On the other hand, as an employee who's been on the bottom in that kind of situation, I'm not sure I'd be happy about what you did. Management would be, of course; but I'm talking about the lower-level people. What you

I find that, at least for walking extended distances over unfamiliar territory (I can't drive), having the map is very useful. Not directions, not routing, but at least a map so that I know where point A and point B are, and I can see

An interesting Xmas gift for the hacker community. So now, DOOM doesn't just run on a toaster; it also runs on vacuum cleaners. Or more, vacuum cleaners can input data to DOOM!

What's a security update? I don't expect them to be responsible for my security - that's my burden as the user to make sure that I'm using software and files I personally trust.

Having to "recompile" it means that it's not unmodified, though. Unmodified would mean that it runs like Windows programs where the same binary files work now as did then.

I am quite proudly a lag-behind when it comes to tech within the last decade. The rest of you can go on ahead and suffer all the horrible bugs that would have been found in QA testing, if the testers had been given adequate time and resour

That would have been the end of me using computers, right then and there. An operating system that updates or upgrades more than about once per decade is moving entirely too fast. 5 years about the fastest possible rate that even approach

In other news: The march toward Firefox becoming another Chrome knockoff continues unabated.

by Endy 8y ago
Oh good, so now they're bringing in another Chrome feature. Or should I say, an Opera feature that Chrome stole and wasn't necessary in Firefox.

Arguably, Myst has a more unique and deeper setting than Colossal Cave Adventure / ADVENT. Maybe it's Zork with a GUI, then, but I still love text adventure games (and seriously there's some great innovation still happening

My view may be controversial, but I'd say the Nintendo DS version. The touchscreen interface works well, the inclusion of the "RealMyst-only" ice world into the old-fashioned format is great, it's just an excellent adapt

Did you ever try RealMyst after that? It sounds like the experience you were looking for.

Go look at the Dune Legacy engine. It takes the original Dune II PAKs and adds a bunch of modern features to the game like multiple selection and unit grouping. My sole gripe is the inability to turn those features off.

Which only encourages the idea that Next is Qute's direct competitor.

They've disabled that setting.

Ah, see, there's the big difference. You and I have vastly different use-cases - something I've noticed seems to get disregarded lately in dev circles. I don't need a software library manager, I already have a file manager (W

It's a different source of tracking, and frankly speaking, we know why Microsoft wants to track us - the same reason they always have. Microsoft wants to sell us more of their own products, generally speaking. It's not about throw

I find your disdain for that feature to be amusing, because one of the first plugins I've downloaded for Firefox, SeaMonkey, and Pale Moon whenever I've installed them on a computer is an EPUB reader. As much as my genuine prefer

Chromium, great. With this move, Google gets to take one more step toward total domination of the Web. I'll be honest, I use WebKit-Edge on my iPad and it's fine; but I believe that the desktop space needs a new engine. We need

It is, and I wish I was capable of having it otherwise. I merely lack the necessary skills and equipment. There's a much lower skill hurdle to setting up your own server than there is to writing your own OS from binary up.

See, I use the "There is no cloud, only another person's computer" comment as a lesson to both my students and less tech-savvy friends - for privacy reasons. It may be an incredibly powerful computer, but the core issue is,

I went through OT for eye-hand coordination for several years. I wish I had the means to provide that level of accommodation or to successfully convince my schools to do so.

I feel that Mozilla's misdirection is one very large issue encompassing many problems.

I consider the fact that they're hiding the data and using it as a smoke-screen to do whatever the corporate side would like to do at the time or an excuse to play with whatever side project the head dev en vogue was playing with, rega

I'm glad that all of the addons you use are the ones they've approved of and which haven't been made incompatible by any of the major breaking changes they've introduced in the last few years.

It's bad for Mozilla to take a stance that's obviously against the preferences of their users. They can't play both sides of the field - either you're for the User, or you're for the Corps. I once sincerely believed

Someone else has finally figured it out.

The idea might be good. The execution is harmful to users, and they refuse to roll it back. That's all that matters. Mozilla has shown this pattern consistently - they have an idea they think will be good for people, and when it ends u

That sounds like the only way to affect the company would be to become ridiculously rich overnight and work to actively harm them.
