    Currently have mod points but can't find the -1 "Didn't RTFA" catagory. Hey, how do we suggest a legit enhancement?

  9. Re:Java vs. .Net on Java vs .NET · · Score: 1

    .NET can gain all the ground they want, as far is I'm concerned.
    When locked-in companies and locked-in clients are out-stripped by more portable and agile applications and environments, it will accelerate the migration to other platforms.

    As long as Microsoft keeps trying to shackle it's customers, the number of potential converts to alternative portable platforms will grow.

    The worst thing with even reading about ".NET" is the "period" part"period"
    "." means end of sentence or statement "period"
    so "comma" it makes each statement start with "NET""period""exclamation point""question mark"

    Explosives rely on the ratio of combustion, and the resultant production of expanding gases, to the failure rate of the container. When this is matched properly, even a small amount of combustable material can produce quite an effective "Pop".
