More importantly, the bus stop attracts seniors who are trying to leave the facility, which is dangerous because they aren't able to do so safely, and are likely to end up lost and dying of exposure or exhaustion. A fake cafe or bookshop wo

The fake bus stop could be on a private road or driveway that the actual buses never travel on. Hell, the fake bus stop could probably be on a gravel path that doesn't actually connect with public roads, as long as the ends of the path are

The ability to buy anything under $100 using your iPhone and the Apple Store app, without talking to anyone, should help with that a little, as people learn about it. Especially during the holidays. I think you can also use the app to pre-o

Adobe licensed Photoshop from the creators. Prior to that Adobe's business was based on PostScript, and they developed Illustrator to take advantage of PostScript's capabilities. Then they licensed Photoshop.

"Those guys are the typical case of the "free" brainwashing. They see taking money as something filthy and immoral to do." I don't think that's quite the case. They went free because they saw a lot of profitable apps using the free + In-App

I don't think anyone would care about this, if Samsung didn't seem to have a compulsion to copy so many Apple designs. Copying Xcode's UI is not, in itself, a huge issue. But along with all the rest, it just looks rather shabby.

Is there another IDE other than Xcode whose widget palette shows an icon and a lengthy textual description like that?

by jonhendry 14y ago
"is it possible that you'd be able to point out such similarities between any two IDEs" Most IDEs (Delphi, Eclipse, VS, VB) look a lot like VS & VB. That seems to be the template most often. Xcode, having roots at NeXT, has always been

If you think Visual Basic looks anything like Xcode, you're either detail-blind, or you've never used Xcode.

The amount of detail-blindness I'm seeing here is astounding. No wonder so many UIs are terrible.

Xcode's panels aren't movable, like Visual Studio's are. There are panels that appear in certain places, and can be hidden, and their sizes adjusted. But it's not like VS where you can grab something tear it off, stick it on the other side

Why is it so hard to believe that they would be wearing flip-flops? Under-equipped fighters is nothing new. Here's a photo of a barefoot Khmer Rouge fighter with an RPG, at the fall of Phnom Penh. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mYN-WF164gg/T40t

If the deadline was "by August 9th", it's ambiguous whether that means "by 11:59 PM August 8th", or "by 11:59 PM August 9th". If it's "11:59 PM August 8th", then it would probably be reasonable to hold it open until around noon on the 9th,

The people in Japan could be US expats. More importantly, the site is utterly impotent. It's not like voting or campaign donations by foreign nationals, so I'm not sure why it matters. If some Japanese wingnuts want to embarrass themselves

I'm pretty sure they have a duplicate hardware setup for testing beforehand and debugging problems, which ought to help avoid such problems, and help fixing problems that arise.

They had a financial interest in the deaths of their employees. Bob in Housewares in Dubuque dies in a car accident, and his employer profits. That just creates all kinds of messed up incentives. It's just plain f'ed up. And they weren't ju

They've actually posted a few anaglyph 3D images. Perhaps they manipulate the images to approximate the same focal length (cropping, maybe). Ah - they used the hazard avoidance cameras: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16002

Um, the whole point of LendInk is to not send business their way. Business would imply purchasing. LendInk is a way to avoid purchasing.
