It would probably help his attitude if MS and Sony didn't take such an openly hostile attitude towards MMO's on their consoles. A lot of developers have just given up in disgust trying to develop modern MMO's for those consoles (most notably with Champions Online). Both the 360 and PS3 have the power to support MMO's, but MS and Sony make it almost impossible with all their restrictions.
Most students now can get Visual Studio for free. And I've used all the IDE's you mentioned at some point or another, and VS would be superior to any of them--even if I had to pay for it. Eclipse and Netbeans are wonky as hell, especially when you're tying to build a GUI.
Change is fine--if it is an improvement. Change for change's sake is just annoying. Personally, I don't find Chrome's interface an improvement in any way. I couldn't give a shit about the "clean look" fad myself (AFAIC, Steve Jobs can take his one-button mouse and shove it up his iHole). I just want my browser to be functional--and not force me to dig around in some new UI just to do simple stuff like printing.
How dare you introduce a rational argument into our anti-corporate witchhunt, sir! Who cares if vaccines and GM crops save millions of lives each year? The important thing to remember is that a bunch of himbos and bimbos in Hollywood think they're bad!
No, the Romans were right. A lot more Roman lives were saved due to the much-improved sanitation provided by that plumbing than were lost to lead poisoning. And I suspect a lot more starving people will be saved by the better yields that GM crops provide than will ever be harmed by any side-effects.
I hate the Chrome interface. I was hoping that Firefox wouldn't go that route. Does anyone know if the new beta still has an option to use the classic interface?
You're a nutball. None of your those sources say any such thing (none of the credible ones anyway). Time to take off the tin-foil hat. I'm not continuing this discussion anymore, as it's pointless to try to reason with your kind.
We have such laws on the books (we even have an entire amendment of our Constitution dedicated to it), but no one in the government or law enforcement has paid much attention to them since 2001.
Well, they've got a lot of experience producing computer animation of craft they never actually build and missions which they never actually launch. So this is just a natural extension.
The only thing those sources point out is that Eisenhower had mothballed Von Braun's research project in the 50's. That was well known. But that's a LONG way from saying the U.S. already had superior technology throughout the space race and was just hiding it out in some secret warehouse (presumably with the aliens spaceship from Rosewell and the Lost Ark). Von Braun may have been able to put a satellite up earlier if he had adequate funding and support, or maybe not. We'll never know. All we know for sure is that he DIDN'T, and that once his project was restarted it took him years to catch up to the Soviets.
*Console* games still have a resale value. Most of the PC games I buy now either have a one-use activation code or require some sort of online activation that prevents you from reselling.
The American media still love to jab the Russians. It's an old, childish resentment going back to the Cold War and the space race. Even today, you'll find thousands of American-made documentaries about the space race in which the Soviets are only mentioned as an afterthought (even though they pioneered almost every space "first" from 1957-1969). I've only seen one English documentary that even tried to deal seriously with the Soviet space program (and, of course, you can't buy it in the U.S., it was only released in Region 2 and only aired once in the U.S., on the National Geographic Channel)
In 1948, Truman issued an order desegregating the military. By 1954 (and thanks in no small part to the help of his Republican successor, Dwight Eisenhower) the job was done, even over the objections of Congress and many soldiers/military leaders. That was leadership.
Obama's answer to that? "Well, at some point I'm going to go to Congress and ask them to repeal don't ask don't tell, even though I could just do it with an executive order as Commander-in-Chief anytime I wanted to...And maybe they'll give it to me...after they commission a study on it...maybe...but I'm not making any promises...okay?" Good thing he wasn't around during the civil rights movement. We'd still be in the midst of a 50-year study on the potential effects of desegregating lunch counters.

Well, some of us just happen to be more environmentally conscious than you. *We* take the time to dig a hole somewhere and bury our e-crap.
Obviously.
They should bring this to the U.S. Our taxpayers really need to lose thousands of pounds.

Yeah, but this guy was his proctor for the test.
Because I'm not buying it unless it does.
Goal or not, it's still shite being Scottish.

No worries. Tommy later ended up in Rome doing pretty well for himself.

Or it could just be that people who tend to stay indoors all the time also lean towards being neurotic pansies and hypochondriacs.

Now get off Prince's lawn, ya young whippersnappers with yer noisy electronic doo-hickeys!!
Saying 55 percent of your country in below sea level when it's actually only 26 percent isn't exactly a trivial error.
