Im often ammused at people who seem to think vi and grep etc is all they need for programming.
Then continue to be amazed, because every programmer--since, I think we're human--has a different frame of mind on how to approach programming. Count me as a person who sticks with Vi and grep, not because I'm stuck-up or stupid, but because that's how I work.
Pretty much 100% of the time these people have never tried VS, and it shows.
I have. Have you tried Vi?
Being able to use tab completion, seeing all members of a class/struct as you type
Be sure to check out this for additional perspective. See, there's this little thing called "tags" or ctags that's been around a lot longer than VS.
little wavy lines under invalid variables (with addins)
Even in Microsoft Office, I turn off the automatic spell check--what a blinding mess. Besides, if you're writing C, the compiler will help. If it's a loosely-typed language, then hats off to VS if it can make this determination.
being able to just place a breakpoint anywhere in their code as they are typing
In my opinion, there is a design problem or a gross misunderstanding if this approach is used at the get-go. But, whatever floats your boat.
the little things that they are continuing to add are so minor it is clear they are nearing perfection.
There is no Utopian software. Repeat that ten times. But, besides that, I'm happy that it's working out great for you!
And when debugging, you can drag the current execution spot up a few lines, change some code, then let it run over the spot again without re-compiling or restarting the process!
gdb. ddd if you need "visualization"....an environment that is very highly unlikely to be replicated under a free OS...
Again, it's neat that it works for you. And, yes, we do try these tools.
The difference here is that you'll be able to *check* that list and make sure--unlike the other product comparison charts we normally encounter, in, say, a PC Magazine advertisement. Not sure I have see any requirement that you have to be friendly towards other distros. Debian people sure ain't and neither are much of the rest.
Their use will be outlawed in most countries and states within a few years because of studies that show you drive like a drunk watching the thing the whole time.
I confer with this conclusion. OO.org is bad at stealing away the associations of files, i thought it was the battle of RealPlayer and Windows Media Player all over again. Because of this, occasionally my Word documents are loaded by oowriter. Once I figure out the computer isn't showing anything about 5+ seconds, I know where it's going. So, I immediately right-click the file and send it over to Crossover Office. At this point, Crossover Word *still* comes up faster than OO.org. I hope for the best on OO.org; but, you definitely get what you pay for.
We at Sol Incorporated take pride in our unique photon creation process. This process has been patented for over 4.6 billion years, just prior to when our super photon generator went into production.
We call on you to cease and desist in claiming photons you emit are yours; we do so under the provisions of the DMCA. We ask that back damages be payed in full at 2 RMB per photon.
I like this comment. Is the observation that if the margins and cost of product are driven down, that means the market could actually grow for the product given a good marketing approach and consumer demand, a correct assumption? And would it therefore improve the possibility of doing 30 times the business.
I don't see why you are comparing slashdot.org and linux today. To me, these are two different sites with two different foci. In other words, Linux Today is about Linux; whereas, slashdot is about technology, nerd news in all forms including Microsoft.
Having Microsoft ads on slashdot makes sense. Having MS ads on Linux Today does not make sense. It would be equivalent to the Ford Motor website running Toyota advertisements just to get click revenue.
We understand it's "not your fault". But, who cares?! It's not like the lynch mob is coming slashdot's way anytime soon; because, like I said, MS ads here make sense because there's an audience. On Linux Today, MS ads mean only one thing: switch away.
Because Sun is a fairly large company with a fairly widely used product and they're actually *considering* the possibility of open-sourcing that product, whereas before everyone thought it was some lone ranger rant by ESR. Besides, Sun is the only entity on the planet with the rights to make this decision.
On the other hand, no one knows who you are, no one cares if you make money, everyone has a playstation, and most people know how to play it.
Wonder if they'll move to an Onslaught-type map that ut2k4 uses. The vehicle movement ain't simulation level of complexity, but it sure is fun.
The gov't should get an RS6000 running the Unreal Engine with an "army" of clients connected playing on a huge map from GIS info. Maybe of Mogadishu or Falujah...
This comment applies to Taiwan as well, although they're a bit more conservative here than the Japanese. BTW, Taiwan has the greatest cell phone use per capita than any other country in the world. And, yes, it does have to do with a small area to implement the network in.

I certainly wouldn't be here whining on Slashdot about it.
Looks like you are anyway...
Thoughts? Done.
A little cynical aren't we?

You've never wrote a published article before, have you?
Wha .. Wha? My HDTV isn't letting anything through, what are we talking about? It says to click "Yes" and not worry about it ... is this okay?

give me a Ringworld instead
How about Waterworld? We can build a great big dam and create people with webbed feet.
When will they address the age-old Chewbacca defense?
Not really, I just "clicked" all those in with the left button on a mouse.

Does that help put things in perspective?
No, dragging down on the copy box in an Excel spreadsheet returns:

Mono Beta 2
Stereo VHS 3
Dolby Surround DVD 4

Well, he gets the blame for everything, why not the credit?

So, you're saying not everyone agrees with MoveOn.org and people actually support the war in Iraq? Who wudda thunk...
Every time there is another way to solve a problem, we all benefit.
As long as the "way" doesn't involve lawyers, this statement is true.
Because the word "diesel" is on the banned liberal wordlist. Check with your local Moore-ite for more details.

It's too bad RedHat won't do something similar.
It's too bad they don't have $40 billion in pure cash and still layoff their workers.
Hmm.. I was thinking this is more like a Michael Moore Documentary, and some PR stunt from our friends at MoveOn.org.
