This being SJVN, I'm sure somebody's going to come up with something unfriendly to say, but... Yes. Absolutely. Can't argue with you at all. |

But dino! He left out the Important Reasons! Like how being a member of the Leet Geek Club gets you a cool secret handshake, a pre-ripped pre-stained T-shirt, and a 17" MacBook Pro running Gentoo Linux in text mode. X.org isn't even installed. Oh yes, and it is a good article. |

In the original article (to which SJVN is railing against) it said: "Microsoft.Net Creates End-to-End Framework That Offers Lower TCO" From my experience whenever I see the phrase "End-to-End" I am immediately deeply suspicious. This meaningless buzzword really irritates me for some reason. Anyone using it is usually a donkey. |

Well, TC, you scurrilous chick-thing, I knew I could count on you to erect a straw man, douse it with gasoline, and then watch public television while wearing a tin-foil hat underneath your polyethene pyramid as you stroked your crystals. Wait...the coffee's wearing off...yeah...oh, that's better. Yup...it is a good article. |

>Anyone using it is usually a donkey. Hardly. Donkeys are good honest beasts of burden. A little contankerous perhaps, but very useful in their way and their day. |

Has to be the best article I've ever seen from SJVN, he pretty much nailed every point... |

He gets most of it right. If I wanted to be nit-picky I'd have to point out that all that AJAX-ey Web 2.0 stuff is built around browsers supporting the XMLHttpRequest (XHR for short) that was developed by Microsoft. Quoting:And, funny isn't it, how all the talk about Web 2.0 development seems to focus on AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) and not on anything out of Microsoft? So the X in Ajax came out of Microsoft. However MS never did anything fun or interesting with it, like the patented 'yellow fade' technique. SJVN isn't a developer, so he wouldn't really know that kind of stuff. |

The point about "Desktop Linux [Being] Immature and Perhaps Unnecessary" made me laugh, laugh, LAUGH... |

dangit dino, I'm getting tired of your subtle, nuanced slams that sneak up on me hours later. I'll have you know my crystals have never even touched plastic. They are made of genuine, 100% crystalline-like stuff. |

>They are made of genuine, 100% crystalline-like stuff. So long as they're genuine. |

They are! Just like my genuine faux string of pearls. Faux is a small South Pacific island known for the extraordinary quality of its pearls. |
