That's the beauty of PHP. Everyone rolls their own everything because they can do it better than the other guy(s). That's why PHP remains the most vibrant community for web developers: there is a huge exchange of ideas that get recycled into new frameworks every day. Unlike other web development environments where you have to contend with other people's conventions who probably aren't as smart as you. When you go PHP, you know you're getting quality because it takes a special type of developer to wield the incredible power that raw PHP gives you.
No, PHP am ROCK STARS. It is the fastest, most popular, most flexible language that gives the programmer TOTAL CONTROL rather than the BLACK BOX of MAGIC that is RoR. Namespaces? ORM? RESTful routing? Bah! The rockiest language for web development is a C wannabe where everyone rolls their own session management!
Look damnit, if the free market thought there was an advantage to doing things your way then we'd all be growing our own battery chargers on government plantations. You presume to tell American businesses how to optimize their production lines? Nonsense and tosh! If you want something done a particular way, do it yourself! Your elitist attitude makes me sick.
- Internet usage in the US was non-existent until the government invented the internet. Lack of demand for something doesn't mean it's a bad idea. Your original statement that nobody uses trains for personal transportation was laughably stupid because trains aren't for personal transportation, they're for mass transit. Learn to use words and terms correctly before you go jerking off over how smart you are and how dumb everyone else is. I know, it feels good, but it's masturbation.
- No, I've never heard of entropy. I am super stupid and was so awed by your original assertion that trains fall apart when not cared for that I had to repeat it just to make sure the wisdom wasn't lost on me.
- Whatever. The fact that we have the best care available to people who can afford to pay top dollar says jack shit about the suitability of the system for everyone else. You know, "we, the people".
- Sorry to offend such a rugged individual. Go take on the day you self-made titan of industry, you.
- Very few people drive trains to work or the grocery store - If you don't take care of trains they will fall apart - Heads of state can buy services in a country therefore everyone in the country has the same access to those services - Stop whining and get some bootstraps
No, in a true free market only the amoral are poor and thus they deserve to be executed. This is why we all need guns, so that executions can be "crowdsourced" if you will, eliminating the need for BIG GOVERNMENT involvement. Keep government out of our prisons, hospitals, and schools!
You know what's even better than asserting something? Backing it up with references and supporting information. Did BIG GOVERNMENT fuck that up for you too?
If the market determines that there is significant value in reading closed format autocad files (if such things exist outside of liberal academia) then all it would take is someone with enough motivation and willpower (i.e. not a welfare queen) to form a corporation which can perform that function while providing value to its shareholders. Same for the other scenarios you mention.
The beauty of free market capitalism is that not only are these services guaranteed to arise, they will be the most efficient as inferior attempts are driven out of the market.
Any other way of conceptualizing commerce is immoral and anti-individual at best, and at worst a heinous insult to the good wealthy people in society who provide jobs and money to the rest of us.
Wow awesome insights there, broheim. Trains not a popular mode of personal transport? Hardly a marvel, indeed! Members of the world's political elite have the wealth and influence to buy good medical treatment? Wow, I guess that means the rest of us should just shut up and stop our bitching right?
You're so far behind you think you're in first place.
Sure, as long as they bring in the free market to do it. Nothing gets a job done on time and under cost like unfettered free enterprise and rugged individualism.
If people want transparency in government they need only look to the free market. If a company provides a good software solution for sovereign states, why should they be barred from participating in the marketplace? The most free solution will win, by definition, since it's a free market and everybody wins in free markets. Socializing our software will only lead to more holocausts.
Yes, no one should earn money, consolidate data, or expend energy reducing their overall energy consumption. You would make a great CIO, what are you doing giving away your insights for free on slashdot?
Unless they outsource it to the FREE MARKET in which case it will be the most efficient, cost-effective solution ever completed six months ahead of schedule.
"Everyone is wrong but the free marketeers. Poor free marketeers, constantly crushed under the homosexual neoliberal big government socialist capitalist conspiracy."
Talk about your false dichotomies and one true scotsman fallacies. Your post reads like someone complaining that "true christianity" has never been tried because atheists and hindus both exist. Deal with it.
A comment containing absolutely nothing but handwaving conjecture is moderated "Interesting". Thousands of dilletantes stroke their neckbeards in contemplation. Hmmmmm, yes, what if that thing you said?
I was wondering why my linux lolbertarian control freak friend wouldn't shut up about the freedom KDE gives him and how Konqueror is the best, thanks for the insightful post (which I'm sure will get modded down by people who really ought to be putting on pants and cleaning up the takeout containers).
It is politicized, and you do need a solid understanding of research methods and statistics to interpret results. I mean, how would you be able to go around telling people you "believe in" quantum mechanics if the prerequisite was that you taught yourself quantum mechanics and could follow the literature. Or medicine, or lasers for that matter?
Fortunately we have a substantial contingent of researchers who have devoted their careers to this topic. We call them "experts" should be wise enough to listen to them especially when an issue becomes political. We need to be able to see the denialists and the skeptics (they're just doing their best to stay true to their intellectual ideals) for what they are, expected contingents in any politicized issue. Not evidence that the experts are not.
on the other hand, science did create the modern world. is it possible that highly trained people know something you don't? what has scientology done to earn your respect you credulous twit?

If the baby had been born with a gun, this wouldn't have happened. Those permissive parents were asking for it by giving birth in an elitist hospital.
I'm seriously cuckoo for free markets and Ron Paul.
You heard it here first, folks:
- Very few people drive trains to work or the grocery store
- If you don't take care of trains they will fall apart
- Heads of state can buy services in a country therefore everyone in the country has the same access to those services
- Stop whining and get some bootstraps

Right, like your post full of handwaving and negative framing was such great criticism.
Talk about your false dichotomies and one true scotsman fallacies. Your post reads like someone complaining that "true christianity" has never been tried because atheists and hindus both exist. Deal with it.
