Nah epervius, let the US subsidize all their jobs, then we can all move there and earn money doing F'all!
I think its ironic that Russia is becoming capitalistic and the USA is becoming communist.
This is not a disney movie America, free trade means people will loose jobs in the US, because that is where the imbalance is. Do you seriously think that the US is rich because Americans are more intelligent?!?
I'm going to stop here before it turns into a rant.

I watched Powaqatsi a while back, completely straight. It had a big impact on me, I have no idea what the film was trying to potray and don't care, what struck me was the contrast betwean first and third world (especialy being in the eighties). It ledt me with the feeling that modernization/industrialization or whatever drives it is like a parasite on our subconcious.
I feel like a crack whore wokring in technology - love it, can't get out. OK, maybe just a karma whore:
There is a company in South Africa that does this using the WIG browser on your cell (or WIB or whatever its called). Needs a buy in with the provider and the bank (of course) - get your provider on to them.
We've written a few apps that are in pilot at the moment for data capture on the palm. We started out using sun's J2ME, but found a few problems in the way it makes network connections and re-wrote our network app in IBM's J9, which allowed us access to the OS calls and is fast. Trouble is you have to use objects called 'Int16Ptr' and 'var.getShortAt(0)', which reminded me of a language I used to use.
I thought of using C++ and kinda looked forward to get back into it, but the trouble I didn't enjoy the prospect of writting double the code and having to do triple the debugging.
The thing with Java is you can develop faster, there is less debugging and you can share code accross platforms as long as its not GUI specific etc.
Another delight was playing around on a wince device but needing to copy code accross from a linux box, we synched a hacked java ftp server accross using a MS box and could then ftp to the device via linux.
There is a problem with spead, but it means you need to be creative and it really depends on who is going to use the app, our users have never touched a computer and don't have a spead expectation, its still a lot faster than all the paper work they would have to do.
If you follow an aggressive marketing strategy similar to Microsoft and wish to produce comercial software, you will find that Microsoft is your competitor.
As soon as you produce a killer app, Microsoft will put you out of business. So why support them in any way by using their tools?
We (the developers) have been pushing linux for a year now and use linux for our desktops/servers (java/mobile/web stuff). The rest looked down their noses at us, then along comes mircosoft with audits and gee, all of a sudden the md has redhat on his laptop! He does complain about document formatting, but its not a big deal, people seem to be moving to.pdf documents, be interested to see a survey..
If the distributers of linux don't takes advantage of this opertunity RIGHT NOW, it would be business suicide, because, ah, commercial OS manufacturers are going to spread a LOT of FUD to keep the market in check (watch this space).
My first computer course was on an XT running on DOS and was the basics - wordprocessing spreadsheets etc..
One of our tests was to set up a spreadsheat on AsEasy (as easy as 1-2-3 gettit?), managed to complete the test before time and a freand asked to see my work, well, it wasn't a serious asignment and we were supposed to leave the finished sheat on the screen, if he wanted to go through it, so what. Turns out he copied it, miss-spelling and all (yup, my spelling is creative).
Next class we were call in by the lecturer, and we were both accused of cheeting as the lecturer couldn't tell who had done the original. Luckily the lecturer was a practical man and could see my genius over the other dunce.. well it wasn't a serious test as I've said, but I've been a bit more carefull about my work since.
I couldn't care less if people copy my stuff, as long as I have proof that it was myne to begin with, but I suppose that's what copyrights about?
Or is it about making money?
Well, Thawte was a South African company until being bought by verisign. I guess you set your price at what the market can carry. Certificates are way overpriced for me in South Africa. It is trivial to start up a CA, i mean the technical side, but you need to get the CA certs into the popular browsers before people will trust it.
Although, if you had a link on your site telling people to download your CA cert before going to the order page, they probably would. most people just see windows popping up and are just interested in getting through the maze.

hmm, but tell me, do educated flees do it?
Is it just me, or did anybody else consider the implications of living in Somalia?
Down blackhawk, bad boy
MS may not be 'inherenty bad', but what they do makes me feel 'icky'. I don't like it and don't have to take it.
MS playfully experimenting with new technologies? No, don't think so!

The IDE is not that great, I would have expected more.

Multi-language project???? Hello! My team is trying agree on where to position the curly braces and you want them to program in different languages??
Nice OO library? "Come back swing all is forgiven"
MVC sites are the vogue in most languages at the moment, whats special about ASP.net?
WinForms? Well, OK, that sounds interesting, never looked at it.
>Of course you do have web services, easy SOAP libraries, really nice XML support, remoting and other funky stuff.
Oh my! Funky remoting!!
This belongs in the wrap-your-women-in-cloth bin.

From what I understand, Microsoft is buying into it as well?!?

I don't give a damn about the little guy with the killer app, I will be bigger than microsoft, they are the competition. wheres the pine?

kind of frightening how microsoft is pushing .NET as developer candy?
