Give them to my ex-wife, and tell her that they somehow say that I said it makes her look fat. NOONE in the world will ever ever forget the contents of those disks ever for as long as the human race survives.
That would be incorrect, the magnetic bits on the disk can often be "weak" enough that it can't quite be read, but if you retry reading it often enough it may actually register correctly. Also, since the disk track may not be directly under the head, forcing the drive to change tracks and back can quite often put the bits that are weak to be directly under the head causing them to give just slightly stronger (correct) reading.
It's extremely time consuming, but it works quiet often.
You obviously haven't ever developed a.NET application. C# and VB run on the.NET Framework, and it's mentioned on both sides. The.NET Framework is the CLR (Which runs the actual applications), the BCL (Base class libraries), and optionally the FCL (Framework class libraries). It's literally impossible to run a C# or VB application and not use the.NET Framework. It's akin to saying the JVM is dead, but then Java is going great, or that CPUS are dead and computers are going strong.
Sorry, here's one architecture slide: http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/archslide.png that specifically shows.NET being for both desktop apps and Metro style apps.
I think you need to take a look at the architecture slides again. Look right in the middle under Metro style apps. They couldn't place it in any more of a central role THAN RIGHT IN THE CENTER.
Well it was an awesome deal for me since I never used their streaming anyhow, so I didn't like having to subsidize it through my subscription, and my DVD-only sub decreased in price.
Odd because my plan dropped significantly, enough that I switched to the 5 out at a time plan, which BB doesn't even offer. How the blockbuster streaming working for you btw?
Actually, DDR was never as fast as RDRAM, but it had better latencies. RDRAM was technically a better solution at the time, and becomes even more so as we scale up in processor frequency and number of cores, but the royalties (and memory manufacturers who colluded to ruin RDRAM through price fixing) killed it.
No, it didn't. First of all, the EU didn't exist when I was in school. Second of all, yes, I knew the EU isn't a country, but the retards that made slashdot forgot to add an edit, and instead of replying to myself, I assumed that most people (minus the oversensitive EUians) would figure it out. Sorry you got butthurt.
For all the butt hurt EUians, "Or you are in a 2nd rate country full of butt hurt people, like those from in the EU".
I think it's a great job. Starz has crap content anyhow, they can take it and go home... home with $0. Content providers complain that they are losing money, and yet they make enough to burn $300 million a year without a second thought? Lol! Good job netflix, please keep the content providers from raping you (and us by forcing you to raise prices to compensate). In fact, I agree with your stance so much, I just doubled the stocks I own in NFLX this morning.
Because if someone wants my code, they can get it from me. They don't need to get it from someone else that used it in their project. Code that I create and release to the public (which I have done many times), I do so because it's a useful piece of code that is (as far as I know) bug free, and it was probably fairly tricky to write. It's released so another developer who is writing a program can take advantage of it, whether it is to use it in it's entirety, modifying for their own needs, or just learning from it is fine by me. What I don't want is a programmer working on a commerical project to be unable to use it just because of some silly license. I *WANT* the code to be reused for the betterment of all, not some superior ideological philosophy that everyone should have access to the source code for everything in the world.
So if the parent company or author goes away, there is still the option of keeping the software up to date and working.
What are you, 10? I wasn't stating my opinion. I didn't say it was the best, nor I thought it was the best, merely that the general consensus was that it was the best. Take for example Inforworld's Technology of the year awards... Best IDE for any language was given to Visual Studio 2008.
Visual Studio stands alone as the preferred development environment for applications using Microsoft's.Net Framework, and it's peerless among IDEs for any language.
You may not like Microsoft (considering you appear to be a Java guy), but their development tools are absolutely world class and always have been. Even IntelliJ isn't up to Visual Studio, although they are catching up in features, but they typically are still a couple years behind. The features IDEA added in Dec 2010 for version 10 were available in Visual Studio 2002 (table editting, sql queries, code completion, integrated source control, detachable editor windows). Do the have database, table schema comparisions? Can it do performance profiling? Can you debug/step trace your SQL as it runs? Does your code completion use your comments/descriptions for your internal functions, properties, and methods? Can it do native code debugging (Machine Language/JBL/IL)?
Because it works, and there is more out there than just HTTP. This same approach will work for any protocol that uses DNS to resolve domain names. It also doesn't require a ton of server side hacks that need/should be implemented from all vendors. Easy fix, and quick to deploy requiring no end-user code/system changes. Seems like a no brainer to me.
How do they see it differently? That thread is about *VB6* applications (Which hasn't seen a release since June 1998 - 13 years!), using MDAC 2.8 which hasn't seen a release in 10 years (MDAC 2.7 -- the last non-bugfix/security fix version, was released October 2001). Make no mistake, Microsoft doesn't see it differently at all, otherwise it would have been regression tested before W7SP1 ever hit release candidate, and it wouldn't have sat for months without a fix.
MDAC? Really? MDAC has been on "phase out" since October 2001. We're in 2011, that's a pretty long time to keep compatibility with a product after it's been killed.

C# and VB run on the .NET Framework, so where you see those, that implies the .NET Framework.

They don't play with Intel at the high end in the desktop but then I don't know many people that pay $1000+ for a desktop CPU.

Nothing illegal about product tying -- unless you are a monopoly, and using the monopoly power to gain an advantage in a different market.
Or you are in a 2nd rate country, like the EU.
You are of course correct, and the submitter is just an open source troll.

So you are saying any "for profit" publication with any advertisers isn't credible. So that leaves what? Blogs? Wait. Small blogs?

That is what source code escrows are for.
And this is why I would never contribute to any GPL-licensed projects, while I would for BSD-licensed projects.

Your opinion does not form a general consensus, sorry.

I think the general consensus is that Visual Studio is the best IDE out there with Eclipse coming in second, and a bunch of also runs in the distance.
Larger market in what sense? You can keep deluding yourself into believing that the EU is a larger market, but in most cases it is not.
For example, only 15% of Oracles revenue comes from the EU (http://seekingalpha.com/article/173186-why-oracle-should-leave-europe-a-look-at-the-numbers), and Sun has more sales in the US than the EU (http://seekingalpha.com/article/173186-why-oracle-should-leave-europe-a-look-at-the-numbers).
