Amazing how far we have come from the decades of macosx where they all looked pretty obvious that a button was a button. This obsession with flatness and completely undiscoverable user interface components without wildly flailing around the

You're effectively experimenting on your child? Don't you think the repurcussions might be severe?

Microsoft's documentation is by and large far superior. My old boss used to say that Apple wasn't a developer company and I would scoff but I think it's true when you compare them to Microsoft.

What in a basic office needs 8GB RAM?! I used Word 6.0 under Windows 95 with 64MB of RAM! Have you looked at Activity Monitor to see what is butchering your memory?!

Out of interest, what electric car have you ordered? A VW ID3 or something? I was wondering about the ID3 because the batteries are built into the floor and seem to only have a 100k miles lifetime, which is nothing for a VW and will destroy

Are you talking about Component Object Model, COM? If so, that predates Vista by many Windows releases.

What DAW are they using? I use my iPad as a remote for Presonus Studio One sometimes, but I couldn't consider using it as the recording system itself, since the AU and VST accessibility isn't there. I would also use my iPad as a s

Probably cultured related, like you say. In both instances they disturb the train of thought which is why I am not a huge fan of open plan offices, nor instant messaging during coding and concentrating. It’s why libraries don’t have buzzers

And how is real-time chat “supposed to” work? It presents a text box to type into. The text that I type in there is proper English, with correct punctuation and sentence structure. I don’t see how it being real-time suddenly means you need

Any monopolies? It's just like playing along to Google's game (including vague "exact" matches for adwords) because there's no alternative, and no recourse. It stinks.

Oh no Pottering at work again! That's what finally drove me from Linux - PulseAudio and having dysfunctional stuttery sound after upgrading from Fedora 7 to 8 I think?? It worked fine beforehand. And then realising I was spending forev

Fascinating, thanks!

Sorry, I misunderstood you saying that you had them to indicate they were in use.

jSignature looks interesting. I wrote something like that for capturing signatures on Android years ago, where you work out each plot until the user lifts their finger. I wonder if you could recreate signatures by examining the depth of the

Thanks for the explanations. I realise that the spatial file manager is missing these days, but I prefer the navigation file manager. Whenever I use BeOS I find the plethora of open windows for each directory unnavigable. You can get Finder

All of these points sound like macos apart from 4, possibly 6 and definitely 7. Your home directory is your profile/account (what's the difference on a single computer?).

Very interesting machine, thanks! I wonder if it does an analysis on input to determine where the start/end marks on a stroke with a fountain pen are.

Good point!! You have highlighted my foolish complaint!

Thanks! Very informative! What was it like living in the desert? Where abouts was it in the world? Sounds an interesting life.

It is interesting that people were horrible or selfish or manipulative before the Internet, before the Web, and are horrible or selfish or manipulative AFTER widespread adoption of the Web and these "platforms". It's almost l

I must accept I am out of touch with the kids, like Principal Skinner... "why not" is quite a good question though. I will ponder, thanks.

Audio fidelity! CDs were better than cassettes, even the later metal coated tape! CDs had no easily-discernable hiss for the most part (although a few early tape to CD transmissions were very hissy). Having said that, cassetes were far more

That's a good way of looking at it, thanks.

But Windows 95 wasn't too bad once you removed the bloatware! In fact I think it's faster to use in daily usage due to the lack of animations and GUI candy than modern Windows. Also, I have an Android device and have had them sinc

But docking an old iPod onto a dock was possible with one hand due to the wide connector. It isn't like it's an important problem to solve. Using 2 hands to put a cable into a device - is this really too difficult?? Using two hand

I agree it is a bad pattern. Remove features from a device to force you to buy an alternative accessory. Nowhere else would anybody accept this - eg. a car that came without a steering wheel so you had to buy one. Next they'll take the

I think the sun will outlive the lightning port. Unless the sun explodes, in which case technically it would have ended prior to its contents hitting Earth and destroying the lightning port.

I had one of these in my old car and can't really find a good place to put it in my new car. It's a pity as it was incredibly useful. Neodymium magnet I think.
