If the extremes (see marginal?) are put aside... maybe this can lead to another hypothesis...
Some people don't want to be with the stupid, nor do they want to be with someone "greater than them". So the "normal" are more attracted to the "normal", eh.
Of course, like a lot of hypothesis, it is simplistic and don't represent everyone (some does seek "greater" to improve, because they seek power, etc.) -- however in our life where people want to do quick decision, etc. etc. it also make sense.
And this doesn't apply only with intelligence (we can also argue that there is different kind of intelligence or "skills" if you want, like "social skill").
I won't say this represent everyone, but I have noticed people that are somehow jealous of the ones who are "smart" / "easily good at thing" (like in school, sports, etc.), there is also people who cannot live with someone who gain more cash than they do, that have higher position, etc. --- I guess there is all kind of people;-)
There exist smart people who are really not fun to be with and there also exist smart people who are very fun to be with (e.g. socially smart or socially interesting).
But then again, being marginal can also be an asset.
And finally... school grade, IQ, etc. -- only measure what you want. They are often a good measure or indication, but not the end of the world. A student who scores 100% could probably easily score 40% if he did show little interest. But sometime the inverse is not possible!
I am also a bit surprised when I read people who are disgusted with sex, etc. -- sound like some people try to convince themself that it is just bad. --- people just overly complicate it, try to justify their acting, etc. --- then once they get it, are exposed to it, etc. their mind change.
And of course, if you include the cost of IE in the Windows's price (fair or not), then there will be people complaining that including IE in Windows is "wrong", anti-competitive, etc.
Funny about how Microsoft do a lot of effort to stay backward compatible with other companies's software (with business reason of course and probably a bit of corporate choice about being very backward compatible).
In the end, there will always be someone that complain. It is so easy to complain (saying this is not a reason to not complain at all...).
However, if people complain about IE, why not complain about other stuff in windows that other people do (even the interface shell, there is alternative).
If I kill someone (for a reason), if he is an important person or not, I still removed the life of someone. In practice the value of his life might be different because he is important or not, but basicelly, it is a person.
If we threat IE a way, we should apply the same reasoning to less popular, less competitive or less "buzyne$$" softwares.
Other OS does ship with a lot of software bundled (and I guess that is what a lot of customer expect, they want it to work now. Same for a car for example. You can however modify, improve, etc. later IF YOU WANT/NEED/WHETEVER), be it a media player, a browser, text-editor, calculator, etc.

Sometime fearing is good. But sometime the "try it and you will know it" is way cheaper (in time), will put you in confidence, and make you learn faster.
Even you geeks that are all in confidence sometime are stopped by fear in computer or other topic. You just have to be conscious about it.
Of course, that is maybe legitimate to charge when it is from credit card, but they can do way better when the money doesn't come from credit card (they can, but still their business model take advantage of this and it is one choice like another, if people are paying...)
I would like to get a good mainstream micro-payment service, please.
Send money by email's fees is on the sender (client?) as far as I know.
Paypal's fee are on the receiver (seller?).
It is quite a lot of difference.
I think a seller is usually more willing accept some fees (even if a lot would prefer to not pay) to conclude a sale. All store accepting credit card probably pays some fees (wal-mart, your grocery store, amazon, etc.) -- chance are they often do more money accepting it, even if there is some fees.
Even if the seller was offering a rebate for some kind-of payment, I will believe (ok, it is a fast hypothesis) that psychologically, a client that has to pay something more for a service will be stop (even if it gives him the same price at the end). Of course it depends of the client, but it is a guess of normal behavior of people that look up at fee.
Personaly I would have used "send money by mail" locally, but paying 1-2$ for sending 30-40$ is non-sense for a cheap bastard like me (especially when I can easily save the 1-2$). So the idea rocks, in practice the price they set did not seem good enough for me. But if they change the fees (or if it become an almost free service) -- that might kick ass.
A good price? It should at less cost less than a stamp. At less for very small transaction fees.
While procrastinating sometime we do some thinking too... it is work (just not as visible as some other kind of work) Maybe people that procrastinate have a different way to handle problems (I see the funny possible replies there!). Of course sometime it can get to us if it gets too much extreme. And of course sometime we really are numb while procrastinating.
The problem for people that can do more in less time, is that we have to be there when we do nothing and I believe that can have a negative effect, either by taking us energy that we could use otherwise (or rest!:P) or because it plays on our motivation not keeping us challenged.
A lot of people see you with good eyes when you come "early" (the work you do or not doesn't always matter depending where you are). That sucks for us who aren't used or are more of a "night bird" type.
Anyway it is not always the time you put into your job that should count. I know a lot of people that put less "real" hour at job, but are better than those who "always" work (doh!).
