Or like Half Life 2...
I played with the leaked alpha... I wish they hadn't changed so much... The took out some of the coolest guns...
MDIs and dockable toolbars are ugly and annoying
Those little floating toolbars are the most annoying things in the world. Every time I try to do something they're in the way. And I find docked to be much more elegant than something that you can't figure out where to put so you just leave it floating.
I was sooo happy when Photoshop (CS3?) moved to dockable toolbars. They even did a really nice job of it. And they left the choice open to the user. Why restrict someone that might have a different working style?
This is also one of the big things keeping me from using OSX as my main OS. That and the common ribbon menu at the top... Apps should be in their single main window, with the occasional popup.
But I do love the contextual inspector palettes like in M$ Office and SolidWorks.
the fact that Windows is the most widely used OS, suggests that backward compatibility matters.
Because M$ has never had issues with compatibility...
Well yes. That's my point.
The people behind Wikileaks aren't anonymous, don't need to be, and have chosen not to be. They are trying to provide a way for whistleblowers to be anonymous, which is what would keep someone from coming forward with whatever leak.
So yes, it IS really anonymous for those that want/need to be.
This naming scheme is obviously not as good for interchangeable or cluster machines. You use unique names for unique computers.
However, combining the two works well. If you have a cluster of computers, give the entire a cluster a name, then each machine is named as <name>-xx.
could be powered by batteries, radio waves, or solar power
Or wave power! like the Google data centers!
Then they will be pushed to developing games for linux.
With games developed for a linux based console, it would be an easy switch (if not trivial) to distribute them to linux PCs. That's part of why the windows + xbox releases are so easy to make.
Though M$ likes that they have control over industry and won't give it up without a fight.
OVER NEGATIVE TWENTY DAYS
You mean "less than" right?
Ps. Damn filter isn't letting me post this without this ps. b/c you're quote has too many caps...
Maybe not as easy as you think. Watch the videos; they've come up with some very clever ways that the voting machines can tamper with the paper trail.
This was just an exploit of crappy programming and an ineffective paper log on Sequoia's part and not an indication that the principle of a paper trail is flawed. For instance, in the case when the voter leaves before actually casting their vote and it is then voided could easily be avoided by making the voter aware that their vote hasn't been cast until X. If they don't bother to ensure that X happens, it's their fault. It's equivalent to handing your ballot to someone without staying to watch them drop it in the machine. If that is still too complicated for people, there can still be an optional paper equivalent.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
