Oh come on guys, don't be stupid. The quality of the comments in/. has become similar to the drivel that Digg's posters "contribute".
Initiatives like Codeplex have been around for a while and I've personally participated in a few.NET open source projects. There is a vast open source community that works with Microsoft technologies. There is no conspiracy. There is no embrace and extinguish. They are being pragmatic about Open Source and promoting it where it fits instead of dogmatically pushing it wherever they can.
You can try Lazarus and Free Pascal. They are not anywhere near Delphi in terms of maturity but it can give good results in many situations. Its IDE is also quite user friendly.
I really miss the OMG PONIES!!1one. It got so many people mad that it will be impossible to live up to. And yes today has been the worst April fool's day ever.
But at least I will be able to register my last name. It is nice to see the World Wide Web becoming more... world-centric.

C# is a nice language to begin with. Its very similar to Java, it is widely used and supported, it is easy to get started with and you even get free developer tools.
Sir, you are absolutely correct. Thanks for correcting my post in such an informative manner.:-)
What I still fail to understand is how they managed to reverse engineer the systems aboard the spaceship if the spaceship activated itself only after the fleet arrived.
I am sorry, but these are not operating systems. These are nothing more than pretty user interfaces running on top of a web browser that is running on top of an operating system. The use of operating system in this context is a retarded misnomer and we should stop doing it.
They've been studying an Alien fighter in the Area 51 bunker since 1947 (I assume it's the Roswell ship). So they had decades to work out the interfaces.
So... what you are trying to say is that the aliens hadn't updated their software or hardware or even installed security patches in almost 50 years? Oh come on, even our oldest jet fighters are designs from the 60s, and even those have had their electronics updated over the years.
Even if they had no enemies and therefore no reasons to upgrade their weapons systems, they would have been updated as part of planned obsolescence to move their economy.
The main problem with Windows Me was that it used many Windows 98 hardware drivers that were not designed for it. I worked in a computer repair shop at the time and we had MANY clients that would ask us to downgrade their computers from Me to 98. Many businesses would be halted to a standstill because of driver issues with everything from winmodems to network cards.
Another problem was that Windows 2000 was released at the same time as Windows Me. And Windows 2000 was incredibly stable. Me was just pitiful by comparison.
As I can tell from his paper and the article, the thrust generated is very very small. This is fantastic for spacecraft where you have a lot of time available for acceleration, but we won't be seeing flying cars any time soon.:-(
If it works it is a FANTASTIC technology, however, the writers of the article had to hype it beyond reason to get the attention of ordinary people.
To make ASP.NET programming you use Visual Studio Express or better. This app is nothing more than the evolution of Front Page. Yes, you can use it to insert ASP.NET controls but nothing more. You can use it to insert PHP server tags if you want. However, the purpose of this app is to make web pages, not web applications.
Using Dreamweaver's built in functionality to insert PHP snippets is not only foolish but discouraged. Using the Expression web designer to make ASP.NET apps is futile at best.
The weapons were inert, dead, harmless. They were as effective as cans of paint. Iraq did stop manufacturing the so called WMDs after it lost the 1st gulf war. What was found was pre-treaty dead piles of chemicals that couldn't have been used as rat poison.
Any country can make WMDs. USA has thousands of nukes itself. Iraq was forbidden the manufacture of WMDs after the 1st gulf war. The WMDs that were found were pre gulf war 1 WMDs.

I would mod you up but your comment was a bit over the top.
They did it for the "trully epic LOLs"!

Good luck, have fun and think in layers.

You just have to wait until those kids parents put their new government sponsored laptops on ebay.

That is quite interesting. I was under the impression that OpenOffice.org was available for Windows.

Monkey Island 2 and Day of the Tentacle. It is good to see some graphic adventure games on the list. :-)

He is going to get two "villas" at Güantánamo. One for him and one for his cojones. :-)
We need more men like him.
YouTube finally gets put to good use.
I could drink a gallon of paint thinner and die. Does that make the thinner a WMD?
