    wow, someone that understands the language battles. IE Learn how to program(logic, design), then pick a tool(language, ide, etc) to solve the problem. I use java by trade but i can do any lanauge with ease, C++ is my fav tool though.

  8. Re:My experience on Webhost Sues Google · · Score: 1

    It is a crappy system. They should throw out all clicks in a 24 hour period for the same ad from the same ip. They banned me because some prick clicked on my ads over and over daily. I use yahoo now, seems better. I do not trust google with anything, they are a bubble waiting to pop.

  9. Re:It could be worse, it could be .NET on Microsoft Bows to Eolas, Revamps IE · · Score: 1

    3 cd for visual studio, 3 cd's for the entire MSDN library. 1 cd for the rest. seems reasonable to me. I am sure the CD's have redundant information on them.

  10. Re:Open your eyes, people on Open Source Worse than Flying · · Score: 0

    I agree, until Linux just works for every possible thing it will not be any good to non geeks. I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows XP, and I never really have a need to boot to Ubuntu unless I want to play doom3 which i installed on that partition. I attribute most of this to the fact I use my powerbook for all productivity and my desktop for World of Warcraft. But to get my bluetooth mouse/keyboard to work in ubuntu was a real pain in the ass compared to windows, the average user wouldn't waste their time.

    the average 25 year old non linux person will not know what kde is or how to apt-get.

    Domain registrations should cost $100 a year, just to help stop idiots from buying every domain name for $8.95 and reselling them for more than they are worth.

    Mine passes, but it means nothing. Most people still use Internet Explorer, and they wont change.

    I use a Mac primary now, but I do own a Dell and I have never had any issues when I reformat it and install XP pro(Legal). I think people just use this excuse to whine about Microsoft.

    Odd, it worked well for me. I even used it to make a few images for a client. It is not a photoshop or fireworks, but it owns gimp.

  24. Re:Is this a .NET program? on MS Unveils Beta of New Image Editing Program · · Score: 1

    It is C++/MFC. The install directory has MFC and the C++/C runtime libraries.. Side note, it loads in about 1-2 seconds on my 3ghz with 1gb ram. The program reminds me a of a Photoshop version 4 or 5 floating toolbars etc. Every action causes a sound to play though! I like Fireworks more. =)
