.NET CF is already monolithic and bloated at version 0.9. J2ME is tiny and modular.
Care to back that up with some numbers Mr. Anonymous? The.NET CF runtime will be around 1mb for its final release. And will support most of the functionality of the.NET framework on the desktop.
OSS users are becoming as ignorant as the people they hate for not using OSS.
Yeah it's SOOOO hard to run the MS Security Baseline Analyzer - which tells you what you do and do not have installed as far as patches are concerned. Being ignorant is not an excuse.

I know that we're all geeks here, and that we tend to be idealistic, but you have to realize, companies do not make money by being 'nice guys', just like most guys don't get laid by being nice guys. Business is war. A business partner is nothing more than an ally, you need to keep a sharp eye on them to keep them in check. And on the flipside, if switching partners is benificial to your company but destroys another partner, any company will do it. A business's responsibility is to its stockholders, not its customers, not its partners or anyone else for that matter. Sure, they try to make themselves look good in varying degrees for PR reasons, but in the end, the shareholders' interests & goals are king. And that goal is profit.
J2EE developers are still being hired (hear that unemployed CS people?)...
You're making a fairly large assumption aren't you? - that they're being hired only because they know J2EE technology. I think not. J2EE developers are usually experienced (if not 'software architects' - whatever that means) and that's why they are still being hired. Anyone with 3+ years experience can find a job fairly easily.
Definitely not. This goes beyond geeky. It's beyond weird even. And definitely a complete waste of time. Why this was posted as a/. story is beyond me.

They want us to boycott CDs in the long-run. If they come out with some new format (which a few have already) and the CD format is 'failing', they can use that as a justification to phase it out. "Oh, we're only releasing N'Stinks album on SuperAudio because nobody is buying CDs anymore." It's a win-win situation for them in the long run if they can weather the transition financially.
This is not a troll - this is an honest question/concern that I've had for quite a while regarding OSS: So if the world's problems can (and eventually generally are) solved using free software - what are developers to do for a living? It just seems like OSS developeres are shooting themselves (and the rest of us) in the foot. And you can talk about consulting, yada yada, but I don't think there's enough work out there for all the good developers out there to do consulting work.
well,/. readers' ignorance continues to amaze me. That error is a generic page that comes up when an asp.net application hits a runtime error (including more connections that it can handle (i.e. operation time-outs)) - it's the responsibility of the developer to either provide error handling/messages or turn custom error messages off - do you ever really want an end user to see and ugly exception dump? That's all this page does - stops from displaying this information unless you're on the host machine doing testing. Alternatively you can turn that off and show all errors.
