What is wrong with referring your users to the download/install page? It's opt-in in the same way as clicking a dialog is. The way they did it is sneaky, disarming and opt-out.

I think you may be doing it backwards then. Trial-and-Error, or mental modelling were working out fine for me when I was just starting to learn how it all worked. But now it's down to critical and logical thinking processes. I don't build

Run it on MS Word X, then. Or OOO v3. And draw any meaningful conclusions from that data. Better yet, how do I write reliable software that runs on a buggy processor? What do I use to test that the chip I'm making does what it is suppose

There is no mathematically rigorous way of proving that any given piece of code does or doesn't do anything. It all depends on the context in which the code is being used. Building software is a trial-and-error process, and building large

Not everyone does, mate. I know a good-looking guy, tall, gray-blue eyes, blond, nice build and great social skills, that just happens to think exactly the way you described. I myself am a moderately sexful person. And I happen to enjo

"Smell of books" people. I love books. I love reading what's written good, and immersing in a stream of the author's ideas, as they flow in a fluid way, slowly unfurling and settling in with me; not necessarily to stay, but to be weighted

Even more helpful, thank you. With your permission I'll be quoting you to my boss, maybe he'll get into the idea that this Windows Server is the wrong way to go for our purposes. Of particular use is the SSL/FTP or WebDAV comment, Add/Remov

Thank you. Your insight has been most helpful, particularly the "buy a book" part. I'll do everything I can to delegate that job, and somehow escape the responsibility in the process.

Ice cream is not necessary. Do you not want it? It's not like this is going to be a way to bug you on the go, right, it's not like a phone. It's just there for when you need it. Nothing wrong with ice cream.

1) You just did. 2) Intel/Mac or Intel/Linux, so you can run IE6/7 in a VM/Wine. Macs are lower maintenance. 3) TextMate/Coda or Xcode (or Scribes in Gnome) will be your definite friends, as well as Terminal and Firefox/Safari's debuggi

Try the UNSW YouTube lectures with Richard Buckland, one of them mentions "problem solving" through abstraction, targeting and planning; and may well be what you're looking for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1I7WKncE64

I speak Hebrew, when I have to. That's not the kind of attitude I want towards a programming language. Hebrew doesn't scale. Neither up nor down. You can't dumb down Hebrew, it is already a very young language. And you can't extend it up

It is all subjective, Brian. For me the lack of management (malware, registry, NTFS) was a big boon back in 2005. The magical UNIX terminal where you could get new functionality by piping pieces together into your own customized tool was h

I use marijuana. I also use tea. And tomato juice. I'd say it does affect your coding, to the worse. However, it makes your creative thinking and problem-solving more enjoyable, which is a good thing, and positively gives you a boost.

I did actually mean both . They have less of simpler features, a clear and focused solution to a problem that did not exist (or did exist, but wasn't obvious). I really love that, the "less is more" approach, the "do one thing and do it
