First - So "no horizontal lines" is now a complaint? Second - This is a limitation of the Operating System, where closing the root window closes the application. Third - No, it just gives you shortcuts to the most important menu. What else

Well - obviously, if there was anything even close to resembling legally binding contracts, we wouldn't be having this court case. Both sides deal only with "we were under the impression of X" and back up their claims with industry number

I don't even get how people can claim that there is a big difference anyhow - If we were brutally honest here, Photoshop is really only multi-windowed, too - with the main window maximized in the background and carrying the main menu.

I would suppose it's a combination of corporate politics being very different, more goal driven than in government agencies and the simple fact that SpaceX simply has a lot more giants on whose shoulders they can stand. Why they are that

Really? That sounds rather obvious and a bit too cheeky to me. To twist it the other way around: If cost run over in a government project, who else could you hold responsible? Sure, it's not a great thing that this happens, but it seems l

A ton of assumptions peppered with a pretty glaring lack of substance. So "Microsoft is making radical changes"? You mean different from the last "too little, too late" campaigns they had? Reads like an ad for investors. Like something that

Doesn't that just translate into "I believe in Open Source when it's stuff that I can use for free and as long as it doesn't take away from my revenue"? What kind of belief is that? Open Source Business models have been under debate and dev

It is possible for a piece of software to rely on the output of another piece of software without being derivative. Hell, that's basically how any interface in the world works. As the wikipedia article on the GPL notes, the problem is not s

I have thought about the On/Off-Topic button as well for some time now. I think it's a good concept to try out, mainly because it is not judgmental - Sometimes I like following an Off-Topic discussion and I've had a couple of good ones on H

It may be a solution, superficially, but only to the problem that you have outlined. If you make it your goal to eliminate "all paper thrown on the floor", why not go for 100% and get rid of the paper towels in the first place? The questi
