Comment on How To Print Screen Directly To A File (Windows) by DPS

Haha, well yes, Microsoft have been known to not always be the first to cotton on to an amazing feature.

Sounds like the Linux implementation of this is possibly a bit more user friendly in the way that it allows the location to be chosen.

I do believe that this can be done on OS X as well, but you have to dig in to the config and find the setting – it doesn’t sound as accessible as the Linux implementation.

However, the OS X version is basically ‘point and press’ so I guess both the Linux and OS X implementation have their advantages.

The same functionality has been available in Linux for years. Fn (function) + Pnt Sc opens a save dialog box where you can rename and save to any folder you wish, including desktop and make the setting you choose as default!
Nice to know the world’s largest software company is catching up with the freeware/Unix derivative community. Next they might make an OS the does what the consumer wants rather than what they want!!!

Comment on Does Static Content Have A Future On The Modern WWW? by DPS

Thanks Ben .

Yeah, you’re right. Indeed there are numerous different ways in which a page can be dynamic.

And yeah, especially over the past couple of years things really seem to have steamrollered on and are developing at a much faster pace online .

Over the past few years we’ve seen applications previously (and solely) desktop based, be replicated on the Interent – such as document editing (as you mentioned with Google Docs), image editing etc.

Great article David.

I’ve thought about this before too, and the fact that most websites now make use of client-side technologies like JavaScript – and in a way, many people would consider JavaScript as a way to make web pages dynamic in some form or another. I think to an extent it depends on the context when using the term “dynamic web page”.

Although obviously, web pages have become more advanced, and more complex over time. Many web pages are also dynamic in the sense of a back-end web application dealing with the dynamic functions of a website – search fields, forums, membership systems, etc. – whether that’s with PHP, ASP.NET or another language primarily used server-side.

It surprises me with how advanced many websites are both in terms of user interface and how dynamic websites are. In fact, web apps are a popular think nowadays, like ShiftEdit, Google Docs, and so on.
