Why? Because he wants to reach an audience? He didn't say "If you want 5 bucks, could you vote for it on Hacker News?". If don't like it, don't vote for it.

Because processor technologies aren't designed the weekend before they're shipped. AMD's x86-64 technology (aka 64-bit) was publicly announced in 1999 (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit ). It likely was in planning stages years earl

Has Mossberg always been the king of trumpeting diminished expectations, or is this a new thing? Is Microsoft a major Wall Street Journal advertiser? So if a critic expresses a view contrary to your own views he's a shill? Great argument.

I wrote sloppily. I meant the GUI when I referred to Visual Studio, and not all the compilers, linkers, utilities, etc. I apologize.

I was referring to GUI of Visual Studio - but thanks for the clarification. I didn't mean to imply MS replaced 30 years of code in one go. I should've written more carefully.

I didn't say they rewrote everything for .NET. There is managed C++ which uses the CLR while also support native C++ code. So they could use code written in the 80's with managed C++. I seriously doubt they rewrote Visual Studio to be comp

Nearly the whole thing. Visual Studio 2010 even goes as far as to use WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) - a GUI layer entirely written in managed code. Of course, satellite dll's & exe tools aren't all written in managed code. It's

I must say this is pretty shitty thing to say about someone. A backhanded compliment at best.

He's not criticizing cloud computing, he's saying "cloud computing" is an idiotic idiom. And it is. "Cloud computing" is just distributed computing. It has been around for decades. (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing )

Ok, complaining is one solution. Many times it's the best option for consumers. However producers like this guy should work with the owners of the technology and negotiate a better deal. Get support from other independent producers, get a f

Besides saying "fuck" over and over again, was the whole point of that post to complain about licensing? If you don't want to deal with licensing issues don't use any proprietary technology. Release your work online in OGG format. These typ

Oh, you're right. It looks like Windows XP was the first and last version of Windows to include Flash.

by wyday 17y ago
That was a downloadable service pack, and it was an optional component. At any rate, I'm using Windows 7 right now. I assure you I'm not lying.

Windows 7 doesn't ship with flash. In fact, Windows has never shipped with flash.

You're taking the "nice problem to have" meme too far. If I were rich, any problem I have is a "nice problem to have"? That's just silly.

Huh? Having so many sales that your server side script can't keep up is a nice problem to have. Having so much money you can never possibly know your actual self-worth is a nice problem to have. Getting bugged by people who could never add

The rates have changed. PayPal didn't tell it's users. But you're right, the blog post didn't make that clear.
