The article (which is shit, it's just the rambling of a web developer) says that you need to do development many times in different languages for each platform. Yet C and even C++, real programming languages and not toy or hipster languages, will actually work everywhere and can satisfy all requirements : client-side, server-side, iOS, Android...
Of course, since the only games on the list are Quake 3 and Doom 3, games from 1999 and 2004 respectively. A modern graphics card can finally run 15-year old games at max speed! What an impressive feat.
Pretty much all the features they need are standard features or are better addressed by a dedicated library. Also it's more a framework than a runtime. Learn the difference, it could save your life.
There is nothing good about pretending you've understood something. One of my employees did that a while ago, and his work was late and inadequate. If there is something you don't understand, it's better to just say it so that it can be explained again and progress can be made.
The post I replied to said that secret agents were driving at 90, implying it was very fast and dangerous. He very probably meant 90 mph, but didn't specify it. I said that 90 km/h isn't that fast, to show that not using units can lead to confusion. I don't even understand why I need to explain this for you.
What are those daytimes minutes you speak of? Is your country so behind the times that the amount of minutes you can speak with your cellphone isn't unlimited?
Germany is the most powerful country in the EU. I've never seen them being treated as second-class. Sure, they're not part of the UN security council, but quite a few countries with nuclear weaponry aren't either.
A CEO typically does 80-hour weeks, and has a sufficiently good understanding of the product and the market that he managed to make a business with it. Do you seriously think that it's a problem that he's paid marginally more than his employees that do 40-hour weeks and don't directly contribute to bringing money inside the company?

That's because upstart was BETA software from Canonical.
I'll buy it for 1,000 bucks.
I had quite the laugh. The comment boxes are about 10 pixels large, and so is the reply box.
I thought it was agreed that BSD won.
Freedom includes the right to establish a contract that strips your freedom.

Maybe it will be as successful as Rasterman's previous mobile OS project, OpenMoko.

You need money, but money is not sufficient to get good programmers of the level they'd need to be able to compete with iOS and Android.
Not at all. Hardware-centric people are known for writing very bad software.
Being one of the top hardware vendors doesn't magically enable you to write good software.

Since their workload is 100% write, I recommend they use WOM (Write Only Memory).

If you don't care about how things work behind the scenes, then you probably shouldn't come to this website.

In case this wasn't obvious, my post was to criticize the use of archaic units on an international website.

More like two or even one day pay.

Try funding your own company and you'll see.

For small-medium companies, the CEO is only paid 150k to 350k.
