Easier in what way? Can you give us an example? How are "advanced keystrokes" in Gmail going to be easier or better for someone when all of the keyboard shortcuts are completely inconsistent with every other application (web or otherwise)?

Who? Anti-authoritarians or the mentally ill folks?

I think your summation of this article is way off. First - It was written by a lone PHd over a year before the NIMH blog post (which was written by a lone MD). Second - I don't think this author was presenting his article as "the last wor

I have a Surface Pro and have had no such problems. The Wifi interface is not different between these two devices. Do you think it's the user interface causing the connection problems or something else?

...in your opinion. But even so, it's not really going away.

Synology is doing good things in this area. They offer a "private cloud" backup and file-sharing solution, served from a (linux based) NAS, with client programs for Mac, Windows, Android and iOS. I have a home/small office model and I love

Chrome itself is a multiple document interface. So is every other tabbed interface. So is every other program that allows you to interface with multiple documents.

Maybe they did think it through, but their conclusion reveals some inexperience. It's impractical on many levels. Thus the need for kludgy solutions like blank identifiers. I'd rather see a strict mode or some other type of compiler flag.

That didn't seem to work. Have you tried throwing a temper tantrum?

Yeah, if by classier they meant closer to upper-class, then I would have to disagree too. Kirk was clearly not upper-class. Maybe they meant to say flashier or something else.

Why? Makes sense to me. Why else would Facebook want to "power my app" with Parse? Haven't they always only offered developer services for their own platform and not the wider web?

I would have accepted "it's Unix". I think that's got to be the biggest reason techies run Macs.

Visual Studio (2012) is one of the first things I installed and it works great. Some other desktop apps I have installed: VLC Media Player, Notepad++ and Balsamiq Mockups. All work well but you are forced to use the pen (or type cover/touch

I'm sorry, you complained too many times and made too little sense, so now I don't want to discuss anything at all with you =P

I've got a Surface Pro and I actually run the Win32/Desktop release of Chrome without scaling. What legacy app do you think won't work well? I'll be glad to try it out. Everything I've thrown at it so far has worked great. Even the desktop

That's great except the only thing you've proven here is your own ignorance. Shall I go on? You're spouting off about ancient history...and that somehow translates to Windows is (currently) "clumsy" on the network? Gee, I wonder why it only

by WayneDB 13y ago
Oh gawd. Please, tell us how Windows is "clumsy" to get setup on a network. Also, the "extra cost" doesn't even figure into a benchmark. Grab a 120 day trial ISO from Microsoft and install.

Good for you! Good for me too...I've always liked third person shooters and side-scrollers better anyway.

A possible point of interest for you - I use http://hckrnews.com/ to get to these stories and I think a lot of other people do to. So, even when you flag things we'll still see them. The reason I use it is because of the first paragraph o

"The notion that to get respect you can't point out problems with the existing system is a sign that the system is sick." "pointing out problems" is vastly different from what this woman did. Saying something like "Put down the crack pipes"

He said that pining/whining is not even really a choice because it won't work and he's right in my opinion. It would be a false dilemma if he said that "you cannot work towards a better system and have a good career". He did not say that th

I would think "that was the wrong thing to say", no matter who said it, including myself. Naturally, I am and have been an asshole before so I know about these things, but I learned that tact and working well with a team is more important t

Unable? I don't think so at all... Have you tried a Surface device? I got the Pro - it's a full operating system in a device the size of an iPad, with Intel i5 CPU and graphics. What's not to love? I predict that Windows is going to be incr

That's why employees should get a Microsoft Surface Pro. They get the full-featured operating system that they're used to and they can operate the full OS via touch, pen, keyboard or mouse. I've got one and I love it. No walled garden for m

Rachel sounds like a smart-ass know-it-all whiner. Saying "Put down the crack pipes" in a professional environment? Yeah this person sounds very stable :) The problem with "noting it" is that people never just "note it". They complain and t
