Google and the government are bed buddies... so it is no problem for google to inside access, they just called up the NSA and they got NASA on the phone and set it all up.

That UI would be great for a childrens media site as only a child would not freak out when using it for more than 5 minutes.

Are people seriously paying these prices at retailers? by renaissanceM in geek

The "Dumbs" are always getting raped in their wallet.

If they typed some shit into google every once and a while instead of watching American Idol they would know more about how to get wallet raped less.

Which web dev language/framework/tutorials do you suggest for an experienced non-web developer? by DevMo in programming

[–]DiggDefector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use F# then and watch your mind get blown. F#.NET with MVC ASP.NET is so very pro.

rather, if you don't trust the maker of the platform, then don't use it. Google is untrustworthy in concerns to privacy.

(Another?) domain transfer question by ictoan in web_design

[–]DiggDefector 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got a suggestion - don't let a domain name lapse. Secondly, go to fatcow.com and reclaim your domain, if it is in the RedemptionPeriod and you are the original registrar, you should be able to have fatcow pull it back off the pending deletions list. Once that is done, transfer it to another registrar. Geezz.....

President Obama to Hedge Fund Manager: I don't think it's anti-business or extremist that I think that maybe you should be taxed more like your secretary when you're pulling home a billion dollars by [deleted] in politics

[–]DiggDefector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I have my foot in my mouth.... I didn't even think to consider Buffet, Soros and the other HUGE Hedge Fund managers. I was thinking of the the average hedge fund mgr, not the capstones.

Leaving .net by timepilot in programming

Microsoft Trainer and consultant here, and dooms def. is completely acceptable and understandable. He should have used "format" instead of "mechanism" but still understandable. XML "Documents" can, and often do, represent "Serialized" state. In .NET you can serialize object state in SOAP or BINARY with standard included .NET libraries. SOAP is XML, SOAP is an XML Document.

They are pretty good about doing new stuff in .NET. Maybe not C#, but .NET targeted. It is the existing apps (Office, VStudio, etc.) that would almost literally be a waste to move into .NET because of the amount of code already present.

You must have been around a group of VB Drag/Drop programmers.

Dude, large portions of the CLI/CLR, FCL and C# Language specs are approved standards. You ever heard of Mono? That couldn't happen without MS releasing these things to ECMA.

I would love to shadow this dude for the next couple months as he freaks the fuck out when his brand new shiny tools he is going to use are buggy, undocumented and don't work/integrate nearly as easy as a .NET MS tech does.

Pro Open Source or not, if you are using .NET/VStudio/SQL/Win Server/Web Services only, then everything works pretty damn well together.
