Same could be said for the IPhone. I know a few people who got a Windows phone and they have returned them due to crashes and the phone cutting off etc.

I want to live in a World where I can zoom into any place on earth and have HD realtime video, anywhere including inside people's homes. People who disagree with this must be terrorists or doing bad stuff. Ok you give away your privacy, but its worth it to never be bored again, ever!

Modern like C and MS Access is a language? Don't put C and Java together, one is a efficient, correct level of abstraction, powerful language, the other is a bloated, slow, over protective, not that portable pile of junk. "But C is like a sharp tool you can shoot yourself" If you were cutting down a tree would you want to use a blunt axe, in case you were such a moron you would slice your own arm off?

Great artist steal.

Why would you want to rewrite that pile of crap. Java is all about bloat, and generic frameworks that can be used to do anything, but usually fail for your particular requirements. Anything you can write in Java you can write in C, with only a little over head.

Yeah who cares if the video is stuttering, as long as we (might) be able to run the media player on every system that has a JVM. John: "Hey this JMediaPlayer keeps stuttering" Joe: "Yeah but you can run it on you washing machine, maybe"

Git

Idiot "Look I rewrote this in Java now everyone can download it and install it". Other: "Why is running so slow, also 99% of our users are on Windows, Linux or OSX, wouldn't it be easier to release 3 binaries?" Idiot: "Yeah but what if a new platform comes out?" Other: "But would there be a Java runtime?" Idiot: "Not right away, maybe in a few years" Other: "You're fired"

Yeah while you wait someone to write a VM, 5 years earlier recompiled my C program and now have the market share.

You can write portable C code that will run without altering the code.

Fix the error, write good code. That the problem, "look with our programming language you can write shit code", moral hazard.

So you give up order of magnitudes in performance over the life of the running application, to save a few minutes compiling, or some disk space, for each build.

C is portable, everything with a CPU has a C compiler.

Google should just buy Oracle, then it could develop OO etc to kill MS Office.

Yeah like all the C libraries out there?
