Perfect UI

[TheQuirk]

What features would be, in your opinion, in the perfect UI?

[SpeeDFreaK]

A 3d UI. A cube desktop with the program windows able to be suspended in midair, placed on a wall, tilted, rotated, manipulatable in every possible way. Maybe a winamp or xmms plugin to where one wall is used as a graphic equalizer. But I don't know how you would go about the K Menu, start button, etc.

Hmmm, a perfect UI...  I think I've been using it for quite some time now.  It looks something like this:

[voidmain@disneyland voidmain]$

[badkarma]

the perfect UI would be thought controlled......

[lazygamer]

UI? What is that? Is that like a GUI?

[voidmain]

Well, sort of, execpt a UI doesn't necessarily have to be graphically oriented like a GUI does (Graphical User Interface).  Hence my Bash prompt example is non graphical and I am just as happy there as anywhere.

i really like the 3d cube idea.

[Master of Reality]

it would involve fire.

Voidmain you can go fondle your gay eunuchs prompt with commands like "finger" and "ramsize," but I prefer using a GUI.  No, I'm not stupid, it's just that computers seem so much more enjoyable to use these days compared to 20 years ago where everything was done on a blurry green screen prompt.  Maybe you relesh the old days because Bill Gates hadn't dominated the market with his wonderful products yet.

PS So how does this web page look under lynx?  I bet multitasking, photo editing, word processing, and file viewing are a lot easier under the command prompt, huh?  Well, I don't blame you, I mean, it's not like Linux has any capable GUI's anyway...

As soon as you Linux heads do the same

XP Luser, you still haven't answered my question that I have been asking you for so long.  If you don't like it, why are you still here?  What is it that you like about Bill Gate's dick so much?  Is it the taste?  

And to answer all of your questions, yes, file browsing, photo editing, word processing, web browsing, mail reading are *all* much easier from a shell prompt.  I can easily automate most everything that you have to do manually and let my computer do the work. After all, that's what computers are here for. To do the work for me so I can go play golf.  Dumb shit.

Automation is not a concept that Windows users can comprehend.  They would rather make love to their Windows all day long..

What you mean all that stuff is ACTUALLY easier without a GUI? Voidmain im begging you, record a "before and after" .avi somehow showing "l33t comp activities with GUI" and "l33t comp activities without GUI".  

I'll watch if you make it(and make sure it doesn't leave me scratching my head).
