What are you supposed to do on "Martin Luther King" day?

Can you imagine "programmer's day" being officially recognized in a western society such as the US or the UK? Over here, intellectual pursuits such as programming are effectively spat upon.

>Yes, things are way screwed up, but capitalism remains

I'd say "lingers" is a better choice of words, here.

But she knows all about the C Sharps!

Wait, they have booth babes at Linux conventions? Those poor girls...

>Like Command and Conquer but set in space

Yeah, that kind of game could never become popular, right? ;)

>I think moot is trolling the 4Chan community. They hate sites like this

Bare in mind Moot created 4chan before its, should we say, "unique" community developed. It was originally an weeaboo style anime site, of sorts.

Moot doesn't necessarily like or hate the same things as the /b/tards do.

Bringing features from a cut down mobile OS released in 2008 to a full blown desktop OS with 20+ years of UX development behind it was the best idea we've ever had!

Didn't the old iMacs have a "shake to shutdown" feature? Or was that just some weird configuration I had at the place I worked?

I can't recall the number of times I adjusted the position of the monitor only to find the computer shutting down...

>I've tried getting apps reviewed by review websites

Which review websites? And did you write to them asking nicely to be featured or did you give them a "back-hander?"

Can someone get this up and running somewhere? Also, what's with using "make" on Javascript projects?

Barclays? Not using Indian call centres? Has the whole world gone absolutely mad?

Do Google even have any offices in the UK? It seems some tech companies have just forsaken the UK altogether.

Mirror?

Really? The PC vs Mac war has been waging since at least the early 90s.

What does he say at the start?

>Mr. Jobs, you're a bridesmaid(?)....

>Here it comes...

Yes, brand awareness and commercial goodwill are important.

>GPL is draconian and limits freedom.

How? Isn't the basis of GPL simply "Use this code however you want providing you make the source code you derive from it freely availble, too"?

The difference is id's sources aren't shitty Java applets that noone wants to look through ;)

I kid, I kid...

All I see in this new UI is a bunch of interface designers trying to justify their jobs...

>What? Most users are familiar with CTRL+C, CTRL+V these days? LALALA NOT LISTENING!! ADD MORE RIBBONS!!

Zuckerberg didn't earn his respect through coding, neither did Bill, really, they were mostly opportunists. Besides, they're outliers in the grand perspective of things; your average programmer in the street is significantly less paid and respected than your average hedge-fund manager.

>We're people who build things.

True. But if I'm building something for someone else I'd damned well better be getting paid for it.

So what we really need is a proper professional society, or even unions.

>You can also use it whether you are on Mac, Windows, Linux or whatever future OS comes out.

I can use modern WYSIWYG text editor on any unfamiliar platform anyway, my aptitude with computer GUIs is sufficient enough for that. Notepad++, Textwrangler, MS Word, whatever... they're not exactly difficult to pick up.

Except disregarding over three decades of human-computer-interaction progress is not the "proper" way of editing text.

GIMP?

If you make exceptions indiscriminately it will lead you to anything.

The default first entry, "Human", doesn't even reach "philosophy" before the maximum of 50 steps is reached. Kinda blows a hole in the theory...

On Conversvapedia everything eventually leads to "Ronald Reagan".

Nope. You can get stuck in loops pretty easily.
