Every point in that write up has been rebutted. Linking to that over and over doesn't make any of it true.

*sigh*

All those internet history lessons in college were wrong!

Remember that the internet was invented for the specific military purpose of withstanding a nuclear war. Granted a politically motivated attack on the internet would probably be easier since you're actually forcing engineers to go out and pull the kill switch.

Still the best way to keep the internet running is to build out an extreme number of connections to other parts of the internet. Another thing that would force politics to stay out of the internet is to make business extremely reliant on it. One of the biggest reasons the internet in developed nations won't be turned off is because of how much of an extreme problem it would create for all of the industries that are actually in power economically. It would literally be shooting yourself in the foot.

Stop apologizing for complexity! Movies are also incredibly complex to make and you don't see movie studios forcing you to pay extra to see the last 15 minutes of a movie.

There are plenty of examples of companies that make excellent money without bullshit DLC schemes. See: Valve and Notch.

The DLC money machine will end with these companies dying from stupid marketing decisions and good riddance for that.

Saw this coming a mile away. I haven't upgraded my utorrent in a while and now have a real reason to not upgrade.

If only I could give you a million internet points.

Not implying that iOS mobile is any better.

Just sad by Google's choice with Android.

PHP is C-like just like Java but the path the two syntaxes take would bring them further apart than closer together.

For example in PHP you would never see something like this:
final Class d = mContext.getApplicationContext().getClassLoader().loadClass(mContext.getPackageName() + ".R$" + subClassName);

It makes me sad that Google chose Java as Android's main language considering how much of a rats nest Java really is.

It's sad that it takes 16GB of RAM just to compile a build of Android. And the funny thing is it kills the whole point of Android being "open". What person has 16GB of RAM on the off chance that they might wanna compile an Android build?

PHP coder here.

No no no no!!!!

Using mysql_real_escape_string WILL NOT PROTECT YOU from SQL injections.

The function is made for escaping strings incase it contains a character that would break SQL. It's up to you to filter your inputs.

PHP does not inherently promote SQL injections. Stupid design patterns do.

Usually I'd agree with you but this news about DRM is pretty important because it completely changes the dynamic of the music industry in relation to the Internet considering iTunes recently surpassed Walmart in music sales. That is clearly stuff that matters and if you can't see that you're geek license should be revoked on your way out.

I have that speedy feel NOW on Vista x64 lol

I don't want to move to Titan. I wanna turn Mars and Venus into Earth 2 and 3.

Dunno why you got modded troll. it's true
