> You should live outside USA for a while That's amusing, considering I was born in Mexico. Keep trying to 'school' me though, you're doing great.

To paraphrase Jamie Zawinski, all online conversations about geopolitics expand until the United States is at fault.

Even in Visual Studio that's not true, at least not for me. Just move the cursor to the symbol in question, hit the menu key and select the 'Go to definition' or whatever menu item…

You seem to come across as petulant rather than someone who is challenging an entrenched competitor with innovation or whatever. Less talking, more doing. Just a thought.

That was a shame. I'm still using Winamp 2.81 (from 2002, 10 years ago). As long as it continues to work on Windows, I'll never let it go. Never could get used to the later version…

Without intending to pass judgement on the author of the article, the word you're looking for here is 'sleazy'.

Go troll somewhere else.

You can say the same about just any other politician. They all made (and make) mistakes and stumble. The key is how history judges them. In the case of Reagan I think history is pr…

I typed "semen", "goat cheese" and "monkey wrench" expecting a serious answer. Not disappointed.

Good luck hitting a whitetail at 400 yards with one of those.

The fact that this guy may be wrong does not justify brutally downvoting his comments until they are nearly invisible. That detracts enormously from the discussion and makes HN loo…

Actually prior to the dark ages most programming answers (for me at least) were to be found on the Deja USENET archives.

I'm not implying that nothing has changed with Linux, just with its situation in the desktop.

I stand corrected, thank you. I thought it was far higher.

> To apple's credit, they've provided a web standards based browser If Microsoft did that with IE, would you then be OK with it? Or why give Apple a pass based on that?
