Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird sucks by Nell

Yes Tbirs is sucks. It ate some of my emails. It puts sent mail sometimes in sent and other times bugs me ‘could not put in sent’ and then (sometimes only) it is put in sent ANYWAYS. The folders with the many options (I like it – BUT) they are rather confusing! I never know where is what. And I keep finding emails I have double-deleted weeks ago! I am sorry to say that I may have to switch back to Outlook Express.

Tbird sorry to say is not to manage (so far). It eats the emails up sometimes and asks when sending – constantly if it is ok that it could not be put in sent folder. Later I sometimes see it has put it there anyways. Sometimes not.

Yes sucks.

Wow – 10 years… what an exciting time it was back then! My start into the working world could not have been better than with uboot, ucp, and all the wonderful colleagues there ;-)

Comment on “me” vs “you” in user-interface dialogs by m35

Don’t get too carried away applying your preferences to all users in general. Microsoft and Google (and other companies) do enormous amounts of research and testing to find what the majority of users will appreciate. Unfortunately, those who can write even a Java “Hello World” program don’t usually make a majority.

Now having said that, it is sorta funny Microsoft removed the “My” prefix from the user folders in Vista.

Yes! That was the other usage I was thinking of, but couldn’t remember. Nah I disagree; I think one is just used to “My Computer”, but imagine if it was “Your Computer”, surely that would be a lot better?

How about windows, creating folders like My Photos, My Music etc. I guess this kind of makes sense, if they were created by the user.

Comment on Code generation? Don’t generate to Java by m35

Ran into that limitation when trying to include a large constant array in my code. Such arrays declarations are apparently compiled into a method that fills the array one value at a time. Too many elements will create a too large method. Of course this case has the work-around of including the static data as a separate resource.

I assume your situation didn’t lend itself well to automatically breaking the config algorithm up into separate methods?
