Hamei, you're acting like an asshole. Your choice, but it's not engendering a lot of interest in hearing what you have to say I think.

Well, see, here's the deal with that .... I'm not in kindergarten any longer, don't have to worry about getting that check mark under "plays well with others." I don't really give a rat's ass what Americans think. They have abrogated any rights to have an intelligent opinion by the way they have behaved over the past thirty years. Have you looked at the US recently ? Bluntly, it's a piece of shit. And it's not me who did that. 'Project for a New American Century" - are you people insane ?

Fact. Denial is more than a river in Egypt. Do you have eyes ? look around you. The US is a piece of garbage. There's nothing there there. it's gone. You gave it all to "business interests" who made "business decisions" and eviscerated the country. You ain't got shit. Finance, Real Estate, Insurance, Sewage. You got nothin' ....

Listen to R10 ... "computing is moving at such an exponential pace that you can't get attached to any particular flavor" (umm, so "brand" is worthless ?) ... then when questioned what he does ? PowerPoint, text editing, and spreadsheets. Oh whooop-dee-doo. It's all hot air and marketing horseshit.

You guys can stand around and oooh ! and aaaah ! over the Emperor's beautiful royal blue coat with the blazing gold epaulettes and the shimmering tan Italian slacks and the hand-tooled alligator boots all you like. But what's parading down the road is a scrawny limp-dick naked old fart with a pot belly and saggy ass. The consumer computer industry in the US has done nothing for the past ten years. In fact, I'll go a step farther - with the exception of the scientific community telling you that humanity is hell-bent for destruction and you guys grabbing the throttle with both hands to twist it wider, the entire US has done exactly nothing of value ever since the finance -slash - business people took over. For the past thirty years the US has been nothing but leeches. Useless, greedy, ignorant stupid leeches.

I don't really care if people like it or not. You can ooh and aaah the Emperor all you want. I ain't gonna. I'm just speaking truth.

When it comes to text editing, by which I'm pretty sure R-ten-K mean "programming," in my case I find my productivity drops to zero if I don't have a display that can do at least two 80-column files side-by-side at at least size 10 font, which means I need at least 1900 pixels horizontally, and thus I've never been been able to be productive in my day to day work using any laptop screen I've ever been exposed to...

If we got you a screen that was 2860 pixels wide, would you create 50% more good code per day ? :P

You better stop posting this stuff in public or you'll never get a white collar position in Management. Any real manager does not believe in Reality, even if it reaches up out of the grunter and takes a big chomp out of his ass. They can always come up with some horseshit loser excuse to explain away their stupidity, even when it flies in the face of the facts. Heck, especially when their story flies in the face of all fact.

Look to Mr Greenspan for your inspiration, that guy is a true master of Business Logic. Got a degree, too. He must be smart !

A little practice in gobbledygook and perhaps you, too, could qualify for the Harvard Business School. You could be a Visionary ! An Innovator ! A fucking useless fool with a big salary ! Wouldn't that be cool ?

Here's a little story to entertain you while the water heats up ... an acquaintance just sent me a print to look at. I think it was kind of a test, actually. Really good part, says right on it "PRO E CAD/CAM GENERATED" so the designer guy has to be one of the smart ones doing all the high end profitable work in the US

Too bad the material is wrong, the heat treat is wrong, the process is wrong, the part is maybe not junk but it sure as hell ain't optimum.

GE part. Some control piece for a jet aircraft.

It is statistically unlikely that that is the only part on the plane designed by a kid with no real knowledge.

Think about that next time you take a trip. Does it control the flaps ? Spool up the engine ? Is it going to quit in the middle of the next take-off ?

It can meet the Unix specification until the damned cows come home but Unix is a trademark. Trademark ... business guys should know that word, right ? Intellectual Property, all that ? There are what, four or five operating systems that are qualified to call themselves Unix. And only those four or five can legally and ethically call themselves Unix.

A Mach kernel transformed through NeXTStep into some cartoon parody of an operating system does not qualify as Unix, no matter how much noise the fanboyz make. An Arntz Cobra is still an Arntz, not a Cobra, no matter what engine is under the hood or how accurate the bodywork looks.

josehill wrote: ... I'm not too keen on some of Apple's feature decisions and support policies but I can still do everything that I really want to do with it, especially on the command line.

But NeXTStep came with development tools that made it simple for B-L to create the www. One can do anything they desire on any operating system they choose, but is it likely to happen ? On NEXTStep, it was. The system was designed for that. OS X, not so much. Apple wants consumers, purchasers, willing sheep with cash-filled pockets to shear. NeXT was oriented to scientists, researchers, technical users. Not the same. Not even similar. We live in the age of the Java interface.

The less elegant method would be to manually change .Sgiresources or .Xresources. You'll probably want to double check my googled up syntax in the man pages before you pull the trigger, but something like:

Check ? you gots to be kidding. I'm a trigger-puller. Sadly, no luck with that so far but excellent suggestion ! I was searching in 4Dwm, should searh under Motif or maybe mwm ... back to Boogle, thanks !

btw, while rooting around I found an interesting tidbit - the adjustments for frame width and cursor-grab frame width are different. So (I think) you can set the frame width skinny for appearances (if you like that) but the frame grabber w i d e for convenience. Pretty nice !

Fireflop, change this and that changes. Change that and this changes. How to change what you really want ? The Fine Mozilla Organization has a help-you page ! Full of examples of help-you things you can do ! But not one single item that's actually useful !

Still haven't got a way to widen scroll bars yet ... but 33 hz is plenty fast on refresh. You can't tell it isn't 60 or 72 or 85. (But I don't play games. Movies are fine.)

On to a more pleasant subject ... it's pretty easy to change icon sizes and fonts in the 4Dwm file manager. Unfortunately, if you had "save continuously" checked all the sizes you don't want got saved and apparently unchecking it doesn't get rid of the old data so now things are all different sizes. Is there a system-wide way to clear out all those saved attributes ?

At the risk you might not know this; I'll point out that when you make changes to an X resources file you have to do `xrdb -merge filename` for them to take effect. That, or log out and back in again. Also, for editres to work editres support has to be compiled into the application, and not many vendors do that...


I noticed that you can actually just do a "xrdb <filename>" and that seems to work too. Maybe that's the default on Irix ?

Most of 4Dwm has been pretty straightforward ... still haven't found a scrollbar adjustment but other than that, not so bad. Did learn how to set colors in an application to follow the desktop scheme, which was kind of cool.

It's that useless unpredictable piece of garbage Fireflop that is the biggest problem. userChrome.css doesn't work for crap. No surprise there .... I just wish the next time somone decides to go postal that they would do it in the Mozilla bunker.
