I'm throwing my 2 cents in, although I haven't built a large scale app with either, I did do a full evaluation of both before my latest large app and I decided on neither one. Ther…

I don't get this line of thinking. Do you know there are programs written on system/36 machines from the early eighties still in production today on ibm iSeries machines? And even …

it isn't, it's all political.

just wanted to say that if alcohol is related to 31% of the deaths in driving crashes. Then being sober accounts for 69% of the deaths therefore it is safer to be drunk then to be …

IE9's debug tools are hands down the best at this point in time. Although Chrome's is cacthing up, pound for pound you will be far more productive in IE9s debug tools then firebug,…

VMs run all of them crazy easily. And using unity you can have all versions on your desktop at once and open. I do it every day. My default browser is IE 9, so when i launch I alwa…
