Hey get over yourself..NET is serious technology and it pays for you to understand it. Just because it has Microsoft behind it doesn't mean it's worthless. As a matter of fact, I think out of the fierce competition that is to come between.NET and J2EE, the person that knows both will come out on top.
Hmm... A PCI board you say? If it does do Gigaflops of calculation, then pray say what kind of bandwidth do you think it's going to take to pipe this massive amounts of data to the chip in the first place? What about memory? Cache misses? Page faults? on a PC? I can make a jet engine that has 100 kN of thrust, but that doesn't mean I should strap it on a Toyota Camry.
Well, Microsoft's search capabilities does need to improve quite a bit, and I've spent more time manually filtering results from MSDN searches than I would've like to. According to people that I've talked to who are involved in this Microsoft effort, Google's PageRank method does not work too well with all the pages microsoft has.
A lot of MSR technologies are being put into the search. Longhorn, the next version of Windows will have an implementation of Microsoft search engine "bundled". For better or for worse, I don't think they can be simply be dismissed. Remember Windows 1.0? Ofcourse you don't, because it really sucked. But why does 90% of the PCs now run Windows?
Not if it is well crafted. Sometimes if you explore the code, or disassemble it, you may be able to find a suitable place where there is a jump instruction. You just simpily create your overflow message long enough to overwrite the jump instruction with a different address, ie. point back to the overflow stuff that contains your malicious code.
It generally requires some clever cracking, and might take a while. But nonetheless as we have seen, it works.
With all the bad things said about Windows, one thing you must give Microsoft credit. When an exploit is made public, they already have the patch ready. This is unlike what Linux/Open source has, and I think it needs to be changed soon. Microsoft has a policy of encouraging private disclosure and has a top notch response team.
But the problem for them is that since so many people use their system and not everyone uses the auto update feature, having a patch out and getting that patch installed are two very different things.
Hm... I plan to write documentation for the code that I write during the contest. This way I can confuse other coders with my wildly commented code during the challenge phase.
Muhahahaha
Canadians have a different notion of freedom than Americans. While we pay about 50% tax on our income and up to 15% sales tax in some parts of the country, we enjoy the freedom of leaving doors unlocked at night, and the freedom of "personal copying". So freedom is never free anyways, but since Canadians realizes that, it really doesn't bother us that much.
While canada is a great place to grow up and grow old, the united states is still a better place to have a career.

I vote hype.
