is that there are certain software packages that don't have comparable alternatives. I am a consultant for website work and I use Dreamweaver heavily. I know what you're thinking. This is some Id10t that can't program a php script or html to save his life. If thats what you thought you'd be wrong. I'm as happy in vi as notepad. I'll gladly use lynx to browse the net remotely on my server if I need to. I love linux and I would love to use it as my dedicated desktop os. I use a dedicated linux server (CentOS) for hosting my client's websites. I have tried many different distros many different times. As a individual consultant, I realize that I need programs like Dreamweaver to be able to compete. I have tried as many website development applications as I can find and I even began working on my own, but until I finish it or Dreamweaver is released for Linux(not likely since I'm pretty sure it uses the IE engine to process some of it's javascript) I'm stuck with windows. I can do the same work in dremweaver that I can in notepad in like 1/4 of the time. When I'm meeting a potential client, I want to have a comparable price and time quote and Dreamweaver is how I can do that. For graphics I prefer Photoshop but I would gladly use the GIMP instead.
---It's lack of high bandwidth parking which causes congestion rather than lack of roads.
yes, I have always thought that connecting a T1 or OC3 to a parking garage would be verry helpful.
Let me start by saying that I live in the suburbs of atlanta and work in Midtown, so I have had some experience with traffic.
My theory regarding the reason for most accidents / traffic jams is simple. People generally are stupid. Now before you discredit my theory consider this. I have studied some user interface design and I am aware that humans can process 7 +/- 2 pieces of data in short term memory. Yes, we humans routinely handle more information than that but that has to do with our ability to group stimuli / data. Many accidents / traffic jams occur at places on the interstate / road with signs that have 2 or more pieces of information to convey. People can't process 2 pieces of data. Additionally, when a person comes to an intersection or exit they are forced to make a decision. For example: Should I get on I-675 or stay on I-285? People can't make decisions.
Now to leave you with one final thought. I know that generalizations are always bad. (well not so much in programming but that's another topic).
