Take your dog whistling and get the fuck out of here, loser.

We aren't in any way at this time, but if we don't start caring for our citizens again and start handing out raises, we're fucked.

Apparently nothing... Do you not remember last month?

Yah, but how many people saw The Wolverine and thought the nuclear explosion over Nagasaki was WAY too small?

Trevon Martin protected his neighborhood from thugs? With Skittles?

Shit, look at what happened to the internet since Jon Postel was assassinated... :(

Oh, so like WinAmp? Gone after Dec 20, 2013.

// I'm one of the weirdos who still think it's the best and am gonna miss it. Just bought WinAmp for Android less than two months ago.

Uh, why would one want to run JavaScript on the server? Makes perfect sense in the browser for cross-browser compatibility, but on the server? Why would anyone but JavaScript purists want to do that?

In the .NET world it is C# on the server, JavaScript on the client, AJAX tying the two together - asynchronously.

This is as dumb as using the code-first model for Entity Framework - Just a crutch for people who don't want to learn what they need to learn.

V# should have been C#

OK, I might get fried for this, but I'm a daily VS2012 V#/MVC 4 Mobile web programmer and I have no clue what Node.js is all about or why they are excited about it.

I looked at the Nodejs.org site and have not a clue WTF it's supposed to do. Anyone got a translation of what in the hell their buzzspeak means?

"Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices."

What does it do that jQuery's async AJAX handlers do not? // Fully duh about it... Clue me please.

Re: Your sig is outdated:

It now says Computer or This Computer.

But it's NOT a criminal offense, you big dummy. It's an administrative citation, below a misdemeanor, definitely below a felony. A felony is required for something to be a literal criminal offense.

Educate yourself about the weird world of traffic law before spouting boot-licking nonsense.

When are we gonna get a Linux distro with the modern version of MonoDevelop.

Call it a trap all you want, it's still a dream of mine to write MVC 4 apps under Linux, using the most recent version of MonoDevelop.

...and instead, the Russians just used a pencil.
