  1. Re:This still doesn't address fragmentation on Holo Theme Is Now Mandatory For Android Devices · · Score: 1

    Get a life. Its like you spend hours preparing your comments to articles before they hit /. just so you can be first post and spread your filth.

  2. Re:Why does PayPal still exist? on Paypal Orders Buyer of Violin To Destroy It For a Refund · · Score: 2

    Its actually a 99.07% happy ratio according to my calculations

    in other news...
    "breast cancer is the best" = 323 million
    "breast cancer sucks" = 5.6 million
    98.3% happy ratio

    Granted, breast cancer has slightly less customer satisfaction than PayPal, but I'm thinking you can't really use that metric either. Either that or PayPal isn't aiming very high.

    Have you actually tried WP7 or tried developing for it? Your blind hatred is showing.

    So does .Net. PHP has absolutely no advantages.

  5. You're doing it wrong on Ask Slashdot: Which Web Platform Would You Use? · · Score: 2

    I suggest your whole team takes some course on software architecture and design patterns. Contrary to what you say, .Net does not encourage that - you people simply don't know what you're doing. If you write that kind of crap in .Net I'd hate to see your PHP code.

  6. Re:ASP.NET and C# on Ask Slashdot: Which Web Platform Would You Use? · · Score: 1

    You do not have to use the controls. You can always use Response.Write("etcetcetc"), which I generally do because I truly dislike the WebForms architecture. ASP.Net to me is more about the ".Net" than it is the "ASP" - you get C#, access to the BCL/any other .Net assembly + JIT compilation.

    Of course, you could also always go with ASP.Net MVC which is a very powerful platform that once again does not use that WebForms bullshit.

    All that being said, it would be hard for anyone to convince me that PHP is a better language than C#. Most of the complaints directed towards ASP.Net are against the back-asswards WebForms framework.

    Would love to have mod points to mod you up... the idea of the OP saying "where it didn't start with a monopoly is just ludicrous".

    I know you meant it to be a joke, but XP and onward rarely bluescreens anymore. I experience more kernel panics in Ubuntu than I do in Windows these days.

    wtf is with the mods marking pro-MS posts flamebait and troll? I happen to think Android is a superior OS, but to mod this post as Troll is an obvious abuse of mod points.

    Why is this modded "-1 flamebait"? You may disagree with this (as I do - I support Android), but Flamebait != Disagree.

    How many times does it have to be said that copyright infringement is not "stealing" before you get it through your skull? You only hurt your credibility by displaying your ignorance.

    Now we have a generation who just feels entitled to steal.

    For the gagillionth time, copyright infringement is not stealing. That is not to say it is not illegal/ethically wrong, but it is decidedly NOT "stealing". Anyone who says it is only hurts their credibility by displaying their ignorance in such a manner.

  14. Re:The actual damages... on Actual Damages For 1 Download = Cost of a 1 License · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I have seen many, many people use "Copyright infringement is not stealing" in an attempt to justify copyright infringement.

    People us "Copyright infringement is not stealing" in an attempt to correct you morons that say it is. That line is not a value judgement on the inherent justifications of copyright infringement. It is a statement of fact, nothing more.

    the problem is that people are getting modded down now if they praise anything Apple does or criticize anything related to Google or Android.

    You get modded down for trolling.
    And you get modded up for spreading your Apple shill. Stop playing around, you are getting modded up enough already.

    I especially like how you get first post on every Android/Apple article, somehow writing 10 paragraphs and still in FP. And you do get modded up even though 50% of what you wrote is total bullshit.

    I think the whole point the parent is attempting to make is that even backasswards poor countries like Singapore invest more in education than the U.S. does (assuming those figures are correct).
