A desktop PC is also known as a WORKSTATION, i.e. a place for serious and extensive COMPUTING work, be it document production, image processing, application programming, scientific simulations, etc., etc. The average Joe/Jane just wants instant, no-brainer email and Facebook. A thumb-drive computer could accommodate those tasks and that thumb-drive will contain MS Windows. Microsoft Windows is for brain-dead losers, and they can have it.

Don't you understand that digital file names are not supposed to contain spaces and punctuation characters? Even though they technically CAN contain them, they really SHOULD NOT contain them.

What text file do you mean? Old .ini files? If so, sure, a general user should never have to see those. > Yes, Microsoft is for total idiots, and they can have it. It does not make things as easy and powerful as OS X, at least in many areas, but it does make things much better for most users than what they had with, say, DOS! > But there are repercussions for us all. > > What I hate the most is the names these Microsoft users give to > the various files they may post.

Not only do I use such characters, I also use unicode characters in my file names. OS X handles it fine. Now I do have to be careful if I am uploading those to a website or even sharing them with Windows users, but for my own use I use those as I wish. > Fortunately, for Linux, there are programs which can process these > asinine file names and remove the idiotic junk: > > Sanity: http://www.splitbrain.org/projects/sanity OS X comes with software to make file names Windows and web friendly. > I have to use such programs ALL THE GODDAMNED TIME to restore > a decent form to the file names created by Microsoft idiots. > > Yes, Microsoft Windows is for brain-dead assholes, and they can > have it. Would love to see what type tasks you think your system handles well. Here are some that were discussed in COLA a while back... the Linux users did not fare very well. * From a single online recipe (or art project, lesson plan, whatever) save it and email a PDF version where you add notes to it. Now I know this can be done on Linux; save, open, edit, email. Just curious to see how you people would generally do it and how streamlined the workflow would be. A couple ways I might: <https://youtu.be/NPM_WldEBs0>. * Make a video, as Owl and I have been, but with cursor replacement / resizing (post production), window highlighting, zooming, arbitrary area highlighting. For me these were done just to show something else: <https://youtu.be/aSNpnYpmKag>. I have many other options but picked these because they fit the real-world example I did shortly before coming up with the "challenge". * Getting a WayBackArchive page and getting images of all links, the HTML validation and CSS validation from W3.org, and a active link to the archive page, as I did here (does not have to look the exact same, of course): <http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/sandman/sandman-archive.pdf>. -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? <http://youtu.be/_dMbXGLW9PI> * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

I am not a fan of the Registry, but users should not have to fiddle with TXT or XML configuration files. Programs should be written better than that! >> What makes you think a user has the obligation to back YOUR wishes? > > The user has an obligation to learn about computers and digital principles. Knowing you should learn about computers is a good first step. I commend you. > Then maybe we could have an OS that wasn't geared for brain-dead morons. You have yet to say how it is. Or OS X. If you watch my videos, though, you can see where Linux is, if not for, often designed by "brain-dead morons". :) In all seriousness: use what you like and there are times when Linux is a great solution for the desktop. But that is also true of Windows and OS X. Heck, Windows is a great choice for most users - as is OS X, though it is priced in a way where it will never have the majority. Desktop Linux, even being no-cost, has yet to attract any but a tiny sliver of users. I would love to see the open source ecosystem improve to the point where it can compete well and earn a larger percentage of user. That would be great and I have submitted many bug reports to help it move forward. >> Not only do I use such characters, I also use unicode characters in my file >> names.

In the digital world, such behavior is extremely bad form. You do not have to use such names if you do not want... but nothing wrong with others doing so. >> Would love to see what type tasks you think your system handles well.

Fair enough. Would love to see what you come up with over time. > But I do not doubt that if were actually faced with finding a solution, I > could think a while, do some testing, and come up with extremely efficient > methods. Would love to see them. But keep in mind part of a great system is it allows you to do such things with little planning. The print solutions I show, for example, take almost no planning to do the basics with. I have added a script so I can change the name of the file I email (would be great if I could just select it and rename it in Mail, but I cannot). One thing I really appreciate about OS X is how it is designed to streamline workflows and give you many choices. > I have done so in the past for many complex problems. I am sure... but a good system should not just let you find excellent solutions to complex problems but also more mundane ones, such as the email an edited lesson plan task I talk about. I do such things often - heck, did so today with a home school group I am in. Someone had posted a link to their own blog with lessons and I sent them a copy with notes on ideas to improve it. They emailed me back and thanked me - and made some changes to their blog. -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? <http://youtu.be/_dMbXGLW9PI> * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

Since the beginning of the digital age it's always been called a "directory." But Microsoft has poisoned the digital ecosystem by unilaterally flaunting tradition and introducing this dummied-down terminology. (Yet, like stupid hypocrites, they retained the "dir" shell command.) Just call the directory "Web_Receipts." Believe me, the difference is immense.

