Isn't that the consumer's fault for not doing their homework before making the purchase? under-educated consumers will always get duped, that's not the MegaCorp's fault.
I agree, this would be the "Killer App". I'd love to run openoffice on the server, and not have to install and patch it on every machine in my house. It's a pig, but it's better then the alternative...
If Romney wins, I hope those that say they will leave actually do. It will cause the nation to agree more; perhaps these people (that would leave) can run some other nation.
Just because YOU are stuck in 1972 doesn't mean the rest of us are. Extended comments past 80 chars keeps the clutter to a minimum.
That's a matter of opinion. I think 'wide' rows look more cluttered. I like to run many terminals; forcing some to be very wide makes my desktop messy.
What creative process do engineers generally practice as a part of their job function, exactly? They are certainly building bridges, but it's pretty hard to argue that they actually *create* them. That said, an engineer who *designs* a bridge could reasonably be considered an artist by the notion I've presented above, however.
You're confused. Most of the people "building" the bridge are not engineers, they're contractors. Just like most of the people "building" your smartphone are not engineers, they're technitions. Most of what engineers do is *designing*.
You've made the insulting assumption that engineering is not an art. Do you think the engineers building bridges are not artists? do you think that engineers do not come up with elegant (and even interesting) solutions to the problems they face? The "Artists" you speak of produce great things, no doubt. But to make those great things scalable and maintanable, you need an engineer.
Why? If not sold at a loss, the PS3 and 360 would not have been nearly as successful in the outset. Console gaming would look a lot more like PC gaming does, a niche market as opposed to the huge mainstream industry that it is.

a (misinformed) consumer usually falls for it

Thats how *Comcast's shitty* hardware works.
FTFY. There are better ways of doing things...
Or care...and why should they?
Yea, but avoiding openoffice because it's a resource hog, and running Xming instead, kinda misses the point.
Or why EGCS and GCC coexist...
They should handle this the same way, and just start calling LibreOffice Openoffice.

This made me laugh...wish i had mod points!
So move!
(Disclaimer...voted for Romney)
To be fair...it kinda did. Not to many CISC (to the metal) machines around anymore...
I think your reply should have been aimed one post up...your parent post agrees with you.
He is on the right compared to Nixon.
Classic example of a good president...
According to the WSJ (not a left leaning publication)...
You, sir, are dreaming.

I do use emacs. In a terminal. with word-wrap enabled. i'd still rather have sane column widths.

They should.
Also, just because google doesn't do something, doesn't mean nobody should.
You could, but you SHOULDN'T

I messed around with an extension that provided code completion (like intellisense) but it didn't really work right. I generally do without.

Java could be worse. It could be Ruby.
Damn right. Works pretty good even for C#! (the MSVS users i work with think i'm eccentric and annoying)
Good luck with that. As fun as they can be, the indie market is the only place isometric games are being developed...
A new non-portable isometric zelda is something you shouldn't hold your breath for.
Give the 3d ones a chance; the two for Wii will both blow your mind; best adventure/action games that I know about...

OK, i'll bite. How do you measure successful?
