Joe Schmoe is familiar with with the production of FOO. FOO is expensive to produce, an individual probably could produce one without prohibitive cost. Joe has figured a way to make BAR, an item significantly better than FOO, but it still costs about the same as FOO. Joe wants to sell BAR to companies, doesn't want them to steal it from him. With a first-to-prototype style of patent, Joe has no protection.
Federation - A collection of semi-independent substates Republic - A government run by a group constrained by the laws of the government, where the governed have some method within the laws of the government, to affect the ruling group. Democracy -A government run by the vote of the people.
We are a Federation - each state has a relatively high level of independence. We are also a Democratic Republic - We have a Republic form of government, enabled by a democratic process (the ruling individuals are selected directly or indirectly by the people, but the majority of decisions are NOT made by the general population).
There are plenty of cases where that is bad - collaboration via email, it support with multiple groups, etc. I prefer options that require an extra bit of effort for the reply all, that usually works well enough.
I like the solution in K-9 Mail (android app) better.
The on screen menu has 'reply', you actually have to tap another button to get to 'reply-all'. It can be tedious, but it has prevented the reply-all issues in my case.
so, documentation for.net exists eh ? wow. that was a surprise. too bad that i didnt say 'no documentation'. i said it gets trampled by php.a
i dont think you are trolling or not. only someone who is utterly ignorant about internet, or totally locked into his/her corporate culture/environment, or someone who is trolling could attempt to compare php documentation and guides and tutorials to net. net is nonexistent, compared to php in that regard. newbies dont even learn php through any books or anything - any question, they ask google, and they get all kinds of concise or extensive answers step by step. one step further than that, is someone randomly knocking at your door in physical reality and offering you to teach how to fetch your mail from your mailbox with php.
I miss Mindy. She was in my freshman English class- long, long ago. We worked on a project together. Unfortunately she had a fiance. She also never needed any computer assistance.
In general, only someone who is utterly ignorant cannot find something good about the opposing side - if there was nothing good about it, people wouldn't use it.
I get a *LOT* of interesting stuff for my coding (be it Java, Python, PHP or.NET) from 3rd examples and tutorals online, anyone can.
I didn't say PHP didn't have any IDEs, and note I qualified.NET as having *ONLY* one more IDE, and not in the main 'win' category. I can get at least C# in many/most IDEs that also run PHP. If either wins that category, it's by only a very small margin.
1) Speed ->.NET 2) IDEs -> Varies by user, VS, Eclipse, whatever, and most that can handle PHP can handle C# or VB.NET ->.NET 3) Features in Built in Library ->.NET 4) Available Modules from 3rd party devs -> ??? 5) Documentation -> Parity, both have very good documentation
So, as far as I can see, the only place.NET could win out is #4.NET wins on 1 and 3. On #2,.NET wins, but only due to one more IDE on #5, no clear winner.
There's a difference between sandboxing scripts which you facilitate the execution of/interperate yourself (Javascript, to a lesser extent Flash and Java) and native code.
Thinking of the Windows servers I admin and used be an assistant admin for - we usually used reboots only after a large number of other diagnostics were tried. For our desktop users, yes, we said reboot first - but anything on the server should be stable enough as to not need a reboot.
Actually, I am to blame for the one Windows server restart at my last job that wasn't due to a patch that required it. Long day, logged onto the backup domain controller and accidentally restarted it instead of logged out (yes, it has that extra popup. it was a LONG day).
But yeah, I think the rebooting first with a server is in general just bad administration, regardless of OS.
I wouldn't read too much into it. From what I can tell the author is a idiot. He knows some stuff, probably to an impressive extent even, but he's too arrogant and one-size-fits-all.
I don't know of any Unix admin who reboots early-on. Even the few I know (myself included) who came over from windows (or still admin it).
Maybe, but in our lawyer filled world, with plenty of people actively trying to engineer ways to sue others, it is unfortunately necessary to keep in business in some areas.
The legalize is not the only part of the puzzle, but what they do with it is also relevant. Do they use that 'ownership' to abuse their customers, or do they let their customers do what they want with the data?
That only makes sense if you assume the people who subscribe via the application, would not have subscribed otherwise. If you don't make that assumption then you notice, there is the possibility of losing money.
Ex:
User 1 - I like newspaper X, I'll see if they have it available on my iDevice.
User 2- Oh, look, newspaper X has an app on the app store, why not get it?
This costs newspaper X money in the case of User 1, and increases profit in the case of User 2. Now companies have to decide - is the gain from the second category worth the loss in the first?

I thought it was a Democratic Republic. Either way, yes, the government is still a Republic, not a democracy.
Representative Republic seems moderately redundant.

do you have a link? I'm curious to read the surrounding docs.
hmm...
The politicians are the Terrorists!
Remember kids, if you support a politician, a terrorist wins!

Politics do count - look at all the lies in politics, obviously politics aren't true. Your rule is not broken, no exception is needed.

Wow, Nonexistent you say?
I disagree completely. And apparantly so does google. Got all those on my first half-hearted search.

Sticking to the 2.0 runtime, I've not had *ANY* troubles with mono.
Mind you, I've not used it on a Mac, and I've read that calling external libraries on a Mac is a bit qurky
Err, typo, the only place PHP could win out is #4
By what exact definition would you come up with?
1) Speed -> .NET .NET .NET
2) IDEs -> Varies by user, VS, Eclipse, whatever, and most that can handle PHP can handle C# or VB.NET ->
3) Features in Built in Library ->
4) Available Modules from 3rd party devs -> ???
5) Documentation -> Parity, both have very good documentation
So, as far as I can see, the only place .NET could win out is #4 .NET wins on 1 and 3. .NET wins, but only due to one more IDE
On #2,
on #5, no clear winner.

Every part of the server application I admin on Windows or Linux is proprietary.
Wait, no, the Windows piece uses GhostScript which isn't proprietary.
It's very stable. Proprietary doesn't make something junk - bad developers make it junk.
nuclear detonation facilitated morse code?
I'm sure that would visible at a huge distance, regardless of weather. Sure it'd be a bit harmful to the sender, but nothing is perfect, eh?
Nor does it mean they can't return, possibly better than ever.
*cough*Apple*cough*
That sounds like horrible software.

It's fairly easy to get around the no open source rule though.
Every time you release closed source MyReallyAwesomeApp, immediately release an open sourced OpenMyReallyAwesomeApp.
That only makes sense if you assume the people who subscribe via the application, would not have subscribed otherwise. If you don't make that assumption then you notice, there is the possibility of losing money.
Ex:
User 1 - I like newspaper X, I'll see if they have it available on my iDevice.

Maybe I should just install Plan9 on my Nokia phone instead, skipping all of these options?
wait, 0x9 0xC
Why wasn't I informed that Nokia had already made Plan9 phones???
