I am certain both you and benjymouse, if you are LINQ proponents, don't have a clue how to write high performance data access layers. I have had to undo that wonderful ORM/LINQ crap clueless morons like both of you (assumed by your comments) created because "it is awesome". Awesomely bad. LINQ straight-jackets you, as does every ORM library out there. It's just like a drug dealer, that first hit is free... That doesn't mean that you shouldn't use them as they have their place. But overall, be aware of their short-comings and make sure to wrap the access layer such that it can be wholesale replaced if need be.
LINQ is the PHP for those who can't design proper data architecture and access layers. As for C# being better than Java, if it was, I'd still be writing in it. I'd rather write C++ or even use that MFC Hungarian infested C abomination first.
This is irrelevant, the reasons for not using mono are simple: it's a shitty language and implementation. Done. Use something else, anything else, that doesn't try to mimic a bad architecture with a shitty language.
I wrote a couple as a test and quickly abandoned those, as well as some desktop apps painful as they were, way back somewhere between 99 through the early 2000s. The 1% (hopefully much much less) is in reference to today's devs. No dev today should be writing an applet. In fact, I'd be perfectly happy if Oracle removed the applet code and browser integration "capability" (used very loosely) completely.
The litany of security defects are largely edge cases in portions of the libraries most don't use or browser based (ie, applets) which don't concern 99% of java devs (I wish I could say 100%, but somewhere, some idiot is still writing applets) The core has been relatively stable since J5.
Not only that but there are actually a lot of people who are very perceptive of long term threats.
Yes there are, generally many of them are research scientists and other highly educated people. You can't picture long term threats if you cannot conceive of the concepts.
These people typically suffer from various forms of anxiety disorders and/or various chondrias. The worst ones typically hang out at 911truth.org, infowars.com, or prisonplanet.com, constantly pester the bilderberg group, and believe that there's an active global conspiracy by completely imagined groups like NWO or Illuminati.
I'd say an equal number or more hang out watching fox news etc. Neither are related to the first group.
What if you create a backdoor by creating an encryption method that accepts 2 decoding keys instead of one? Obviously the encryption is now twice as easy to bruteforce, but this doesn't seem to be a big deal. Are you worried about this factor of two, or is the theoretical weakening more severe?
There is now a key that is under the door mat, so to speak. Do you feel safe enough to leave your house key under the door mat, with an arrow pointing to it?
I look at the author of the article, Lee Siegel, that Wikipedia says attended Columbia University. That school is a private ivy-league school currently and charges $51,008 per year.
No more needs be said, really. Lee needs to pay up.
I too would have loved a pricey private school's name printed on my degree. My wallet said "no".
You don't have to look to far for other evidence either. Yes, I know the timeline there - 100 years minimum, there was another article that predicts a 5 year timeframe for the collapse of a different shelf, which was not predicted to melt for many decades. Basically they're all guessing at the rate, and sometimes apparently even the most pessimistic are far too optimistic.
I priced out an equivalent Dell a year ago on my latest purchase, and the Dell wound up being $400 more, with less capable hardware, but it did have 0.5" more screen!
I'd say losing 10-20 feet (in depth) of land is a significant cost. Or perhaps you don't believe all the 100s of thousands of cu miles of ice is melting? Of course I already bought some of the slope at 20-30 feet. I might as well profit if you continue your polluting ways.
It may not be HTML's job, but certain basics still need to be understood, such as where you load JS from, and what you can access when in HTTPS mode versus HTTP, and why those things matter. 99% of HTML "devs" do not understand a thing about those scenarios. Anyone that says Ruby is secure doesn't have a clue. Python? Seriously? They may have started taking it more seriously, but how seriously can you take a system that doesn't even verify certificates in 2015? (Since it was reported in Dec 2014, and I'm guessing it wasn't a 1 day fix)
Nope, there's situations when a group you don't have control of decides to use something as terrible as Skype for their group conversations. If that is work related, you have little choice in the matter.

Considering that MS tried writing portions of Windows Vista in it and failed, um... yes as far as C# is concerned?

I agree, it was an awesome comment, I'd have modded it Funny if I could have.
Yep, a simple lookup engine and 2 forms. There's a shining example. I've seen more complex software written in a bar.

There's a reason C# isn't used for writing windows. Hint: It's not because it's "great".

Anything anyone related to a spy agency says should be considered a lie until proven true. It's in their job description.

Yes, but I'm sure that Columbia, Harvard, MIT, etc would have been a highly desired name on your yet to be earned diploma.

Keep in mind that the current rate of loss is less than a foot a century! Where's the evidence that this will change?

I just wish Dell, HP, or IBM didn't keep people buying their even more over priced crap.

There's a lot more oil in there than you think, and OPEC will also run out of oil eventually, maybe even around the same time
I agree that getting off of fossil fuels is the better option all around, for pollution, global warming, and international relations sakes.

Yep, skype is perfectly good at:
I apologize for my humor impairment. Not enough caffeine....
If you check the name and person out, you'll understand why I used it and not Prince.

You likely selected to never store conversations at some point in the past. 99% of Skype users probably don't know that is possible.
