    They might not care, but the CEO saying "users have a good understanding of the volume of data Google collects on them" is wrong and misleading.

    Seriously? This is what makes this site different, read the +5 jokes, they're not mocking the guy or his family, they're about bringing a relaxed atmosphere to a dramatic subject. Typical SJW.

  10. Re:Schools lean towards Scratch for teaching kids on Is Visual Basic .NET More Popular Than JavaScript? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I haven't heard of any elementary schools using BASIC for years.

    I heard they switched to C++.

  11. PHP bashing on Is Visual Basic .NET More Popular Than JavaScript? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    At last, we talk about a language crappier than PHP

    Otherwise Justin Bieber would be the greatest musician that ever lived

    He is. To some people that are not you. Probably younger. They prefer to listen to J.B. than to J.Bach. This is what makes art, some indefinable qualities added to the technicalities.

  13. Education on Is Visual Basic .NET More Popular Than JavaScript? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe because schools think the Basic language is basic enough to be taught to kids?

    We can ask ourselves what a civilisation would see of our remains in 250 million years time

    There was a very very tiny chance of having an intelligent form of life on Earth in the beginning, there won't be another one.

    What's more hilarious is that Windows users have been able to download and run Chromium on their desktop for a long time. Most of them just didn't know the benefits of doing that.
