Without wanting to be too much of a conservative, the idea of a whole new kind of interface even for desktop doesn't appeal much to me. I like this one, which has been going since the days of the Mac (correct me if i'm wrong), it's very familiar, simple, and intuitive.
Ah well, as long as they keep the Classic option
(, Tue 13 Sep 2011, 20:29, Reply)
You can do it classic way,
But the way people use PCs has changed, if you think of the context. Where as before it was a work tool, it's now a social tool. Where as before you need to be sat down at a desk to use them, now you would use them standing up on the tube.

Think of the proccess of getting some software onto your machine....
- Open disk draw, put in CD, close it
- Wait for the autoinstaller (that has to be created by the developer, and therefore, is different from program to program)
- Pick a location of where to install it
- Pick what elements you wish to install
- The installer has to write the files, registry keys, components.
- Determine what hardware you've got; if you can run it.

..... etc....

And that's before you've even used it for the first time. Now you can click on 'store' (or whatever they call it), click 'install', and it'll take care of purchasing/lisancing and installing. Like an iPhone really.

They've borrowed sooooo much from Apple, it's quite flattering.
(, Tue 13 Sep 2011, 20:38, Reply)
They're basicly redesigned the way people use PCs, pretty much everything is being rethought of....
... It's hard to explain, there are the usual way of using things, but the new way is very touch friendly, things like windows, buttons, menus, the whole lot, has been re-thought of. Plus it's more or less instant on (even on a low-grade ARM processor it went from switched off to being in your 'Tiles' (the equivilent to your desktop, I suppose) in 3 seconds.

There is too much to mention, but check this out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=p92QfWOw88I

Also, development ethos is amazing, a developer could create a service, such as "post to twitter", and that will be usable in every app. Or you could create a "use facebook photos" service and suddenly when browsing for photos to, say, share or upload, your facebook photos would be there.

The dev build is up in about 8 hours, I'm really looking forward ot it.
Plus you can build apps using webtechnologies such as HTML5/Javascript, which means that someone like me, who has never touched desktop development, can suddenly build very rich applications.

I absolutly love the idea of Tiles and am considering a WM7 mobile when my contract is up.

No way the Tories will get a landslide.
No way in a fucking three man boy on boy, precum as lipgloss, Jeremy Clarkson dungbrain, Michael Portillo's hilarious closet homosexuality, decade will the Tories get a landslide, in spite of their latest attempt at gerrymandering.

Why the fuck do you think they legislated for fixed five year parliaments?

You utter nobtit.

FreeFair, not you Bartles.
(, Tue 13 Sep 2011, 20:39, Reply)
Getting your attacks in before I've said anything?
Pointless and disputable for several reasons
1)Why attack Jeremy Clarkson's intellect? He has never endorsed any political party AFAIK?
2) Who cares what sexuality Laws, Mandelson or Portillo are? It makes no difference.
3) Since when has making an independent commission to draw up population tightened boundaries been Gerrymandering?
The current electoral system has long been gerrymandered towards Labour by about 8% or so, this latest redrawing just makes it harder for a repeat of the 2005 result to happen again in which a 3% lead becomes 26% of seats. On the lead the Tories had last year Labour would have gotten about 360 seats, not 306.
Did I mention the Tories also lose seats out of this?
4) OK, fixed term parliaments was probably to stop the LibDems leaving the coalition, but it applies to Labour and Conservatives and stops either party's PM from calling an election while polling is good. It is hardly party political.
5) I have no preconceptions about the result of the 2015 election, remember in 1981 the Tories were polling 3rd with the Alliance on 49%.
(, Tue 13 Sep 2011, 20:59, Reply)
I can see why you are so hot on the 1981 polls.
There was no general election in 1981.

Rightyo, in order:

1) It was a Richard Geefe quote. I am a big fan of Richard Geefe.

2) I am definitely not homophobic. I was putting together funny words and phrases for comedy reasons. Just for the fucking lulz, if you will.

3) It is gerrymandering, whichever way you look at it. The old vague rule of thumb of 70,000 people to a constituency may be on the way out, but there are solid arguments in favour of retaining geographically based ones.

4) Fixed term parliaments are ostensibly to stop 'tactical' elections being called, but are inevitably about maximising access to the gravy train. If the Tories end up as popular as the Lib Dems, and when they inevitably shit the economy up even more (does Gideon realise that the Chancellor is meant to act on the advice of the Treasury, rather than the opposite?) do you think they will do the honorobbo thing and fall on their swords for the good of the UK? Will they fuck. It's to maximise the salaries for an inevitably unpopular Government.

5) and yeah, the 1981 General Election result was a fucking whopper. That great that Thatcher had a war to boost her popularity a couple of years down the line.

