I think anonymity on the Internet has to go away. People behave a lot better when they have their real names down. I think people hide behind anonymity and they feel like they can say whatever they want behind closed doors.
Fuck you, you and your slightly less retarded brother, with a wrench rammed between your assholes.
Seriously? "I'm better than you at everything, go die in a fire"?
I'm glad you're working in a field that I'll probably never land in. Thanks for reminding me how non-shitty my coworkers are.
My co-workers are decent, talented and responsible people, who, like myself, do all kinds of work that provides something useful to other people. I respect that, and I would never wish them to die in a fire.
On the other hand, scumbags draining the wealth of everyone on Earth by exploiting loopholes in financial systems that would've been closed if those scumbags weren't in control of the rules governing such systems... They and their minions have no good reason to be alive.
I don't understand why public figures are supposed to be protected against any kind of accusations. Their actions are not private, they affect large numbers of people. Interests of those people, and imbalance of power that makes it possible to inflict harm on the population, leave absolutely no reason, other than public interest itself, to protect a public figure from accusations or criticism.
Which used science and mathematics developed in the Middle East while some European assholes were trying to "liberate" a fictional relic from there. Let's all pay tribute to Arabs for Al Jabr (Algebra)! In its turn, it used foundation of the same developed by ancient Greeks while some other assholes were busy annexing them to their empire. This means, we should immediately restore the practice of slavery. I am sure, Egyptians had some say in this, too -- so hail Pharaoh!
In reality, I am a part of unbroken chain of scientific and engineering development that goes for thousands of years into the past and likely will continue indefinitely into the future. It survived all known and forgotten forms of social, political and economic systems. Sure as Hell, it will survive a giant Ponzi scheme that is current version of Capitalism as implemented in US.
The FPGA's you use are made by publicly-traded companies (XLNX and whatever the ticker is for altera ). If there were no stock market, no chipmaker would have the capital to build a billion-dollar plus foundry. If you've ever used a Tektronix scope, an amphenol or molex, connector, or copper wire, it was an equity market or commodities market that made it possible.
s/stock market/slavery/g , and it would sound like a perfectly valid argument when slavery was the dominant way of running the economy.

Oh, that's simple. The other party may be based on less backward ideology, but it is just as corrupt, and full of cowards and idiots.
If he adds liquidity to the market, then you save money every time you buy or sell stock (or your 401k/mutual funds do).
Thanks to people like him, I don't have stocks or 401(k) anymore.
Oh, and you follow it up with another stunning display when you criticize him for not using his real name and then you wish him death in the very next sentence. Wow.
I do not expect people to wish me death for what I do. He does, or at least should.
I am most likely better than you at each and every aspect of software (and HDL) development you have mentioned. Except, of course, "debugging in minutes" -- that kind of irresponsibility would get me fired. I also have to work long hours, and have to have clear understanding of complex issues unrelated to software.
Except I do embedded software and FPGA development for professional audio equipment. Each device I worked on, each firmware release, each line of code, does something useful for many, many people. Some of those people don't even know that audio equipment, leave alone software, is involved with what they are hearing. Large fraction of my work ends up being free/open source, too -- platform, drivers, etc.
I also don't have any problems with posting here under my real name. Or with telling you, and people like you, to die in a fire.
There is already no profit in cancer cure, as it would be immoral to refuse it to sick people, and people who develop it can not possibly collect enough money from the sick to cover their expenses. This is why it can be only developed in government-run or government-sponsored programs -- and we should better get accustomed to it.
I see, you have swallowed "fighting is bad, don't ever resist anything no matter how abhorrent and dangerous" propaganda talking point.
Hatred is what motivates people to resist and fight their enemies. The only reason why Microsoft did not turn every person on Earth into a compliant moron happily clicking through Microsoft-approved GUI-assisted thinking patterns, is hatred that Microsoft inspired in every intelligent person involved in software development. This hatred is the reason why mankind still has a chance for survival. Be thankful, you ingrate, for me to carry a part of this hatred.
Yer, only if the specification is perfect. Which it never is.
Only when Microsoft is involved. Network protocols and file formats, and even Unixlike IPC-based interfaces exist for decades, with implementations doing exactly what the standard says.
NDISwrapper at best qualifies as a semi-usable workaround, and is probably the best illustration of my point -- publishing API for something that is still tied to proprietary environment, is insufficient. In that particular case, power management and interaction with ACPI was mostly to blame, however ACPI is supposedly "open", too.
It doesn't. You can take a published API, and provide your own clean-room implementation of the same -
I am describing normal use, not reimplementation. Reimplementation of a product made by a large company is usually a massive, rarely successful effort, prompted by the company being negligent or outright malicious with the product development, use or licensing.
see.NET/Mono.
Mono is a failed reimplementation of a useless product. The only successful reimplementation of a proprietary API (as opposed to protocols/formats) that I have ever seen is Lesstif, and arguably more good was done by destroying Motif dominance by superior toolkits than by reimplementing it.
Microsoft, as usual, is trying to conflate "published protocol" (an interface that can be used by independently developed software that may share no components with software providing interface) and "published API" (an interface that requires direct use of software providing the interface within common framework such as libraries, plugins, compilers' handling of interface definitions, etc.)
Shut up, Microsoft. Nothing short of published, open protocol is going to suffice. And none of your products will survive if you won't hide and obfuscate protocols used by them. You know that and we know that, so don't pretend that you are not our enemies.

OMG ya think? Who else has the ability to put something this massive together?
Me?
Moar liek praising with faint criticism. Oracle has many flaws but its manageability is reasonably tied to the complexity of setup being managed.
It is slander (or, more precisely, libel) if the site implies that a person is being "shamed" for being arrested, and yet the person is innocent.
When earthquakes happen, most people don't die, either, however it's not a good reason against earthquake-proofing buildings.

What about it? He is a loathsome being that causes harm to other people, there is nothing wrong with wishing him to die in a fire.

The device I am currently working on, has 6 CPUs (4 of them are microcontrollers though) and 2 network interfaces. And plenty of other components.

I have never yet seen a commercial software firm officially support their product under both .NET and Mono.
Fogbugz does that. Not to say that Fogbugz is a good product or that Joel is not an idiot for choosing .NET as the platform for it.

People like you will always deride anything MS does because
...because Microsoft is inherently evil. Everything that defines Microsoft as Microsoft -- its goals, methods, tradition and people are evil.
if you didn't have MS as your enemy you wouldn't have anyone to hate on.
I don't see how not having anyone to hate would be a bad thing.

And none of that is actually useful for interoperability or reimplementation.
It's called "published API".
