Biculturalism

From Joel on Software, amazing views... and actually quite true... or at least some of them:

 

"Suppose you take a Unix programmer and a Windows programmer and give them each the task of creating the same end-user application. The Unix programmer will create a command-line or text-driven core and occasionally, as an afterthought, build a GUI which drives that core. This way the main operations of the application will be available to other programmers who can invoke the program on the command line and read the results as text. The Windows programmer will tend to start with a GUI, and occasionally, as an afterthought, add a scripting language which can automate the operation of the GUI interface. This is appropriate for a culture in which 99.999% of the users are not programmers in any way, shape, or form, and have no interest in being one."

Clever points of view...

I always find quite odd the way people think about the "digital era" and which paths will take us to the right ports... This iste have a few ideas of how the digital technology divides a nation: http://www.pbs.org/digitaldivide/index.html

Get Eclipse aDesigner With Enhanced GUI
Thursday, July 14 2005 @ 04:00 PM EST
Contributed by: gham

The aDesigner is a disability simulator that helps Web designers ensure that their pages are accessible and usable by the visually impaired. This is done by using Voice browsers and screen readers, reading aloud the text on Web pages. The new release of aDesigner is using Eclipse SWT 2.1.3 and has an enhanced GUI and contains several major bug fixes.

Slashdot Is Blogging Journalism

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday March 08, @05:00PM

from the well-yes-it-definitely-might-be-sometimes dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In the wake of the judge's refusal to extend journalist protections to Think Secret in its case against Apple, the Net is abuzz with commentaries coming to its defense. MacInTouch points to three of them, from CNET's Declan McCullagh, MP3 Newswire's Richard Menta and grassroots journalism pundit Dan Gillmor. All agree that Apple went too far with its case and question the court's decision that Web journalists don't count."

People can be such an idiot

Well, i have quite an experience yesterday, I had a nice conversation on a forum with some people discussing why Spam or just commercial information was not allow in it...

Unfortunately, people can be such an idiot from time to time... How someone can break rules for their own benefit without caring about the thinking of the rest of the people, or even the netiquette is amazing.

 

the deal is this, I want to sell something and I will publich it wherever I want... it is really annoying and at the same time, very stupid..

 

Whatever, I needed to release some sh*@!

 

 

Cheers!
