Haha. You are truly Captain Wishful Thinking. You people that think if you come on a board with a bunch of like minded "thinkers" and say something, that makes it true. "Microsoft is irrelevant!" "See how I've made my hatred known by saying something nonsensical and dismissive of an entity I hate!?". You just did the equivelent of a 13 year old girl's "wha-EVA!"
If you hate MS that much, a better tact would be to not underestimate the enemy in your little nerd battle. They're not irrelevant, to say they are is laughable and shows how provincial and limited your experience in the computing industry is.
Lol. "tagged and bagged". When, 1975? That was about when that terminology was in use.
You don't matter - your e-peen aside, I'm talking about the hordes of SlashDweebs who instantly hop on any question about Windows with "teehee - install Linux!". There may be some super-cool "muchachos" (is that 1975 enough for you?) around here, but by and large the MS haters are unprofessional dweebs who root for the underdog because they have deep seated psychological issues.
As for your "clients" and your "certification" - I won't argue that a lot of idiots aren't MS** certified or that Linux isn't a good solution in many cases. In terms of e-peen, I've submitted large samba patches and done (small) kernel patches internally and have probably been using Linux for longer than most of the johnny-come-lately dweebs around here. Indeed, Linux is the _only_ logical choice for EDA use in a large environment. My point is that it ain't for Grandma, and most SlashDweebs who "lolVistasucks" haven't even used it and make non-sequitur "DRM!" arguments.
They're just small-time pissants hoping for lottery-by-court. They think they can get a quick payoff or get lucky in the courts, and they probably have someone willing to give cheap legal services. There's nothing to see here - they are insignificant and will quickly be squashed like cockroaches.
It is telling. If you're a dweeb you were probably picked on in school and don't get any action from the females. So you tend to root for the perceived underdog. You also tend to not understand the computing needs of average people, and most of you don't know shit about Windows but think you do.
This from a dweeb on Slashdot. Slashdot, where the hilariously predictable first post on a question about how to install Windows for old people was "[durr, hehe]Instll ubuntu". You people have really become a caricature of yourselves.
Web development doesn't (necessarily) mean what you think it means. You're an imbecile if you think JSF, ASP.NET, GWT, etc... development is at the bottom of the programming food chain. Web site design, on the other hand, is at the bottom and isn't programming at all.

I know, it's not like people more likely to take depression medication are inherently more likely to commit suicide.
Sweet Jebus. Why do people keep bringing up Australia and Canada? They are tiny little countries, and neither is doing so well. What I said were simple facts. If your tax system tries to "punish the wealthy" and has a minority of the taxpayers paying the vast majority of the taxes, you are highly susceptible to boom bust cycles.
But hey, if you want to hold up Canada and Australia, we'll see how they turn out, eh? Canada depends on us, so they're pretty much screwed. And it isn't your regulations that saved you, it's that you're both tiny little countries. Besides, the home reposessions aren't a big deal - it's just the lie that "everyone should own a home" coming home to roost.
Your lack of computer knowledge would seem to disqualify you from posting nonsense like this, but..here we are.
Computer OS's run these things called "applications". These "applications" are what really do the things we want. If these "applications" crash, the computer no longer does the things we want. Contrary to what you may have read in your "computers for dummies" book, Microsoft does not write all, or even most, applications.
I have no problem with taxation as a necessary evil. We have to pay for roads, the military, reasonable regulations and regulatory agencies, emergency (only) healthcare, the police, etc... I have a problem with forcing me to be a wage slave and work 1/3 of my life away to pay for other people's bad choices.
You "progressive" ponces like to try to turn the tables and claim people who work for a living should "man up" and pay their taxes. It's a laughable argumentative technique but I imagine it lets you feel like a little less of a bitch, so more power to you. You could tax someone 99% and say the same thing "uhh, deal with it!".
In the end, we (people who work) will win so I'm cool. The extra wealthy really do pull all the strings and they need us (middle and middle upper) class more than they need filth on welfare who have 12 kids. So if you want to pretend we'll have a utopia where you pay 60% taxes on anything you make over $100k, you go right on ahead pretending that.
You misunderstand - but I expected that because you're stupid. I'm not saying "don't be a good neighbor". I'm saying it's not the government's job to try to help you out by abridging my rights. If I am your neighbor and I'm a fat asshole who brings down your property value, by all means be an asshole back to me.
I'm sorry, did those morons just compare me not giving some of my money (e.g. interest on mortgage) to welfare? Uhh...yeah. Pretty much ruins them as a source of any kind of information. See, the thing is I earned my money, then I also pay out welfare that goes to poor people. Anything less I can manage to pay in taxes is "welfare" as much as my not putting a gun in your face and stealing your money is "charitable" of me.
As for 1% - that's simply a lie. Many federal programs including various parts of medicare and medicaid are welfare. Anyone arguing it's 1% of the budget is a liar and/or a poor sophist.
I really don't understand the rationale of these people. You want governments to cut costs, but yet you advocate policies that would increase costs in the long run. What is it that you really want? I have a pretty good idea, but I still want to believe that people are fundamentally good, so I'm trying to not think about it.
Fundamentally good, huh? Is it fundamentally good to have 3 kids, have two taken away for abuse and neglect, then have 4 more you can't afford and won't take care of? We live in a fundamentally flawed system that will breakdown in the long term for a very simple reason. Go look at who's having babies and who's not. Look at education, income level, criminal background, etc... and tell me who's having babies. If you don't think we're fucked in 4-5 more generations anyway you're a total idiot.
It's collapsing for the same reason any socialist system in a large population will fail. They counted on "rich fat cats" too much for their tax money. It's easy to make lots of tax money when the rich play your game or when the rich make lots of money. When the economy takes a shit, though, or you overtax the wealthy and they clam up or move away from your state, you're _fucked_. That's why a sane tax system wouldn't be overly 'progressive' (a misnomer in common use, since any system based on percentages is progressive). Ergo, CA and NY. I'm glad it's happening, good luck f'ers. I just hope we learn the lesson before King Obama tries to do the same things at a federal level.
I agree, I'm getting shameful joy out of the problems NY and CA are having. What I'm afraid of, though, is people won't learn the lessons they should and the federal govt will have even worse problems than it already does.
Hmm. The price of freedom - I pay a little more in tax money or the government runs my life. Tough choice, asshole. Emergency care is about all we should provide for free, if that was all we did we'd have a fraction of the health care tax burden we do now.
God, where did all these assholes come out of the woodwork from? The only obligation I or the state has to give a shit about your property value is if I signed a HOA contract dictating proper upkeep of the property. The state isn't here to protect itself or to protect abstract "rights" to things it shouldn't be doing anyway, it's here to protect me from dipshits like you.
You're fucking kidding, right? This argument may work well on your fellow nanny state liberals, but the rest of us think you're an idiot. You are begging the question. "If those funds are spend on health care..". There's your problem - they shouldn't be. And if they are, it's your problem - not mine. In fact, when I'm old enough not to care I'm going to develop severe alcoholism, diabetes, and various other ailments just to make you assholes foot the bill.
That's because NYC is full of idiot leadership, just like most other Democrats. It sounds nice to make those "fat cats" who buy "yachts" pay more. The problem is they'll just take their money and not play the game. Fine, I won't buy a yacht - I'm still cool. How you doin' NYC, your income doesn't seem to have gone up, isn't that wacky?!
If you overtax any given area of the economy, be it rich people or poor people, they'll clam up and your tax income becomes wildly unstable. One year you are flush with cash (which you proceed to waste), then the next you have a huge deficit. That's why "tax the rich fat cats" mentality is laughably stupid.
