Btw, downvoting just reaffirms my judgement about your appletardness.

Ugh, anyone know of something along the lines Apple-haters -mailing list or something? I need a place where I can be reasonably sure that people who I am talking with aren't macfags.

Isn't this the very kind of thinking - thinking that houses are investments and surely the prices will go up - that caused the housing bubble?

Rational advice for splurging 500K to 1M+ on a "nice" home? Isn't that an oxymoron?

This is exactly the same article that has already been written by every geek who blogs and has recently tried Linux. Nothing new or interesting. Flagged.

Not sure if serious or just mildly autistic...

What's the point of filtering out all non-five star reviews? I for one would be very interested in fake reviews by my competitors.

As soon as people stop letting non-engineers get away with total, utter technical incompetence and stupidity.

Yeah, stupid, ignorant and dangerous ideas tend to freak people out...

That's a stupid question to ask. More appropriate would be: who on earth thinks that omitting semi-colons makes anything better?

Working servers matter more, the page doesn't load for me.

When was the last time you tried KDE4? I found that it was very unstable and buggy when I first tried it when it came out. Nowadays it seems stable (haven't had it crash anymore), and much less buggy (ie. normal level of bugginess).

Considering that there are pretty much no other open source mobile platforms, that is trivially true.

So are you saying that no response data ever should be published, or people should be forced to take surveys and what not?

Someone still thinks artificial scarcity is a viable business model?

There's a reason real banks use mainframes, not cloud services...

Gah, I didn't remember that Java programmers have no sense of humor.

Good, loops are just gotos in disguise, and gotos are already banned in Java. This just makes the language more consistent.

Perfect summation of everything java.

That doesn't say much without any information about which other laptops you've owned...

> I like that Macs are true multi-user operating systems. I can separate work and leisure better that way.

I've heard this a couple of times in the last days, and it has left me wondering, in what ways isn't Windows a "true" multi-user system?

There's insanity, and then there's this...

> We know this is true in our own lives. Things are lasting longer and working better.

Is this guy living in some parallel universe where planned obsolescence of overly complicated and fragile products isn't the norm?

Looking at the source is just one search away, instead of having to navigate many files or build a tag file or whatever. Also provides an incentive to keep shit tidy.

> human beings are "endlessly complicated and interesting."

Couldn't disagree more. Human beings en masse are endlessly boring and not interesting at all. Just because the soil of the earth contains a few diamonds doesn't make all the soil interesting.

So your argument essentially boils down to "there should be some coding style in a project", which is true for all languages, not just C++.

Why on earth would anyone want to use Java the language on anything else than JVM and get rid of the one and only alleged advantage that Java has?

The "C++ is only usable in a subset" meme must die.

I'm looking at it right now, and I'm on the verge of projectile vomiting.

The page doesn't seem to load for me.
