It was a great boom for Linux and OSX that a developer could make a Chrome OS app and literally be cross-platform (of course with some downsides). Odd move by Google IMO. I'm guessing less devs will support only Chrome OS apps.
I'm concerned about the mobile-friendly options for MM. Slack has pretty good iOS apps (and others, but I've never tried them). Does MM have quality mobile apps?
If you would take a slight stroll from your worldview to the "Biblical worldview" you learn about the theology of inspiration. See, Christians (most traditions) believe that God did not write the Bible. It is the common belief that God inspired (or, more literally, God-breathed) the words through the guidance of his spirit through his followers. So, if you can put on that perspective, it would make sense why it is so embedded and entangled into the dozens of authors' cultural norms and approaches. It also would explain why it doesn't put other books to shame; they are all written by people!
Since the theology of the authorship of the Bible specifically posits that it was written by people, then that would also explain why it does not address things that the writers did not know.
Lastly, many of the writings of the Christian Bible (somewhat similarly for the Jewish Bible) were written for a particular occasion (this is even more true in the New Testament epistles and gospels). Thus, the message of those writings needed to have a purpose and the implied audience (as opposed to the empirical audience [see implied/empirical authorship/audience theory]) is the intended audience for the author. All this to say, that is why it's challenging to find truths that we can agree on when reading an ancient text, for ancient cultures, by ancient authors, and find application in a 21st-century world. It's not impossible, but that is the challenge of exegesis.
The slideshow issue is significant though. Where are the great FOSS presentation tools like Prezi or that have the polish of Keynote? The most recent PPT is decent.
Trying to do presentations on a Nix machine is a nightmare.
Postmark App has been very effective for our platform. Very little gets flagged and they have an easy way for users to "appeal" and have their emails approved. The only thing (good and bad) is that if a vendor erroneously flags our emails to our provider team as spam, Postmark won't event attempt to deliver it. It's a hard no. So, we have to have an email sent from that address to Postmark to (in essence) re-subscribe /verify that they want the emails to come through. This happens even though people aren't manually flagging them as spam, it's something on Y!, Gmail, Hotmail, etc. are doing on the back end.
This is exactly what I'm thinking. I expect a post in he next day or so from Open Whisper people to lend credibility to this project. They seem to be the Go-To these days.
Why do you think they are so poorly supported? I know relatively few users have multi-GPU systems...it may be as simple as that, but I would have expected DX, OpenGL, and the new one from Valve (blanking right now, Vulcan?) would have improved usage and stability with minimal per-game development.
I’d be curious if certain syntaxes are easier than others.
