I run into the very occasional software package where pressing 'insert' does not put the damn thing in overstrike mode. If I want to replace text, I'll highlight it. It's not even overstrike mode that's really the problem, it's how easy it is to accidentally activate something that's so rarely desired.
I probably sound like an elitist prick. What I really mean is that a jury trial can be a bit of a roll of the dice with respect to composition. I suppose a panel of judges is to a degree as well, but I think it's much less so.
I think the accuracy is more important than the number of acquittals. If it were me, and I were innocent, I'd rather have a panel of judges than a jury of my 'peers'.
That seems like a very bad idea as all-caps has been proven to be more difficult to read than lower or mixed case. Sometimes conventions need a push... not that this will be that push. If your software knows something should be in upper case, it can convert should automatically.
Tapping Shift 5 (configurable?) times will lock Caps in Windows if you enable 'sticky' keys... and by 'sticky', I do not mean in the more traditional SlashDot style.
They do seem to compress them. It's not just commercial either. The 'tabloid' shows and others of that ilk seem to compress their entire shows, with every word pegged to maximum. As with music it's very tiring, even leaving the content out of it.
What I end up doing is muting the TV, perusing SlashDot or my news feeds and forgetting about the watching TV. I'm betting I'm not the only person like that either. It's their loss more than mine, I think.
However it was crap then they would make their own or just not bother with your product.
The test for code quality is not usually boolean. If someone has put work into something, and they have a lot of the basics in, or they've got a lot of the complex logic in place, but have a bad UI, then something is worth building on or improving. Yes, occasionally you run into code where the quality is so low it's not worth using, but most of the time you can use some of the work that was done.
They do file more patents than anyone else, and have done a couple of nasty things against open source software, but they do do a lot of research, especially it seems at the low level on hardware, and they do a lot of good in the open source work (Eclipse, etc). I'd be ok with them as long as I didn't work at places that are stuck using their software. I really wish people would stop buying it, it just encourages them.
I don't even know if the pay required from lobbyists is that high anymore. Some of these agencies seem to be quite agreeable to fascism with a very small push.
I've been thinking recently that North Korea is probably boosting its economy by buying stock short, then sinking ships, shelling South Korea, etc, to drive the prices down. One could actually make a very large profit that way. Or I suppose they could just be nuts, sometimes it's hard to tell.
I'd even be happy reading the sideways text, but there are several widgets (indicator widget?) that are 150ish pixels wide and do not even rotate sideways, meaning they're useless. I finally gave up and started using the panel at the top with Docky at the bottom, but perhaps it's time to have another look at KDE.
Managers hate being left out. Too bad too... Agile works quite well and generally creates good software and happy clients. Most of the process software only leaves happy sales-people. (process software sales-people specifically).

Why the hell do I keep hearing the "Imperial March" in my head?
... and the problem with that is what, exactly?
Most people tend to use the same username and password for every site they register on, and their email.

The browser plug-in is an excellent idea. I'd also give it the option to blank out the all-caps comment as opposed to case-converting it.

... and for developers, right underneath one of the keys that is used most frequently as well.

I would bet that Apple is sharing the data, but only with those who pay them for the data.
They actually take suggestions
WP7 combines all the openness of the iPhone with all of the trendy shininess of Android!

Check out Google Squared). It's frequently good enough.

Traceability=Butt covering over efficiency.
Not always true of course, but there's a strong correlation.

Yeah, you laugh, but they can do it without any special hardware. Millions were convinced that copy and paste and multi-tasking were a bad idea.
but not for ENTERPRISE.
Yeah, but how many of us can actually afford a proper starship.
