Comment rounded corners - i don't need that (Score 1) 49

I don't need rounded corners, i need better non-hinding cursors to manipulate the windows. That needs to be customizable without any fancy stuff. I need speed and accuracy. I'll pay for an Apple/Microsoft/Google if i want to play - i'm using linux because it's a serious system. I'm using KDE without animation and i turn all the fancy stuff off. But the scrollbar is one absolutely annoying feature. I just want it big enough, not hiding, to be able to select it precisely. There's no need to follow Microsoft, Apple & Google. Just keep going on with proven interfaces. If you see how unusable Adobe apps, Google Chrome & Office from Microsoft have become. I'd want to send 'm to hell for the GUI nightmare they're creating.

Comment we want tougher internet-trafic control (Score 1) 170

Banning Tiktok isn't enough - cutting China off the internet is not enough... We want tougher measures. Iran, Russia, North-Corea, white-Russia, Syria, Iran, Cuba, Venezula, South-Africa, Brazil cut 'm all off. Who's not cooperating with us about Ukraine - doesn't need any internet. And while we're at it - a worldwide ban of trading, generating and possesion of e-currency would destroy the ability to have illegal funding - for governements (Russia, North Korea) drugdealers, illegal traffic, malware...

Comment the question (Score 1) 63

Isn't the question - who's first commercial tourist voyage in space - followed by the question - who burns the first tourist in space? Followed by the question - are you insured - and under which jurisdiction will this be judged? The lawyer cost may run higher than building and designing the pig wocket! Yes - i want to watch live "pigs in space!"

Comment mr. Jordan is right for once in his life! (Score 1) 81

Dear mr. Jordan - i don't like you at all - but for once in your lifetime you said something that is correct. Microsoft ought to be considered as a big-tech company that's also abusing it's stores and closed operating systems-power. Look at Edge - Look at Exchange, Look at Office, Look at Azure, Look at Office365, Look at Teams, look at Skype, look at Linkedin, Look at Bing... All products that are pushed into the markets through integration.

Comment boeing is in very bad shape (Score 1) 118

Boeing is now paying the heavy price for not staying competitive. They fell asleep - and then you make errors. Watch out Airbus! The chinese are coming - and Boeing will be back - with or without the help of Trump (i don't like that ex-president - and the sooner he's gone the better!). What about the maker of the motors? How will that impact fare? Good news for Rolls Royce??? Maybe.

Comment old habits never change! (Score 1) 99

I don't believe Microsoft - and no matter how long we have to wait - sooner or later the old Microsoft will come back and haunt us again. It's like the fox tale! I'll never forget the cancer remark from Steve Ballmer - and i'll never forgive Microsoft for that. It's a company - and a company cannot be trusted - first page in every good economical course.

Comment one to go on my list of 3 (Score 1) 206

We all fear this virus - but there's one thing honnest about all this. Nobody is safe from it. Neither Boris Johnson, nor Bolsonaro - but there's still someone we hope he'll get it to to learn to be more down to earth. And we all can guess who we are pointing to. Of course the most beloved president who's living in a small white house. He doesn't need to die - just give him the normal sufferings - that's all we request (not the light one - but the one that takes more than half a year to get cured).

Comment it'll get a lot worse before it gets better (Score 1, Informative) 166

I'm amazed at what i see happening in your country. We from the outside see the real numbers - it's pure horror. No leadership at all from the White house, the GOP blocking real help for the hardest hit states - amazing! We are watching these shows with tremendous horror. And when we watch Fox News sometimes - we fall from our chairs - out of unbelief that someone is capable of believing all this fake news. We do realise there's even worse. We watch the white house speeches to have a good laugh - it's free humor. And we do hope the cartoon-makers can bring your president down. That's the advise i'll give to Joe Biden - you can hit him hard by using humor. A good cartoon sticks longer than a good speech. You don't need much time - create cartoons, short movies - and put them between the Trump hatred. It'll give the highly needed contrast. Trump cannot have it to be laughed with - he'll expose all his weaknesses to the voters. Hit him where it matters - his corrupt family. His tax releases - the interference with justice. The fact that the constitution is something he uses to clean his shoes with... We do view Trump as the ultimate evil - and that's a sad thing to say about what should be a befriend nation.
