i take it you're trolling.
for the unlikely possibility that you aren't: you still don't know what a drive-by attack is, and your false sense of security is still there.
"They do not want people writing their own apps easily. It's not profitable to allow everyone to write their own custom apps."
Microsoft doesn't want that either - that's why they shipped BASIC. At best it creates the illusion of being able to do something useful with it. At worst it teaches bad habits which are near impossible to unlearn, rendering the masses incapable programming, long term.
unless 1% of all nuclear power plants *randomly blew up*, yes, it is IMO.
Also, yes i do imagine way more than 1% of cars would malfunction...when hit by earthquake and tsunami. Or in the process of safety-evaluation conducted by incompetent and miscommunicating operators who'd accidentally use humans instead of dummies for their crash tests, to stick to the given car analogy.
Asked the other way around, which plant did actually blew up out of nothing, with no human errors involved? (Building a plant like Daiichi next to a coastline is a human error too, at least if it does not provide some extra safety measures like a core catcher, for instance)
*cough* isn't it actually irrelevant whether they know, or do not know how long their tunnel is?
It's sufficient to compare the velocity of those neutrinos with that of a regular photon beam, in order to know the neutrinos are faster.
No, sir.
First of all, being able to draw lines/circles is in no way comparable to having some toolkit ready in order to build a GUI. Note this is not about coding widgets, but building GUIs out of ready-to-use widgets. However, irrelevant.
You seem to wrongly assume the inverse of my statement would also hold, which is definitely not true, i.e. by saying 'Beginners shouldn't start with creating GUIs', I in no way say that advanced programmers should. Generally, it is *always* a failure to design something to be GUI based from the beginning.
Unfortunately, Windows does in no way encourage people to separate front- and backends, worse, it makes it look like that wouldn't make sense at all.
That is what leads people to the terribly invalid assumption that the CLI would be inferior, or obsolete, like you implied in your comment (since you mention windows as if there was nothing else, (or as if it was a meaningful reference at all) i assume you're exclusively using windows).
Look at four decades of unix history, if you want some confirmation that it is still perfectly valid, and usually the best way to go, to write programs according to the filter pattern, as mentioned in this beautiful book http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch11s06.html

Cool, and how does this protect you from drive-by attacks?
A false sense of security, that is.
yeah... one.
sucks to be you
exceptionally hot and sunny the last two days..

FTFY
And you're obviously not aware of the various ways your system can be infected. Drive-by attacks come into mind.

Cool straw-man, bro.
I feel a strange need to facepalm at this point.
Would mod you up if i had the points. Do one thing - and do it well. If only more programs would stick to that philosophy...
yeah, so antisocial not to hand over all data to facebook.
oh i should have...
Sending money? Who the heck cares about sending money?
If facebook wants me to register, they better add an app for receiving money.
from the new-study-finds-already-known-stuff dept.
or is this really news to anyone?
...and not a single fsck was given on that day.
...to have all those iMorons leave off into their separate net?
Standards are to be praised for that, not Microsoft, you moron.
(I am a FreeBSD user... I do not share your pain)

And who said life was exceedingly rare? Bear in mind that distances in our universe are exceedingly large.

Beginners should not start with creating GUIs in the first place. (Neither did early BASICs support such a thing)