Someone recorded a video manipulating a light saber like in star wars.
Some others people get their hand on the video and sent it to the internet.
And that is the end of the world.
People that over-exagerate on those kind of thing are not helping people to grow. Seriously.
I feel it is the kind of thing that only create conflict, bad atmosphere, etc. Going nuts about those things is negative and force people to restrict themself (and not only for the good).
I was picked on, I will be picked on (some people will bash this thread because of my way to type or my non-english tone). I like to play joke, I like to laugh, and I am not an evil person, nor do I strive to be one. I am often available to help people with difficulties, etc. However I dislike (hate) it if I have to restrain myself from having some fun (without any ev0l intention) just because there is people that will whine at insignifiant thing out there.
If someone pick on someone, be really evil, steal his lunch, etc. Ok... but just posting a video... a picture, common. And it too often take ridiculous proportion.
I just saw on TV, they talked about it and their lawyer I think said something like those kid should do something better, like concentrate on school.
Yeah, life is just school, and it is just work!
Anything else is worthless.
Having fun, laugh, etc. is GOOD. Nothing is wrong with it!
I remember back when I was young, one of my friend's mom, each time he was laughing in the basement, she seemed to suspect something bad.
FTA: "Several thousand engineers have labored to build and test Windows Vista, a sprawling, complex software construction project with 50 million lines of code, or more than 40 percent larger than Windows XP."
"Either that or the person responsible for that comment is one of the cowboy coders, for whom any non-coding time is seen as a waste (ie, testing, retesting, documentation, etc)."
You forget slashdot, pr0n... oh maybe that is what "etc" is for?;-)
Like a lot of people here have said, simple websites are not necessary ugly. Actually it mights even be beautiful. It is not always the bell and whistle that make something nice (the same often apply for a woman!).
Doing something right a simple way is sometime more demanding than doing it more complicated, because it requires some thoughts.
A lot of people here will say Google is ugly (let's say we talk only about the search engine part). Personally I won't put it into ugly. It is even neat-o/cute/younameit. And for google they even change the logo in the homepage for a lot of events (and they are quite cool usually). It is simple, but clean.
Is eBay that ugly and wrong (I have not done a deep analysis here and I have been a big user of it, so maybe I am just used to it), I don't think so. It is simple, it is easy to scan text in the page (lot of space, etc.)
Is amazon ugly? I will say it has a lot of space as well, you can scan the text, etc. I'm less an user of Amazon thought... before I often thought that some page was jampacked of information, but still it is easy to scan them (well I look now and some page have a load of information).
NIKE AND GOOGLE AM SHOOT SCORE GOOGOOOGOALLLLLLLLLLLL!
PS. Since slashdot as an anti-lameness filter, it doesn't allow 100% pure brasil post. I encountered error #9 Ronaldhino "Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!" "Reason: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING."
PSS. It always amaze me how some people really take CAPS so seriously, like it was so much irritating.
PSSS. On joga.com they even put a style to make it BRASIL STYLE, look for the "PLAY BEAUTIFUL" box.;-)
PSSSS. All those PSs are not a way to pass thru the lameness filter.
"in six months in the United States and Britain followed by Europe, its European president said on Wednesday."
Damn, that go along the line of me viewing those nasty message on google (and other place) "this video cannot be viewew in your country".
This is the internet. It is not delimited by country, ARGH!!!!!!!
I guess human need to make border to feel comfortable (and yeah, if the search engine adapt to its user, it can become better... what I hate the most is restriction)
Tell the truth all the time good thing, people are afraid
Trust the team trust is a good thing
Review everything, test everything don't trust blindly thought! (and that is not to blast the other, review, critic, challenge, that is what get someone to move higher, evoluate) -- I hate it when people are afraid to review, or change something because it is already done. It is not a valid argument IMHO and it often cost more to act this way.
All developers are created equal well as anything in life, created I dunno, but people are not equal. And some people are better than someone else in about everything, the reason they evoluate that way is maybe they does apply the other tips you put here. When you don't go nuts about error (but learn for exemple), when you tell the truth, when you don't go nuts about something 3 days when you can just get over it in 5 mins, etc. those kind of attitude is hard for most people that are not used to apply them to accept it and then make people that apply it feel bad. Did I lost you here with my bad english and my improvised text? Like an analysis I should review my text, make it better, it will have a better effect, be less ambigous, force me to improve my english... but... I don't have time! (...)
The fastest way through the project is to do it right often it is. And if it is not done the right way (and for legitimate reason), don't be afraid to refactor.
Now you could just buy a device that will allow you to have as much saved games as you want (I believe there exist some for NES too, probably something called Game Saver, but I might be wrong on the name).
