First, my post gives no judgement on Prism or other program positive or negative. Yes, it does. You said, "...the surveillance programs are not evil either." Also, you said "...the primary goal of these programs is to save

You complain about poor reporting and then you continue on to make a number of claims that are completely unsupported. - Snowden is certainly not a traitor - His life and freedom hang in the balance. - the surveillance programs are not

Wearing a bluetooth headset is not required to use a cell phone though. It's optional. Also, how much have they really proliferated? I don't see them very often in my slice of suburbia.

So, Linus Torvalds showed up in the list of people under the link that says "Join the list -->". I highly doubt that he signed up for this event. I could be wrong, but if not - why the chicanery? Honesty is the best policy.

The tone was sarcastic and not directed at the developer. I don't mind that. How constructive it was is completely subjective. How am I the one derailing here? I didn't start on this topic. If I'm derailing, so are you. You c

Awesome! I've been looking for a project like this for a small app and have been exploring things like EJDB and UnqLite, among others. I'll definitely be checking this out. Thanks.

The goodness of that reason is highly debatable.

Well, I disagree that the original comment was "tearing people down". I find it incredible constructive to reflect on the reality of a given situation. What he said was not disparaging to the developer - it seemed more pointed t

Maybe, maybe not. One thing we can both be positive about though is that comments complaining about other comments create more noise than signal. In any case - was the original/root comment here really that bad? Honestly...

I don't understand why "not being on github" is a problem. Codeplex has an issue tracker and the Typescript repo is a git repo. What can't you do?

All of those kits still work though and will continue to work for a long, long time. More than a decade, probably two. And...at least 3 of them are better kits than the unholy triumvirate of html, js and css. As a developer in the Microsoft

It's pretty horrible. I'm not even sure that's what it's called because I can't find the actual word "acute" on that page. Furthermore - look at what they have to resort to calling it in code, on the comma

The name of something makes a big difference in the USA though. If it sounds ridiculous or has a non-obvious pronunciation, people won't take it seriously. Rationalize all you want...the issue makes it a non-starter for many people.

Yeah, but most people in the US will be too lazy to type that character when writing about it. Also, look at the author's own examples. They already have to resort to calling it "ci" in code and on the command line (and in UR

It's possible that people commonly conflate their feelings towards Mono with their feelings about the general CLR/C# environment. Not saying that's definitely the case here, but how many web-targeted projects exist for .NET&#

If Microsoft has a single product, so do Apple and Google. Your summation of Microsoft's position is way off. Microsoft was never much of a trend setter. They tend more to come into an established business and try to dominate it and th

You can absolutely pass valid judgement on quality of usability on sight alone. If I showed you a picture of a 4 foot wide ship wheel and said I was going to install it in my Mazda Miata - you'd know instantly that it would be unusable

I think the poll is asking the wrong question because a dollar amount is completely arbitrary. If I really needed a bug fixed to continue with my business - I'd be willing to pay whatever it took. A "Would you be willing to pay ..." questio
