"Paste Plain Text: Wild-ass guess -- the text on the clipboard is ALREADY plain text, or is a format (like an image) that can't be converted logically to plain text."
The programs already knows the answer to why. Why guess?
It is weird and pointless, but not exactly trivial. Since BASIC doesn't expose pointers to the programmer, you need a custom operand to compare them. And this patent only covers BASIC-style languages, as you can clearly see from the claims.
The interface also needs a good dose of "what would make sense here". Like pressing Play on the Music Library doesn't do anything, and it should play the whole music library. Instead they need another menu item to do that.
I've had pretty good success printing the hi-rez version of these at Ofoto as 8x10s. (Actually I did the B&Ws at the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal. They look excellent and it only costs a couple of bucks. And since it's all public domain, it's completely legal.
Have you used a DJ? Its main navigation is a pushable scroll wheel, like on a mouse. To play a song, you only need to use that one thing. Or you can press the play button at most menu levels to just play everything below it. It's not as hideous as you make it out to be.
The only buttons on the side are the volume and the record (which is similar to an old-fashion minitape recorder).

Oh no my 200 GB drive is going to fill up with XML files.
To an interface designer, inconsistent is the same thing as incorrect.
That's funny how you consider that it uses Java a feature, while I consider that a crippling flaw comparied to Google's implementation.
Can a remote site actually get access to this information, or is it only displayable on the screen?
You're right, it may only be misleading and unprofessional.
It's amazing how badly Firefox screwed up extension versioning. This procedure is an apt demonstration.
I've never had enough faith in Tivo as a company to go for lifetime. I figure the second I do they'll go bankrupt.
Where the cover story on PC Magazine was:
WordPerfect vs. Word
And how badly corrections spread when everyone is just copy-and-pasting the "news".
Some of the features are only available in the Flash interface, and I don't see what the benefit is anyway. Too gee-whizzy.
You probably shouldn't count the salsa stations.
They are intentionally supposed to be cheap or even free, and meant for beginnning developers. Like the way Delphi does it.
Generally, the way it works is that if you want to access external data sources, like a business would, you have to buy the IDE.

I don't think I would have chosen "inspiring" as the adjective in this case.
5 MB vs. 4 MB. And it has two headphone jacks.
It goes up to 320 kbps MP3 encoding now. How is that crippled?
The review.
That engine page is actually way more interesting than this slashdot article.
Notesbuddy from IBM does this for Lotus Notes, it also has support for POP3 but I've never used that. Plus it's free.
But only hundreds with 3 digit ones.
Very true about the limitation of the wheel.

By random chance, I happened to see that there's another photo that shows it goes to the video camera they used to film the EVAs:

Way better than paying someone else for a print.
