eswangren | 13 years ago | on: Is C/C++ worth it?
Right, but people who are using node.js aren't writing C. Of course C comes into play to do the heavy lifting, but we're not talking about infrastructure. Writing a web server and writing a website are two very different problem domains.

I was under the impression that application programming using node.js was done primarily in JavaScript...
eswangren | 13 years ago | on: Is C/C++ worth it?
Who the hell is writing C when JavaScript is an option? I mean, I love C, and I don't know JavaScript well, but they don't really live in the same problem domain.

It's easy to call people cowards when you're not in their situation and likely never will be. I'd like to see what you would do if you actually made that kind of money.

Unbreakable? Bah, torture would work, and that's much faster than cracking a password.

Also, the majority wins, so if two voted to close as a dup and three voted for off topic the. It gets closed as OT.

The fact that they are buying a PC from best buy says it all really...

Why wOuld I feel the need to inspect a book before buying it? I am working under the assumption that no pages will be missing. It's worked out fine thus far. You do realize that purchasing items over the Internet has been working well for some time now, right?

Because using a stronger password somehow nullifies security holes in an OS?

Is a "JavaScript ninja" conceptually similar to a "my little pony samurai"?
eswangren | 13 years ago | on: StackOverflow(SO) allows to ask only 6 questions in 24 hours
Honestly, if you have to post six questions in the span of a day you aren't trying very hard to answer them on your own first. The screenshot only serves to prove my point for me.

Don't forget the all important #3; riding a Segway makes you look like a total tool.

How can one kill that which is already dead?

And by "limited cases" I assume you mean "performance critical code"?

That I can agree with.
eswangren | 13 years ago | on: Kim Dotcom: Joe Biden Ordered the Megaupload Shutdown
"the second most powerful office in the country". We are talking about the vice presidency here, correct?
eswangren | 13 years ago | on: Kim Dotcom: Joe Biden Ordered the Megaupload Shutdown
We call this corruption or perhaps incompetence here too. Where people from outside the US get the idea that we're all a bunch of blind, unthinking, flag waving yokels I do not know.

It does? Last I checked my gmail was full of letters to/from my mom and spam. Hardly "everything I do" on the Internet. I also willingly signed up for gmail because, you know, it offers a service that is useful for me. Hard to make that argument here.

Yes, we should all just hold hands, sing kumbaya, and subsist on the gum drops and jelly beans that rain from the sky.
