Good god, shut the fuck up you insufferable douche. Omg the sky is falling, the sky is falling! You sound like an AGW denier pretending that "climategate" means AGW is a "lie". No, it doesn't.
You're a hyperbolic twit. The USA is evil, but... Iran - they're OK? Turky? Saudi Arabia? Italy?
Nobody with any sense puts any stock in your fucking paranoid hippie delusions. The USA certainly isn't perfect, but it's also not the dystopian hellhole your overly active imagination has apparently made it out to be.
Jesus Tapdancing Christ. You're seriously wanting to apply monopoly laws to fucking _games_? We truly live in an era of entitlement, it just amazes me. Now a developer can literally have a "monopoly" on a single god damn game?! Some of you people are nucking futs.
Yeah, because nobody knows about Apple already. That idiotic saying only applies to some entity with low name recognition or stale name recognition. Once literally every person who could conceivably buy your produce knows you exist, it's not true at all.
Expect a few hilarious "You and (lololo) the OTHER WP7 phone user (lololol/smirk)" comments to follow your comments. Personally I hope WP7 takes off just to wipe the smug, knowing grins off their stupid faces.
Python is still a scripting language and has all the baggage that comes along with such for larger programs. Let me guess - you come from a system admin background?
She's not homely. She's not wearing much, if any, makeup and her skin's not nearly as bad as you think.
Her body is a solid 8-9 and her face a 6 or 7. I'd give her an overall 7.5.
Being a pig, I judge women by their looks just as much as you do, I'm just not an idiot about it. She's very attractive, and if she was dolled up you'd quickly change your tune. Sure, she's no Victoria's Secret bimbo, but she's hot.
Rick Perry is from Texas, and suddenly we have a spate of articles about how awful Texas is.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't vote for that bible thumping nimwit in a million years. He's Dubya++ with even fewer brain cells, as are most of the front-runners in the Republican party right now.
But it's fairly obvious what the agenda of this article is.
Your point is risible. Thin is an obviously desirable attribute, it's been the trend in laptops, phones, everything else. Your idiocy is in claiming that companies don't naturally compete.
Say I release a product that weighs 2 pounds, and it costs me $20 to make. I can make a 1.8 pound product for $30, but I don't - less profit margin. Suddenly my competitor releases one that weighs 1.9 pounds. Now I might decide I need to go to my 1.8 pound version, and quick, to compete.
Nobody's fucking "copying" anybody else, genius - this is how business works.
Samsung did not reproduce the iPad. It's their own design, their own hardware, their own software. Apple is suing because it's "like" theirs, just like theirs is "like" tablets from 10 years ago.
Yawn, more fucking lies and rabble rousing. Even after all that stuff the wealthy pay more taxes as a percentage of income, though it's at least closer to equity. And let's not forget the fucking wastes who pay $0 and actually derive money _from_ the government, that's a good sizable chunk.
Yes, even after the mythical "tax deductions". No matter how many times you say "fat cat", it won't change the fact that the rich pay the bills around here, _and_ they pay the salaries of the rest of us.
I find your pathetic rhetoric laughable. Frankly I'm glad the wealthy have disproportionate power. If comes down to a numbers game. The rabble have the numbers and the vote, the rich have the voice and the political power. If the rabble start tipping the balance and taking more and more money from people who work, we're fucked.
I realize that's your wet dream, for the poor people to rise up and use their larger numbers to make radical changes. Too bad it'll never happen - poor people (as a class, not individuals) are fucking stupid and will never rise up or do anything of worth as they're by definition lazy and useless. The only thing the poor class (again, not individuals - many poor individuals are exceptional human beings) is good for is spitting out children they can't take care of.
Wait, so you mean upper-lower and lower-middle class people don't have 50" TVs and phones in their hands that are more powerful than any computer anyone had in 1979? That's amazing to me, I must be on a constant LSD binder and imagining these things, eh?
If you change the metric so arbitrarily then you can prove just about anything you want. The simple fact is that the average person today making the average income is better fed, has better housing, has more of the niceties of life, better health care, etc.. than they did in 1979.
I find it ironic that the supposed non-materialistic left wing measures things by how much "standardized buying power" one has. Fucking ridiculous.
What's your point? You seriously think the "poor illegals" won't get their free health care as well? Or their children? We have a population of poor people larger than most of the countries in the EU. Things won't work the same way here.
Ahh, the wealth distribution lie. The middle class is better off now than it was 40 years ago. The poor are better off as well. Let's say the richest 1% of the population move out of the country, suddenly our wealth distribution looks a lot more fair in the US, right? But how is that meaningful?
Whining about income distribution is just something stupid people do to rouse the rabble.
.NET isn't intended for system programming. It's intended for enterprise/LoB apps, Windows Phone, traditional desktop apps, etc... Try writing a large distributed application in C++, unless you absolutely need extreme high performance (real time, e.g. trading app or something like that), you don't know what you're doing if you use C++ instead of.NET (or Java, I guess).
If people are using C++ for these types of apps either they have specialized needs or they just don't know what they're doing and like to spend 2X the time developing shit.
But C# has null. Just because you have value types/nullable/(int?) doesn't mean null can be easily dispensed with in a language with the concept of "a reference to something". That's just a difference between value types and reference types, and C# supports both.
Unless you want to pass huge objects around, you "need" references. I put quotes around need as I'm sure there's some fancy solution, but why bother.
They're expensive, but nowhere near as expensive as SSD. I guess if performance is that important, it makes sense but how many Ebay/Google/Amazon situations are there out there?

Debt Deal Reached

Total rubbish. By all means we need to cut defense spending, maybe 10% now and 10% over the next 20 years. That won't do _shit_ for our budgetary problems, it's a drop in the bucket, contrary to left wing talking points.
Bullshit lies. We can pay our debts with or without raising the debt ceiling. We have enough monthly income to pay for it plus most other essential shit.
It's kind of like some relative threatening that if you don't loan him $500 he can't pay his power bill, meanwhile he goes out and spends $50 a month on Starbucks, $100 on high end dogfood, $75 on movies, $200 on eating out, etc...
For example, in the case of Aspex Eyewear v. Clariti Eyewear,[6] eyeglass frame maker Aspex sued competitor Clariti for patent infringement. Aspex waited three years to assert its patent in litigation, however, and, during this prolonged silence, Clariti expanded its marketing and sales of the accused eyeglass frames. The Federal Circuit found Aspex guilty of misleading conduct because it led Clariti to believe it would not enforce its patent, and thus Aspex was estopped and could not proceed with the suit.
This has nothing to do with any technical knowledge or implications. Sun could claim that he was implying that it would not pursue any patent litigation.
Oh, good. The Alpha fanboys have made an appearance!
What is with you old farts? The Alpha was a good chip at the time, but that was a long fucking time ago. Intel took the goodness out and it's in other, much superior designs now.
Mostly, those of us who aren't old farts are sick of fucking hearing about the god damn Alpha. Jesus Tapdancing Christ.

Lol - "compete". Uhh, who exactly do you think is winning the console war? Right now - not 1 year ago, btw, and here's a hint: It's not Nintendo.
