Some people can't think without brackets. These kinds of people don't understand anything but C, and never will. You should feel sorry for this clod. He's earned it.
Spoken like someone who didn't take Python seriously enough to even learn the basic syntax. Well done sir. This kind of ass hattery is epic. I aspire to it. Thank you.
Okay, so this is the sixth new platform I've reviewed in the last year that has its own built in web server. Why? It's a complete pain in the ass to manage platforms that are built this way. Most of the time, the servers they come with are not as good for general purpose use as Apache, and well, because they require their own servers... you can't really run them on a traditional server if you wanted to. Now, I understand the need and desire to change the paradigm. I've been there. I've tried to do it. But the web server paradigm EVERYONE ELSE USES is not broken. Why the hell is everyone trying to replace it with something that is untested, that doesn't work as well? Why can't someone design a precise, straight forward language that plugs into my web server, which allows me to scale and thread properly to billions of connections? I'm not asking for a lot. Other than I'm asking for a lot. Apparently.
Yeah, but then any argument about Linux being unpopular becomes silly. Let him have the client argument.

Not true. It's not beautiful or functional. It's been hindered, and it drains productivity. It has no fucking admin tools! You can't move the control bar! You can't multi-task! You can't move icons! How is that functional?!
It's like Mac OS, without the flexibility. If you are a serious computer user, Unity is not for you.
Yeah, but the changes to xorg screw up anything else you try to work with. I don't know about KDE, but xorg has this weird shattering screen thing that happens when you install gnome on it. I'm looking for a new home os. Seriously considering Debian BSD with Gnome.
Sometimes, it really seems like no good deed goes unpunished.
If one of the good guys gives you information to help you fix your systems when they're obviously broken, and you bite their hand... the consequence is that fewer good guys will be willing to do it. So, if you follow this slippery slope argument to it's conclusion; you're pretty much left with the bad guys being the only people who are willing to break into your obviously broken server. And, then there are no warnings. There are no second chances. There is no help.
The researcher may have broken the letter of the law by doing it, but I don't think the law was intended for people who are trying to help. You apply it to them, and you really screw yourself. It amazes me that anyone could get free advice from a random person who found a problem, and take legal action. What the fuck was FSSTS thinking?
And then I posted on the help forums. Asked the developers to share their drugs with me so that I could understand why these changes and hindrances that didn't exist before were now necessary. They did not respond, or share their hard mind altering drugs with me. So it's like I was disappointed twice. Very sad.
I left because of the craziness with my friends getting kicked off for not using their real names. Facebook has a similar policy, but it's not really in force. G+ went a little overboard with it, and I was offended.
That, and even with the 60%... there really wasn't anyone there. I think the whole experience burned me out on social networking more complicated than twitter.
I don't think I want to go back to Facebook, either.
It's COM all over again. I think despite the Microsoft's words, that.net is deader than a door nail, with no logical upgrade path.
Personally, I'm looking forward to Javascript being a full citizen in the land of Microsoft. So to all the shit heads that gloated about how great it was that.net was killing com... I say unto them ha ha.
Although, I can't help but wonder how Microsoft intends to alienate their developers on the next go round.
Still sounds cynical to me. The problem with competing on the internet is that you're literally competing with the entire world. If you've started something online, and it's not panning out... try something else. Since the barrier is so low, mistakes aren't as costly.
In my particular field, I compete an awful lot with Indians, and rank amateurs. It's been this way as long as I can remember. In fact, when I started, I was a rank amateur. I was just really good at selling myself. That was fifteen years ago.
I'm not saying this to brag, but times are better for me than they have ever been for me. I'm making more money than I ever have, and this last time I was unemployed... I found a new job in six days.
My average is about three weeks in the present job market. If you feel like you're being slighted by the presence of amateurs in the market, you're doing something wrong.
On a side note: I've never known anyone who owns servers to be stinking rich, either.
It's not that I don't support Obama or anything, but I think that this set of events is very interesting. Mainly in that the government requires you to buy things all the time. For example, if I want to drive, the government has the right to force me to buy auto insurance. By the same rational, that too must be unconstitutional.
That's when you go on a robot killing rampage. You won't make much of a difference, but at least you'll feel better about yourself in the end. What's the worst that can happen?
They're already being used against our freedom. That's the whole point of the law.
All it takes under Protect IP is an accusation.
If you run a website, you can be filtered with little recourse, and be forced to prove your innocence. Might not sound like much, but let me ask you this: how many sites these days use images they found on Google? Thousands, tens of thousands? Every single one of those sites could potentially have a complaint filed, and be labeled as a "pirate" site without the business owner even knowing what happened.
It's unfair. It stifles speech, and it can easily be used by competitors to hurt the free market.
Agreed. Although I think it's fair to point out that everything could magically change tomorrow. It wasn't long ago that Apple wouldn't even try to play in this space because of the massive failure that was the Newton.

There really have never been great jobs on Dice. It's mostly contracts, and mostly Indian head hunters that will never leave you alone.

That and it's as old as the internet.
And there's always radiohead. Everyone's holding them up as the howto example related to how to do this without a label, and no advertising.
Or you could always hold your breath.
