    You bloody moron, MySpace is way more than just www.myspace.com.

    In .NET it's called a Common Runtime Library, running MSLI code. (That sentence is analogous to "the Java Virtual Machine runs Bytecode"

    The big win in .NET is that there is built-in administrator controllable security (even pub/priv key security) between the CRL (or vm to you) and the internal .NET framework. In fact, there are several administrative controllable hooks built into the .NET framework that we just do not see in Java and Ruby and the others. This is the feature that separates .NET from the rest, and the rest of these frameworks are working to catch up. All modern languages are or should be moving into this direction. I predict that in 5 years the ONLY way you will be able to code to the WinOS is via the secure API that is .NET. (Assuming your programmers and admin teams understand .NET very well!)

    .NET is horrible at scaling (less you got a big hardware budget), so I see .NET all over the DoD and internal sites, but not so much for full-in internet sites where Java is winning in the top 10 (example, MySpace is a Java app).

    That was a very insightful comment; thanks for chiming in! Canvas is decent, but you need to program in the exploits. In a Canvas vs. Core test, I'm preferential to core - but some of my old-school risk assessment friends swear by Canvas.

    Do you have any Canvas vs. Core thoughts, oh wise Anonymous one?

    Leave it to Slashdot to comment on the CMS used to host an article and complain about the fact that TFA is still available *despite* the CMS chosen, rather than actually reading TFA.

    Thank you kindly, I'll take that as a compliment!

    At the time of my comment, when I tried to read TFA I was greeted by a Drupal database error screen, something I'm very familiar with since I'm developing one of the largest Drupal websites in the world at present. They must have fixed that problem since my comment. I honestly tried to read TFA but was unable to thanks in (small) part to Drupal, Slashdot, the hosting contract, the hardware used, etc...

    Drupal still sucks (4.6 really sucks, 4.7 still sucks, 5 sucks a little less), and so does your smarmy attitude, bucko!

    I hear you. What makes it work is that I have a very loving fiancee' who delivers coffee to my desk, lunch, hangs out and keeps me company and keep the house/office clean. It all works out. I could not do it alone, it does get isolating.

    Comon, we are Linux installing masters of our own domain. I've been working from home for 3+ years. I even took a paycut to telecommute at first, and once I proved my worth I politely demanded a raise via a subtle threat to quit like any good highly-skilled techie. This is the modern age, dot.com 2.0+. As long as you are a hard-working skilled techie, you can call the shots if you are somewhat reasonable.

    Bullshit! Managers need to participate in the design process of IT projects, especially applications that they their departments will be depending on. I hate managers who "iterate with programmers" on an actual application, spiral style - that is SO expensive and less secure (a highly refactored system is less secure that one that was done right the first time) You iterate with design docs, get involved early. Once you (as a manager) have a good design in play, then set your IT people loose. If you do not have at least a minimal understanding of the basics of how the web works, yet you are spending a million on a large enterprise web project, then shame on you or the board that hired you!

    Whoa, I lost 50 pounds swimming laps in my pool with a heart-rate monitor. Now the pool was slightly heated and was comfortable. I swam 30 minutes of laps daily. It was gentle on my joints unlike running. I felt great, lost weight fast, and actually got *lean*. Now I lift weights, I'm chubby again, but I'm strong and beefy. I think the best is a hybrid of swimming for cardio, weight lifting for muscle-mass, and a little yoga to stay flexible.
