Funny thing: I have many Java client applications. Like Sancho for mldonkey, Azureus, ThinkingRock, and FreeMind. They are a bit slow but have no worthy replacement.
And on the server: What replaced Java then? Some of those slow-as-hell script languages, that are not even real languages, like PHP, Python or Ruby? Maybe for pure websites. But for real server apps? Business stuff?.NET? Naaahhh... Most servers do not even run.NET, because they run Linux or some oder Unix variant. And Mono is far from something you install on a multi-millon server project.
They are continuing to kill the language and platform, now C# and.NET in their attempt to kill Java.
Sorry, but that is an old hat..NET is not nealy as successful as Java, and is no danger to it, even if itâ(TM)s because of the simple fact that it does not (really) run on real Unices or Linux, which is on pretty much all big servers.
Interestingly, Java nowadays is insanely fast for a VM. It comes close to C++ in modern test... As long as you donâ(TM)t use the UI functionality.
No. They tried to murder them for power. Pure power. IE was the one browser to rule them all. Fortunately they were too stupid to do anything useful with that power. They only saved the money to continue developing their web developer torture instrument called IE
Luckily, then the great Mozilla rose:
Mammon slept. And the beast reborn spread over the earth and its numbers grew legion. And they proclaimed the times and sacrificed crops unto the fire, with the cunning of foxes. And they built a new world in their own image as promised by the sacred words, and spoke of the beast with their children. Mammon awoke, and lo! it was naught but a follower.
-- from The Book of Mozilla, 11:9 (10th Edition)
And Java is as far from dead as possible. Sun won the lawsuit against MS, and Java is one of the most used server languages.
I see the good of it. Without this event, there would be no Firefox, maybe no XHTML as we know it, not such a big popularity of open source software, and not the freedom of add-ins like AdBlock Plus or Greasemonkey and Firebug.
Well, I seek power. But I do it for a reason that is not compatible with the methods described by you.
I seek power trough respect. People should follow me because they want, not because they have to.
So I need no control over them.
Maybe this methods and thoughts in your post are true for many people who seek power. But certainly not for all of them.
So please don't talk as if they were inseparable aspects of such people. They are aspects of assholes seeking for power because maybe they got ignored by their mommy too much and now hate daddy and the world for it, or something like that.
protip: There are no good pickup lines. The very concept of using I prepared line to pick up girls is faulty, and will always result in a fail relative to what you could have accomplished. Yes. Even if you're called Mistery. And yes. I actually really know it better than him.:)
1. About software developers: They are no developers, or never ever developed for the web, if they use that thing. As soon as you know what a horror IE is for web developers, you canâ(TM)t use it, except for being sadistic. And come on. A developer who is going to miss out on FireBug? Must not know what options there are with Firefox⦠Aka.: heâ(TM)s a noob.;)
2. I think you completely misunderstood me. The good stuff for free are the add-ons. Like AdBlock Plus, Download Helper, and so onâ¦
You mean issues like heating the atmosphere to something deadly, and spreading of the ray possibly burning everything in a 10-mile-radius around the ground station? I would not want to work in that station. No, thank you...
There were no space based solar panels in SimCity 2000. You must have mixed it up with something else. In SimCity 2000, normally you leveled the field, built a mountain an big as possible in one edge, and filled it with waterfalls.
Then you went to play mode, pressed pause, and filled the mountain with dams for as much money as you did not need to build the actual city. No need for the other types of power plants.;)
But there was nothing space based in SimCity 2000, except for the occasional alien that invaded you.
You mean a site that thrives on geeks having too much free time on their hands, and money from showing them ads, survived an event where masses of geeks lost their jobs?
No it is not. You apparently never tried to program a real web application to work in that thing.
It contradicts its own rules, based on random things like race conditions between the first execution of JavaScript in an <IFRAME> and the end of page the rendering routine. Been there, seen it, circumvented stuff like that in anything from 2 minutes to no less than two weeks of hard debugging.
In the matrix of IE, you only have to remember one thing: There is no standard. Everything can change, and change back in the blink of an eye, for no reason at all.
I fear that to be a Trident developer, you must be a genius to understand that mess, and crazy to stand it, at the same time.
I used to block IE because it was not worth the extra work and feature removal, only to have the noobs of the Internet (which were not in my target group anyway, I'm a software developer) telling you your site was buggy.
Now I do not block them, because most of them simply do not know what they are talking about. And it is wrong to insult them, for being tricked by someone else. So I tell them they got tricked, and how they can remove all the limitations, make their life easier, and get even more good stuff for free, and without hassle. I even have a e-mail template for it. I only get positive responses.
Think of a set of sections, paragraphs for every paragraph of a section, and sentences for every sentence of a paragrap Then you can run a function which randomly or from some seed value selects which sentences and paragraphs go into the paragraphs and sections. In fact, this comment is a Haskell program to do exactly this. (Of course, in reality, the Picker type would be "[a] -> IO a".)
Damn Slash. I got a "Filter error: Please use fewer 'junk' characters.". Apparently non-circumventable. So yo can grab the original from here: http://pastebin.com/f22167cc9
Maybe to me this is so obvious because I'm a programmer. But I think, if one regularly uses a computer, one should know how to automate such things. Not nessecarily in Haskell though.;)
The key word here is "published". This is, because Apache has an open bug tracker. And IIS has -- I guess from the quality;) -- no bug tracker at all. But Apache fixes its bugs quickly, or even at all, compared to ISS. Well, I guess to get some useful numbers, one would have to count the numbers of actually used exploits.
But then again, writing it anonymously most likely means that you are a troll...

Answer: No replacing happened.

Your comment was exactly what I wanted to say with my sentence. I thought all this would be well-known around here.
But good that you wrote what I did not have the energy to write. :)
What's a "null pointer bitch"?
... that guy?
We have carnival here in Cologne. The last days. triple-X-sessions were the norm, not the exception. So a single X is enough for me today. :)

But I do not thank Microsoft for that.
Well... those are your thoughts. Not mine. Go away, you freak! ;)
Maybe you reflected it on me, because your brain could not accept that it was a part of you. :)
(Hmmm... There's a "Is Soviet Russia..." joke in there somewhere...)

Oh, this is an even more impressive feat on the real face of the Slashdot users.
Moderating someone who criticizes mass murder as Flamebait?
So⦠uhm⦠you like mass murdering?
Then how about we start with you?
The link in the parent comment caused my X session to unexpectedly terminate. No idea how he did it, or if it was intentional, but it happened.
protip: There are no good pickup lines. :)

Yes. Even if you're called Mistery. And yes. I actually really know it better than him.
I want them wrapped. Same as my gifts.
Doesn't mean they will stay wrapped for very long. ;)

Shocking, I tell ya. Shocking! ;)
You have an argument. A straw-man argument.
That logging not being in the TOS, but happening anyway, is the very point of the GP post.
Or, in other "words": WHOOOOSH!
No thanks. I build my Linux from scratch. And I do it because it is fun to me.
Heâ(TM)s a troll. Donâ(TM)t feed him. Itâ(TM)s like with the homeless people. If you give them change, there will be more soon.
Like Cartman told us.
No it is not. You apparently never tried to program a real web application to work in that thing.
It contradicts its own rules, based on random things like race conditions between the first execution of JavaScript in an <IFRAME> and the end of page the rendering routine.
