    But the rich don't need a tax break. So why not push up the level where you start paying taxes. (Where you stop getting all your withholdings refunded come tax time) By your argument cutting taxes for the rich really don't stimulate the economy. (your just padding savings accounts)

    Again there is a fully featured free version of Visual Studio. Read past comments before you make unintelligent and now unoriginial responses.

    FOSS is a movement not a plug in for Visual Studio. Of course as you well know you can check in code to Subversion if that what is your talking about? What would hold you back from checking in files does file exployer scare you?:) From looking at http://open-source.open.collab.net/open-source.htm l what google churned up when I searched for 'FOSS Development': I am not sure which plug in your talking about or if you understand what a IDE plug-in is. FOSS seems to not be a very major movement considering the randomness google brings up. You think the organizers of FOSS would of least made a site for it.

    Maybe you could be less vague. Currently you seem not to have a point. Except throwing a random acronym at me and hoping that I'll go man he sure is smart. pfft. So yea I don't think not having a point should effect peoples use of superior product.

    To whoever rates comments this person is ignorant of Microsofts new programmer ecosystem. Including offering fully featured Express Editions of Visual Studio by language. So again RTFM ID10T: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/ default.aspx

    Some Linux user wrote: Put it this way - if someone offered you a moderately featured family sedan for free, would you turn it down because you'd rather buy a formula 1 car that can go 80mph faster? ## So let me get this straight you want me to use a semi finished (inferior) product when I can download a finished one for the same price. Hmm let me think here. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/ default.aspx .... NO. The express editions have all the feature you care about. They just don't let you integrate with enterprise grade project management features such as Team System or use 3rd party plugins. For 95% of academic users this is a non-issue.

  8. Joel is just a few screen shots away from a point on Why Vista Took So Long · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not to marginalize Joel or anything, but you can configure all behaivors. Like if you want your computer to sleep on shut lid it will. The default is it sleeps. Forcing it to one would be dumb. Take my case: I have dual monitors at home not using my laptops LCD. I want my lid closed my cat sleeps on it:) It was a really simple change to make. While someone else would want it to just turn off. MOST people just want it to sleep as they walk to class or between clients. You can have it do whatever you want. Why should microsoft decide what is best for me? That's what Joel is suggesting. Saying Vista sucks cause you don't like how they did the UI design of the power off buttons is kinda like complaining you don't the ash tray design in a BMW. And his comment about how he rather restart than log off a user and on as another is ignorant of the majority of the PC market. Most people it takes a minute or more to boot up. The log off and shut down are far more graceful in Vista. The user is finally in total control. The user could bring it down at break neck speed or save open documents without this enforced deadline XP caused. Maybe we should educate the user about a smart product instead dumbing down the product for ignorance we percieve in a user.

  10. Re:Arghmen on PHP 5.2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Umm PHP does not make good egineering practice. You hit walls as you code. Naming conventions are not standardized throughout the frame work. Modulazation in PHP is what duct tape is to home repair.

    Biggest hit:
    PHP is interpretted not compiled and there is no other option besides third party wrapping of compiled code.

    In ASP.NET for example I can precompile my site in DLLs to whatever degree I am comfortable with. So if I want my Data Access layer locked down after a certain phase I can keep my junior developers out of the code. Not to mention the speed difference. Even at a surfacy judgement precompiled has to be faster than interpretted language. ASP.NET is also a more mature product in features it offers. What I can't believe is that you need a function to turn a carraige return into a <br> and it is <br /> by the way :P

    In C# I could do this with the string libary:
    string mystr = "Some string with breaks";
    //just to give reference for people that have never seen C#
    mystring = mystring.Replace("\r\n", "<br />");

    Notice also C# does not have a silly function name like nl2br(). I avoid any language that does not have a professional standardized naming convention. It points to bigger problems with the language. If they can't be professional about naming what else do they mess up?

    Using windows over Linux does not make you stupid. It is also not stupid to use windows. I think making things easy for any user should be a goal not a draw back like you try to pass off as a 'no duh' assumption. nuff said

    Yes Sir. All Database enabled sites do this. They may later prune the older deleted files. But to always delete when the user says delete would cause uneeded upload time to be taken by the user is the yanker later decides it is not needed. If you are youtube afterall by definition you have more storage than US Liabary of Congress.

  13. A response to claims made by the Article's author on Why Microsoft Can't Compete With iTunes · · Score: 1

    Hate to call a party line mac user what he is but consider these points: Apple Keyboards have Apple keys. Apple hardward all have Apple Logos on them. Apple is proprietary and hardware is sold specifically for the apple pc/laptop. So by nature they are exclusive on their hardware. If Open GL is so great why does Microsoft have a stangle hold with their direct X. If they can compete in that space against EVERYONE else why shouldn't they? Adobe is sueing microsoft for adding "Save as PDF". Guess who is in bed with Adobe? Ipod charges .99 cent a song regardless of use. Urge a microsoft/MTV backed product offer full rights for the same price you guessed it .99 cents and it can be burned to CD Rom. So what was your point about itunes being a freer medium? Their price model is the same. So really your stomp dance amounts to Mac cult propaganda that is not factual and does not mention the mirror image of strategic moves used by Apple. This is the mark of bad journalism.

  15. Well Aren't you Missing the Point on Podcasts of University Lectures? · · Score: 1

    Why try to limit access, and I can't underline and bold this enough, who PAID for the content. You should encourage people to use your new service not think of ways to limit use. Usually when one thinks of user experience the goal is to add flexibility not assume a certain paridigm. If I am attending a lecture on Philosophy for example. Whether I listen to it in the comfort of my dorm room or in the narrow seats of the lecture hall should be of no concern of the school. I think it is pretty safe to assume the student is some how paying for this service, so why limit them. Let the Grade do the talking. If attendance is of importance guess who should enforce that. (Yes not the Pod Cast Website:)
