EVILNESS
I agree. Every single large company is, by definition, evil. I've created a graph to help you understand.

considering that Linux's roots come from the Unix world- which precedes Windows by nearly a generation of programmers- I think Nadrew is just pulling your leg Jon... :p

All it took for me is the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley. If all that is genuinally true, then Bill Gates is the most evil man of all! And Steve Jobs isn't exactly Honest-Abe either.
Resonating Light P.S. Brackets are evil too! I really do not like looking at them. Tabs are better. But maybe that's because I'm used to tabs! ^.^ | |
I think C# is a programing langwige that takes the best from Visual Basic and C++ and makes it simpler to use. (C* (C splat) is sumthing els I dont no wat it is)
| |
You think? Well, gues what... I know! I know the main languages it borrows from is C++ and Java. There really wouldn't be much reason to make VB a main language to borrow from since the .NET platform has its own version of VB, called VB.NET.

Random guys giving advice isn't always my best source of info, but I do agree with you on the endpoint. C# is being pushed heavily by Microsoft, and is a key part of their Longhorn project. .NET is here to stay, methinks, so you should get aboard early. :) Which is exactly why there are a lot of people who would disagree with you. Any of those programming languages which are "Microsoft-friendly" - like C# - aren't really all that compatible with other operating systems. While I do admit that Windows is the most widely used operating system, I still think it is the single most pathetic for programming on, regardless of what Microsoft do. If you're going to get serious with programming, you're better of moving to a Unix or Linux based system - simply because, for the most part, they provide a lot of built-in support. As far as comparing anything to VisualBASIC goes... Don't touch anything like it. It teaches bad habits and is ONLY compatible with Microsoft products. Hence why it's called VisualBASIC - Microsoft VisualStudio x.x or .NET. Anyway, people are probably already going to leap down my throat about this. But, hey, it's my opinion and that's what counts to me. :) Slip | |

I agree, but also disagree. I know that a computer running winXP can easly run for over two weeks without any errors at all. My computer did and it is only 1.5 ghrz and 386mb(not DDR even) of ram. So it is very stable, but it takes up way to much space on the Harddrive and ram. It also costs a butt load to buy it. Fortunatly it comes stock on most computers. Microsoft is an evil corp, but so is Apple, so linux is the only OS not backed soley by evil. All hail Linux users! | |
Just hand me Mandrake with Emacs on it, and I'll be fine to go about my good ol' MUD ways. No need for dodgy Microsoft work on a decent operating system. :P

I'm gonna jump in and be an idiot, but isn't Emacs a C/Cpp compiler? Text editor extraordinaire. :P | |
Malver wrote:
Text editor extraordinaire. :P Wrong. It's an operating system that lacks a good text editor. vi is a text editor extraordinaire. :P (although I'm partial to nano) | |

Joke on slashdot.org I read once. Basically if you name it, emacs can usually do it somehow. Heck, it has its own psychiatric doctor! | |
The documentery on the history of Linux - Funded in part(100%) by Microsoft.
I don't see how the Linux kernel could have been created using MS copyrighted code, because if it did, MS would have released the lawyers. Perhaps Linux and Windows have/had some code in common due to the *BSDs.
