Perhaps due to your moderation being meta-moderated unfair?
And the irony is that this happens, in my shorter experience, exactly when you do something useful and mod something redundant or off-topic... if you just go around modding things funny and insightful (I've seen very little insight here really) no one disagrees and you keep getting points!
Actually the FAQ is ambiguous on this point - maybe you should read it again and look for the second reference...

You will never get mod points by simply agreeing with the parent poster.
I don't know, you just got a bunch of karma for something vacuous, while just one of those points could have been used to mod that post redundant (and remove it from most people's view, saving that time again).
The problem is that any fool can get mod points these days, and meta-moderation isn't working... Now will someone please mod us off-topic!
I've rented so many scratched DVDs that at this point I rent the VHS tape before I rent the DVD
A machine with a good laser and mechanism can play disks from a hire shop with decent standards, no VCR could play strecthed, creased tape properly... I don't miss those black and white lines crawling down the screen!
If the apostrophe were placed correctly we'd just be left with poor grammar suggesting that this is somehow a widely held and significant opinion.
It's actually one small organisation's attempt at getting pulibicity by re-hashing what's already been suggested in other countries as if they've ever had a novel idea.
A general physics book - thank you I've read many - or something specifically on optics as applied to holography?
Even pointing me in the right general direction would have been far less useful than the people who could actually answer my question on this thread... so why did you bother?
I agree that C# wouldn't have happened without the legal problems either... but your original post seemed to contradict that the reason for Microsoft to introduce another language (by which I mean either Java or C#) to their development environment was language features like these.
We actually seem to agree that Java 'would have done just as well', and this is the route they started down, but I didn't want you to (seem to) deny the point being made (which is much more valid, in this context, than all the old boring and over-stated Slashdot rubbish about monopoly and posturing and satanism).
As it goes I did - I used Visual J++ before it was even released, back in the day, and supported Microsoft's adaptations (the COM-binding ones at least) to the technology and was sad about Sun's position, which I followed closely.
Now that we've cleared that up (and F*** YOU, ignorant moderator), can I state again that BEFORE the legal dispute (which has nothing to do with this thread) there were reasons Microsoft was interested in Java over Visual C++ (which I used to develop) that continue to this day, sadly in a wholly divergent language rather than a variant implementation.
If it also solves the buffer overflow problem (I don't know C#), that is a beneficial side effect.
Which is to ignore why Microsoft were interested in a 'new' language (ok, no parametric polymorphism, no inductive datatypes, no higher-order functions etc. etc., but, oooh, array bounds checking!) like Java in the first place... You didn't really think much about your answer, did you?... (Congratulations for feeling qualified to rehash the same old rubbish about lawsuits without even knowing or thinking about the technology...)

It's like a positive feedback loop of dross...

Or, if you actually read the source on this, that poster was reading more into Valve's response than was said.
They only said they're monitoring it and responding, not that they'd released it.
It's easy to monitor who's sharing a file on BitTorrent without seeding a single bit, never mind being the original seeder...
Meta-comment: go read the moderation guide, idiot!
Google can... I don't know if you've ever heard of it.
INDEED !

I thought Newton captured the mechanics of objects. I refuse to read any of this 'contemporary Physics'.

Basically seems to mean the image isn't fixed?
Good for you, big boy!

I'm not the one over-generalising and trying to change everyone's listening.
(Nor am I the incoherent fool with the inferiority complex because he can't sit down and listen to an album once in a while...)

I just lost karma for modding it down as off-topic (before you posted this).
Is this entire place now policed by half-wits?
I state a fairly little known fact, get challenged, and quote a reliable academic source (more than once) and it's ignored.
Most of my karma came from supposedly 'insightful' comments that were, on the other hand, nothing of the sort.
I guess I shouldn't worry about losing it therefore over similar trivia and moronic opinion - that's all Slashdot is about...
Screw it!
