    You're right, there is no guarantee. If only we could make our applications accessible via the web, so a user could access them using only their browser... oh wait. Now if only all of those browsers followed standards...

    why do you need MS support for an app written inhouse in .NET FW 4.0?

    What are you gonna ask, how to code it?

    I think the more important thing is that it CAN run nowadays. How often this is used is another story.

    Also, who supports Java? :)

    My main point is that using the 3rd party framework means you have to hire a maintainer w that skillset, typically for more $ than a core Java developer. I agree that the reason anybody uses it is because it improves the Java framework, however I've worked a bunch with various 3rd party frameworks and most owners of those applications aren't appreciative of them in the long run due to maintenance costs and sometimes even difficulty of making changes.

    Actually, they're using them as templates, so they're not using them directly.

    I thought so... the build environment does affect the final hash. However, thinking about this logically most places you can get the source code and executable from the same place... and if the executable matches... how paranoid can you be?

    If you're getting the alleged source code to Windows 9 from some guy in Nigeria though, set your expectations accordingly.

    The file menu on Visual Studio is better than Eclipse's UI design & features as a whole. Imho, the languages are both entirely OOP based and are very similar in syntax and functionality.

  13. Re:Why not? on FBI Admits To Domestic Surveillance Drone Use · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's a well known fact that crime is a sign of society's shortfalls. Most people commit crime for a reason, few do it for the thrill (there's some). Now, building drones costs money, wouldn't that money be better spent fixing society's ills. There is no need for the government to watch us. They need to work on making us as great a society as possible and fixing problems (seems we need to watch them though.. drones all around the whitehouse!). These drone would just focus more on catching criminals then fixing whatever drove the person to commit the crime. Everybody should be able to see how this drones to catch criminals approach can quickly spiral out of control.

    Also, LEO's aren't your friend, they'll do anything to get a conviction and advance their career, some are good, but most don't have a working sense of justice. Even google is more of a friend to you.

    RTFA dude...

    He got convicted then APPEALED based on himself going silent. Basically a legal play. A witness and shotgun shells got him convicted. Also, it's pretty obvious he's guilty of murder. He DID NOT get convicted for not answering a question.
