I doubt things are very much different. Unless you are trying to say Asians don't give a crap about their work? This isn't about some guy on the cover of Time magazine. It's about the guy that says, man I got this great idea and I want to do whatever it take to see it get done. Sure there are tons of folks who punch the clock and do good work. But if you love what you do then the enthusiasm to really champion your ideas is a natural outcome. I I happen to think it's a universal concept.
Apparently you hatred of BG is too great for you to actually read the article and understand my point. The person in question was proposing a project to BG and was pressured to defend his idea. As a senior manage, how would you gage the commitment of someone proposing spending the companies resources? A weakly backed idea, even if it has merit, is virtually worthless unless some is willing to totally commit to getting it done.
It's not a matter of credit. It's a mater of vision. Most folks aren't capable of/willing to look down the road two miles, envision what need to be done and making a map to get there without getting lost. Even in the US we never know the names of the visionary but if you work on teams long enough you realize how things happen. You need a rudder.
Whatever you choose to believe from your limited insights in MS or any other company's management, in the end there has to be that person who has the balls to have a vision and follow through with it. It's also true that is is very difficult to be an effective leader and be liked by all the folks working for you. Few people like having to answer to authority, be held accountable for their actions or do what it takes to get the job done - no matter what.
The most important thing to have for any project is a CHAMPION. So if you aren't ready to champion your own idea then you are wasting everybody's time.
So,you work for a salary? Paid for by collecting taxes from companies and people earning a profit? Or donations? And does your government give away the results of your research? Dude, wake up.
Wow, thought I was the only person who understands what I'm taking about. There sure are a lot of indicators pointing to the spread of socialism. The "stick it to the man" attitudes are absolutely surreal. And you never hear someone countering this stuff in the press. Heck,the press is making Chavez out to be a "hero of the people". Crazy.
Brazil, Thailand, Venezuela...you take away the incentive to to research for a profit and you take away the reason to do it at all. If those socialists really wanted to do it right they could at least have their own government subsidize the drug costs.
You make your own luck. This is the exact reason why social support systems fail. Without a real challenge you seldom have the motivation to innovate or take risks. This guy had to fall to the bottom rung to finally wake up. I see far to many kids graduating from college thinking the hard work is done. At that point,at most, they have bought a ticket to a tougher game.
Thanks for the non-answer. I also uses (professionally) C, C++, PHP, ARTEMIS 9000EX,and a host of other stuff and I still don't know what you mean. I guess you object to abstraction and you would rather poke your way around with proprietary hardware calls.
Stop blaming the guns. Or are you advocating "censorship" of eBay based on one person's slanted view of the constitution? People kill people. Guns are just one tool for doing it.
Java sucks, pure and simple. C# is a JOY compared to Java. And yeah, I program in Java at work 90% of the time. If C# would have made it here sooner they would have chosen that language for sure.

Well, someone needs to clean the toilets.

Riiiight. You really need to get out more.

AOL management must make the same assumptions about AOL hackers that the rest of us do about AOL users.
So ,you work for a salary? Paid for by collecting taxes from companies and people earning a profit? Or donations? And does your government give away the results of your research? Dude, wake up.

Even non profits employ researchers. They don't work for free. Any many still license the results of their work so they can do even more work.

2/3 of what you say is fantasy. I see why you feel so strongly about this.
JavaScript was Netscape's implementation of ECMASCript but they added proprietary stuff that became the de-facto standard....

Well, I'm a Java programmer by trade and have used a few others and I don't have any idea what you mean.
Slamming Mono for implementing Silverlight is about as irrational as slamming Opera or Mozilla for implementing JavaScript.
I could rule the world. Better yet, we need a computer "lock box" to protect our computer stuff.

Actually, you make my point quite nicely.
Java sucks, pure and simple. C# is a JOY compared to Java. And yeah, I program in Java at work 90% of the time. If C# would have made it here sooner they would have chosen that language for sure.
Everyone knows Democrats like Obama are for wealth redistribution. This guy's just getting an early taste.
Stop griping and expend your efforts bringing Mono up to .Net 2.0 compatability.
I doubt the big players want to handle this. Who wants all your security hardware, software and setup techniques stolen?
