It's very logical. Back in the day G had very few, very bright employes. Nowadays they have a lot more people, who are, on average, less intelligent and have less will power. Which means the majority of G-ers today are incapable of inn

Well 1st people often don't have an alternative (driver and app support of Windows, Google's search results quality). And 2nd people do like to be screwed, if that means less effort and lower risk. The vast majority of civilizatio

Crazy talk. >> Knowingly breaking the law Yeah, mythz's crazy anti-Microsoft law ... MS argument here is that Google is pushing for open platforms and standards when it's profitable for G and closing their own when not.

I feel sorry you lack basic understanding of linguistics. Any major programming platform today is too complex for a single individual to understand completely. One can spend his time learning several languages (and the platform they run on)

It won't run satisfactory. Reminds me of that time Sun made the Java CPU and the JavaStation. A hardware implementation of the JVM. It ran 20 times slower than the Microsoft JVM on an average Windows PC.

OK, what's your definition of consciousness? Most animals, even single celled, need to have some way to handle the separation between "me" and "the rest of the world". I look at say my cat - it definitely has this c

No, it's not. It can be used by a single, blind person, be it a human or not.

Fully agree. Of course alcoholics are very good at coming with excuses and explanations about how it's their right to drink and the rest of society has to pay the price.

Funny that all the Google product managers I know personally are ex-Microsoft guys.

That's very nice, but realistically 99.9999% of people won't put this amount of effort into their email.

No, what I did was identify a pathological behavior and give my opinion that it's unnecessary!

How does it compare to Emacs, Idea and Eclipse? I've been planning to learn a modern (compared to Interlisp, which I used in the 80s) Lisp for a long time. What stops me is the need to 1st learn a very complicated IDE. I'm also ha

Wow, Mr Hanselman himself. I'm a big fan - listen to all episodes of your podcast. Just watched a few presentations from this year Build. You should really give other MS employees a course on public speaking - they are sooo slow and bo

Very interesting. I haven't yet tried Go, but I don't see how it could match the performance of C# API with a single function. C#'s async methods offload any IO to the process IO completion port threads, thus freeing the curr

Oh, you're just a conspiracy theorist. The commies, the arabs and the jews hate us for our freedom, thank God we have heroes like Dick Cheney, George W Bush and Barack Obama to protect us.

The "new" model is just syntactic sugar over the "old" TPL, so you're wrong anyway ;-)

Have you by any chance seen the async keyword in C# 5.0? It allows one to write event-based code without callbacks obscuring the control flow. From what I've heard Python is in the process of copying this feature. Iced Coffescrip does

Lets not talk about that. Ycombinator is about rich people funding startups. Rich people of course like the status quo. Criticizing it, won't get you funding, but a hell ban ;-)
