Official ICQ client got bloated for every release. Security issues and lots of spam. Miranda IM, open source plugin based architecture, was the best client for ICQ. There was a fun plugin that notified you if anyone read your away message.

I had a Commodore 64 that I had bought with my own money, but my friend (rather his dad) had a Commodore 128 with a floppy drive. I was so impressed but also extremely jealous. My brother though bought a PC.

Assume this is doable, but who would legislate that? US congress that is already bought and paid for by the very same companies?

They are still supported and works perfectly fine still. Remember that browsers supports different DOCTYPEs (HTML5, XML, HTML4 strict and non strict etc) and they are not going away anytime soon, probably thousands and thousands web sites o

Funny thing is that it still easier, even today, to use a frameset rather for header, sidebar and main area rather than fiddle with the new grid system.

It was me that was doing that comparison, agree it is not a perfect one because of many reasons, one is that communism is a political system that has an economic system (typically planned economy) and capitalism is an economic system only.

China and Poland has definitely got it better with less communism, but what is "more or less capitalist"? I also notice that you completely ignored my reply.

Sure, if we two meet in the forest and I swap my piece of fur for some dried meat it is a win. But the problem with capitalism is that in the long run it starts to centralize in a similar manner as communism for efficiency and thus goes aga

Market economy is not necessary the same as capitalism, China is capitalist in some parts but it also a heavy state subsidized economy with a regulated market and public ownership. And the massive increase in living standard can be attribut

But I get no protection from these tech overlords, they can close me down at anytime or give my data away to third party or the government without my knowledge.

> You can only do that if you have cornered the market. Which happens over and over because we humans are flawed, thus every system we create will also be flawed. If capitalisms only works in theory then it is as good as communism.

I would rather say it is a synergi between technology and capitalism, both are needed to create the current state. Technology has always been a double edged sword thru human history, it is just that the sword keeps getting bigger and bigger

This text doesn’t make much sense, on the one hand the author argues that software written in C is robust, on the other hand the author admits that he has unknown bugs lurking in his own project. One bug took several months to track down. T

Probably even better to pick PHP then, large standard library included, open foo.php to code, no main function required, just start writing, no build step, can output to stdout or http without effort

Not only in one line but also you don't need to wrap your function argument with a class instantiation, you can just pass the integer into the function you are calling and the compiler takes care of the rest. And that is a problem with

Yes, and I view this a strength of PHP, that you can write your own mini framework with a few lines. And as result we have many reliable frameworks to pick from for PHP. Other languages typically only have one dominant web framework, like J
