You shouldn't ask users how the UI should be. You have to listen to there needs. Then you have to translate this 'democratic' information into a UI design. When a user wants a drop-down for every department in the hospital you could transla

Why not? I think it is and should be. When 90% of your end users are old people who rarely use a computer you have to ask them about there needs. You will collect the 'votes' and may discover you have to drop some functionalities. And maybe

It is very likely that Steam is releasing it's client for MacOs sooner or later. Some even say it will be available for Linux. I think this shows the market is changing. The OS will be unimportant.

There is a lot of space between "don't agree" and "rubbish". I don't complain about this system. But I can imagine sometimes it would be nice to have an explanation.

I'm sorry, I ment 'comments'. But my question is about the 'learn to live with this'. Wouldn't it be good to learn why you were downvoted?

Last week I checked there site and read: "Share music with your Facebook friends". And that's what I thought it would be so I didn't download it. But today I read a Wiki page about it and I understand it's much more than 'Facebook only'. It

The first thing I noticed: it looks like a HP laptop. So I agree with you.

"since space and time are interconnected" Last week I saw a Ted Talk by Prof. dr. Wubbo J. Ockels telling me that space and time are not connected. http://www.tedxamsterdam.com/2009/video-wubbo-ockels-on-time... The more I read and hear a

ProFontWindows is also not in the list. But it's great for a small font-size but keeping the code readable.

Why are people so seriously angry about stuff like this? If you don't like Facebook, just quit and get a drink with your friends.

Well I tried today, but it was a little harder than I expected. And this GUI method is also very usefull for most people. But maybe the news value is that there are a lot of people searching for methods to place the buttons right again...

Just downloaded the amd64 version (from The Netherlands). It's very strange, it looks like this is not a bootable CD. It's more like an autorun CD with Wubi. Anyone else got the same problem? (downloading it as torrent right now)

All these facts also apply for desktop/latop PC's. Remove Flash and notice you wont miss it. More and more websites are using HTML there day's. Removing Flash also improves browser speed and stability (just as removing Adobe Reader does). I

This might be the case: - HTC agrees to sell MS phones only - They also agree to pay MS when they start selling other brands - They start selling other brands - They pay MS as agreed

True, I think it has something to do with the burst mode used in most sensors. The sensor will transmit the picture, but the iPhone is not ready to process all of it. So the next burst is processed later but is used for the same image.

Why was this down-voted? It would be interesting to know. It would show more of iPad's value.

Nice lib and examples! Some time ago I also started with a 3d engine (path tracer). If anyone like to have some code: http://thuijzer.nl/jsrender/ (I never took time to optimize/bugfix the code).

Or some navigator (map) like there is in Netbeans. And also question why you have 1000+ lines of CSS. news.ycombinator uses only 31 selectors. And it looks.. well maybe not great , but very readable and very useable (I like it a lot). And I

Well I think it's all about touch-screens. Decades ago they sucked. Only recently they work great. So Apple jumped in at the right time. As said (ZeroGravitas), people want a desktop in another form: laptops, smart-phones, handhelds, gaming

Could be handy when they charge you for an extra keycard. But we already did this 10 years ago with a cheap card reader/writer. So the news part is a bit missing here...
