I was responding to yet another retard on here using Greece as an example of the "ills" of state intervention. Germany is doing significantly better right now than everyone but China and somehow still manages to look after its citizens.
Age discrimination must be the government's fault since no business would ever discriminate against any particular group of people for fear of going instantly bust due to the magic market fairy [/libertarian]
This isn't EDLFuckwits.org. There are so many white English paedophiles from Gary Glitter to Roy Whiting to Levi Bellfield. And where were you oh so caring Nazis when these girls needed help. Marching through towns that don't want you there against a Muslim "threat" that isn't even as bad as the IRA were in the 70s and 80s and threatening councils about Winterval, a Daily Mail lie that you retards lapped up.
If you want to make the UK a better place, volunteer for children's charities that work to prevent vulnerable youngsters from being abused like this instead of getting gleefully excited about hating a whole section of society for the activities of a few evil scumbags.
You mean Visual Studio has a clairvoyant extension that figures out what your business will need from now until whenever and generates all the code for you? Fuck me where's that option, it would save me so much time!
You might enjoy spending days of trial and error getting a screen to look right but I realise that computers are there to make people's lives easier. In any case I was using a screen designer in 1991 doing CICS COBOL screens so it's not exactly a new-fangled idea, except to weirdoes like yourself. I've come across dyed in the wool people who refused to use a step-through debugger because "you can't rely on it" and preferred to have zillions of print statements to wade through instead. I assume you're one of those.
There are loons on both sides. You should read what Richard Littlejohn, a Rush Limbaugh wannabe who writes for the UK Daily Mail, says about climate scientists all the time.
You're not listening. GOOGLE DO NOT OWN THOSE STANDARDS. Webkit is not owned by Google and SPDY is a web protocol that will require the cooperation of Apache and Microsoft to become implemented. IE6 was an standards-breaking abomination forced on a captive market by a predatory monopoly in order to keep out competition. Webkit is an open source rendering engine that has two major competing browsers built around it. It's not even the whole browser. Webkit specific extensions may be built but given that Webkit is completely open source there would be nothing stopping Firefox and IE implementing them. SPDY is not such a thing in any case, it's a protocol. It's no more browser specific than WebGL. Trusting Google unquestioningly would be foolish, however you're going to have to do a lot better if you want to convince anyone that they're even remotely like Microsoft. You really should read the findings of fact. They're very enlightening.
John and Jane would ask me/you/another geek how to do it and I would show them. This is not.doc or SMB where complex technological work was required for interoperability, this is "fill in your Google details in the same way as you filled in your Hotmail details and then drag your mail over". What do you think Google should do? Have an "Export to Hotmail" button? Where is the "Export to GMail" button on Hotmail, a site run by an actual convicted monopolist and burden on the IT industry?
Safari is utterly dominant on iOS devices. Chrome is utterly dominant on Android devices.
Is Safari a Google product? No. Are Apple likely to help Google become dominant? LOL.
You're missing the point. THERE IS NO GOOGLE WEBSERVER AT ALL! It will require the cooperation of at the very least Apache and probably Microsoft and at least two others as well to become a new standard. Besides which SPDY is an open and fully documented protocol. It's not SMB or ActiveX, and if Google do try to fuck with Apache and Microsoft they will be told to fuck off. All the HTTP and TCP code will not vanish, it will still be there.
Don't try to wave the "I'm an IT professional" shite at me. I'm an IT professional too, with probably a great deal more experience than you. I remember when IBM were the great evil and I remember only too well Microsoft slashing and burning their way through the 90s, destroyiing perfectly good platforms and software in their rapacious greed and setting back the IT industry several years. Google are nowhere fucking near them in any way, shape or form. Read Judge Jackson's findings of fact (set before the nightmare of IE6) and try to find any Google equivalents for any of Microsoft's numerous crimes.
Webkit is not without competition even on mobile devices, and given that Apple also has a serious stake in Webkit your argument fails. In any case there are several different browsers on Google Play, and on the desktop IE is still heavily used in a corporate setting despite its market share dropping all the time. Few corporations are considering Chrome, and as long as that vast market is using Windows desktops and IE, Chrome will not dominate anything.
I haven't glossed over SPDY at all but looking at it it appears to be an attempt at a replacement for HTTP and TCP. I don't see the one Google web server to rule them all anywhere. Do you think Apache, Microsoft and any of the other web server developers will do exactly what Google wants if they start trying to exert any pressure? Besides which SPDY is a fully documented open protocol. It's hardly SMB or.doc. WebM is the same. An open standard, not a patent-encumbered one or an undocumented, only works on one platform, one.
This is nothing whatsoever like Microsoft's crushing of Netscape, pollution of Java, bullying of Intel and the PC OEMs, undocumented document formats, destroying small competitors, per CPU licensing and all the many, many other misdeeds and outright crimes that it committed and was convicted of in both of its main markets. You should try reading Judge Jackson's findings of fact from the 2001 anti-trust trial. You'll see from that that Google has a very long way to go to catch Microsoft in evil, let alone outdo them.
Just as a matter of interest, in what markets do Apple operate where they have little to no competition? I suppose tablets but they're not demanding a payment for an iOS license per tablet sold like Microsoft did with Windows. They're bothering Samsung in the courts about similarities between the iPad and the Galaxy Tab but they're not, as an example, trying to cut off Samsung's air supply, or creating their own version of Dalvik with iOS extensions to disrupt it, or threatening not to support ARM's latest chips if they don't drop cross-platform libraries.
Exporting Google Mail isn't terribly difficult. Microsoft allowing you to import it has nothing to do with Google. Putting their stuff in their browser when they have 2 other major competitors has nothing on driving all other browsers out of the market and imposing a non-standard browser that set the web back a few years. WebM - lol you are clutching at straws aren't you. WebM has failed miserably to unseat h264 which is, unlike, Chrome, monopoly rent protected via patents. I suggest you read Judge Jackson's findings of fact and see just how badly behaved Microsoft were, and how Google, so far, have nothing at all on them as a scumbag corporation.
You're never going to win an argument with "you're too stupid to understand me" especially when you have the delusion that the free market would have stopped segregation. Being called a nigger-lover and being shunned by the majority of your customers for serving black people would have continued private business segregation for ever.

So libertarians do think that then :P
They haven't moved it. There are two factories in the UK and they are recruiting heavily right now.
I was responding to yet another retard on here using Greece as an example of the "ills" of state intervention. Germany is doing significantly better right now than everyone but China and somehow still manages to look after its citizens.
As would that other failed state Germany.
Pity there are plenty of people who aren't, hence laws against race and sex discrimination.
Try telling any libertarian that logical and realistic piece of common sense.

.NET is not just C# either.
Which ones?
Java and COBOL are nothing like each other. You obviously know nothing about either.
The only thing that Java and COBOL have in common are that they're programming languages.

He was shot dead. That's a pretty epic fail. In any case if you think the US wasn't a corporation-run state before 2009 you're delusional.

Bullshit. Office 2007 doesn't even work flawlessly under Windows.
Wouldn't a mass boycott of air travel force the free market to remove the TSA?
