Comment The EU is just clueless (Score 0) 110

As usual it's clear that the EU is compromised of morons and clueless people that have no clue about anything they are trying to set rules for. This does absolutely nothing to help with right to repair. It doesn’t actually address the underlying problem of right to repair, the only thing this does is add more complexity for the repairs shop for complying with some forms. Why is Europe so useless?

Comment Re: Neither pretty nor right (Score 1) 124

I was there when they changed the name and my first thought are these marketing guys stupid? They just took a very known and very successful brand name and changed it something stupid for no reason whatsoever. It would be like if Apple would rebrand their name to Initech. It was galactically stupid. It was the start of their downfall which they never recovered from. Delphi was/is actually a very nice product with a very good RAD system. They could have taken over the world if it wasn't for their marketing people destroying everything in their wake.

Comment Everyone can create a programming language (Score 4, Informative) 148

For anyone who has been in the software industry for more than a decade this is obvious stuff. Everybody can create a new programming language in about a days work, that is not the hard part. The real use of a programming language is in the development support and libraries that are available. Even if you have the best programming language in the world, if you don't have a good development environment and third party libraries that you can use, then that programming language is completely useless. This is why it's always best to use an older language until a new language has matured to the point of being actually usable.

Comment Monopoly money (Score 1) 32

1) Anytime anyone mentions the value of a crypto they refer to an actual USD money amount, since crypto has no value in itself.
2) Are you telling me that you could sell $416 million USD of crypto and get that amount of money immediately transferred to your account? Of course not. You can't actually sell that much crypto and get actual real money, therefore any value of crypto is meaningless.

All of this crypto money is just the same. Doesn't anyone notice this? Sometimes I feel like I am taking crazy pills.

Comment Re:Sue them for what? (Score 1) 68

Any company that sues open source developers would find themselves blacklisted from using other code.

Right, just like SCO vs Linux really cared about pissing of all open source developers and all the big players in the software business. When the suing company is just a zombie shell company for Microsoft you can drag out that legal case forever with no repercussions.
