But neither are they the devil... Just a company like any other IMO.-wraith808 (November 23, 2009, 11:12 AM)
Closer to the devil than the average company though. Others may aspire to their level of brutal monopolistic product control and fencing their customers in, but very few get anywhere close.-Dormouse (November 23, 2009, 02:33 PM)
Every time tinjaw mentions Python, an impoverished snake gets a free meal.-app103 (November 18, 2009, 10:03 PM)

Now that we have discussed what FTP clients people like and use the most, I was wondering what free FTP server people thought was "best" and what pay FTP server people thought was "best".
In general i think it's silly to say a scripting language isn't a "real" programming language -- the real issue is choosing the right tool for the right job.-mouser (October 26, 2009, 02:45 PM)
Oh my.. and someone said there's no Apple bias here-wraith808 (October 22, 2009, 09:36 AM)
Looks as if they were right, doesn't it?

Personally, they'd have to pry my windows out of my cold dead hands... the hardware is another thing As long as I can run Windows on it, it's fine... it's the features (and right now, I want to run OSX and Windows on the same box)
The rebate deals only last one week so you'll need to act fast to make the most of them.hopefully the postal service is good-iconico (October 18, 2009, 11:07 PM)-tomos (October 19, 2009, 12:15 PM)
And I agree with everything you just said. My only issue was someone (was it you?) said that the 9600 was a top end graphics card. It's not. It's a very capable solution for a large percentage of people and uses, but it's not a top end solution.-Innuendo (October 15, 2009, 05:24 PM)
All the people I know with computers, ranging from 13 to 67, gauge their user interaction by the apps and games they use. The only use they have for the browser usually is to obtain more data to use with their games and apps, i.e. information for book reports, downloadable content for games, music for their mp3 players, etc.
When these people go to upgrade their computers, or to buy a new one, the choice of browser never enters into it. They base their decisions on needing to run Micrsoft Word or Final Cut or Garage Band or Half Life 2.
Now if the days of cloud computing finally arrive then I agree it will be all about the web browser, but every single one of these 13 to 70 year olds I know do not like the concept of cloud computing at all.-Innuendo (October 17, 2009, 10:56 AM)

Is that what that's for? I have an account... and still haven't been able to figure out much use for it...-wraith808 (October 15, 2009, 03:53 PM)
Did you watch the 80 minute video on it? Or even the 8 minute video on it?
It's basically e-mail, IM, IRC, a wiki, and Microsoft OneNote all rolled into one, with even more features than what I've mentioned. Or at least that's what it's going to be as it progresses. I agree with you that without other people I know in there with me, it seems pretty barren.-Deozaan (October 15, 2009, 04:17 PM)
