Comment Re:Yeah, but they nailed the "documentation" part (Score 1) 394

You joke, but the first place I saw that happen was in GNOME. Personally I would prefer the application name to be central with the description subdued (basically reverse of how they have it in MATE, which is the limit of my current GNOME experience).

Whichever way it's done, I will say it's better than just the application name. Even better though, the files that govern what is displayed are easily (and very often are) internationalized. Eg, when you have your language set in English VLC might say "Media Player" but if you select Esperanto it might say "amaskomunikiloj ludanto" or whatever (google translate, there) - meanwhile "VLC" means nothing to someone who doesn't already know what it does.

Welcome to the command line, where you have to actually know something about the system to use it. The GUIs don't have this problem so much as the menus are categorized and they usually have a "what this does" kind of field with them. Eg, GIMP shows as "Image Editor" with the actual name in de-emphasized styling.

They did a very good job with the sound, definitly gotta give them credit with that - everything from the lack of sounds for things you typically see presented with sound, to the sounds transduced through the suit (eg listen closely while they are working on the Hubble in the beginning).

I was also impressed with the little spurting noises from the maneuvering thrusters on the (Russian vehicle and the Chinese copy that I just for some reason cannot name at the moment).
