And what triple A games are even written in HTML/JS? If native isn't up to the task, then HTML/JS certainly ain't because HTML/JS is hosted in a browser that runs natively. That was his whole point. Furthermore, I have witnessed hundreds of

Here are a few big ones: 1. Abstractions that make sense, that are not built up from hacks, but are core to the platform itself. That is my number one peeve about the web. Like I said in my original post, I want to specify "grid columns=3"

You can have my native SDKs when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers. I don't care what you say - I will find a market that I can develop native apps for or I will quit being a developer. That is how much I think HTML/CSS/JS suck for fr

This sounds somewhat specious. What are you doing with the large or numerous set of files? How big or how many files are we talking about?

* You get enough static analysis so that broken code won't compile. * Testing can be done through other tools such as Nunit. * With VS2012, you get extensions developed by Microsoft, such as NuGet.

Couldn't we start a co-op where every member user/company/organization owned the servers? That way nobody is hosting on a third-party server where the federal government feels that they have eminent domain?

Google's default new-tab page has always seemed "salesy" to me. I use Speed Dial 2 as my new-tab page, so I didn't even see this.

And the cliches and Prudishness of one specific society do not universal "basic human decency" constitute. Just wanted to highlight this response from coldtea below because it's spot on.

I have a problem: People don't take conspiracy facts and theories seriously. I also think this is a much, much bigger problem than sexism in the workplace. Will you stop what you're doing and work on my problem? EDIT: You're welcome to work

First of all, these people preemptively forked Open Office on September 28, 2011 after Oracle purchased Sun "over concerns that Oracle would either discontinue OpenOffice.org". They didn't wait until Oracle announced a discontinuation. Then

I prefer people who are accepting of other's perceived faults. Take you, for example. You are obviously a bigoted asshole , but that doesn't mean that you might not have some decent programming skills or that we don't have anything in

I could be wrong, but - I thought Oracle did release the entire project, but they didn't move quick enough for the Libre Office devs who wanted it right away. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/oracle-gives-openoffic...

Along similar lines - the name is terrible. Open Office was so much better.

You should really read about Operation Mockingbird. I was just listening to WBAI on my way to lunch and they were talking about it along with MK Ultra and Operation Northwoods. These are not conspiracy theories, these are facts.

Joel, you said "They can opt me into a contract that I didn't agree to", but are you sure that you didn't implicitly/legally agree to something that says they can do that? Maybe their Terms of Service?

However, if I want to own a pony I certainly have the option of purchasing one. 2-5 are perfectly reasonable offerings and the corporations that control the data pipes have all accepted our tax breaks which contribute to them being able t

I have no problem targeting Silverlight because Silverlight is not the "stack" in that case. XAML and .NET are, both of which are viable for the foreseeable future. Any other examples?

What "whole technology stack" has Microsoft invalidated? How is Cocoa still alive and kicking? How is that different from something like VB6?

They are all the same in many respects though. Do any of them offer true unlimited data? Tethering? Usage of unlocked phones? Decent coverage? Data privacy?

The problem becomes obvious when you discover that there's no place to move in order to own. When you have no choice, are you really renting or are you a serf? Even if you think that you own your phone, you still have to get it onto a netwo

How can anyone build a serious front-end without proper keyboard support? Every single one of these new-fangled web UI kits is missing this important feature and if you're going to do it at all, it really does need to be a core consideratio

Of course JSON caught on with startups who are mostly targeting web users, whose programmers are mostly web developers who write a lot of Javascript. XML is used for far more than just APIs though. However, I suspect that you personally wer

I don't think so. BASIC has much simpler syntax than Javascript. It's got clearly defined and easy to understand rules. It typically runs in a "pure" environment that you won't have to fight with (as compared to "the browsers"). Furthermore

I disagree that JSON has "liberated" most of the programming world from XML. In many, many, many places where XML has been used in the past, it is still used because JSON is a very poor substitute in those cases.
