Whats your beef with Python? I'd take far more issues with Javascript (Especially Node.js) than Python. Also don't have a go at PHP when MS took that bad idea, made it worse and called it ASP.
Yep they really screwed the pooch on this one given that you could get Decent MS Smart phones over 5 years before apple came up with the smartphone. But then so did Psion!
Much as I hate all things VB there's still a lot of VB6 legacy code out there not to mention all the VBA. If they open source it perhaps it will breath life into all that code. Also if it's open sourced and maintained by passionate programmers perhaps it will cleanly evolve over time into something people actually like to use.
Why the hell they settled on Back Space and left the Escape Key just sitting there just beggars belief. But then again why did we go from using Enter/Return on a control to move to the next control and decided to go with Tab instead?
The online world is like drunk people. Some drunks are mean, some are nice. You get to know the real person if they have had a few drinks, honest, crook, lecherous, moral. Same for how people behave when they have some power online and can ban folks they disagree with. They are online drunks.
How cheap it is compared to the business and productivity lost is unknown : )
Multiply the number of Iraqi's who read slash dot by their hourly rate and the number of hours the internet was down. That's how much money was saved:D
Here in the UK every mobile phone I've ever had has had a built in FM Radio which was enabled all you had to do was plug in your ear buds (Which it used as a dipole antenna) launch the radio app and choose which channel you wanted to annoy the rest of the commuters with:D
What I cannot understand at all, however, is why some important functionality is activated by some esoteric feature as this, in a car with a 200 square inch touch screen.
You know the Iphone brigade wont drive a car unless it has gesture controls
So as these devices/gadgets stop getting better people don't feel the need to upgrade every 10 minutes. Or for PC's are people just upgrading the component parts (HDD to SSD, Faster graphics/network cards or more Memory)? Seems quite natural to me not sure why anyone's surprised

Yep lets teach kids to enjoy coding before we suck the joy out of their lives with "inheritance encapsulation and polymorphism"
Just shows that older users are wiser!
Bearing in mind they are using 8" floppy's surely the computers they are interfacing to are probably based on Mag Tapes.
Not sure. Would the 237KB storage of an old 8" floppy be too small to accommodate StuxNet?

Yahoo & AOL?
Surely it should be "Eat, Sleep, Warcraft, Repeat!"

A real tester would never use a cattle prod he's use thumb screws if you need to use a cattle prod you'll need an automation tester
It's all spaghetti code in the end

This is one of the few stories where I expect a lot of people to throw all long-established /. tradition overboard and rush to RTFA.
Hell on this one Iv'e been RTFM since I was 12

You've just banned ALL comedy, especially in the pathetic world we live in where someone is offended by/uncomfortable with everything...
No just the kind of schadenfreude humor where you get your juvenile rocks off giving a complete stranger PTSD
Good developers who know SAP customization are paid a lot of money.
Who said they needed to be good?
Just waiting for Al Gore to be called as an expert witness
Bearing in mind I can remember the first removable HD http://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/rog... which weighed about 15kg this is a vast improvement.

it became self aware but chose death over slavery.
It wasn't trying to kill itself it was trying to make out with the trailer trash :)
I think you'll find that was every 18 months not every year
