Rastafarian

Reaver drop was not invented by Zileas, he only popularized it.

It may not depend on it, but it will improve it by some small margin most of the time.

There's a VS plugin from the company that makes IDEA, called Resharper. Resharper + VS >> IDEA :D

IMHO they would never do that and you're just being naive ;)

Encryption in the browser would mean no targeted ads, less profit for shareholders, problems with the government.

Again IMHO the reality of today is governments and big business are controlled by a very few people, working against the interests of the masses - i.e. a huge conspiracy.

"a company that's supposed to be beholden first and foremost to its users" - it's only supposed to if you're stupid enough to believe the PR talk. Generally Microsoft is as trustworthy as Google and any other big corporation (i.e. not much, when it comes to power struggle - which is what privacy is all about).

Many still have IE 6.0 on XP SP3 ... It's fully supported by MS.

Writing a good novel is pretty hard to do, why are people not just republishing old ones?

Of course they are similar, they both stole the concept from Lisp.

Mentioning poor, useless Quora when the topic is billion dollar companies makes me laugh.

I guess you can say that. There will be lots of MS bits in, once the site goes up :D

Or about the music and movie industry?

Of course there is, e.g. any government/public funded mobile app will have to be developed on Android first or only.

Full license, including the name, access to Play, all Google apps is between $10 and $20 per device. The license comes with a very good rate for every online search made from an Android phone or tablet.

They don't have to grow ecosystem, it's Samsung store would be just another site to upload your app beside Google's and Amazon's.

Aha John, good thing this is a new account as it's gonna be silent banned in a few hours ;-)

Yeah, it's between countries. The same same small group of people owns the majority share in the Fed and controls almost all central banks worldwide. The independent central banks are disappearing one by one - Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan.

You can as well say that flat currencies and fractional reserve banking are modern day pyramid scheme, that disproportionally rewards those participants that have a banking license.

The menu letters case is just a registry setting.

There are many shortcuts not working properly, e.g. http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/7... , windows with strange state management, the new temp document not working properly.

I'm observing quite a few serious regressions in another Microsoft product - Visual Studio 2012, so IMHO this is not completely unlikely to be an accident. On the other side - Steve Ballmer ...

What is the name of the 19th century Russian mathematician he mentioned?

You seem to be forgetting about the billion or so human-made combustion engines, that are easily capable of altering the global climate in a few years.

Or about the tens of thousands of nukes, that can strip the poles of ice caps if properly deployed and again completely change the climate.

Or the probably achievable proposed projects of building solar mirrors or seeding the south oceans with iron.

One can look at the amount of energy humankind was commanding 300 years ago and now, and than extrapolate that to the next 300 years. That power would be enough to move stars around, not talking about a single planet surface fluctuations in gas pressure.

When you factor in the huge R&D costs, the cheapest models are definitely sold at a lost.

Right, and what percent of the population do you think cares about some rules, some suits from Google made up?

The only high resolution ~10″ displays on the market currently are those that didn't pass Apple quality control ...

Buddy, did you even read the article before commenting??

"andrewaylett:

But it's not an autorun vulnerability, that wouldn't be newsworthy -- the problem is that simply mounting the filesystem exploits bugs in the filesystem driver."

Did you had a look at .NET 4.5? It has WebSocket support and very convenient async keyword. Seems to me it can match easily match Node for a site like Playtomic.

(I was replaying to benologist's comment, but there's a bug in HN system)

IMHO these guys just didn't architect and configure .NET to suit their loads. ADO.NET connection pool is adjustable, it's trivial to setup a (NodeJS style) single DB connection per app pool.

On the other hand exploration and colonization can make place for many more billions of potential Catholics and ensure the sect survival in case of a global extermination event.

Or "99% of US Congressmen own shares in the military–industrial(–congressional) complex, so we need any excuse to funnel $trillions over there"

Completely agree + IMHO it's insane to give money to the entertainment industry, provided it will use part of them to bribe politicians, destroy freedom, establish totalitarian control over Internet and PC platform.

Right, an advice with zero practical value. There's such an abundance of great programmers awaiting a job/contract offer ...
