But stay away from Entity Framework and Nuget. EF is slow, and Nuget....well, even Microsoft evangelists criticize it.

If you do want to do cross-platform development, you should stay away from advanced C# features like code-contracts. In fact, if you really want to do that, then you should have at least one person developing on Linux, so you stay aware of all the little incompatibilities.

A clear example of selection bias: people who surround you are like you.

Sorry man, I wasn't owned.

I considered it and found it lacking, but please, don't let that get in the way of your cheerleading for your 'team.'

Remember when Apple pushed AT&T to make 'visual voice mail?' Soon other carriers were adding similar things. This is Google's attempt to push carriers to do what they want.

Your argument: "hey genius: 'two wrongs don't make a right"
Oh so clever you are.

My argument: "You're still partisan, unable to see the stupidity of your own party, and you can write pages and pages attempting to justify your partisanship."


Here's something entertaining for you to consider: if Clinton wins the dem primary, and Bush wins the rep primary (please God no), then we'll have a democrat who voted to invade Iraq running against a republican who didn't.

Politicians move on but partisan stupidity has remained for centuries. Partisan politics are an attempt to divide people.

Google Plus was an attempt to get the name, age, and gender of millions of users. Why? Because that's what advertisers demanded, and what Facebook was able to provide. Thus Google doesn't really care if no one used G+ as long as they signed up.

No, it's the fact that your a partisan moron. Someday you'll wake up. Maybe. But today you are definitely a partisan moron. Probably tomorrow too.

And I anxiously await your defense telling me how much better your chosen party is, because it will be a very entertaining read........since you are not stupid, you can write interesting things (unfortunately blindly partisan, but maybe you'll wake up).

It fascinates me that you can see the error so clearly of Republicans blaming Democrats for their own problems......but somehow fail to see when Democrats do the same to Republicans.

Doesn't it seem arrogant for Obama to claim the power to designate groups as 'legitimate Muslims?' How does being deemed 'legitimate' help a particular group? Would it help them more, say, giving them missiles?

You get what you pay for.

Mr. Tycho Brahe observes: We must, as conscious beings, observe when we are told things that are strategically lathed not to inform us but to make us fight with one another.

It's already happened in America. Most manufacturing jobs have either become automated or outsourced. Most people work in the service industry. Same thing will happen in China.

Gazprom is aggressively and heroically working to remove the methane from the ground in that region. With any luck, they'll be able to remove it all so we can burn it before anything goes wrong.

That is the most optimistic thing I've read all week. It hasn't been a century yet, the time for the third bomb is coming.
