I never looked at it that way - but you are right - Thanks for the insight.

As for the folks yapping about typing in the search box, I wonder if that didn't get started with Windows 8, when people complained about Metro, and the faithful had to come up with some reason it was the complainers fault. I don't recall seeing much about opening programs from search before then.

I like the multiple ways of opening programs myself, because not everyone uses the same working style. It's just a pity that Microsoft picked the worst one to shove in your face with Metro.

As for me, I pin the applications I use most to the taskbar - SmartSDR, SDRCat, Firefox, Thunderbird, OO, and command prompt. Acts much like OSX's Dock.

But that's just me. I certainly don't use it as bragging rights.

Who's angry? I'm just being an agitation engineer.

p.s. to answer your question, I'm a pragmatic. I believe in what actually works, as opposed to ideology. Wildly reviled if the liberal or conservative can expand their mind enough to even acknowledge my existence, I'm the turd in the punchbowl of politics.

I can't, because the search panel program starters have made me feel inadequate and robbed me of my self esteem.

We have a real old fashioned donnybrook going on here where peopel are asserting superiority over how thy start programs. I got involved, because it's a riot as well as ridiculous. And yeah, your's is one of the funny ones.

Tell ya what sparky, Get a sense of humor, and I promise to get over myself.

Kiss kiss, and you can have the last post to call me an asshole. It's the least I can do.

Just like all the others.

Or do you just want REpublicans to have that?

Rage on!

So? do women stand in line to have your babies? You get to have a couple extra cups of coffee with teh time you save? Different people like doing it differently.

That's why they have different ways to do it. Your way is just fine, Slash dotter uber program-openers need to get a gnarly tat of thier superior program opening method to rep their street cred.

Okay, back to normal now. Lets get to arguing something important, like emacs vs vim.

While we can all argue about the milliseconds saved by.......

The right way to open programs

What Winws 8 got so wrong was that people wanted to open their programs the way that wanted to open programs. And a lot of people like shortcuts on the desktop One of the biggest complaints I got was that some of the programs (desktop apps) coulld be placed on the desktop, many couldn't (metro apps)

Not everyone is a fine typist, and we look pretty stupid trying to explain why the customer cannot have what they want, And that they have to either use both the desktop and Metro, or modern or whatever they call it at any given time.

So if a person likes search and type - fine, but least time I cehcked, there was no war declared on people who liked otherwise.

I'm certain it is our fault.

Outraged you too, I see.

Even thought they have no idea of what on earth an exascale computer is.

Probably has something to do with healthcare or activist judges..

Huh - didn't know it would be so easy......

I'm in total agreement there. My point - if there is much of one - is that hindsight is 20/20. Some times we talk about these things as if there was some major negligence by someone - It's thte old "Something happened, so someone has to go to jail" outlook. There will be more problems, and more fixes.

In the end though, if we make the thing the mythical "safe enough", it might be too heavy to fly.

be human?

LOL? Oy...

I read that as violent tendencies plus assault, possible attempted rape, and a reckless disregard for the law in general.

Report to the nearest incarceration facility.

But all joking aside, when these folk are your age, they'll probably say the same thing about showing their junk on teh netz. Just being on the internet at all exposes a whole lot about a person, you and I included. Kid's who get in fights in school aren't just given suspensions, they are some times arrested, and the police are almost always involved. Teenage sex can be a real minefield, and your driving is related to more restrictive licenising for teenagers. So your past wouldn't be quite as innocuous as you think it is.

Which by the way, might be able to fail itself, and keep the pilot from unlocking the tail section when it needs to be unlocked. Killing the pilot and co-pilot.Hellova world, eh?
