You don't abandon a runtime environment, you abandon a product. The product they abandoned happened to be developed on.NET and the new one on Linux (why are we comparing.NET with Linux, they are not the same type of thing, btw).
Point is that platform choices are vastly subordinate to architecture, design, and implementation.
Fail. The upcharge on additional usage is because you want a predictable data rate. If you just make it all the same fucking price why have a cap at all? It would be silly.
Sorry, your asshole's attempt at pedantry is a fail. It's bandwidth. Alas for the pedant, the current prevailing usage of a word defines its primary meaning.
Nah. You could game "OK" on the 39" Seiki which is pretty cheap. Once they start making HDMI 2.0 models you'll see 30" 4K monitors for $700 by early next year.
Of course it's come far in the last 18 years. Last 2 years? Not so much. In fact GPU advancement have been _pathetically_ slow.
The Xbox One and PS4, for example, will be good at 1080p but ultimately only a few times faster than the previous generation consoles. Same thing with PC graphics cards. Good luck gaming on a high resolution monitor spending less than $500. Even Titan and SLI are barely sufficient for good 4K gaming.
The LSE didn't abandon.NET, they abandoned the shitty implementation they were given that happened to be on.NET.
.NET will scale _massively_ if you do it right. You could write a trading platform in super-modern C++ or OCaml or whatever the trendy kids are using these days and it could still perform like shit if it's not designed correctly.
I have always felt that C#/.Net was not going to be around for long, and it seems I was right.
Says the guy who has no idea what a huge chunk of back-end enterprise and e-commerce services are written in.
C#/.NET are very nearly the perfect language/runtime for enterprise applications and frankly most client/server apps. When I have to work on some Open Source stuff in Python I feel like I'm slumming, badly. I mean what a fucking mess.
Suddenly 400 million dollars disappearing in nanoseconds
Oh, you don't say? It just disappeared, huh?
Here's a clue - it didn't disappear. Somebody made money off their mistake. So I fail to see what the issue is you are all whining about. A company messed up and paid a huge price for that error, and someone else profited from it.
Hubris from Oracle only? What about the Open Source people who think they can always outdo a large, focused corporation like Oracle or MS? Hubris runs both ways.
Bullshit. Everything has a price, and it's not "money" it's labor. According to your logic we should spend $10M treating an 85 year old man on his last legs who gets cancer, right? Laughable.
I agree in general with universal care, but trying to pretend money means nothing is facile. Money is a proxy for all the labor and training that goes into doctors and the equipment/drugs/support they use.
Since this whole thing was a gift to the insurance industry
Laughable bullshit. Why do you and your ilk keep peddling that line? So let me get this straight. Insurance companies must now cover anyone, at any time, with a fairly extensive list of covered items and strict price controls and this is a gift to them? I mean I get it, you think that everyone having to buy insurance will somehow equal it out, when common sense and what they call "math" shows that it clearly will not, especially with such a small fine..sorry "tax" for people who don't buy insurance.
You sound fairly ridiculous. And before you start blathering to me about being a bagger and whatnot, I'm actually for a sane form of single payer system for universal care.
The ACA act is a hideous compromise that is clearly an attempt to destroy the insurance industry, which it will do eventually.
Just make it fucking stop. As someone who works in a Fortune 100 company and deals with this bullshit - just stop. None of it is cool, and none of it helps the bottom line. It's just bullshit the higher ups think up to seem like they're doing something valuable.
I'll take a page from Office Space.
When you come in on Monday, and you sit down at your computer does anyone try to get you to play the most boring fucking "game" in the world to get you to do stupid shit that contributes to meaningless metrics?
No. No man. Shit no man.I believe you'd get your ass kicked saying something like that, man.
So ATI put this in because DVI does not carry audio. Period. It's not part of the spec.
Now, if you use an HDMI-DVI adapter it _can_ carry it in a nonstandard way. But since your video card doesn't know if you're connected to a DVI device or an HDMI adapter, what the fuck happens?
Maybe nothing. Or maybe it completely fucks your video connection to some DVI devices. I suppose these whining bitches complaining about this didn't bother to test that though. "Well, works fine! I mean I get audio with my HDMI-DVI cable on my device I'm using, so there can be no reason other than shenanigans that AMD did this!".
Probably it won't affect anything, because it's a bunch of nonsense and bullshit. Some random NVidia employee claims it's for feature parity in some random unofficial thread somewhere. If you look at the thread, another user calls bullshit because he's doing exactly what the OP wanted in Windows anyway.
It's bullshit, and hence this Slashdot article is bullshit.
Making a Linux Jihad off of an offhand, unofficial comment on a forum somewhere by "some NVidia employee" as evidence that The Man is out to get Linux. Nevermind that someone later in the thread says they _are_ using 4 monitors in Windows and that the whole thread really has no substance.
Yeah, that's a great idea if you're a) a hosting provider or b) a security researcher. Ignore the problem and prevent your users from easily reaching their hosts.
You cracked the fucking case, Murder She Wrote's Angela Lansbury.

You have your own person ISP? Amazing!
It's not just you, it's all of their subscribers in aggregate.

stop saying bandwidth, please. It is wrong.
Sorry, your asshole's attempt at pedantry is a fail. It's bandwidth. Alas for the pedant, the current prevailing usage of a word defines its primary meaning.
Exactly. Someone valued those stocks and had the disposable income to purchase them.
Nah. You could game "OK" on the 39" Seiki which is pretty cheap. Once they start making HDMI 2.0 models you'll see 30" 4K monitors for $700 by early next year.

Lol, who made you the Value Police? I see no value in about 75% of the things people do. What value is created by selling a baseball card for $2M?

Lolwut? Why the fuck would you fine them, isn't losing half a billion dollars pretty much a built-in consequence?
Lol, you mean making a device smaller by cutting down on battery size is impressive engineering? Lolzers, you are easily impressed.
Please. TFS 2010 Is very good. TFS 2012 is excellent.
I just hope it's before they run out of cash to run operations...
Lolwut? Yeah, umm, that's not even remotely a concern.

No, culture and upbringing affects one's behavior, you stupid asshole.
