Steve Jobs parked in Handicapped spaces and kicked old ladies?

This thread, which started with nothing but a tenuous connection to reality has long since that connection. It's a thread without a purpose, like much of this board.  It's time I think to bring on the Spanish Lesbians™.

Las Amigas, Si!
As long as they have properly washed their asses.

I believe Tim Berners-Lee would disagree.
It was all about NeXT software not hardware:

OK...we already know the first browser was written for a NeXT box, AND now you've referenced the author of the browser.

And I still don't see how NeXT offered a vital advantage in creating a browser.

And this statement "At the time, the "X" close box was unique to NeXT" makes it sound like NeXT invented closing a Window which is silly.

[Iggy]

Which answers your question really...



Until you have had a chance to play with either OpenStep, GNUStep or Cocoa, I guess you'll never know.

The maturity of the aforementioned frameworks and the simplicity of the InterfaceBuilder coupled with the runtime flexibility of Objective-C make development of complex software (like a web browser) rather simple.

I guess I'm just too jaded having worked with fairly decent GUIs when Win 3.0 was just being introduced and, of course working with some talented programmers.
While I can see the advantages, I can can also see it just would have been more work on another platform.

Are we arguing about the value of OOP or the absolute necessity of using the NeXT platform to build a web browser?

Weird, bloodline, I wrote that before I saw your last post.
In any case, whether the web was inevitable or not, the initial development WAS done on a NeXT system and that does deserve credit.

This thread makes me want to cancel my lifetime membership.

Who cares what system was used so long ago.
If it had not been NeXT it would have been some thing else.

Thank you.

[Iggy]

Franko, please come back!  LOL!

I keep in touch with Frank,, he can be amusing.
Although his facination with squirrels borders on obcessive.

Keep in mind that a mod started this thread and it had a light hearted theme (if abusing a dead guy can be light hearted).

[Iggy]

With all due respect, this has to be the dumbest comment in the thread, and it has plenty of competition!

The point was that NeXT was the first proper object oriented operating system, designed that way from the ground up. As such building a complex application in NeXT was (and still is, in many respects) much easier and quicker than on competing systems.

If it wasn't for that ease and simplicity, the web may have taken much longer to be developed, and possibly not developed and certainly not in the open form we know today!

Lately, all you do is rabidly defend work that is a derivative of earlier research.
First Linux, and now this.

[Iggy]

Um... Everything is derivative of earlier research. That's called development of technology.

I will defend something if people are delutionally being unfair about it. My only irrational hatred is towards Java, I'm quite sure Java is a great language and VM now but I just don't like it

I actually agree with you on these points.
And while I don't particularly care about Java, Shockwave/Flash really pisses me off.
HTML5  just works so much better.

[Iggy]

Everything is better with bacon.

I love bacon!
And prunes are revolting.
Come to think of it, vegetarianism is rather gross.
Not that I don't like fruits and vegetables, but try and keep me from meat and I'll eat a vegetarian.

Don't worry. Google only mutilates this and makes it unintelligible.

You should come to Australia. You would have fun with our wildlife! English people are so funny when they come here - they are terrified of everything!

Correction Kesa, everyone except Australians is terrified of Australian wildlife.

[Iggy]

A meat addict! How pathetic!

The term is carnivore.
And while quite omnivorous, I'm not giving up that part of my diet as "unnecessary".
Every other hominid in our prehistoric past that adopted an all vegetarian diet died out (probably eaten by their carnivorous relatives).
Evolution has apparently favored the more aggressive.

Apparently our senses of humor don't mesh, as I have been prodding you as well.

Oh and I don't think I'll feel too pathetic eating the steak I've set aside for tomorrow's dinner, just satiated.

BTW - Do you wash YOUR ass?

[Iggy]

Hemorrhoids obviously.

Unfortunately, thanks to a local Gay owned donut shop called "The Fractured Prune" that is what comes to mind if "juicy prune" is mentioned.
But I don't want to piss off Thorham.
"Juicy peach" would have worked.
Man, I'd think we were way off target, until I remember that I've likened Jobs and a prune to the same thing
