    Good thing you can afford to invest, others might not be so lucky.
    besides it smells to me like the old:

    "if you can't beat 'em, join em'" argument.

    Which imho is immoral.

  6. Your point? on Linux Programmer's Toolbox · · Score: 1

    No thats why said that I think they're great as long as you know how the compilation process work.
    Was that some kind of attack on my person?.
    As previous posters suggested there are numerous IDEs for linux so your last question is irrelevant.
    But if people must have big and fullblow IDE to even consider coding for a platform I think they
    should reconsider their profession. Its not to much to ask for that a programmer knows how compilation work,
    we are not talking about the average joe user here.

  7. I dare say it on Linux Programmer's Toolbox · · Score: 1

    environments like visual studio DOES make budding coders dumber imho.

    The Visual IDE is just as valid a tool as everything else and if you know what goes on under the hood,
    thats perfectly fine.

    I've just seen to many people posting to mailinglists/forums with linker errors (especially places
    like the libSDL list to give an example) they could have easily fixed themselves, if they had a clue
    on how the compiler toolchain works, on each step of the process.

    other than that im perfectly cool with IDE's. Right now im using netbeans with the C++ pack or KDE's Kate editor (why
    they removed projectmanagement for session management is beyond me).

    No VI or Emacs for me thank you very much.

  8. sounds like linux would be right for you on Justice Dept. Defends Microsoft Against Google · · Score: 1

    You should really give linux a try mate. Programs won't pull that shit on you. Another benefit is that you get rid of all the "control centers", oh why must every piece of windows software install its own huge and bloated "center/agent" running in the tray?.

    on the other hand, you're one of those chaps who can't standing reading more than 2 lines of text on the screen, perhaps you
    wouldn't like linux.

    Hey I was drunk, which in my culture, is a valid excuse for almost anything ;).
    Anyway you're right and my apologies to the GP, I just hate when people don't back/explain their claims (at least when I don't agree with them).

  12. perhaps but its still fucking annoying on Microsoft and LG Electronics Sign Linux Covenant · · Score: 1

    Software patents are a bad idea, as such I wouldn't devote time trying to code workarounds for otherwise
    fine code. Just because the US legal system is fucked up and allow corporations to extort money from you because
    they have some very abstract idea on a paper which vaguely describes what your code does.
    I mean what a waste of work when it should be clear everyone that your patent laws must be changed.

  21. Re:Lesson on The Story Behind a Windows Security Patch Recall · · Score: 2, Informative

    "They should have simply got rid of the magic naming system in favor of something explicit, such as a Shell Extension Interface that a shell extension must fully implement." Seems to me like they had, how would you implement plugins otherwise?. The problem is that if explorer loads these plugins (which do adhere to an interface) and they do something stupid, explorer will hang, since it is the host process. This is bad since explorer.exe on windows is responsible for running the shell.
    Therefore they choose to make a separate process (that vert something exe) try and load the plugin and run some tests. Questionable heuristics I agree, but giving those circumstances, I can't come up with any other way of doing it.
    The magic names are used for creating instances of COM objects which as far as I know both KDE and Gnome also use in the form of DCOP and DBUS.
