Netscape towards the end was pitching to business and not consumer. Consumers like touchy-feely-hip things (Silver Bullets), business wants things that work. Price, Performance and Support are all that counts at the end of the day. (Lead Bu

I'm all for free air space for personal drones however; I have fishing net that can be fired from a potato gun. Any drone flying that close will be captured and re-purposed for my personal pleasure.

I agree with you on the lack of iOS & Android support in .NET so far (i'm using Xamarin to bridge this now). But I am personally confident MS will attack this market with full steam and deliver native tools to their developers sooner ra

Some of the things MS pulled the plug on needed it. I can’t vouch for WinRT development but the .NET 4.5 is rock solid and predictable for WinPhone & Win7/8 from my desk. Have you used NuGet yet with over 1100 packages? Microsoft is a

From what perspective are you coming from that you think .NET is dying (student, education, corporate, open source)? MS has never been a technology leader as they tend to let others make the early mistakes then charge in, ask Netware, OS2/I

Personally I am very proud of the community support shown here on HN to the OP’s post. I saw it earlier today and didn’t have time to respond so I up voted it just before it slid off the new posts fold hoping it would make it the FP. Recogn

I'm in the same boat and just ordered a new iMac. My old dell laptop was 32bit and going forward w/Win8 you need 64bit. Going to use VMWare Fusion 5 to run Win8 in 64 bit. Your post didn't mention it but how are you booting windows on your

$100 is the top for me. It's just a matter of time before CA declares them illegal to drive with which will diminish their value further.

I actually agree with him and not that I hate web development. I just see the mobile development as the natural progression in programming. I started programming before the web existed on the Windows platform where solid code and good under

You have a good regiment for burnout. You can always feel burnout approaching which is usually about 2 weeks before it really happens (waking up and dreading working on the same thing). Stop what you're doing and do something totally differ

I think, the just coming into programming generation are all enamored by the headlines of big $$$ exits by people just several years out of college. The entrenched crowd recognizes programming and all the mired number of daily challenges as

Clipper! yes that was the first language I used professionally. I tell the younger guys that before IDE's and flat memory models were around, when you programmed, you went looking to buy three things. 1. Language/Compiler 2. Linker 3. Edito
