in Microsoft's Bing Search Engine Gains Ground On Google | AHN on All Headline News
You guys consider gaining 0.4% market share from a $100 million dollar ad campaign as gaining ground on Google?! Is that really a gain when you consider Google's share is somewhere between 70% and 80%?

in The highest traffic site in the world doesn’t close its HTML tags on bug.gd error tools, news and anecdotes
It's interesting when amateurs get a blog about technical topics and then see amateurs respond to it. It might be good for you hobbyists to read the HTML documentation before making fools of yourself by spouting something you read on a forum once or, just as bad, in a Dummies book.

Robin Amateurs like Rob who doesn't have something good to add, just critisism.

Watch him prove my point by returning and make this long comment about how he has 100 years of experience as a developer or that he used to code with Gates.

There may come a "tipping point" when the IE deck of cards collapse onto itself in one whoosh. It can't happen soon enough.

in The Most Interesting People to Follow Twitter on Think Vitamin
I tried following some from the first list for a couple weeks. Not the first time I've tried this but definitely the last. Twitter is a flat out stupid waste of everything.

in Mono 2.4 and MonoDevelop 2.0 released - Miguel de Icaza on Miguel de Icaza's blog
Meh. Once you Windows people learn the Unix Way, you won't need this and you'll be far better off for it. .NET stuff is anti-Unix philosophy. Rather than trying to force feed this stuff onto Unix, you should learn proper coding standards and practices.

Jeffrey Stedfast Funnily enough, most of us have vast experiences programming on Unix/Linux and have found it... lacking ;-)

Windows development is lacking in many ways too, but if you combine the tools from both ends of the spectrum you get a much richer development platform.

Mono & MonoDevelop attempt to do just that.

in What’s Been Bugging you in Ubuntu 8.10? | Tombuntu on Tombuntu
The "hanging" issue is related to Firefox having been closed improperly. If you go into .mozilla->firefox->*.defaults you should see one or two files named "lock" or have lock in their name. With Firefox closed, delete those files and you're good to go.

An obvious Windows developer that thinks open source is only for amateurs.

in 3 Reasons Firefox Ubiquity is Useless to Most Users on Radical Behavior
What's the purpose of this post? C and Python are useless to most users also so are you going to write an article about that, too? How about IEs Developer Toolbar?

So I guess Professor Pickle is right.

in 2008/04/30/are-you-frustrated-with-firefox/ on Mashable - The Social Media Guide
I don't get it. I've been running Firefox for two years and never have the problems others complain about. And that is now on 10 systems I maintain for family and friends. Yes, I've seen it crash here and there but it's rare. I read some say it uses 500Mb or even 1Gb of ram but I've never seen it go over 148Mb and, right now, with 15tabs open, I'm using 128Mb.

I just don't get it.
