Re:Microsoft shoots down Google's Dart on Wednesday November 23, 2011 @01:09PM (#3270954)
As much as I like google I really don't want to go to yet another language. I rather focus on building content rather than have to maintain my page in dart and in JavaScript because of fragmentation issues.

Re:Stop writing good code; Start writing good software. on Saturday November 19, 2011 @02:06PM (#3255938)
Thanks for this comment. I'm glad that some people understand OOP. It gets really anoying reading the whining Of developers that don't realize that it is them that suck, not really the patterns, language, or whatever they are attacking. Ruby programmers use to do this a lot.

Re:High IQ linked to drug use on Tuesday November 15, 2011 @01:49PM (#3239520)

You guys are full of shi*t. You actually believe that high IQ means more intelligent. And now you find an excuse to your drug use and say, "see, I use drugs because I'm smart". why don't you guys just admit that you guys are too weak minded and the only reason you use drugs is because you are too weak to a avoid peer presure.
