Simplicity. I hate MS to my very core, but I can whip up apps in C#.NET faster than I can in Java. 99% of the time I don't care about portability. I just care about getting things done on time. Of course, then there's the other times when I have to use MFC for various reasons, and that pretty much cancels out any gains I got from using C#.NET...
Moore: I'd ask you to sit down, but you're not going to anyway. And don't worry about the transitors.
Neo: What transitors?
[Neo doubles his transistor density]
Moore: Those transistors.
Neo: I'm sorry.
Moore: I said don't worry about it. I'll get one of my kids to fix it.
Neo: How did you know?
Moore: What's really going to bake your noodle later on is, would you still have doubled your transistor density if I hadn't said anything?
But your entire business model hinges on the patent office not reforming. I think this scheme was invented by the lawyers, them being the ones who will ultimately profit the most from this.
Since your budget is down a bit this quarter, you should just hire an H1-B immigrant to live in your POP shed 24/7 with a cellphone, a small ration of ethnic food, and a DVD of Little Superstar to keep his spirits up.
widespread perceptions that the nation's youths are continually on MySpace
What widespread group of people actually thinks this? I would love to see them back this up with valid statistical data. I think maybe it's "widespread perceptions [amongst the 4 computer-ignorant soccer moms at our office] that the nation's..."
1) Yahoo, 2) msn and 3) Google. Maybe all the people who visit the former two do so for the news, or the groups, or the mail, but I'm not sure your hypothesis is automatically valid.
That's perfectly valid, and that's exactly what I do. I use Yahoo exclusively for mail, groups, news, etc.. and I use Google exclusively for search and maps and maybe a few other things.

So why bother with .NET?

If it didn't, these guys are complete morons.
C'mon. This is the recording industry we're talking about here...
First they're against GTA and GHB, and then GMO, now GPA. What's next, GIF and GMT?
Everything Diebold does is borderline incompetence. I can't wait for these bozos to get out of this business and go back to making vending machines.
They mean, it makes it simpler for the consumer to hate the MPAA.
I would be more interested in a SuperDrive that supports both HDDVD and BR

Entropy isn't what it used to be.
Get with the times. White is the new black.

Don't even ask about what happens when you login while eating a bagel WITH a hangover
Logic and reason do not exist in this place
By progressive, I think he meant they were getting progressively idiotic.
That was over a year ago and despite two follow-up emails, I have never even got any acknowledgements from them, let alone a reply.
Don't worry, I'm sure you're on their watchlist now.
Well this is true of all patents, especially on Mars.
Is it fraud if there was evidence they knew about the prior art but applied for the patent anyway?
Fortunately, I don't live in the US so I don't care.
That's right, because patents only exist in the US.
We don't hold doors for each other. We cut each other off in traffic and give each other the bird.
Yeah, that's because for all I know you're on your way to get the last Wii on the shelf too. Fuck you, it's MINE!

At first I thought it said they wanted to ban:
DRM technology
free sampling of other artists' material
shortening the life span of copyright
Couldn't quite grok that..
They have moved to ArcCotangent which basically fucks you in the same bodily orifice, but from a different direction
