  1. Re:OLPC old farts think kids are dumb like them on OLPC's UI To Be Kid-Tested In February · · Score: 0

    The OLPC UI design is focused on people who never used a computer, heck some maybe never saw one..

    I think it is wise to create a GUI which is maybe "too easy to use" so everyone (maybe with a handicap) can use it..

  2. Re:URL Bar on OLPC's UI To Be Kid-Tested In February · · Score: 1, Informative

    Next to "does not show it" the author clearly states it isn't there.. To try it yourself (and succeeding in finding the url-bar), go to the url: http://thefinalzone.blogspot.com/2006/10/running-o lpc-emulator.html In short, get Q-Emu running and download the image from: http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/devel opment/

    Switch to a Mac?

    I think if you want to get rid of DRM problems, Apple isn't the way to go...
    (They started the "mainstream" acceptation of DRM technologies with iTunes and iPod).

  4. Re:Windows: Generations on Looking Beyond Vista To Fiji and Vienna · · Score: 1

    That's not true. It's because in Linux, you have to go back to the 1980's, when you had to memorize esoteric commands in order to get your computer to do what any 4 year old can do now in Windows with a mouse. Well, you don't literally go back in time, but the functionality is reminiscent of the 1980's. Ugh. You might as say, "punch cards are just a bit different". This is like comparing the Windows commandprompt (cmd.exe) to the (GNU) Bash terminal running on top of the Linux Kernel.
    I think distro's like Redhat and Ubuntu have perfectly shown that GNU/Linux in combination with X11 and Gnome (or KDE) has the same usability (or even better in my opinion) then the Windows GUI. If you think otherwise, maybe it's time to move from the 1980's to the current time (almost 2007) and try a modern distro... Maybe you'll like it!

    By the way, if you would compare cmd.exe with Bash... cmd.exe would turn out pathetic! :)
  5. Re:What is the quality of MSN's search like? on Microsoft Hopes Prizes Will Attract New Searchers · · Score: 2, Funny

    However, MSN isn't advertising anywhere near as aggressively as Google is.

    Oh, wait. I think you forgot to disable Adblock..
