    There's something wrong when you use "working hard" in a sentence about gaming. Gaming is supposed to be fun, it's not supposed to be work.

    No, it sits in vaults doing nothing while most of the human race starve. My favourite rich guy story is this one where he was so rich he didn't even notice for a couple of years that someone had stolen loads of money from him. Trickle-down is bullshit.

    He's said it repeatedly on this thread. I lost track of the utter shite he's spouted tonight. Please accept my apologies. However he's still talking bollocks and quoting a tedious (and wrong) coding snob to make his point.

    Yes I do. I've already asked you what Microsoft are planning to replace ASP.NET with and you, of course, have no idea because you don't know what you're talking about.

    I'll see your 15 years and raise you 17 years including current development in MS technologies. You still don't know what you're talking about. Where is your evidence that .NET is dying? Are Microsoft going to kill off ASP.NET which is extremely successful? What are they planing to replace it with? Are they planning to completely rewrite Dynamics CRM and Sharepoint, both of which are ASP.NET applications, and both of which had new versions out recently? If so in what?

  14. Re:Microsoft Does Not Eat Its own Dog Food on .NET Programmers In Demand, Despite MS Moves To Metro · · Score: 1

    You apparently did not hear Mark Andreasson's comment that of all the startups he funds--not one uses a single product from Microsoft. .NET is dying and is on fumes now.

    That might be because Microsoft software costs money. You don't know what you're talking about. Sharepoint and Dynamics CRM are written in it. Visual Studio is written in it. ASP.NET is hugely popular. Go get yourself a clue. Dead platforms don't have more posts than they can fill.

    A new release of a movie gives you two hours of enjoyment for $20.

    If you're lucky. Books don't cost hundreds of millions to write though so your analogy falls down a bit.

  19. Re:1 million downloads @ 99c is still 990,000 doll on Should Book Authors Pursue a Patronage Model? · · Score: 1

    I've bought plenty of books that cost me 99p. I've refused point blank to pay £13 for an ebook since that is just taking the piss. The author of the £13 book did not get my money, however the dozen or so authors that sold me their book at 99p did. Some of the books were a bit crap and some of it was really good. I later borrowed the £13 book from a friend and although it was pretty good, it wasn't any better than the best of the 99p lot. Publishers are retarded if they think they can get away with the hardback first paperback later scam with ebooks.

  20. Re:Are we talking about the same Microsoft? on MS Buying Yahoo? Bad Idea, Even At a Discount · · Score: 1

    I hate to break it to you but .NET, especially ASP.NET is hugely successful and wildly popular. This leads to sales of Visual Studio, Windows Server and SQL Server which makes Microsoft a not insignificant amount of money.

    A government that can't stop the powerful from dominating those without power is, by definition, powerless. I've yet to hear a libertarian advocate that giant corporations' power should be restrained by the state, which is what is required, not a free-for-all on one side, or oligarchy on the other.
