JSON is a pretty significant force behind modern Web design. Without it, the Web would still be a pretty static place.
Nah, we'd just be putting actual XML in our XMLHTTPRequests instead. (All JSON does is represent the same data as the XML would, in a less verbose format.) We'd still have all the Asynchronous Javascript And XML.
It would be better... if you could program [Objective C] on something other than a Mac.
"the Commission" (caps? should I say it in an evil accent or something?)
I was referring to it as a proper noun ("the [Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications] Commission"), not as a generic commission.
Imagine targeted penis enlargement ads!
Reading this post made me feel dirty.
So you're jealous and insecure that they're doing a better job than you. Got it.
Yeah, I've moved past the point where people like you can shame me into flip flopping. I don't want you around me, and I don't value your approval.
It doesn't really matter why I hold this position, or how you want to label it. What matters is, I refuse to support companies that woo women away from traditional family life, and I refuse to be sneaky about it in the name of political correctness.
but don't try anything too clever. Otherwise some cop will get a gut feeling or a hunch and the minute he's officially taken off the case you're toast.
You know it. And from watching things like Bones and CSI:Miami I know that not only do they investigate every case like its the only thing they have to do with their time, but that money is also generally no object. And if you are really unlucky, the laws of physics will turn out to be fairly flexible to.
I think professionals should wear suits, and I'm highly competent, as demonstrated by the many world class projects on my CV.
Your view of the world is flawed.
You're so caught up in your desire to defend your ridiculous "free expression" ideology that you won't acknowledge that facts exist, or that lies exist. There's a huge blind spot that you can't see past because you've decided that your ideology is beyond critical examination.
That pedantic crap about "thinking hard" just reinforces that for all your cleverness, you're just another idiot who has been crippled by his preconceptions.
You should probably stick to the contrived world of the chessboard and leave the real world problems to others.
Your point? ABC/NBC/Fox/etc are not Canadian companies, they still have to comply with CanCon rules within Canada. Netflix is operating under an exemption from those rules right now.
Netflix is not a broadcaster/Television company. They are a subscription internet service that streams video over the internet or ships DVDs for rental on demand.
As such, they do not need to license any spectrum or broadcast rights, as their transmissions are in private over the telecommunications network. And they are essentially an equivalent to an online "All You can Eat" DVD/Video rental shoppe.
Last I checked, video rental shoppes and other businesses besides broadcasters are not subject to regulation in regards to what their video library can carry.
There would be fundamental free speech rights violations in attempting to dictate what a store or information service should carry.
No, it means they "can" not that they 'will".
No... it means they say they can. They cannot legally confiscate property without due process contrary to the 5th amendment.
It's not a commercial product so who cares if some PHB who thinks the name of an application is important doesn't like it?
If the geek wants encryption to become universal, he has to remove any and all barriers to adoption, both technical and psychological. That implies reaching out to the PHB, the home and SOHO user, and so on.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Software isn't always better because it's new.... So, color me unimpressed by Powershell, Agile, objective C, json and Azure.
What is Objective C doing in that list? Did you forget that it was invented more than 30 years ago (and not by Apple)? It predates both
Objective C isn't the newfangled replacement; it's the thing that ain't broke!
I think I am starting to see the effects of complacency.
Aren't you confusing complacency with fatigue? Passion with commitment? There is a price to be paid for the adrenalin high.
There's no place any more for cultural protectionism.
Canadian content laws combined with tax incentives are what created and sustains hollywood north, a significant film and TV production industry within Canada that would otherwise not exist, that generates jobs and incomes in Canada.
Kill the laws, and you kill an industry. How does Canada win that way exactly?
Protecting Canadian content is far more than just protecting Canadian "culture", its a very real protection of a whole industry that pretty clearly and objectively benefits the country overall.
