I'm forever failing to grok some websites, even though I've been working with and looking at them for years.

Yeah I really could have done with the tab order being a bit better. And flipping the card when tabbing would definitely help. Those of us familiar with data entry get really used to tabbing. It doesn't tell you if you go wrong eithe

What I'd like to see is a very basic cheap open mobile device. It might even have to shun making calls because of the proprietary hardware/software stack. Is it possible to make an open/free mobile phone right now? Alternati

Not really practical to manage a list of domains or IPs yourself, but the idea of using an opt-in filter on your DNS could offer a simple filter. You'd need to make configuring such things a little easier. Under Vista just trying to c

Exactly. I thought we'd had the intelligent debates about censorship and the Internet over ten years ago! Same old crap, wrapped in some slightly different packaging. You could call a referendum on this one and get it through, just by

Sounds to me like you have a particular and isolated use case. You describe a web developers problem, rather than normal use case. Reflowing to the window, as you drag a corner, seems computationally expensive and a waste of time IMHO. It

As I said, I've used it. But it doesn't really give me much back (apart from the headache of rendering my computer useless.) Modern libraries (!?!), and 3D graphics and window transparancies isn't really a game changer. T

Anything but to talk about the real matter. Reminds me of politicians in general. Distract you, and while you're not looking - get away with blue murder. The annoying thing is, _they_ go on about it so much, and it just permeates you

Yes that sounds about right, it's horrible to not have space.

Thanks, can the Pi with Plex or XBMC, play straight from say a USB hard drive? What's the audio quality like on it?

Could you say why? Are you using it on a touch device?

What sort of power would the XboxOne hum along at? I figure it would be a power drain. I once considered getting a Wii to turn into a media centre as it is meant to sip rather than burn juice. Electricity in the UK costs so much, that eve

Well you make it sound so easy! An issue with the technology is trying to keep up with it. I have a basic HD tv (a samsung), it's not smart. It will play media from USB, and it plays a lot of formats - only it suffers with a few anno

I want to like Gnome 3. Every now and then I give it a spin, but ultimately end up back with Xfce. It just doesn't really give me anything extra, (apart from better font rendering in Firefox for some reason, and touch pad clicking! )

If Opera do focus their attentions on the UI (not the rendering engine), then that's a good thing. And there's so many ways the web browser could be improved. I used to like Opera's bells and whistles. I loved no image mod

The Firefox name is kind of catchy (and known) so I wouldn't go that far. ;) I think the name started it started out as Phoenix, then Firebird - which they couldn't use as it was a database, and then was named Firefox. I quite li

Never really been a fan of the Firefox logo. Why not go for a revolution? Just use the Red Panda as inspiration for something very cutsey and recognisable. Bin the current logo. I like the idea of the ship's wheel in the navigator

Oh well, get ready for a world of inconsistencies! Php is a bit of a mongrel (mongrels are great though,) don't expect a beautifully designed language. The language has been bolted together piecemeal, with a bit of this and that.

You still have to know what you're looking for. The way I work with the Php website - is something like - I kind of remember a function name and try and search for that through a search engine. What I find difficult on the old site, a

Was looking for an email address for the author! And failed. Anyway just wanted to comment - that there's no publish date attached to the article - or one that is at least obvious. I have no idea when it was authored.
