Being detained for absolutely no reason is disgusting.

The aliens did it.

Now they call them bankers. Oh how times have change

90% of developers are not happy working for nothing. They want money to feed themselves and their families. Its ludicrous to expect a highly educated workforce to work for absolutely nothing. Why is it that you expect apps to be free and not food or electricity?

Indeed. How hard can it be for a multi-billion pound company to make a browser that follows W3C rules. It really is beyond me how IE can fail so badly.

I agree, how can anybody possibly fault google for wanting to create a environment where app creators can be paid for their work.

i first learned HTML + CSS (which arguably isn't programming) Then I moved onto PHP and MySQL And finally JavaScript Learning C++ first in my opinion was a pain I tried looking it at it before I started programming at all and I was utterly confused (I was only 14 :D) But now I can easily grasp C++ thanks to all my experience with PHP and JavaScript

Not really. The human race started off as a primitive ape like species. We managed to survive living in jungles, deserts and caves. How is "global warming, pollution, fuel shortage, wars, corruption" going to kill ~7bn people. Sure it might kill 3 billion or even 4 billion at the very worst (which is still unlikely) But there is no way any of the things you mentioned will kill every single human being.

For uploading and keeping pictures and videos. And occasionally getting in touch with lost friends.

I think he is referring to the USA rather than his own company. His excuse for using offshore labour is that he needs to do it to remain competitive. When are people going to realise that countries don't matter that much any more in the 21st century. We are all part of the same community and we all benefit from advanced in technology wherever they happen.

You sir, are destroying the planet :D Ah well, at least your doing it in a stylish open source way.

I dont understand why it would be illegal, so the offence is harbouring 'misleading evidence'? What would be the crime? (im not criticizing merely asking)

I hate it when people fail to make the distinction between the government of a country and the people living in it.

Is that the best you can do? ;P Islam is a vengeful and bloodthirsty religion (like most other religions) You get your arm amputated for thieving making islam brutal, barbaric and stupid. If somebody was poor enough to steal by amputating their arm you are not going to improve the situation. You get buried to your waist while your family and other locals throw stones at you, if you have pre-martial sex making islam brutal and barbaric. You get hanged for blasphemy which is stupid. You get hanged for apostasy (leaving islam), which contradicts the idea of free will, making islam hypocritical. Women are treated as second class citizens making islam a sexist religion.

Only if the company doesn't happen to be a tech company.
