If you say so. Considering how little I've posted on tech threads in recent months I'm having a hard time accepting I've done anything "on a number of occasions". his name isn't that familiar to me (well it is now) so he's not in my memory as friend or foe (or fun guy to read, that's where B2K is in my personal list, we've actually seriously butted heads a few times, but you weren't on those threads).
I'm far too lazy to do the multiple account thing, I'm big into cookies and automatic logins, just makes things simpler. Back in the old BBS days I even kept the same handle on every board, who am I now is just not a question I feel like pondering before making a post. Actually even now I'm discostu just about everywhere, one of the keys to surviving when you're absent minded is to minimize the amount of stuff you have to remember.
I don't attack you because you develop in Java. I actually like Java, though I think the sandbox is a little limiting. I attack you because you lie. Stop lieing I'll be on your side, if B2K keeps giving you crap then I'l hound his butt. The only impact you're making is on the keyboard industry, many keyboards have died fighting your BS, luckily they're cheap (actually Office Max in Tucson has keyboards right now that are $10 with a $10 dollar rebate, can'tget much cheaper than that).
But you don't say it should be tested heavily before mission critical release. No, I say it shouldn't be used for mission-critical work *until* it has been tested heavily on smaller tools.
An honest, correct assessment I've applied to every single new tech I've ever dealt with.
And no one ever consider that 'damning' or 'insulting', until now.
Because I'm a Java develeloper, so if I say it, I am to be attacked.
That is the 'common' thread. MS-only folks flame Mac folks because they like Macs, Linux folks because they like Linux, Java folks because they like Java . . .
Meanwhile, an MS-only person can say the most insane, outrageous, insulting, rude things and ya'll don't bat an eye.
Ya'll flame me because I'm a Java developer, and Java 'threatens' your MS-only world.
