Speak for yourself. I'm typing on a thinkpad at the moment, I use the trackpoint all the time. Once you've mastered it, you no longer need to move your hands between typing / moving the mouse. Your fingers stay on the keyboard.
Maybe large swaths of users wouldn't download enhancement suites if you actually listened to them? It took like 3 years to support the basic feature to "never group tabs" in the Taskbar -- that's been supported by previous versions of windows for decades. That's why I downloaded patches.
This is a shame. CBC should trim the fat elsewhere.
What are your thoughts on state funded media? I see the benefits but also the drawbacks, namely their partisanship when a political opponent wants to stop the hand outs

I think it is a good layman's explanation, but I think the author could have explained NPC a bit better though, ie. mapping the inputs and outputs of a problem to a known NPC problem. Perhaps a brief overview of how NPC problems are proved to be NPC.
Gaming companies contributed to the death of LAN parties too. They killed the "split-screen" gameplay that would support 2-4 players on the same machine. They wanted each player to require their own copy of the game. They killed LAN support, forcing you to play on their servers. Culturally we saw a shift towards social isolation. People are more comfortable talking over a mic.
Front-end (web?) is a more narrow domain than what I was speaking to. It sounds like you are pointing out specific issues that you encountered when working on a particular project.
How is SOLID responsible for these issues? The acronym represents guidelines.
What you are describing sounds awful. IoC can get nasty when developers are inexperienced and off-the-leash.
Keep in mind that everyone is ignorant. We all have different experiences with different technologies on different codebases.
