The Polar Express

So, I just saw a preview for The Polar Express. Don’t get me wrong, I actually have quite a fondness for many animated movies. But this looks like the biggest excuse for a piece of crap cartoon that I have ever seen.

Delete dialog changes in JuK

Real-life usability of warning signs.

We’ve probably all heard by now of the fact that most users will, when presented with a dialog that interrupts them from doing their work, will just get rid of the dialog as quickly as possible instead of reading it over. Bug 83495 is an example of this kind of bug.
