There's already a D-Bus implementation available on BSD and other Unices. The API is documented and anyone has the freedom to implement it any way they want, userspace, kernelspace or outerspace.

I fail to see how one more implementation, more specfically the Linux kernel one, has anything to do with giving up on anything.

Apple invests a few bucks in some lawyers and government lobbyists and in return they get an army of police to do their dirty work at a fraction of the cost. If Apple had to hire it's own police and equip them with guns to enforce such ridiculous demands, their products would be twice as expensive and no one would buy them. The government is a weapon with a great bang for the buck.

The best way to fight a corporation is with another corporation. Letting your enemies fight amongst themselves until they're both weakened before going in for the kill is an effective military strategy that ironically governments don't use in business. Governments should let corporations fight amongst themselves on price and quality and let consumers reap the benefits.

Absolutely! Spending your money on what you want is not only the best way to spend your money for you but it is also great for society and the market as well. Before spending your money, don't you consider the company's reputation though? Do you not look a bit further than the price tag and build quality?

I made the mistake of buying a Motorola Atrix a few years ago. The device was made with great quality but Motorola never delivered on their promise to support it. Now I'm stuck with Android 2.3 on a smartphone that could easily run KitKat. Motorola has lost my trust and I'll be voting differently next time.

Don't you want to know who to vote for with your money?

While I'll admit your version works with non-deterministic naming pairs...

That's the elegant part.

Well, show me some code in C or other "real" language that does the same as this JavaScript snippet and let's compare.

It's binding mouse event handlers that swap the image source of all the images in a document.

If you read the GP you'll realise that this isn't about whether it can be done in other languages, I know it can be done. My point is that not only is web programming real programming but it can also be done just as elegantly if not more.

Nice. I didn't realize that C++ could look so good. If I had not commented on this thread I'd mod you Informative. However, that line of code isn't complete. You still need to loop through all the image objects and late bind the events to each.

My counter point however was for the GP who implied that web scripting languages are not very elegant. I was trying to show that they can be just as elegant. I wasn't saying that non web languages are not elegant.

It can obviously be done in C but I doubt it would be done with the same elegance.

The framework is written in the same language, JavaScript, which further emphasizes my point.

Some of the most elegant code that I've seen has been with web scripting languages.

$('img').bind('mouseenter mouseleave', function() {
        $(this).attr({
                src: $(this).attr('data-other-src')
                , 'data-other-src': $(this).attr('src')
        })
});

Shameless plug

Try doing that in C

Are you saying that I should increase by hourly rate to $250/hour so that I can work for 2 hours and do research/whatever/post on /. for the 6?

I, know, you hate videos but have a look and you might learn a thing or two about Bitcoin.

But, he survived and flourished because of the tax payers. They'll fail again and we'll see with the tax payers will help them survive a second time.

YOU COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG.
