They got to get rid of the Space Nazis first. Duh.

Problem with modern user interfaces is that they usually have waay too many buttons/options!

Every user interface is actually two user interfaces, one in the mind, and one on the screen. Every image on the screen first goes trough the "filter" in your brain, and this filter is different for everyone. But if you make a large part of the user interface a part of the "filter" in your mind, you also gain a better understanding of what you're doing. Would you think it would be better if while programming you had a button for "for loop" "while loop" "new method", a button for everything? Learning programmling like that would be very annoying.

It's a bit like the "command line" vs "user interface" debate. You trade a slightly higher learning curve for a better understanding and usage later on. If you're gonna build a WYSIWYG interface with all the capabilities of the normal interface, it'll probably end up more complicated than the normal interface.

Look, I'm not saying abstractions are bad, they're very important, but you have to put those abstractions in the mind of the user, not on a screen as buttons.

Make them indistinguishable from a normal .png or a piece of text. Or is there some technical reason why this can't be done?

not *other properties

Correlation does not imply causation.

Just because light travels easily trough silk does not mean that there are not properties of silk that can influence data loss.

His imagination will take care of the rest!

This being Slashdot, would it not make sense for there to be more Android articles? Is there just too much Apple astroturfing going on Slashdot or is it just me?

Makes you think of ponies.

Firefox crashes CONSTANTLY on my pc! Sometimes I have 10 windows open with 10-20 tabs in each and then it crashes, it's so annoying. This is my main problem with Firefox, plus, I got like 20 extensions and one of them might be the culprit, but how is it my job to find out which one??. My second biggest problem is that youtube works very bad compared to chrome.

Chrome simply doesn't crash all the fucking time.

There is not really much to discuss here. Yes, ridiculing people about how little they know about the interwebs is fun, this is mostly history everybody here knows.

ah I get it. I was thinking of an array of 64 elements, where each element is a Complaint class, while you were thinking of a simple counter.

If you have an array of ints:
int[] numberList = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }
and someone asks you, how many ints are in this array? Do you say 3 or 4?

no, if indexes go from 0 to 63, and it allows 64 elements :->
