, runs in Java and generates HTML + JavaScript. The documentation must be a fun read.
Do you mean things like using Win+F to start Find or Win+E for an Explorer window and many others? They've been there since Windows 95 and NT4. It's not just for the Start Menu any more.
At least they're using the tool, if a bit slower. I have to deal with those that refuse to look at the menu. Those that do look, I'm happy to show a shortcut.
Forward in Outlook gets me a lot. Find is the equally obvious F4. At least in the main window Ctrl+Shift+F gives you 'Advanced Find.' Not so in a form.
Nah, we'll just have a Parliamentary inquiry. It will make some recommendations and possibly take some action. The whole thing will likely be given to someone like Stephen Conroy. He knows all about computers and networks and stuff.
Heck, if the opt-out allows you to set a mailing address then this will be good for the non-users as well. A simple, single change of address mechanism.
Actually, JScript is one of the official scripting languages for Windows. Apart from some of the OLE stuff being painful, I much prefer it to VBScript with WSH.
.NET can still be used through Interop and the like. This looks to be aimed at the level of people who need to build stuff but don't have VS of one form or another. Another option would have been to pair a baby VSTO with the Express editions of VS.
Given the new formats, there's no reason they couldn't use the DOM, Excel is just one large table after all. It's more likely that they'll use the HTML for user forms and the like. This will replace the current VBA dialog editor. This is a bit of a mixed blessing because we'll have a lot of code to replace. Then again, they've done this before. I wonder if this is HTA reborn.
I listened to that one. It was an interesting talk including the developers past as a musician IIRC. Then again, Slashdot could do with more Science Show references.
Known about for years by a government that's only four months old? He needs to give some policy people time to justify their jobs and tell him it's not a problem.
What stupidity? All but the new guy agreed to do it. The new guy needs a bit of time to study the issue. It's likely to be a done deal by October or November.
Yet another way for 'that kid' to get marginalised in school.
I also wonder why we're teaching them to take work home. Does anyone else think homework is a problem?

You want me to keep the key to the safe inside the safe?

Well that's an easy place to hide it. The Search box that's used to start web searches. Nice overload, Apple.

Almost as brain dead as password entry boxes that tell me the caps lock is on when I hold shift down for a single character.

Actually, we're closer to Asia where it's all made. Shipping inside Australia is expensive though.
Nah, you need Monster Velcro (tm) It has directional indicators and gold plating.
Only if they sold it. Apple Australia isn't Apple US. They're different businesses.
They didn't sell it in Australia. The warranty requirement is on the local vendor, not the manufacturer.
Oh shit. Wait till they figure out Fox News is a giant piss-take.

The government reading the things they send you. That would be an improvement.

Guess which one I'll see first. Maybe I should move to a marginal electorate.
If he hasn't been using Intellisense for the last decade or more, why would he start now?

And the one time CSIRO turned around and used the FTA, a bunch of US companies bitched and whined.