Of course being hypocrite is so often characterized with being smart.
Why act realistically is something wrong?
All people are trying to lie to everyone around.
What is important is what you do, what you achieve, etc.
"Be professional"... common.
Anyway, if you don't fit in the mould you are not smart? If you are not a 9-5 person, you are not smart? If you don't get the average grade at school (but more than average!), you are not smart?
Would you prefer an employee who play games, take it easy in life but work hard to deliver result or someone who work "very hard" to achieve... nothing?
I don't remember the behavior of opera about it... but I know some browser use to just try www + name +.com if the address is unreachable. For example if you type example and it doesn't find anything (no local computer mapped to example with a webserver) then it will try to reach www.example.com
Personally I am not used to CTR+Enter and don't use it... but once we get used to something and gain some time with it, I can see it feel important for us...
An example of feature I was probably wrongly using was that in IE I was using ctrl+tab-key to go to the adresse bar fast... now I am used to use alt+d (which work also in IE, in Windows Explorer, etc.) -- I was just "used" to ctrl+tab to achieve this in IE. Now I barely use that way to do even thought before I adopted it... it is just a small proof that we can train ourself to be efficient (and maybe more) at something we are not used to. Just think at when you started typing and how it looked magical that some people could type without look at the keyboard;-) -- I bet you can change the keyboard layout entirely and we can get productive again... however now it has become natural to me... I don't even think when I type... it is like talking... it scare me now that I type and think of it.
Also -- I re-retried Opera recently and I was trying to do ctr+t for new tabs... because I am used to Firefox way (even thought it is not 100% my first browser, I use it a lot now). I have tried Opera since 2.x or 3.x days (if not before)... and it always has been quite cool, with interesting feature, mega fast, etc. It just wasn't mainstream.
Why not just move your target again? Maybe it doesn't seem like a solution in life to always change and sometime we reasonate with, it will turn out again the same with . Well maybe that is true, and what if you needed to change each 5 years.
Of course there is maybe stuff we gain benefical when it makes 10 years doing something.
It is easy to say, probably uneasy to do (i.e. take the risk to do), but we can always change and experiment something else.
Skal Tura said: "I still don't see much of a benefit on doing that, you mean that i don't need to instantiate the class to be an object? (ie. no $something = new Class;)"
No, I may have expressed myself wrongly or it is just still unclear to you.
Actually if you call Object::someMethod(); you are just calling the method that is defined as static for the class (even if in PHP4 for example, there is no static).
In that static method, you won't be able to use thing like $this, because you are not working on an instance of the object ($this being a pointer to the instance of the object), you are just calling it.
So if you have a function that doesn't do anything on the object itself, but you want it associated with your class definition, you may use it that way.
Example that I saw is like when you want to retrieve a list of Something.
You will do:
Something::findAll();// return an array with the list of all Something Something::findById($id);// return an instance of Something or null if not found etc.
You could as well code a function:
find_all_something(); or something_find_all(); amd it will be the same.
Some more code (unfortunaly it doesn't look as right on slashdot preview, but you may copy it in some editor to read it better)
class Something {
var $id;
var $name;
var $description; ./* setter and getter, those work on the instance directly. */
function setId($id) {... }
function getId() {... }
function setName($id) {... }
function getName() {... }
function setDescription($id) {... }
function getDescription() {... } ./* to save or delete (i.e. destroy) your object */
function save() {... }
function delete() {... } ./* to retrive something (i.e. from database), I already talked about this */
function findAll() {... }
function findById($id) {... }
function findByIds($ids) {... } ./* if you want to sort a list of something, you can use that function
* to help sort the result.
* example: usort($list_of_something, array("Something", "compareByName"));
* see: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.usort.php
*/
function compareByName($a, $b) {... } }
So you may work it out like this:/* $list_of_something = array(); */ $list_of_something = Something::findByIds(array(3,10,14));// retrieve Something with id 3, 10 and 14 $list_of_something[] = Something::findById(126);// add Something with id 126
usort($list_of_something, array("Something", "compareByName"));// will sort the list by the name of Something.
Well here you don't use Something::compareByName()... but it is used staticly.
When I write this, I feel it is clean (of course it is a pretty simple case too). But I think those can be useful and clean way to use static method for a class.

Then, why not offer a "buy track" and a "buy album-only" options? ;-)
That is, if it is really a matter of track vs. album. It probably go further for some.
Often people act slowly because of fear.
Sometime fearing is good. But sometime the "try it and you will know it" is way cheaper (in time), will put you in confidence, and make you learn faster.
Even you geeks that are all in confidence sometime are stopped by fear in computer or other topic. You just have to be conscious about it.

