Perhaps it's because your president currently has something like 90% approval rating, thus we infer that 90% of the population agree with the actions of their government?
I haven't used the tools (and really don't want to) but how do you debug anything more complicated than "Hello World" without Visual Studio?
They've had a command line compiler for years, but it has so many switches that Visual Studio was a godsend. I think giving away the command line tools is a publicity stunt.
That's 'cos the entire VB documentation staff quit before the product was released. The documentation for the dictionary object springs to mind.
"A dictionary is an associative array". If you don't know what that is, you're SOL. And most VB programmers don't.
VB 6 was useless without a subscription to VB Programmer's Journal, whose publishers happened to recieve a 10 million dollar investment from Microsoft.
Silly moderators! First of all, the link is bad. Here's a link that works. Second, it ain't free. Check the link. It's only free if you already own Visual Studio. (But you can download it with out registering. Silly Microsoft!)
Third, IIRC, Enterprise Manager will work with it, but it doesn't come with Enterprise Manager, so if you don't already have access to the tools, you're screwed.
And why do you want to use a DBMS that loses nuclear waste material, anyway?
But now Apple seems to have learned their lesson. All of the dev tools for OS X are free for the asking, as is the documentation. And ProjectBuilder and Interface builder are good tools, too.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has gotten greeder, charging upwards of $1500 for Visual Studio, which is your only choice now. That's a far cry from $99 for Visual Basic 1.0 or Visual C++ 1.0.
AOL must do whatever is best for it's shareholders. Period. Same with Microsoft.
What, like pay dividends? Microsoft is notorious for not paying dividends, instead hoarding the cash. There is now talk of legal action to get Microsoft to change their ways, as well as rumors of Enron-like accounting practices. Microsoft stock price has been stagnant for three years, and they've never paid dividends, so I doubt they're doing what's best for their shareholders. Except for Bill and Steve, of course.
For one thing it's rather difficult for a US'er to get a work permit.
Not necessarily. The TN-1 (Nafta) visa is relatively easy to obtain and renew. They expire on an annual basis, but can be renewed indefinitely. I worked in the States for three years on a TN-1 and it was a piece of cake. It's the same for americans working in Canada.
That's the Desk Rover. There's a link above to ThinkGeek, but they don't have the camera. Here's the link to the manufacturer and you might want to try a Google search.
(although I'd love to find a good J2EE weblog that was as "pretty" as the Nuke's).
I've been thinking the same thing. An MVC design using JSP and Servlets should be a decent design/coding project. Something like those high-end Content Management systems.
Wanna try?

The bulk of their argument is that legality equals morality, which any freethinking individual probably realizes isn't true... or else laws would never be repealed or changed.
Beautiful, you nailed it right there. Prohibition is the most obvious example of this, and I like using speeding. Has anyone ever felt guilty for getting a speeding ticket?
The software publishers are trying to take the moral high ground with copyright, which is a completely artifical construct.
Yeah, (sigh). I just moved back to Canada, after living in the States for three years. I'm still in CN withdrawl. YTV has Gundam Wing, Teletoon has zip.
On the bright side, Gundam 0083 is on DVD, Pilot Candidate reportedly sucks, and Yu Yu Hakusho is from Funimation (not Bandai), say no more.
And YTV ran all of Escaflowne, Teletoon ran all of Cyber 6, while Fox axed both of them real quick. It's not all bad here.
Name dropping time: I knew him, years ago, when he lived in Waterloo (ON). He was my friend's martial arts partner (although why someone his size needed martial arts, I'll never know). He also supplied the anime for the local SF con they had every summer. Interesting guy.
Either your memory is scrambled, or you're just B.S. -ing. There was no version 4.2. Look here for version info.
DOS 5.0 was a rebuild. The project was lead by Gordon Letwin, the original OS/2 architect. 4.0/4.1 was a major disaster, and 5.0 was the recovery attempt.
Cool. For all the trolls wanting the source code, Schulman sells a program called Windows Source, that "Turns Windows and OS/2 files into source code". Knock yourselves out, guys.
No it's not. The tree branched after 3.3. IBM PC-DOS 4.0 and MS-DOS 4.0 were different animals, based on the same code tree. The differences became more pronouced as the trees separated.
(And hopefully Gates will be caught by the backblast).

Um- that's actually Capt. Ahab, from Moby Dick

Khan was a plagarist
Yeah, this one ain't working, see how my parent post got modded up to +5(funny). Maybe I should try being duller.
Yah. I was thinking I could do the same thing with a wireless hub and a stuffed bunny (anntenne in the ears).
Vaporware? On Linux only?

Uh huh. Until you try to run your spiffy new .Net app on Mac OS 9, OS X, Solaris, Linux, or BSD.
Lots of dubbing is done outside of SAG control. The actors use aliases to get around the SAG.
That said, I think there's a little weasel that Taco would be perfect for.

I was going to go for a rabit/antelope combo...
How about a basselope instead?
I don't know; didn't Malda start Slash by himself?
Anyway, Struts seems like a good idea, both you and joib suggested it. I'll look into Struts, and maybe I'll start something on Sourceforge.
