But Facebook does the opposite -- it even lies to the users. For example, if someone is blocked, and tries to look up the user who blocked him while logged in, Facebook will pretend that profile does not exist. Log out, and profile of blocking user is clearly visible again.
There are plenty of legitimate reasons to only use compiled (or only interpreted) languages for a particular project. "So we can distribute it commercially" is not among them -- my point stands.
The whole point is, there is nothing to compromise. At worst, someone can steal someone else's tokens. If system is run by complete and total morons (such as yourself or Sony admins), the key may be compromised, so some asshole's fake tokens will work until the end of the month when the key will be changed.
How so? The system only recognizes tokens that it issued and signed (so client can't produce its own tokens), and the token can be used only once (so copying tokens does not allow multiple toll passes).
You don't have to track prepaid tags that simply transmit tokens until they run out of tokens -- you just keep track which tokens you have heard and only accept new ones. Tokens then may be randomly loaded when payment is made, without any need for association with any particular person or vehicle.
.NET is also useful for incompetent developers who spends weeks writing trivial wrappers over code written by competent developers in C and C++, despite competent developers being able to write better GUI in Qt spending mere hours of additional development time.
A system of interconnected networks is called an internet, and there can be multiple independent internets.
The Internet is the largest internet currently available all over the globe (one you are using when reading this). That network is unique, and therefore there can't be multiple Internets (capital 'I').
So now we should expect all vertical surfaces around US cities to be again covered with ads implying (but never stating directly) that Windows phones are UMPCs, so they will run all Windows applications? Last time around I couldn't board a subway without that infuriating crap being shoved in my face at every station!
Originally "middle class" was supposed to be people who rely on property they own to be able to support themselves, however do not exert noticeable control over others' ability to do so. An owner of small or family business would be a typical example of this -- he has to own some means of production to be able to produce something, yet such ownership alone does not place him in position of control over workers' ability to be productive just because they lack those means themselves. This places them between workers (who support themselves entirely by their labor and do not use their property to perform that labor) and capitalists (who support themselves through ownership and control over means of production, thus controlling workers' ability to perform their work).
By this definition a majority of population (myself included) is in the "worker" category.
Who told you that it failed, your friendly propaganda workers? USSR sustained itself for seven decades and was dissolved by three politicians for reasons that had absolutely nothing to do with economy. Economy of ex-USSR countries went sharply downhill after dissolution -- to a great surprise of politicians who bought this "everything is better with Capitalism" myth.
That's all you have found with your mad Googling skills -- a bug report that states that old Nvidia drivers no longer work, and Nvidia is trying to fix it?
or just cut my losses and go back to Windows.
Please do! And tell us how current version of Windows will work with those ancient drivers on that "your" laptop.

I am sure, plenty of Slashdot posters at some point promised to host someone else's perl scripts and were paid for it.
But Facebook does the opposite -- it even lies to the users. For example, if someone is blocked, and tries to look up the user who blocked him while logged in, Facebook will pretend that profile does not exist. Log out, and profile of blocking user is clearly visible again.
I consider this as a serious insult to the user.

I wish they were all this stupid.
Correction: anyone who learned .Net in order to get job security should die in a fire.
You must be an extremely shitty programmer if you need a "compiled language" just to make sure you can distribute your "projects" commercially.
.NET is also useful for incompetent developers who spends weeks writing trivial wrappers over code written by competent developers in C and C++, despite competent developers being able to write better GUI in Qt spending mere hours of additional development time.
FTFY.
Teenage hackers with paedophile ascendancies
And how is THAT supposed to work?!
especially things that are arbitrary and belonging to conventional power structures
Like what, Habbo Hotel?

No, that's just a proton missing.
The attitude toward porn in US is certainly lulzworthy.

Just issue SIGSTOP to the parent processes that don't ignore SIGCHLD, and once child processes exit, you have zombies!
Application rejected: you are Guy Fawkes.

Actually Windows doesn't do any of that. You download driver from Nvidia, then it breaks, just like everywhere else.
A much better headline.
It's their Libertarian Repellent Program.
And how much of this "demand" is actually "HAALP! Some consultant built us a massive Sharepoint-based solution, and it does not fucking work!"?
