While there is room for innovation with web-based UIs, they are just really inconsistent. In fact Firefox sticks out like a sore thumb compared to other apps on my OS. And I find it a real annoyance. That's why there is a niche for a bro

Exactly, I think they caught on as they are a more intuitive UI than delving into your history or using bookmarks. When rendered repeatedly until you read them (perhaps weeks after,) they make for very expensive bookmarks. Tabs/history/bo

Thanks, I somehow totally missed that!

Terry Gilliam's film: Brazil spotlights the absurdity of bureaucracy. Is Brazil renowned for theirs?

Interesting nonetheless. It draws some analogies with software license agreements. I start out trying to read them, but if they exceed a few paragraphs - I skip to the bottom, check the checkbox and proceed. I lie. I guess one good thin

Noticed the 'tabs-on-demand' feature a few weeks back in Nightly. That's a great feature, that should have been in there earlier. You can turn this behaviour off as well. I'd like to see perhaps the option to turn it off on an individual

Title is misleading. The article discusses why learn Python instead of C# as a first language. Missing: Python being cross platform (arguably more so than C#.)

Most sites could use pre-made systems with a minor amount of look and feel tweaks. So I think a lot of it comes down to sales/con men and snobbery. And possibly programmers getting lost down rabbit holes.

Yeah but you don't have to just sit there and twiddle your thumbs while your machine boots. You can just do something else. I'm sure we waste far more time during the day doing other things. We don't necessarily obsess over those types

While I like a fast boot, you've go to get these things a little into perspective, a minute to the desktop isn't that bad.

It didn't matter if it was Google or another company to them. What was putting them off was the thought of having to manage yet another online identity and remember the credentials. These people aren't power users. They can just about c

It's nice to get the appropriate response when it's needed. I once had a flat on my bike, and tried for about 20 minutes to flag down cyclists (on a busy route) that I could see had a pump (I didn't have one, but I had a new tube). Eventua

That's a good thing. It's really easy to get lost in comments. In some ways it would be nice to hide all comments until you make one. Though you'll probably end up with a list of the same remarks. In some ways you have that already! (P

I wish these things were decentralised. Somewhere in my browser there should be settings to set up my 'like' service, and the same for sharing and blogging and a whole gamut of activities. Plus a simple way to switch between these, and tu

You don't need a Google account to access YouTube. You might need one to post comments, upload and access private videos - but it's not a necessity.

Actually I do think it's a big mistake and here is a simple reason why: I was wanting to share a Google document with family members a year ago. And those without Google accounts simply were not interested in getting one - despite my want

Nice to hear such enthusiasm. Sadly I lost track a little early on...

Suspend to Ram is great, but my battery dies by the morning in this mode. Plus I figure if I ever buy an SSD, hibernate will be my preferred option.

Oh well. I agree with you on this one being a bit of a show stopper, even if there are applicable workarounds.!

Developing what with? I got hacked off with issues with multiple monitors - and in the end - just went back to one monitor with multiple work spaces. I figured in the end they were nothing but a distraction.

That's useful to know.

That sounds really nasty. I wonder what the intrinsic issue is?

In Sri Lanka there is a pecking order. And bigger wins out. High mass vehicles haven't got the ability to stop quickly - or get out the way like a pedestrian or cyclist so I understand that. However I can't help but feel that we have our p

* Inconsistent desktop UIs and administration tools This one is just the nature of the beast of having disparate distributions. But the others hold true. There is progress don't get me wrong, but these are issues none the less.

I used Yast in 2000, and generally had a good experience with Suse. The distro won out for me, as I could configure Yast through an ncurses interface. You had to surrender some control to Yast, which was both a blessing and a curse. An is

I agree with you about the music. I used to listen to music on my push bike - but I don't now - mainly because if I turn it up to the point I can actually hear it over the din of the cars, I'd damage my ears. I could always hear the traff

I actually thought that Jaywalking was a joke - until I visited America. And it was incredibly frustrating for someone from the UK to cross the roads. I really loathed it. In my mind the rule of the road is something like: Pedestrians&#6
