  1. Re: No more chavs in Birmingham than anywhere else on Where Is Europe's Silicon Valley? · · Score: 1

    It's not a no go area for non Muslims either.

  2. Re: TNSTAAFL on Sprint Begins Punishing Customers For FCC's Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    You said socialism failed and I gave you an example of where it had been an amazing success. It's hard to tell though what Americans are talking about when it comes to socialism because it could be anything from the Soviet Union to Nazi Germany to people not being bankrupted for the crime of being sick.

    Workhouses were tried in the UK. They didn't work too well.

    It's quite different but still backwards compatible from what I can see.

    Well they're releasing a completely rewritten version next month. Why would they have gone to all that effort if they're about to abandon it and what are they planning to replace it with?

    You do know that you can write Web apps in .NET don't you?

    They've "abandoned" it even though they're about to release C# 6 and a complete rewrite of ASP.NET called vNext which is being released as open source. Or do you have secret insider knowledge that they're planning to rewrite ASP.NET again in Javascript?

    What's wrong with verbosity? Verbosity actually gives you some idea what the command does.

    I work in IT. I enjoy it however I also have a life outside IT. I wouldn't work for an employer who expected me to never leave the computer just to meet their own weird view of what an IT expert should be.

  17. Re: And I'm the feminist deity on Google's Diversity Chief: Mamas Don't Let Their Baby Girls Grow Up To Be Coders · · Score: 1

    Not everyone is a fit parent. Should we just abandon those kids? What about vaccination which has saved countless lives? Should we return to the good old days of whooping cough and tuberculosis epidemics? It's not a black and white "government bad" situation.

    So who should run the army, police, courts, fix the roads, ensure everyone meets a minimum driving standard, set rules for immigration, charter corporations and all the other things that are required for a functioning developed nation that the private sector wouldn't do?

    Samsung make all sorts of devices. Does their refrigerator line steal ideas from the iFridge? The iPhone looks like a small TV to me. That's not an original idea either.

    If women were committing suicide in record numbers or girls were falling behind boys would you be so dismissive? If one of your friends committed suicide despite having cis white hetero male privilege would you be such an arse? Do you lecture white homeless men on their privilege?

    As soon as said company gives up all the benefits of being a corporation, a right granted by the power of the US government, then the US government will have no jurisdiction. Of course not being a corporation will make it very hard to operate, but who needs that damn government interference anyway.
