If I was you I would bet on Visual Studio first. This is one IDE where you will find a lot of enterprise devs. - XCode is not massively used - Eclipse is free and users might carry the same mentality about plugins - IntelliJ certainly has

It's a good thing Microsoft is "dead" so now when appropriate we can use MS tech without having to endure the critics. As far as evil goes, to me, Google is much more scaring than MS.

Very interesting links thank you. I was very surprised about the "racial" statistics in the first link. In my country (France) it's unlawful to make this kind of statistics.

It never cease to amaze me how in the start-up world people can "loose" millions and nobody cares. It's like free money. IMHO the second start-up bubble is about to pop.

Yes exactly. I'm a bit fed up with people advocating more women in <insert male dominated industry here>. As far as I can tell these same people don't complain that teachers and nurses jobs are mainly occupied by women. Ever

What people don't understand about Switzerland is that it's USA's ally. Even being officially neutral, during the cold war it had its own Gladio program financed by the CIA. And intelligence agencies in the rest of the world,

It seems you have used some Unicode for the buttons, but most of them don't appear on my navigator (latest Firefox on Win 7x64). I tried to play with the page encoding but it didn't change anything. https://www.dropbox.

There are so many languages I would like to learn : - Ada : everybody raves about it but nobody uses it ;-) - Python : for everyday hacks, it's portable, simple and it's not Java ;-) - Assembly : it's the root of everything -
