Hey old guy, we have this great thing called Google. By the way, the first printed use of the word was referring to people who were illegally hijacking phone line at MIT.
This thing below is called a 'link'. The device next to your keyboard is called a 'mouse'. Use it to move the pointer on your screen then left click on the 'link' in you IE 6 browser.
a guy who will solve their big problems for next to nothing. Having been there, what this means is they want to pay you scraps for you to work 60 hour weeks to save them millions.
And visa versa. You have added exactly nothing to the conversation. That's becasue there isn't really an argument against VB6 as a high level rapid development tool.
The goal of a high level programming language is to crate applications that do what the customers want it to do. Not be clean, or small, or the best use of memory.
VB6 did that well, very well in fact.
Updating something that works to a 'new' language 'just cause' is a bad business decision. In fact, there is a lot of technical merit in not doing so.,
Betrween this: " The last good show, Eureka, got canceled."
and this: "True I'm a season behind. I'm only about halfway through season 1..... seems "ehh" so far" clearly your opinion on what is 'good TV' can't be trusted.
You know they create shows that are B grade intentionally, right? They have people just to do that, and there kind of fun popcorn movies. I was watching one so well I was convinced it was an actually early 1970s sci-fi..the they mention homeland security. Heh, that hair, costumes filming style where dead on.
Next day, post it on a site with commercials in it, DVD quality.Commercial can be zip code based. Have an option for someone to pay a buck to see it without ads high quality. Make the blu-ray available immediately at the end of the seasons.. Have an option to subscribe to all shows, for 20 bucks a month. Sell a devices for people who need it that's easy to use. Plug in Cat cable, plug in HDMI.
Develop a model where you will eventually be online subscriber only, forgo cable/satellite
The tech to change to the incoming model exists right now.
Where is something that will piss a bunch of you off:
It would behoove the industry immensely if there was a site for all shows under this model. Every show that ever existed. free with commercials, pay without. Hulu was so damn close.

going to a new technology for an industry has risks? [YOU DON'T SAY]

".NET is actually awesome,"
SUbjective, although I agree.
" especially when used with C#"
Subjective
". Java is too much bloat and slow and needs to die."
A ohhible sentence that is false
"But .NET is awesome and targets all PC, XBOX360 and Windows Phone 7"
Subjective
" And you can use the best IDE on the planet, Visual Studio, to develop."
False. It lacks several thing much older IDEs had.

Many, many Radio shows are annoying as hell.
Many TV shows are good viewing and not about the glitz.

HAHahhahahahahahaha hahaha

OMG. for some one who hates something like that, you sure as hell make no effort to find out shit.
Does everything need to be handed to you? Can you even feed yourself?
so people you know prefer to waste time making extra clicks? Interesting definition of 'smart'.
Yes. You not getting entertainment is exactly the same as killing million and millions of people.
GoT isn't a nerd show.
Neither is CA, HP or Hugo.
