    he said. "I worked 14-hour days for two and a half years,"

    Get that man a beer.

  4. Re:QuestHelper on Blizzard Asserts Rights Over Independent Add-Ons · · Score: 1

    This fucking sucks. Quest Helper is one of the best mods out there. Your solicitation for donations is FAR FAR from annoying or inappropriate. It turns my vision red to think of these rules driving people like you out of business. BLIZZARD: THEY HELP ME. THEY HELP YOU. THEY MAKE A LIVING. CALL OFF THE GOD DAMNED JACKBOOTS. BULLSHIT. Where the hell can I nagware Blizzard to death about this issue?

  5. Re:Swap? on Can SSDs Be Used For Software Development? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I Have the 80 gig MLC SSD from intel, and it's not junk. It's freaking fast.

  6. Re:The cameras do nothing on A Surveillance Camera On Every Chicago Street Corner? · · Score: 1

    When I got the bag back a 300 pound lens was missing.

    That's one heavy lens!

  7. Re:I hate to say it... on Pirate Bay Day 3 — Defense Requests Dismissal · · Score: 1
    My good sir, allow me to introduce you to the Cosmos.

    There hasn't been a coherent argument made about copyright on Slashdot ever. It boils down to greed on both sides, and people screaming why their greed is more important to satisfy. It's like a cosmic joke, only it's too stupid to be cosmic.

  8. Re:a bunch of questions on C# In-Depth · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ehh? You do realize that VB.Net is not VB6. When you choose to not use the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace, which merely contains an abstraction layer to allow VB6 programmers to be more comfortable in .Net, it actually hardly merits the name VB.

    For the most part, the only differences between c# and vb.net are syntax. Begin...End, For...Next control structures rather than brackets is the biggest difference.

    I wrote c# at my last job for a couple of years. At my current shop, they're a vb shop and brought me in to bring things up to .Net. Since all the current devs were vb6 devs, they wanted the easiest path for them to migrate into .Net, thus I had to start working in VB.Net. At first, I dreaded it..but very quickly realized that it's all just .Net, and the VB.Net and C# languages are very comparable, both being just as easy to work in.

    Bottom line, you like curly braces? Use c#. Don't care? Then use whichever you like.

    So true. I use both C# and VB .Net. It blows my mind how the ignants out there blast VB.Net, while happily code away in C#, a language that at best is slightly syntactically dissimilar. Actually I guess it doesn't. Ignorance is ignorance after all.

  9. Re:Danger to publishers? on Microsoft Joins Yahoo! Book Search Plan · · Score: 1

    To be fearful of something because it might be mis used, or not technically perfect out of the gates is silly. The idea ist gut. The result will be good. Embrace the goog-oply.
