Could it be that this development tool is aimed at other marketdroids? I can just imagine them dragging in some feature-rich controls and clicking the "generate ground breaking web app" button.
But how else can a marketdroid explain this to another marketdroid? They haven't got a hope in hell of understanding the technical documentation. You and I can skip past the bullshit-bingo to the real stuff (if it exists).
Yes but if we have several sources of similar but slightly different information, it could be that they weren't first hand and that we don't know the original information source.
Did it ever occur to you that we're all just pissing into the wind? For all we know we could be studying the results of the world's biggest game of Chinese Whispers. How do you know the guy that wrote this stuff down wasn't just having a joke and is now chuckling from beyond the grave at all the havoc he created?
I appreciate what you're saying but money "going into his back pocket" is just a figure of speech. Don't take it too literally. Gates' extreme wealth goes into creating more wealth for himself and those around him, which effectively widens the gap between rich and poor. This is probably not a good thing.
All consumer products take money from the working class for the executives of the companies that make them.
Why only the working class? More likely is any sucker that buys them.

in fact i am not ill-informed and marijuana is in fact very bad for your body. 1 joint has as much tar and cancer causing agents as a pack of cigarettes.
That depends on whether you smoke it, eat it, or shove it up your ass.
On message boards like Slashdot, though, you get dupes and the same old tired arguments about Open Source and Digital Freedoms and (bonus!) Slashdot commenters complaining about how lame other people are.
And it's the whinging self-righteous grandparent that gets modded "insightful" (in the loosest possible sense of the term) which indicates that you don't need to say anything interesting to appeal to the average/. reader.
Joel from Joel On Software is the software and internet equivelant of Star Jones. Isn't as interesting as he thinks he is. Isn't as revered as he thinks he should be. Isn't as authoritative and insightful and entertaining as he probably feels he is.
-1 flamebait surely. Since when has a vicious personal attack been "insightful"?
Heck, while we're at it, why not put automotive companies out of business by having government-funded and operated initiatives to build and sell cheap or free cars in regional co-ops?
Well, when you have the consumers using free software, they're also keeping the money they would have spent on software. They can use this on other things - like, say, research and development, or maybe another office building, or employ a few more workers, etc, etc.
Exactly. Surely the money is better being plowed into the economy rather than going into Gates' back pocket.
And if someone MUST baby the consumer, how about the fucking TELEVISION INDUSTRY do the subsidizing, instead? Why in the fucking hell should tax money go toward it?
You forget that TV is mass-scale mind control. Why wouldn't the government spend mega bucks to have Fox news scare the crap out of you?

Or Windows to Linux? Or Linux to Windows, Linux to Mac or Mac to Linux? We're not quite seeing the whole picture here.
And why don't you just use Linux instead of windows?

Oh, so that *must* make it science then.
Believe it or not, some people are already skilled in interacting with others.
It's a free country, you're an adult, you can do what you want. That said, I'm not interested in your sexual preferences thankyou very much.
-1 troll!
The server being dead is no excuse for not having RTFA. Have you even heard of mirrordot.org?
Also, your idea reeks of urban myth.
Someone should tell the morons that modded the GP informative!
I salute you sir.
My (mexican) friend paid 10 pesos to get out of a traffic offense. I guess you paid gringo prices...
Ahh well, he could probably afford it. The police in Mexico get paid peanuts, hence the corruption. Gringos are an easy target.
