lol looks like I can't find anything with a hitler degree of more than 3
Ok it seems perfectly possible to make a lot of money while being a complete idiot. I'm getting an MS in engineering and since I was studying the last few years I don't have any money (except about the minimum which is required for a living) What worries me most is that many engineering jobs are not well payed, even though they require skilled people. So I wonder how I could turn the hard work I did (and still do) to get my degree into money.
From the technical both would be possible but I guess there would be some effort required to do either of these:
- VS on a Mac: VS 2010 uses WPF for the gui. Therefore it would have to run on a Mac. I guess the .net platform probably already runs on a Mac (there is Silverlight for a Mac) and since WPF uses Direct-X they would need to hook it up with OpenGL. However since VS is huge this would take a lot of effort I guess, so rather unlikely.
- The second rumor, that the VS on Windows would be able to produce iPad/Phone apps seems easier to do from a technical perspective, since they could use Clang/LLVM. But I don't really see the point here: There are more then enough people developing for the iPhone/iPad and this would probably hurt Microsofts Windows Mobile plans.. as well as Apples Mac sales..
So it's a rumor - that's all probably complete BS. We will see..
That's what just comes in my mind..
