i can get better unbiased advice out of online forums. even after going to freebsd i continued to use ubuntuforums, because the advice tended to be great. the arch wiki also rules.
i would rather use a forum or irc then call some dipshit on the "vendor" support line. all i want from a hardware vendor is a sane warranty. otherwise they can keep their worthless phone monkeys
The reason is that Apple guarantee that OS X, will work with their hardware. If it doesn't, they better fix it quick, or risk the wrath of everyone.
With Linux, you might have some unsupported hardware, and that's that. Your choice is either to write drivers yourself, wait until someone else does, or buy different hardware.
yuck! classic "loved by designers, hated by users" stuff
all of these concepts put TOO MUCH information on the page
its at the level of NOISE
i want less information - i want the information when i need it, not in an unending stream. my best "default" ui - a blank screen. i haven't signalled that i need infomation yet, so don't give me any. when i request data, give me only what i ask for
classic abuse of these examples - weather data. who the hell actually runs these weather widgets that show you the weather on your desktop??? wow, its 78 and sunny, just like it was two minutes ago! this is the type of data people ACTUALLY check once a day or less. putting it in my face is just giving me more pointless noise to distract me
I became worried when the credits for the first one went as long as they did... and then I wasn't disappointed at how awful the demo was. I couldn't watch more than a couple of minutes of it.
are the lot of you fourteen years old? or just that old mentally? you're sitting around talking about how you will divy up your little hypothetical companies...did you read richie rich comics as a child?
1. get an idea someone gives a shit about. 2. find someone to put money behind your idea. 3. then you can get your rocks off playing god with the stock options. without 1,2...talking about 3 is just mental masturbation
so sad. his whole life has boiled down to fetishisizing work
how about this for a plan - get married and have kids. you'll have a regular sex partner, and when you are sixty, you won't sit around wondering why you are alone
and if you save some money, take a winter off and be a ski bum. one year cruising between whistler, aspen, half the crazy ass monster resorts in the alps...beats the hell out of pissing into the wind in the website game
one big mistake they made was trying to reply to every troll on TC. anyone with a brain knows you go in there, make ONE post answering the obvious intelligent questions (that you can answer without looking like an ass), and bug out. their "exec" reponded to every post on the board and made himself look like a halfwit chasing trolls. basically he got owned by TC posters
