I agree, just wandering out in space ain't that fun.... haven't tried tit myself, but would be good to be aiming somewhere than just being in a gravity free zone.
This is not a problem in NZ. Is this an American thing? I work in an open plan office in NZ at an un-named Tertiary institution and its great. There are anywhere between 5-7 of us in the room at any time and the communication within the team is excellent, thought provocative and means we're not just staring at a screen all day, which needs time away from now and then.
Cheers,
If companies could work together developing cool apps then that would be cool, because then they could share ideas and integrate software. really is there a need to have thousands of different CMS tools out there that all do pretty much the same thing? And if they're using a standardised language like PHP, or Java then the platform support is wider.
I think the reality is that while some companies are looking after their own interests this probably not going to happen. But they are starting to realise the user matters. But how can we design software that fits every ones needs? We just possibly can't? Its about writing good, clear documentation that users understand and they just bite the bullet in terms of adhering to the software...
cheers
Big brother is watching you!
Its getting pretty close to people now wanting as much information about you as they want. How about connecting nodes to our heads or a "head scanner". Now that is dangerous, they'lll probably try and read our thoughts.
For people who are behaving deceptively and trying to avoid the law, they're the only ones who are going to lose out. Is the average Joe going to be concerned really?
Its interesting because everything that makes up our identity these days is so based around our job, drivers licence, age, shape etc etc. I wonder how other cultures outside the western world would treat this?
Would you want someone taking your identity away from you? Maybe we need to back to basics and just live more simply perhaps?

yes exactly the world seems to be just coming more like the web where it doesn't matter what information people have or know about us. I mean really the government already knows about us already most things, so whats one more person or group of people going to matter.

And then variables that describe what you're going to use them for? Thats probably helpful. e.g. It is no use using a variable called $no_of_donkeys to use in a tax calculation. Probably better using something like $tax_amount.
Nesting is good so that people can see where ifs end and start as well as loop statements etc...
See how code from Open Source software HotcakesCMS is written, it uses named variables that make sense. Downloadable from Sourceforge or below:

The other one automtaically prints from the browser which can be annoying for some users, especially those without a printer or a slow machine.
