What I guess I should have said is: it goes both ways. We can all be civil to each other, or we can all flame like raging assholes. It appears that, at least so far as/. goes, the choice has been made.
I don't understand why Europeans vent here so much. I chalk it up to trolling. Popular trolling, of course, but no better than the common GNAA horseshit. Since I can't fight the flow, I just insult right back.
Young == inexperienced enough times to use it as a guiding principle. Just because (you feel) you're an exception to the rule doesn't invalidate the rule. In other words, it is a generalization, but not a gross one at all.
C#, VB, Java, etc. do not scale well with the intelligence of their programmers; Lisp, Scheme, Dylan, Python, and Smalltalk do.
You aren't demonstrating a whole lot of intelligence yourself. Just because you can't figure out the advanced techniques doesn't mean they don't exist.
Selfishly getting educated to make money instead of heading off to a place where you're needed and putting in the labor necessary to get something done? For shame, hypocrite. Your priorities are borne from the comfort of college, and everyone knows how easy it is to look down from that ivory tower. For shame.
When are people going to stop setting up that 'I didn't deprive' strawman?
(Note that you in the following paragraph is in general)
You did deprive someone of their constitutional right to control the distribution of their work. Period. You can't replace that right once you've taken it away, so you have indeed stolen. Period. Anything else is a weasely justification that requires rhetorical torture to stand up, and it all falls over under scrutiny.
DRM 'manages access' in the same way that jail 'manages freedom.'
You mean it attempts to stop people who are inclined to break the law from hurting those of us who are inclined to be decent human beings? Sounds good, then.

I'm pretty sure this thread has hit anti-humor levels. The only hope is to bring it back through the other side.
Should have guessed it, really.
Stateside, it's pretty much useless academic holdovers, and people with somewhat pretentious attitudes.
Thanks, I've learned something today.
Corporate twin powers, activate! Shape of: e-strategy! Form of: synergistic marketing iniitiatives!

Ah, the sheer beauty of the expression of an inferiority complex is really unmatched in my mind.
Keep chasing #1 with clever insults and rhetorical devices. It's bound to pay off somehow.
Yeah, but this is a US site, and you're effectively here as guests, so please stop shitting on our furniture and pissing in the punchbowl, OK?
Yeah, get angry. That anger will get you... well, nothing at all. But I bet it feels good, at first.
If you code like you express yourself, I'm really glad I'm not working with you.
Why the hell call it a CV? Have you no actual work experience? Or do you believe that academic terms carry more weight?

Because we don't like you.
Get glasses? I can read 8pt text on a 1920x1200 17 inch monitor from 2 feet away.
Alright, I'm addicted to the easy joke. Mod him down if you really want to.

If it was hard to make, it should be hard to understand.
They make money. That's not allowed, I think.
And what happens if someone doesn't know the difference between java and javascript? Do they still have the necessary skill?
Shhh - I charge an extra 25 an hour to bandy the term 'AJAX' about, and 'Web 2.0' adds another 10. Don't fuck up my billing with honesty and insight.
but I bet you don't want to pay my rates.
What's the solution?
Because it's more of a political manifesto with ideology I don't like than it is a software license.
I applaud your well-reasoned post.
