Posted by LilianaIn times of dot-matrix and daisy-wheel printers, this was indeed very logical. Then there was the CR/LF or LF/CR debate, but it worked in both ways for these printers. Edit: makes me remember how I used this simple batch file to make printers go crazy and annoy sysadmins.
For the ones not familiar with DOS, ^L meets Ctrl+L, which is ASCII code 12, known as form feed or paper feed. Also, why is the code tag not using a monospace font? ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |

Posted by AilureWhy the strong tendency towards open-source?Posted by KiyoshiWhen Opera and Internet Explores goes open source, I try em. Otherwise I stay the hell away, I always bias towards Open source unless the advantage of the propriety version is huge. Which I found to be overblown by people sometimes too.Posted by GywallI encourage everyone to try all of the big 5, they are all different ways to experience the web. In my experience, free closed-source software often has much higher quality code, better stability, and a more consistent interface. Piriform's software is a great example of this. The "many eyeballs make bug-free code"-effect of open-source has not only been debunked, but it often leads to an inconsistent software design model because you don't get a community of thousands of developers to agree on anything. Look at how many different looks Firefox extensions have, for example. Open-source software is always made with IT enthousiasts in mind, that's why many people still use Windows, you need a solid company design model to keep software user-friendly. Opera has clearly stated that their browser will never be open-source, and it basically comes down to the reasons above. They don't want to drown it in a pool of tweakers and geeks. ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |

Posted by LilianaMany closed-source software also is, and trying to be native is hard but often done. Opera and Piriform are again great examples. Posted by AilureOpen-source software mostly has more security holes though. It should be the other way around when anyone can read the code, you would think.Posted by KiyoshiOpen or closed source is irrelevant to this. I seen horrible examples of UI and stability in both closed and open software. Main advantage is that it's harder to include a backdoor in open source software (it's pretty much isn't a secret that Skype have backdoors). Posted by AilureOpera allows HTML/CSS/JS extensions only. Firefox's XUL allows deep access to the code, that's why these extensions can be very unsafe, and XUL is exploited a lot.Posted by KiyoshiOpera have extenstions as well. I doubt that they would all be consistent as well. Closed source software is not consistent itself to start with, there is tonnes of examples within Microsoft software of this, famously with how the open dialog can vary between different MS software for no reason at all. The open dialog is different from one app to another, but that is mostly the app's fault. At least we don't se radically different designs as the freedom is limited to just a few types. Windows and Mac OS X both have a solid design philosophy, avoiding the fragmentation hell Linux and Android have. Posted by AilureI have tried many distros over the last 10 years. So many different packages, desktops, configuration files etc. seems like they have learned almost nothing in the past 10 years. Simply because there is no solid design philosophy. The installer being easy like the one of Windows 7 is a first step, but the desktop environments nowadays just want to look flashy and don't care about stability or consistency. Even with well-developed ones like KDE or Gnome you still need the command line and the package manager a lot.Posted by KiyoshiYou certainly hadn't used a userfriendly Linux distro recently, as some of them they are made with some rather strict design models, and are a bit userfriendlier to install than Windows! Sometimes taking a direction I don't agree with that seems to produce actually less productive interface (Ubuntu) but then again it's not like closed source is innocent (Ribbon and Metro). Yes, some software are made for enthusiasts and clearly aren't catering to the average user. But there is also plenty of userfriendly stuff. The 3 distros I have found to be somewhat close to user-friendly are OpenSUSE (at least it welcomes you nicely), Ultimate Edition (great out of the box but a bit too flashy and crashy) and Knoppix (many useful things preinstalled but confusing at times). Don't even start about the overrated Ubuntu. Of course this won't matter to an enthousiast as you, but if Linux is ever going to want a serious market share, Torvalds will have to do things like making some tight design constraints, and make much more things work with just a mouse. In other words, make Linux consistent and solid. But if he does that the fanboys will complain because they lost their freedom... If freedom is worth more to you than anything else, go for it of course. But I prefer stability, consistency and quality code. Don't just count some flaws of MS, look at companies like Opera and Piriform (CCleaner, Defraggler, Speccy) as well. The Office 2007/2010 Ribbons? I did not like them at first, but it visualizes things a lot more, which is actually better. It just takes some time to get used to if you have used the classic Office since 1992 like I did, but when you have never worked with Office before it's much less confusing than tons of toolbars and menu options. Metro? It works pretty well on tablets, on the desktop not so much (although since the beta you can do everything wiith the mouse). I will stay at Windows 7 for now, and I expect Windows 9 to be pretty awesome, as there is a clear suck-rule-suck-rule pattern in Windows releases (8, 7, Vista, XP, Me, 98, 95, 3.1). Edit: only 152 coins for such a long post? ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |

Posted by AilureI'm getting tired of linking Firefox MythsPosted by KiyoshiCitation needed. It's also possible that more security exploits are reported with open source software than closed source ones. How would you know? You do know that Windows and a lot of other software does base itself on open source, BSD is open source as well. They didn't replace the BSD TCP/IP stack in Windows until Windows Vista.
But if holes are easy to find, the developers are not stupid either, they see them too. Secunia advisories are mostly found through extensive testing and trial-and-error, not by looking at the code. BSD? Isn't that were the closed-source high-priced Mac OS X is largely based on? 
I know @Ailure, I am not saying open source software is always a bad thing. I use some of them too, but most really feel like hobbyist projects, tailor-made to the developer's way of doing things, not to clear design constraints. In your defense, let's not forget these constraints vary from company to company as well. This is why Microsoft is forcing their constraints, albeit mostly consisting of open standards like HTML5 and XAML, with Metro. I am open to the idea of open-source though, but it's like communism. It's free and accessible, but it's in people's nature to push their own ideas. There is not much integrity and consistency unless it's lead by a higher power. This chat I had with @Nina might be an interesting read.

Posted by GreyMariaYet in another thread you complain about software using too much memory. Posted by NicoleFirefox 4.0's interface was an almost identical copy of Opera 10.50, actually. ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |

Posted by AilureIt was made to counter the fanboys. Even Firefox users get tired of fanboy arguments some times. And if you actually take the time to read it, you will see most of what is there is still relevant, just not the parts that specifically mention the outdated Firefox versions. And then still, many switched around 2005 by believing the myths, and still cling to it like a religion nowadays. Before the thread derails even more; as I stated before, I am trying to encourage people to try different browsers, and post their findings here. Why I link to Firefox Myths, is that I am tired of countering the 7-year old fanboy arguments every time ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |

Posted by LilianaI used to have a 160 MB hard drive in the DOS days, and I used DoubleSpace to make it 240 MB. The hard drive was already nearly full when I got the PC for Christmas in 1994. I deleted Packard Bell Navigator and a demo AVI, and that saved me 60 MB! But the most fun was when I did a 13-hour defrag, which increased my DoubleSpace ratio to 1.6 in the end, giving me an extra 16 MB!!!!! :wow: ____________________ I don't give a flying feather |
