St. John's College FTW!

There's no hope anymore of a solution.

Needs a little red nub in the center of the keyboard.

The removal of a hallmark symbol of tradition is anathema.

Blackberry Key2 is still a normal phone with excellent normal phone qualities, including a normal physical keyboard.

This trend is sickening. Windows 10 has a nearly 1 second delay when mousing over the Start Menu scroll bar. Why wouldn't I want a scroll bar there? It is the primary thing I seek when I click Start.

In the Gmail Admin interface for users, the scrollbar vanishes unless I have my browser nearly maximized. Do the designers live in a world where their browser is always nearly full screen?

You'd think huge companies would notice and care about these things.

Keyboard that represents "brand values" and "angling the device to enterprise customers" sounds like OnwardMobility gets what it is all about.

I think this site should be text only.

I've got nothing but love for my Verizon KEY2 LE. Finally, someone got a keyboard phone right.

Does Debian benefit from this work?

Which meter did you buy?

Looks like a company finally listened.

Everything you write, I cheer.

Massive customization, and then you are bound by this broke ass Object model in which to get it all done, between Apex and VisualForce nauseating crap.

I don't want to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for the right to do write database driven web pages.

Na. Roll your own and munge text how ever you want. Don't cede control to bad GUI/web tools.

If you are good, you aren't "scripting", you are making a rad MVC system.

Salesforce puts all the MVC together in nasty, nasty ways.

It's really a whole working methodology that includes an Object model, which one would call backend.

Did I mention its a nasty fugly POS?

Exactly. Instead of ETL, start writing your own Perl and various logical, reusable components. Roll your own ETL, however you want it, in a terminal. So what, you have to learn vim, big deal! Mouse driven interfaces are a huge part of the dysfunction.

The tools and stack of Salesforce make building your own version extremely appealing.

Ungodly expensive.

PostgreSQL on the other hand - so good, so free!

The backend stack of both make development like swimming in glue. The same managers you are referring to cut us over to these tools and we subsequently experienced a massive decline in our business.

Why "unix-like" and not just Linux underneath, with the (really) cool 90s productivity software on top?

Does Danone still run Odoo?

The author's point certainly has to do with no more RSS networking.

Too bright! Just not the old school matte thing somehow.

X40s are great for journaling. :)

Welcome to my world.

There's no such thing as a Thinkpad without a Trackpoint and proper buttons.

I do most of my work in a shell. But I love YouTube also! :)

Still rocking T60p, with the NMB keyboard. If you haven't touched an NMB Thinkpad keyboard, you haven't actually used a proper Thinkpad.

One thing I found absolutely necessary to make my machine usable in 2019 was upgrading all the specs to the max.

"In an artificial world, only extremists live naturally."

I just downloaded El Capitan today from the App Store from the same machine I installed from.
