yeah... fair enough.
Some people, when they hear about Jessica Simpson doing a cover of a Beethoven symphony, they say with a smile "shit, that must be really crap!" and then think about something else. Some get all worked up.
The first category is right (can we do anything to stop Jessica??). The second should take the chill pill to preserve their health. You seem to belong to the first category and I'm in the second. I'd like to be with you though!
Lucky bastard yo!
Agreed. They've having this comics frenzy at the moment which was fine as long as the victims were spider-man, x-men and other daredevil (one fucked up movie!). Also, the league of extraordinay gentlemen, average comic book, terrible movie, no problem. But now, sin city? (good please dont let them screw that one), V for Vendetta? (with Portman?nooooooo) and even scarier, the WATCHMEN??? please tell me who in hollywood is able to make a watchmen movie that will satisfy the readers expectations!
About V for Vendetta, the W brothers have shown us their talent in Matrix (revolution.. yeah right) ad the third one (can't remember the title). As we say in French, it's giving jam to pigs...
Begin controlled by a government board doesn't have to be a bad thing and is probably better than being controlled by someone like sky's rupert. Remember the Alastair Campbell story? I think that was a pretty good proof of relative independance wasn't it?
Many people here might be able to work long hours without lowering quality but that's not the case for the average joe (read: me). A survey in Europe showed that French workers spend less time on their work place for same productivity as other countries workers. I think 40/45 hours a week has become a standard for some pretty good reasons...

Whenever I read that kind of thread I wonder if all the energy spent by/.ters in defending such and such languages doesn't come down to a fair bit of insecurity most of the time. At the end of the day, as a developer, the technologies listed on your resume are one of your best assets for job/money/quality career.
Reading someone hammering the languages you've spent month or years on is like reading somone saying that your experience is worth nothing! Therefore you want to reply and defend it.
The whole point is that those arguements could be most interesting but they seem to be tainted most of the time.

How about popularity through Easy-to-use without intrusive "value-added" bloat, standards compliance and a powerful, open plugin interface?
:-P
A very cool and respectable goal that is !
