Sorry, as a Linux user and developer I tend to associate C/C++ development to stuff like Emacs or Qt Creator (I know, it's pure fanboism). The thing is that.NET platform and Visual Studio are very tightly integrated. VS provides the developer with tools that no other IDE provides (and I doubt they will ever do) to the point that I think that there are things that you can't do if it's not using VS, or at least not in a reasonable time frame. And it's not a rant against Microsoft because I've seen it in Java too. I'm not saying that's good or bad, I'm just stating that in modern IDEs you get to lose the control over your code sometimes and you are right, the complexity of the frameworks is also a reason for that.
Obviously I'm not talking about C++ development..NET development tools in VS ease significantly programmer's life, but there are a lot of things underneath you don't see.
The problem I see with IDEs like VS is that the hide a lot of complexity to programmers, which is good to boost your productivity, but the fact that you don't really know what's going on inside can back-fire if you are starting as a programmer. I've always thought that it's a good thing to do low level tasks at the beginning so you can build yourself up and don't depend on a specific tool.
The user base is significant (and the private information that comes with it) but I agree that there's a tech bubble many times bigger than the 98's. I wonder how much will the big investors get out of it before it bursts.
Was it a poem?:D Well, on a serious note, it's kind of what Microsoft did back in the day (and still does somehow), or even Borland. It's a good strategy. In my company, we use CentOS for testing purposes, but in actual deployments we recommend our customers to get RHEL and buy support from the original developers of all the other open source components we use, if it applies.
15 years ago, it was [kind of] cool to play around with config files, compile kernels and install different Linux distros the way women change their purses. Now we have other priorities in life, kids, pets, mortgages. We just want to get the job done. Sometimes I enjoy hacking some config files for fun, but it's not anymore something I'd do on a Friday night.
Yep, and that will void the warranty (won't it?). And another thing (and this is purely out of ignorance), doesn't the car owner need a [paid] data plan to send this information back to Ford?
When the Chinese realize that the US and Europe are slowing down by their own choice and they don't need to do anything to catch up, they will stop this "race" and settle for keeping a nice, well armed army.
I refuse to think that RH is into it, but to my paranoid mind, this sounds like a weird variant of the well known MS strategy. I really hope I'm wrong.
Linda wants to know: do you want to be able to see hardcore pornography? How about information on illegal drugs? Or gay sex, or abortion? Your call may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes. How about obscene and tasteless material? Would you like to see that? Speak up, Linda can't hear you
I suddenly felt like if I was reading a Chuck Palahniuk's book
Critics about why this got posted aside, I use NetworkLog (formerly IPTablesLog) to check what's the traffic generated by my installed applications from time to time (and send the one I don't trust to 127.0.0.1 in the/etc/hosts or block it via a firewall). There's also another application for network troubleshooting on SourceForge, but I haven't tested it.
You're missing the point. The stock market is a huge casino. You don't invest because you think the investment is safe, but because you could potentially get as much money as possible in a short period of time. Making a long/mid term investment in a dot-com is kind of crazy talk.
I know this is not your point, but why would you have 6 terminals open, if you can have only one gnome-terminal window and 6 tabs in it? Sorry for nitpicking:P

I'd buy it.... as soon as it's supported by Cyanogenmod.

He he, you reminded me of this .

Turns out that I'm an amateur gardener myself, and found useful information in that site :)
And the Vikings used to make great ships, you know.

For all of those bitching about Mint based on Ubuntu, just use the Debian-based version: It is rock solid and works like a charm.
