Hundreds of users? Lol. No, I'm talking thousands. You develop web apps. You use a Java or.NET backend, and something like JSF, ASP.NET, MVC, or Silverlight for the front-end. Unless you're a glutton for punishment you don't write a lot of raw HTML/Javascript, though Jquery seems to have its place.
How did this long, rambling, factually inaccurate glob of nonsense get modded up?.NET isn't going anywhere. You're just a UNIX dinosaur trying to blather on about how the primitive tools you write to develop primitive applications are so stable. Congratulations on that, btw. And I have no problem with UNIX, I just find the old school who never bothered to learn anything outside their little domain but still knock it to be risible.
Here's a clue - you're not a fucking COM developer, you're a C++ or.NET or (other) developer who uses COM technology. Here's another clue - it's still around and you can use it if you want.
I'm glad, though, you can spend 10X as much time writing an app in C/C++ and using (lol) your read(2) and write(2) calls.
I'll be back to mock you in 10 years when.NET 8.0 is being released, btw.
No, because they looked at Windows 8. And because anybody who's not, literally, mentally defective knows Microsoft isn't going to abandon.NET. You have to be a little smarter (say, 105 IQ) to know they're not going to abandon Silverlight, so I'll cut you a little slack there.
The idea is ridiculous. You seriously think people are going to write complex end user and enterprise apps in JS/HTML5? Seriously?
They violated no laws, liar. They violated post-facto decisions about what they could and could not do. As simple proof of this, find me any law stating explicitly that what Microsoft specifically did was illegal. There are none.
The law was basically "don't do bad shit", and then a bunch of bureaucrats get to decide later if you did "bad shit".
They're not dropping Silverlight or.NET. Try to pay attention. Nobody with any sense ever thought they were going to, but the usual suspects took every opportunity to make a "Durr hurr, Microsoft screwing over developers" thing out of it when there was no indication whatsoever this would happen.
Nobody sane wants to develop large applications in fucking native JS and HTML5, and Microsoft knows that.
The failure is that the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt (among others) exist. Tesla is fucked, they can't compete with large automakers. Their best bet is to be bought out because otherwise their only survival line will be naive investors (like the dumbass US government).
It's a sign of impending collapse because Tesla is doomed to fail. I don't really get the soft spot Slashdot has for Tesla. Any fool could see their entire business plan was silly. They planned on being a boutique electric car provider at a time when there weren't many other options. There are tons of options now and they'll be facing competition even in the high end from other, larger auto makers before long.
Sorry, Slashdot. Tesla is and always was doomed to failure.
I know, those crazy ass yanks have the audacity to try to extradite people for committing serious crimes. Craziness, I tells ya! I mean, who does they think they are??!!?!
It amuses me when the Utopians compare the US to tiny little countries like Denmark and, well, Canada or Britain even. They are small countries with an entirely different population dynamic. We have 300,000,000 people in the US. We have a much higher percentage of people who won't work. We have a huge, apparently encouraged influx of poor people into the country from our Southern border.
Making snide comments about how these wonderful EU countries manage it adds nothing to the conversation because it's an apples to scalpels comparison.
Life expectancy is not a measure of medical care quality - it's a measure of life expectancy. A US citizen with decent health insurance has access to the best medical care in the world. Our stats look bad for social reasons and because the people at the very bottom get shit health care.
You get what you pay for. Our only issue is filling in the gaps - provide minimal adequate care for people who can't afford insurance. Like anything else, if you make more money you should have access to better health care.
Also, processing power doesn't matter. Even if we had computers 1,000,000 faster than this that used 50W of power we couldn't simulate a brain. We don't have the model to do so.
Yeah.. you do know those zombies were in few, if any cases, due to security holes in MS products right? If some asshole asks another asshole "Hey, run this", and asshole the second follows asshole the first's advice and runs it, that's not really MS's fault.
You poor deluded soul. I really find your types just to be hilarious because you're so sure your crusty old opinions are so correct and the rest of the industry are just a bunch of plebs. First, IMAP can be enabled in Exchange. Second - Exchange supports far more than just mail/calendaring and can be integrated with a huge range of communications software.
In short, like most zealots, you don't know what you're talking about. Your risible zealotry has prevented you from learning anything outside of your pathetic little computing niche, so anything you comment on outside of that niche can be immediately discarded as meaningless.
Now please return to your newsgroups where you can share an exciting scheme to use 'filter' to forward your mail to your ca. 1995 beeper.
You know you sound like a total tool, right? I mean, just making sure. Most humorous of all is that you think "IMAP" is a product or application and that Exchange is just a mail server.
But rock on, El Penguinario! 2012, year of Linux in the Enterprise space!!!!
[That last part was sarcastic, by the way. I'm mocking you.]
Ahh hand waving. The last resort of scoundrels and half-wits. Why, since you say it's "insecure by default", you totally redeemed yourself! Hard to argue with those facts.
Don't be daft. Silverlight does not allow a developer to directly send code to the graphics driver for execution. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Yeah... no. Microsoft implements their own shit, they control it, and they can secure it. WebGL would be a glut of browsers sending shit haphazardly to the graphics drivers, God knows wtf will happen.
I also find it laughable that people think a company should just bend over and take it in the ass when an "Open Standard" comes out. What if I have a better solution to a problem? Ohhh noooo!! You must use this (dramatic music) duh-duh-duh!!! STANDARD!
Well... no. They don't have to. Sometimes standards suck and should be shunned. Sometimes (not always), standards are anathema to innovation.
Wow, welcome to 1998! Microsoft puts a tremendous effort into security now, and they are very good at it. Not flawless by any means, but "credibility" doesn't mean what you think it means. Microsoft is extremely credible in the security space. They've learned the hard way.
Yeah, first of all Rodney King needed a beating he was acting crazy and resisting arrest. Second of all, no matter what your viewpoint on the matter (PC, or reality-based), rioters throwing rocks at police and rampaging down the streets is a different thing.
That's my point. You overestimate government's role in the economy. I don't expect Obama to have fixed everything, nor do I blame previous administrations for our condition. Greed drives the machine, and it ended up costing people. This is normal and expected. The correct response is to live through it, learn from it, and move on.
I really wonder what the big government assholes will say in 20 years when we're in a whole shitload of trouble and we're going the way of Greece (and the rest of the EU, before long)? Fortunately for you that's a long term cost, short term you can bloviate about how we have to keep the pyramid scheme that is the US government growing and growing.

As opposed to all those MFC apps I wrote 15 years ago, which no longer work. Oh, wait... they do work.

Nice try, but facts exist in a vacuum. Nobody but anti-MS neckbeards thinks the way you describe.

Lame. In that case you're right, if I was one of those cops I wouldn't lift a fucking finger. Let them destroy the city.
