Males are not considered to be virtuous at all irrespective of colour. Try being anywhere near children as a man and see how 'virtuous' the man is considered to be. Men get shit for all the problems of society (even though we suffer from them too) and none of the credit for all the benefits. As to the pay gap, given that it's illegal to pay women less for the same job, can you give me some examples.
White male privilege might exist for Harvard graduates but for ordinary men they can have their home and children taken away from them on the event of a divorce, can be forced to fight in wars, are more likely to go to prison and the prisons are far more dangerous, are just as likely to be assaulted by their partner but are more likely to be arrested of they report it and are widely portrayed by the media as witless buffoons.
What privileged position does an ordinary white male occupy? There are plenty of poor white men and plenty of rich privileged white women. Not every white man is Donald Trump or Rupert Murdoch.
Every time I pass a white male homeless person (by far the majority of homeless people in my city) I tell him to check his privilege and they are most grateful for my concern about social justice and the oppression of rich white women.
So wildly successful and used for shifting trillions of dollars around? Java has very little in common with COBOL, except features that all languages have in common. What should they have used instead of Java? The memory leak brothers C and C++? Javascript? LISP? FORTRAN?
The reason why phone apps are popular is because they're a lot easier to use and a lot more functional than web apps. How do you query your device's hardware from a browser? How do you turn the flash on and off? How do you receive notifications? How do you interface with OS functionality? Given that every phone comes with a browser how are you isolated from the web? Phone apps fill a need that web apps will never be able to because you can't give a browser full access to your device.
I know. I use Agent Ransack now because I cannot figure out how to get Windows to do a text search that can find text I know is there. It doesn't do what it says it does. I understand there's some kind of arcane syntax but I've never been able to get that to work. Grep on Unix is far more user friendly.
Ah the good old days of DLL hell, deployment of updates taking hours or days instead of minutes, the upgrade treadmill, VB6 et al. What a joy it must've been.
That's replacing the PC. That's not replacing all the software and custom hardware, testing it, rolling it out, retraining, fixing unexpected issues and so on, and that's assuming that there is a Windows 7 version of everything.
The sheer amount of hardware and software that doesn't work with Windows 7 and therefore has to be replaced which isn't cheap for any reasonably sized organisation.
I have Visual Studio. It isn't any better for debugging JS and doesn't offer any facilities for experimenting with CSS. Stop making excuses for Microsoft and telling me what I'm "supposed" to do. If I'm "supposed" to use VS then why do MS provide dev tools at all?
I know plenty of tech illiterate people who can understand the concept of removable storage, whether that's a floppy disk, USB flash drive or micro SD. I know it's fashionable to pretend that virtually everyone but geeks is stupid but it's not the case.
Android users (most of whom aren't geeks) seem to be capable of understanding the concept and Samsung et al aren't getting the blame for fake cards as far as I know.
Most people know what an SD card is or are capable of understanding what one is. Making excuses for bad technical decisions by saying users are too stupid to understand a simple concept is a cop out.
Finally they have. Why Microsoft couldn't improve their dev tools without a browser update until version 11 is a mystery. I haven't mentioned Chrome so I'm not sure why you have.

Corporate intranets made in Visual Studio work fine in other browsers and have done for a long time. This isn't 2003.
Are you trying to pretend there are no white male homeless?
Every time I pass a white male homeless person (by far the majority of homeless people in my city) I tell him to check his privilege and they are most grateful for my concern about social justice and the oppression of rich white women.
Not really. It's not as terse as C but COBOL is in a class of its own with all the verbal diarrhoea.

Thanks that's very useful to know. This doesn't work for searching for text using a UNC though unfortunately.

It produces a small violin?
Why are you quoting the words of slave owners in an essay about freedom?
What walled garden does Google have?

Having to rewrite 4 decades worth of COBOL is also a prohibitive factor.
You gonna pay?

No, they made a terrible mistake by making it difficult and expensive to migrate away from XP.
And yet the only country in the developed world where mass shootings are a regular occurrence is the USA.
Or buy a Nexus phone.
