.Net:... 3 Years Later

Ashcrow writes "EWeek has posted an article on Microsoft's .NET initiative. It's been three years since we were first introduced to .NET and virtually none of the promised advantages have come true. Is it time for Microsoft to move on?"

    What nonsense. I use .NET every day and it has delivered all of its promised advantages.

    At least it's doing slightly better than GNU/Hurd.

    From that perspective, ASP.NET just totally rocks my world. I can debug more easily. Performance is better. It encourages good architectural practices. And my productivity has gone through the roof - I haven't done any formal tests but based on personal experience I'd say I can develop at *least* 30% faster with ASP.NET compared to any other platform, possibly more.

    I absolutely agree. Since discovering .NET my life has changed! I can concentrate for longer, I'm more confident with girls and my armpits have a wonderful spring morning freshness. .NET, because you're worth it!

    OK, AC, you have me convinced with your insightful argument.

    I use .NET, AND.ORG/.COM/.EDU every day, and I agree 100%.

  8. Re:Not all your base belongs to us by nick_urbanik · · Score: 5, Funny
    Your sig (you may change it in response to this, I hope):
    chown -R us ~your/*base*

    Sorry, but I think that you may have meant by your sig:
    find ~your -name '*base*' | xargs chown us

    The problem with your sig is that you only change the ownership of the base immediately below ~/your home directory, not all your base in directories more than one level below. The problem is that the shell will only expand the *base* in the home directory.

    I hope you can further develop your base chowning skills further, so that all of it belongs to us.
