Lol, as opposed to revisionist history, causation/correlation errors, and argument by make-believe which seems to be your preferred method.
I like how you and your ilk claim anyone who argues against any sort of needless, petty government interference (extra large sodas, bans on tobacco products, bans on talking on phones on plans because it's 'annoying', forcing silly mandates like the USB mandate down people's throats, etc...) is 'libertarian'.
It's even less meaningful that the other fucking tards who claim any sort of government program is "soshlism". You dumbasses are peas in a pod.
If you've read most of the responses, most of you are uneducated, spoiled children. Of course he is trying to make more money by shutting down access to _his_ content. It's his fucking content.
Reading these comments it's striking to me just what a bunch of entitled, sniveling little cunts people are becoming. Look, I don't blame Google for piracy either and can say that this guy is slightly off topic, but fundamentally his point is solid with regards to content creators getting screwed over by the "gimme" generation.
Information does not want to be free. Sorry you entitled dirty hippies, someone worked to create that content. And claiming that they just need to change their business model is like claiming that Bitcoin will never work because it should not be protected. I mean, information wants to be free so if I can bamboozle or hack my way into your private key all your Bitcoin are belong to me. Sorry, you should find a better business model.
I do have a problem with the DMCA and other bought laws, but I have almost no problem with copyright laws and strong enforcement of such including suing people who directly host and make pirated content part of their business.
Greatly exaggerated. I just got my first Windows phone (my Android-tablet-as-phone trial failed, so decided to get a real phone and try Windows) and the market is OK. I even found Grasshopper, an app to let me manage Micasa Verde's Vera.
'course no Puzzles and Dragons is an issue, but I'll just play that on my tablet.
First, Warren Buffet does not pay less than his secretary. That's a flat out lie.
Second, only the upper middle class pay a little under 30% in _total taxes, all state, local, Federal, FICA, etc... The wealthy pay a few percent more, but it goes down as you go down the income levels.
I'm not complaining that the rich pay more, simply stating the fact that they do, as they should. Your lot would have us believe they don't.
As for hand-waving about FICA and whatnot, it's all meaningless. I am talking about federal income taxes. If you want to whine about your state or local taxes, or social security then whine about them.
Nice talking point, only the facts are contrary to said talking point. The rich pay most of the taxes and pay a higher percentage of income on taxes than everyone else. This is without exception other than a small blip somewhere high up in the brackets, e.g. something like people who make over $700k a year may pay a percent or two higher tax rate than people who make $2M a year.
God, I know. Suddenly Python is as hip as hip gets. All the cool kids using it. They even use it to write ridiculously large systems like OpenStack. Good fucking luck with that. If you employ 50+ hipsters to support it I'm sure you can do great...
Nonsense. Restricted (as in pretty strongly, if not severely) diets are shown to be the best for longevity. This means you don't do much but maybe some very mild walking, limited exercise, and you eat a pretty low number of calories.
Microsoft has a ridiculously nice PaaS offering in Azure, but they really don't have any presence in the on-premises/hybrid cloud. They can put Azure in your corporate environment, but it's a very, very heavy lift - you can't just go download it and install it, though they have some limited subset of it that you can do that with.
This actually surprises me as they don't really have an answer to OpenStack and the other OS cloud stacks. Seems maybe they'll start getting more involved, which is a good thing.
Yes, I'm a Microsoft fan as I'm a.NET developer and I said some good things about MS above. The neckbeard contingent is free to chime in with blatherings about "shills".
The best diet is probably a balanced diet of about 1200 calories a day. The safest way to avoid getting hit by a car is not to walk across streets or drive a car. The safest way to avoid dying via plane is to not fly, etc...
True enough, but hilariously those exact same sour grapes, turned around 180 degrees by the other gender, are seen as valid and meaningful..by people other than me.
Rubbish. I also find it hilarious you posit that a law which gives women more options for leave is somehow sexist against women. Hilarious.
They are right to leave it at that - that's the explanation. Women can and do have babies and they are the only gender who can. Ergo they tend not to work as much or be as valuable to employers, and you are paid based on your value to your employer not what is "fair".
The competition or the ability/skill? You can put two toddlers in a basketball and they'd be pretty evenly matched, does that make it a great "competition"?

Other than being uses in 99% of Ethernet devices? Uh...Nothing else, I guess?
Lolno. You _do_ get a charger with every phone. What phone have you ever bought that doesn't come with a charger?
BS. Android phones would use USB charging anyway, it's the cheapest path.
huh? Prime is two day shipping.

Yes, it's legal and yes they can get away with it. There's no law, that I know of, titled "The fishy sounding business practices law".

You are correct. People crack me up - a lot of it is wishful thinking of neckbeards who like to think .NET and MS are dying.
You neckbeards and your fantasies crack me up. Windows isn't going anywhere, and Windows on the server-side most especially isn't.

No, he isn't. He should try to sell $0.5Bn and see how much money he actually gets. It's like having stock - you need a buyer.
Nonsense. Restricted (as in pretty strongly, if not severely) diets are shown to be the best for longevity. This means you don't do much but maybe some very mild walking, limited exercise, and you eat a pretty low number of calories.
Lol, no it is not. It's more of a framework of barely working stuff you can maybe get working together.

Who the fuck wants to live like that?
You seem to assume they are making, en masse, irrational decisions which cost them money. This is even more amusing.

For example, compare records in speed skating - massive differences. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...
Programming is a stepping-stone job into project, network, equipment logistics, and server management
Lolwut? You have it exactly backwards, unless you think "programming" is shitty web page writing.
