Yes. but then I think everyone should learn the basics of critical thinking.
Especially the capability of viewing the issue realistically from a completely opposite perspective is a skill that should be refined. Dialectics, I believe that is called.
Classic desktop means Amiga-style desktop, where the initial icons are which disks are in the drive, and double-clicking them opens a window containing more icons. This is adapted to Windows 3.0 which uses the same concept in Program Manager.
Start menu + taskbar = Windows 95 desktop, not classic desktop.
In this article's context, I'm pretty sure that "classic desktop" refers exactly to the Windows 95 -style desktop.
Back in the days, a few microsofties who worked with/for this guy would chime in with some interesting observation.
Can you show a Slashdot Windows article and comments from the past that represents what you would like Slashdot to be today?
People often have golden memories about what Slashdot used to be, but when you actually start reading the old threads again, it's mostly the same stuff as of today.
This is why using the same password for multiple sites is a big no-no.
And flipping that around a bit, it is also a security risk as so many sites allow a password reminder through e-mail. If someone cracks only your e-mail, he can just send these reminder requests around the web and get access to various sites.
Also, I cannot find a citation for the Mantle support and find it odd that an office app would support something like that anyway. Also, it's not a CPU acceleration feature like the summary claims, although it frees up CPU time as being architecture-specific it is a much slimmer API than DX/GL.
You're languishing down at Score:0 but you make a good point. If Linux ever became a really popular gaming platform, that brings with it: DRM, bloatware, spyware, enough non-tech-literates to make it a viable virus platform, etc. Basically most of what people hate about Windows.
I'm not so sure this is a good thing.
Bring it on, I say. Linux fanboys have long touted the excellent security of the OS, so let's put the thing into a good test.
Slashdot Mirror
But human hearing is logarithmic, again.
In all fairness I would bunch 8.0 and 8.1 together. Together they sum up to 10.58%.
Of course I wish you could install it in your living room. Given that the volume can kill a person, it is going to be more like dying room.
Heh! Well played.
It was written by Nerval's Lobster, a Slashdot reader.
Draw the line between basic and advanced at compiled languages.
Well, C is a basic compiled language and C++ is an advanced compiled language.
Yes. but then I think everyone should learn the basics of critical thinking.

All right, but let's expand that a bit. Should every engineer know calculus?
XFCE's compositor uses XRender and thus it tears.

With all the AJAX crap going on web browsers, why not go full circus also with the domain names while we are at it.
Sorry for posting this off-topic but there is no other place to post this

What would be good?
Maybe he meant that it's ridiculous to begin with that a simple JS application can hog an entire core.
I have no idea what you speak of
He means the articles submitted by Hugh Pickens, who has "DOT Com" in his username, which some people see as an advertisement for hughpickens.com.
What about cost of living?
I suppose you could use the fan tachometer wire to read some arbitrary data stored on that fan.

If he brings back the start button.
So he doesn't have to do anything? The Start Button is already back in Windows 8.1.
Yeah, I come across some wacky code like that every now and then.

StatCounter's 12/2013 data shows IE being at 24.91%.
The cold fact is that when people want "open source", they mostly just want something that is free in beer.
Next time, when someone is in need of open source solution, ask them for what they actually need the source code, and you'll see.
Hehheh...