Quite clearly gerrymandering.
If the Tories really wanted any sort of "fair" system, they would have stood behind decent electoral reform, but they didn't. Instead they refused to have an open referendum on different types of electoral reform and they out and out lied about the only option they let people vote on.

Was I talking about Labour? No I wasn't, so fuck off.
Just because Labour also didn't want a fairer system (though fuck knows why, it can only have benefited them) doesn't make this gerrymandering anything less than gerrymandering.

Of course the two biggest parties don't want to remove FPTP. Gravy train shizzle. It only benefits fringe parties (including the Lib Dems) and their supporters. If you want to see the BNP and the Communist Party with elected, legislative powers, then feel free to bring in pure PR.
(, Tue 13 Sep 2011, 21:21, Reply)
That's the kind of disengenous argument I really hate though
I don't like the fact that some people think that the BNP hold valid views. But the way to deal with those people is not to say "your views are invalid and you cannot be represented" because that simply means it's also perfectly logical to say to all Lib Dem voters that their views aren't valid either.

I know.
But there's a massive part of me (cocklols) that says that repugnant views should be excluded from the main decision making system. The liberal, intelligent part of me says that the best way to deal with these people is to engage with them publicly and expose them as idiots.

PR for all levels of Government is great in theory but pish in practice.
Having a list based MP removes accountability to the electorate, a need to engage with local issues and separates Legislature level representation from grass roots level activism, arguably weakening the democratic model.

(, Tue 13 Sep 2011, 21:44, Reply)
My point is that the party decides who is running in each constituency
But also any constituency with a big split between several candidates delivers even less representation since the majority of people will likely cast votes for someone other than the one who goes on to "represent" them.

Meh. I like PR on an intellectual level, but FPTP on a pragmatic level.

As long as there is party politics you'll always have to vote for someone who doesn't quite match your views, or stand yourself as an independent.

And that is just madness.

There are much better ways of having a constituency link
than FPTP. In fact pretty much every other way is better than FPTP.
(, Tue 13 Sep 2011, 22:17, Reply)
I am slightly torn on this
I can see the appeal of a PR system. If you have a country which has just over a third of people liking one party, just over a third liking another and just under a third liking a third, then you would think that the "fairest" way would be to make them work together in a way that satisfies most of them.

But the problem with a lack of a constituency link is one I also agree with which I why I liked the idea of every MP having to actually hold a majority of the votes or face some kind of run off a la AV or STV.

It just gets annoying after a while when I keep fucking it up.

I hope all this needlework won't stop you from making cheese and pineapple.

Cheese and pineapple will be a walk in the park Jeff.

Hang on.
A walk in (the) part. Are you making me cheese and pineapple or offering me a role as an extra in your new film?

Well as long as I get cheese and pineapple, I'll be happy.

I have to share.
I love linguistic/literary japes, like puns and so forth, especially where there is an NSFW connotation.

So every time I consider ToryBoy's former screenname, I get gaylols coursing through me. What word links Free and Fair? Trade. Trade as in young gay boyflesh.

Either he is indeed a sockpuppet with a well developed sense of humour or he's as naive about life as he is about politics.

Or I'm a massive nonce.

Which is it?

Or a horrifically gay teenager, going for the 'Portillo vote'.
Trade lolz.

He's a sockpuppet.
I'd eat my own crocheting if he isn't.

I am working late. Whilst waiting for stuff to finish, I've been looking at some of the ridiculous weapons
that are being launched over the next fifteen years or so. Giant, Hercules-mounted tank-busting laser cannons, railguns that fire projectiles fast enough to ignite the air around them, semi-autonomous battlefield robots that come equipped with mini-grenade launchers capable of firing 4000 rounds a minute and satellites that fire javelins of tungsten at you from orbit.

All real, all ready, or nearly ready, for deployment.

The next fifteen years is going to see an unprecedented number
of hippies/commies getting shafted by Good Ol' Uncle Sam.

I hope the javelin flinging tungsten tossing satellite comes with a commentary from Sid Waddel.

Satellite 1 locates the target and sends data to satellite 2
which drops a rod. By the time it gets to Earth, it's travelling at 7000 miles an hour and hits with the force of a meteor. All the fun of a nuke without the awkward radioactive fallout.

They've decided to call it Rods of God. Which just sounds like a nob gag to me.

It'll be comforting to know that while we're dying of TB and starvation, the world is being kept safe with such wonderful gadgets.

I think it's rather comforting to know that the US is taking climate change seriously
and making weapons with no nasty side effects. No explosives, no propellant, no radiation. The hippies that'll be getting shot by them will be grateful, I don't doubt.
