Software Fashion

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the disco-is-not-dead dept.

fedor writes "Software fashions come and go, but they always claim a few victims on the way. Where there's fashion, you'll find that rather weak willed person who is the Stupid Fashion Victim (or the SFV for short). This great article from Software Reality is all about fashion in software. Do you all remember WAP? In a couple of years some of the current 'technologies' will be gone too. The article mentions VB.NET, struts and XP as current fashion..."

    Actually, .NET is taking off big. Just ask any H-1B. While you're at home reading Slashdot, they're doing your job writing applications using .NET, C# and SQL server.

    There are really cute mini horses (NOT ponies, they are a bit different), and no, they are NOT pigs. You have to crouch a bit for sex though.

  5. Can you help me reinstall iLife on my iBook? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Now that wee Macintosh users are k3wl Linux hackers, I feel comfortable in posting this request for help.

    I downloaded the first 10.3.8 update and it fucked up my 233-MHz grape iBook and now I can't get iLife to work. Would somebody tell me how I can get it working again?

    Also, even though I *AM* a k3wl Unix hacker now, could you explain it in terms of which icons to click on, instead of that icky command line interface?

    Thanks,
    "Tron"

    This is old news. Microsoft bases it's whole business model on software fashion. Redressing existing technology for a good showing on the runway.

    Of course, intelligence is your immune system and "The Grid" is the latest fashion.

    Is this the Bush school of "repeat lies often and they become truths?"

    Clearly Gentoo is faddish today, and for good reason. But your dreams of Debian losing "market share" are simply that. Downloads and reported installs continue to increase, and rather quickly lately. Debian continues to win, and your made-up 90% number must have been printed on your asshat.