All developers are created equal well as anything in life, created I dunno, but people are not equal. And some people are better than someone else in about everything, the reason they evoluate that way is maybe they does apply the other tips you put here. When you don't go nuts about error (but learn for exemple), when you tell the truth, when you don't go nuts about something 3 days when you can just get over it in 5 mins, etc. those kind of attitude is hard for most people that are not used to apply them to accept it and then make people that apply it feel bad. Did I lost you here with my bad english and my improvised text? Like an analysis I should review my text, make it better, it will have a better effect, be less ambigous, force me to improve my english... but... I don't have time! (...)
The fastest way through the project is to do it right often it is. And if it is not done the right way (and for legitimate reason), don't be afraid to refactor.
Now you could just buy a device that will allow you to have as much saved games as you want (I believe there exist some for NES too, probably something called Game Saver, but I might be wrong on the name).
Of course being hypocrite is so often characterized with being smart.
... common.
Why act realistically is something wrong?
All people are trying to lie to everyone around.
What is important is what you do, what you achieve, etc.
"Be professional"
Anyway, if you don't fit in the mould you are not smart? If you are not a 9-5 person, you are not smart? If you don't get the average grade at school (but more than average!), you are not smart?
Would you prefer an employee who play games, take it easy in life but work hard to deliver result or someone who work "very hard" to achieve... nothing?
I don't remember the behavior of opera about it... but I know some browser use to just try www + name + .com if the address is unreachable. For example if you type example and it doesn't find anything (no local computer mapped to example with a webserver) then it will try to reach www.example.com
;-) -- I bet you can change the keyboard layout entirely and we can get productive again... however now it has become natural to me... I don't even think when I type... it is like talking... it scare me now that I type and think of it.
Personally I am not used to CTR+Enter and don't use it... but once we get used to something and gain some time with it, I can see it feel important for us...
An example of feature I was probably wrongly using was that in IE I was using ctrl+tab-key to go to the adresse bar fast... now I am used to use alt+d (which work also in IE, in Windows Explorer, etc.) -- I was just "used" to ctrl+tab to achieve this in IE. Now I barely use that way to do even thought before I adopted it... it is just a small proof that we can train ourself to be efficient (and maybe more) at something we are not used to. Just think at when you started typing and how it looked magical that some people could type without look at the keyboard
Also -- I re-retried Opera recently and I was trying to do ctr+t for new tabs... because I am used to Firefox way (even thought it is not 100% my first browser, I use it a lot now). I have tried Opera since 2.x or 3.x days (if not before)... and it always has been quite cool, with interesting feature, mega fast, etc. It just wasn't mainstream.

Why not just move your target again? Maybe it doesn't seem like a solution in life to always change and sometime we reasonate with, it will turn out again the same with . Well maybe that is true, and what if you needed to change each 5 years.
Of course there is maybe stuff we gain benefical when it makes 10 years doing something.
It is easy to say, probably uneasy to do (i.e. take the risk to do), but we can always change and experiment something else.

"I still don't see much of a benefit on doing that, you mean that i don't need to instantiate the class to be an object? (ie. no $something = new Class;)"
No, I may have expressed myself wrongly or it is just still unclear to you.
Actually if you call Object::someMethod(); you are just calling the method that is defined as static for the class (even if in PHP4 for example, there is no static).
In that static method, you won't be able to use thing like $this, because you are not working on an instance of the object ($this being a pointer to the instance of the object), you are just calling it.
So if you have a function that doesn't do anything on the object itself, but you want it associated with your class definition, you may use it that way.
Example that I saw is like when you want to retrieve a list of Something.
You will do:
Something::findAll();
Something::findById($id);
etc.
You could as well code a function:
find_all_something(); or something_find_all(); amd it will be the same.
Some more code (unfortunaly it doesn't look as right on slashdot preview, but you may copy it in some editor to read it better)
class Something
{
var $id;
var $name;
var $description;
.
function setId($id) {
function getId() {
function setName($id) {
function getName() {
function setDescription($id) {
function getDescription() {
.
function save() {
function delete() {
.
function findAll() {
function findById($id) {
function findByIds($ids) {
.
* to help sort the result.
* example: usort($list_of_something, array("Something", "compareByName"));
* see: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.usort.php
*/
function compareByName($a, $b) {
}
So you may work it out like this:
$list_of_something = Something::findByIds(array(3,10,14));
$list_of_something[] = Something::findById(126);
usort($list_of_something, array("Something", "compareByName"));
Well here you don't use Something::compareByName()
When I write this, I feel it is clean (of course it is a pretty simple case too). But I think those can be useful and clean way to use static method for a class.
Hope that help
