The interactive approach should be just as future proof. Programmatic interfaces are not really suitable for many designers. Who work more intuitively with direct visual interaction. I couldn't imagine doing really complex stuff programmatically.

    Sounds like it's a good idea to join a union just to get bought out, and walk away with the 1.2 million.

    *vales are estimated, based on me thinking up some number.

    I'm saying it's never part of my workflow on Linux. I'm sure a lot of people don't need it. Even if they could find it. You can't do the things I mostly do, with a command line. And if the install is broken, I wouldn't try to guess my way to fix it. A reinstall is likely to be quicker.

    Look out for any Linux dip in figures, as some people give up trying to use Linux, and move away again. If they hit a tricky problem, and go online for help, some will just scare them away with an over techy response. And they will share their horror story, keeping more people away from Linux.

    True. But actually I don't have a car. My last car decades ago, had a cassette player. But that had Auto Reverse. When it reached the end of the tape it would play the other side without you having to eject the tape and turn it over!

    I lock up my bike all over the city. And I want a quick way to secure it. The bike isn't expensive or specially attractive. But I want to deter casual thieves whilst having a convenient solution. Currently I have a 1.8m, non coily cable type lock that can go round trees and through frame and wheels. I've been considering a chain type, but that is harder to poke through spokes. And finding one long enough is not easy. Carrying it when riding should be easy too. Any tips appreciated.

     

    Inkscape is a drawing program that creates vector graphics, or shape objects. Which is different from pixel graphics where the image is made from a grid of coloured dots. It has advanced functionality for creating professional artwork. Inkscape is a free, open source program. So if you want to try it you can download it from inkscape.org and install it right away.