Believe me, the difference is > immense. Windows does not have such a folder by default that I know of. OS X does. And here is a discussion on how to use this folder with PDF Services: <http://lowendmac.com/2014/os-x-tip-save-pdf-to-web-receipts-folder/> They also discuss a BIG bug, in my view, with what Apple provides - it can overwrite a file with the same name. OUCH! Bad form Apple. I have updated mine so this cannot happen with a fairly simple script. Did the same with a few other folders I use often. -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? <http://youtu.be/_dMbXGLW9PI> * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

"Folder" is a superset of "directory". Directories are filesystem locations, of which a folder can be a graphical representation of, but a folder can also be virtual and not related to a filesystem location (think "smart folders" that are really filesystem queries). -- Sandman

Fabian_Russell,
To change settings (in the Resigistry)
I edit this _Plain_Text_ file:
Jeff-Relf.Me/Win_8_.REG.TXT
Registry items can be exported/imported
to/from a text file.
_______
Copy this line to your browser:
Jeff-Relf.Me/My Biological Son, Jeff Thompson .JPG
It works, and it's easy to read.
But, on Usenet, using underscores (instead of spaces)
makes it easier for people to view/click it; to wit:
Jeff-Relf.Me/_The_Heisenberg_Uncertainty_Principle_.PNG
_____
Plenty of non-idiots use Windows, by the way.
Here's some code I wrote for Windows 8:
Jeff-Relf.Me/X.ZIP
"X.HTM" is the "help/settings file".
"Nyms.HTM" is the Usenet Scorefile.
The "xGames" folder has .PNG files for the Monopoly game.
"X.CPP" is the source code, Visual C++, x64, Visual Studio 2015.
"OCR A", "MS Mincho", "DejaVu LGC Sans Mono" and "nSimSun"
are the (required) "Unicode Console" fonts.
If they don't exist, warnings are issued using "Consolas" ( Vista ).
Note: This code needs Windows 8 or later.
3840 x 2160 ScreenShots: "Jeff-Relf.Me/X.PNG", "Jeff-Relf.Me/Chess.PNG".
"DirectX.CPP" is a small (one-file) example of how to:
_ Make all Fonts/Glyphs the same width (double_width is allowed).
_ Rescale Graphics/Glyphs when a window changes size.
_ Use DirectX 11.1, Direct2D 1.1, DirectWrite, and Direct3D.
_ Draw to a back buffer at a high fps (frames per second).
_ Draw properly scaled/smoothed .JPG files, hardware accelerated.
_ Draw to/from/within bitmaps.
_ Discover if a font exists or not ("FindFamilyName()").
_ Discover if a glyph exists in a font ("HasCharacter()").
_ Discover the width/height of a glyph ("GlyphWH()").
Your startup folder should have, e.g., "Pics/LowRes.JPG" ( 100px wide/tall )
and "Pics/Chess.PNG" ( a 3840 x 2160 screenshot, Jeff-Relf.Me/Chess.PNG ).
All coordinates are in hard⋅pixels (D2D1_UNIT_MODE_PIXELS).
ScreenShot: Jeff-Relf.Me/Glyph.PNG

They must either be quoted or escaped. The point is that in a FUNDAMENTAL DIGITAL SENSE, a file name is meaningful only w/o spaces.

First, not true, as even you note below. And it really does not matter one whit given how must users have no need or desire to know what a "command line parser" is. > They must either be quoted or escaped. > > The point is that in a FUNDAMENTAL DIGITAL SENSE, a file name > is meaningful only w/o spaces. So you are making a point which is not in any way true. OK. The challenge then is for you to figure out how to learn and move past that error, or if you really think it is a reasonable claim, explain why so many files and folders with spaces in their names come with computers! In the end you have a preference. Fine. You are welcome to it. And for some cases you are correct: things like file names on the web, for example, should not have spaces. Then again, when we get to the web we get to case sensitivity... another whole can of worms. Heck, for the different parts of a URL, and for different servers, the rules are not always the same! Utter insanity there. :) -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? <http://youtu.be/_dMbXGLW9PI> * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

WTF? You get the 'spaces in folder/file names' issue on the web, too, Mr. 'Web Development Teacher'. What kind of crap are you teaching your 'students'?
