*add that this 'session' idea requires? - 'multiple desktops' (finally release 'desktop' from being 'metaphor' - on computer - you can have as many desktops as you want for your each task...) - on the corner of the loft - you can have desks and shelves for this task, and on the other corner you can have this desktop for another kind of task etc.)
[We may quote that when researchers and teachers really listened to the kids, they end up making classroom bigger and kids were able to move around - to do this - or that - and kids liked to move around in that space for different activities - quote that episode.]

Why no 'Recent Folders' ? (and why no 'Recent/Current Tasks' registering/indicating capacity?, this kind of 'focus/idea/task' log should be possible.): Recent Folders on the Go menu thing

Why we don't have 'recently used or currently in use' folders command or button?
Why we have to depend on menu bars and pull down menu and click structure? Which is basically not GUI at all.

Mac OS X has recent items, but it's for 'recent applications' and 'recent files' and they are quite useless. [> move on to say idea of 'recent' is something really limited and coming without context. 'Tasks' 'Sessions' idea have more context - and 'recent' is just a mere slice of that process entity.]

We can think most used applications are all registered in Dock by users, so it's quite unnecessary duplication. I have it already, with visual icons, right in front of me. So it doesn't have to show up on the menu in a way.

Files. Say I might go through several hundreds of files per a day, or even more, then registering only 10 or so files is quite pointless. Also, it seems to fail to register all the files - some files for graphics applications never shows up there it seems. Also that 'recent files' - count in 'Start-up items' (which is another 'basically not really working' feature of Mac OS X.)

Then, I need OS to remember at lease 1,000 files. Or say 40 or 50 folders, maybe near 100 tasks or subjects. I think I don't need OS to remember applications, it's in Docks, and most of the time I know them very well already. I'd be able to handle Startup Menu contianing several hundred files or folders - if visualized grouping is implemented, and if I can switch the views. (show only 30, or show 100, or show according to 'tasks', show according to 'created' or 'modified' and so on.)

So if we can register 'task' in to OS, and if we can register (or OS can hold) 'last session' idea - where the session of a task pauses - and I move on to different task or turn off the machine - basically, all these very limited implementation of 'recent applications, recent files and startup items' - can be removed. They are barely developed and barely invested features of OS X.

[[So it's very loopy. If the idea of 'last session' (which Firefox has now) is applied to OS, then we should be able to have OS remembering what are the last sessions, what were used, what got involved (files and apps), and what are registered, jotted down 'recent tasks and ideas' I'm willing to work on. (with labeling slot like 'all encompassing' 'graphics' 'work' 'next round of tasks, maybe next month' ' software glitches' ' important' 'currently at the top of my head' 'someone talking about that topic, finally' and so on. But Mac OS X refuses to work on both ends. Its 'recent' functions and 'start-up' functions both are made to be very unpractical. ]]

So 'Recent apps' function is basically pointless. It's all in Dock. 'recent files' is useless because it only registers 5 or 10 files. And Start-up items is basically 'abandoned feature' in OS X, so it almost looks like Apple decided not to develop these 'work supporting' features so I often wonders where they are really putting their effort and focus on for development.

Past 20 years or more's regular method is go to Finder(in Mac's case), go file menu, choose 'open new finder window' and then by yourself, you have to tour/browse around the directories, find the folder/location you need, and then save the file or open the file - or start sorting out files and folders there etc.

[In other dialogue, Max OS X provides 'recently used folders' - kind of - but for some reasons it's not always very smooth and reliable on my machine (with few external hard disk drives attached. The menu dialogue simply doesn't work - in a way which I can't describe.) * And this function of remembering/registering 'mostly recently used folders' doesn't have to be embedded within an dialogue window. It can be an independent function.]

So OS can have a function to register/memorize 'which are the most recently used/opened folders(file locations).

Then you don't need to go file menu. There'd be a button or command to enter. One click or one key stroke, then OS will indicate folders, been involved in work process recently. Then you just can go there and click the one.

Currently we still don't have such simp

The year 1904 can be remembered as a crucial breakthrough of Chile re-emerging in the international scenery when Braden Copper Company was established in the State of Maine, United States, with a capital of 4 million dollars to initiate operations in El Teniente Mine near Rancagua, Chile. As insignificant it may sound by worldwide standards, little was to be known that one of the largest copper deposits in the world was engaged and a new era of glory begun with the development of large scale mining in Chile. Historically speaking, Chileans were quite aware of rich deposits such as El Teniente, Chuquicamata, Andina, or even El Abra, but not until an adequate technology and significant capitals were invested could the country realize the true potentials which lay ahead as a full scale mining nation and its impact in mineral economy until present days.



Equally important was what sought to be dispersed copper deposits in Chuquicamata in northern Chile not until the Guggenheim brothers who also participated in El Teniente, became interested and with a group of competent geologist determined that Chuquicamata was one big deposit with a total reserve of 690 million tons of oxide and sulphide ores. Production started in 1915 under the tutelage of Chile Exploration Company with an annual production of 45,000 tons of copper.



The profound shift from short term profit business mentality to anonymous long term profit endeavour created a new phenomenon of methodical hard work which granted an empirical knowledge useful not only to exploit natural resources but also offer realistic solutions for future generations.



Today when we look back and reflect upon the meaning of Chilean mining culture, we understand how important these events were to prepare ourselves in a much greater challenge of future global crisis and the inexorable fact of non renewable natural resources.
