  1. TFA only a history of windowing systems. on A Non-Dogmatic History of the GUI · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ok, so we have a history of GUIs for windowing systems. It's a shame because there is just much more GUI out there. I'd like to see more on modern GUI than highlighting the start menu, and double buffered windows.
    I want to learn about tk, QT, java GUI, .net, MFC, the webapp, the thinclient, up to the modern day.
    The benefit being so much more use of the word GUI!

  2. Re:Byte Code Is "Open" on Will Sun's Java Go Open Source? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I agree that centralized control is a good thing. Then we don't have to wait 10 years between changes versions of the standard like with c++. Also if standard people also implement the thing, they'll only include things they intend to implement. There won't be orphaned features in the standard that never get implemented like template export.

  3. XML GUI layouts? on Adobe Unveils Open Source Library · · Score: 1

    So now that it's been cleared up what this library is, enough with the wxwindows/qt comparisons. On with the relevant comparisons! Can anyone offer comparisons to XUL or the java XML swing stuff? Do we really need more platform independent GUI layout? I dont know that much about this stuff which is why I ask.
