That's wrong. 7 is really good. Comparing it to vista or xp shows you don't know what you are talking about.

I understand your point. I use a text editor usually, but lately I've used Eclipse with java for a fairly big project (with a team and svn ecc).

And it seems to me that for the way web application are moving toward client-side, the bulk of the code will be on javascript in the future or a greater chunk of it.

What I liked about Eclipse&java is of course code completion (for the logWordsJavaUsesForClassesAndPackage) but most of all the order it brings to all of that comlpexity (classes, packages, enums, the use of different patterns ecc).

if think the more we go toward a complexification (does it exists in english ;P) of javascript projects, the more we are going to need something that bring order in the chaos.

Otherwise we will be a bit overwhelmed by the code of a language not born to do what we are using it for today.

not good...it's tiring to not rest your fingers on a surface. your muscles need to rest, your fingers need to touch.

"and we all know that it's only serious if you unfollow." eheheheh

if you think economy lives outside a state, you are not paying attention to the number of laws you have to respect. And, by the way, there is no economy without States.

Well, if you think fishing and hunting are economy, go with that.

Business lives in a community of people , a State. We, as the People, can decide the rules.

Economy has no rules outside the square we create. So, there's no such thing as Economy per se.

You have to remember that the reason a group of people doesn't go out and take what they want is that there is a State, there are laws, there is a monopoly of legitimate force (the police): all of this can survive only if there is a contract between state and the people. All the people, not just the rich or who has a job or <put a category here>

Value creation is bullshit. You create job when a. you need a service b. you can't do it with the resource you have c. you can't automate with a machine d. you can afford hiring someone d. the income you generate can support it

Value does not exists per se.

You are so simplicistic here, guys, when you talk about rich and poor.

I know you are not so young, but sometimes it seems you are a group of small kids talking about life.

That's the OPPOSITE of the beginner's mind. And the beginner's mind is the zen way.

Jobs didn't see his choice just because was the only one: it is that the other people had already discarded that option because they were "expert player"

And by the way, zen is not about knowledge is about leaving the words to the dogs to eat and being in touch with the present time.

I think people should use software like oracle and look and read (some of) its enormous amount of documentation to understand what it can do BEFORE saying it is shit.

Oracle is a very very very good database. Stop with this non sense

yeah the future is social media....good luck

It's stupid. Economy doesn't exists in a vacuum. It' very influenced by politic. And saying politic I mean the way a society decide to use its finite resources AND the rules a society define for his citizens. And an Economy simply lives there, in circle of rules.

So if minimum wage let some people out, the same happens not letting children work. And why taking care of people with physical problems (no hands? no legs? why the State, using public money should care? You are a problem just let you take care of yourself)?

You set the rules of your society. It doesn't exists something called free market. The market is defined by the rules of the society AND the society change in time AND space. So the market change in time AND space.

And these Friedman bullshit are the same you hear over and over and over.

And I'm a bit tired.

I think you have some problem connecting with his view of the society how-it-should-be. You move in a given universe and you accept the rules: you by the way want to use that rules and accept the consequences on society and mankind of those rules. He think differently. He, among many others, think rules are wrong and the outcome is a wrong society.

Dismissing what he says is dismissing philosophy or sociology, disciplines that for their very nature do not accept the status quo and want to test the rules our world is based on.

By the way, after reading some of his writing, I can say that he writes really damn well.

Banks are not government provided. They are private. And all the time saying that is Government fault when the market turn to shit, it means that it is not science just something you want to be true, no matter what.

If something can't be proved false, you know...

Companies are about money. Countries are about people. Taxes build services that are used by people. "Web Services" doesn't count too much as a service. I would live without google search no matter what people say. But what about hospital, street, public transportation, cheap houses for poor people, and on and on and on...our society is based on taxes. The reason why people have to pay taxes is to build a better society. Look at what is happening in Britain with Cameron: no money to fix the deficit. Poor people take it all over their a@@#@.

And, to put that simple, we are not talking about a couple of thousands dollar a software engineer is not paying: we are talking about millions (billions?). Greed is bad, is fucking bad. And all this talking about disruptive innovation is usually a bunch of stupid Internet Services to play with. I think the hacking community is overestimating its value.

No cancer cure. No cheap energy. No cleaner air. Just some web app, iPhone app, something app.

Google taxes would fix a lot of problems, just letting millionaires a bit more poor. I can live with that, why you can't?

you know, something like yahoo mail...

In Enterprise Company there is no such thing as "Auto Upgrade"

thanks...I'll try to fix. As I said it was just for internal use (only windows), so I din't test too much.

Do you tested also the app?

By the way, send me an email to info@tnsmagic.com, I will reply with the info you asked. :)

Hi, yes you are right. The site, while the text say the contrary, has been made just for the people of the office :D

The screenshot on the left is the whole software. It is just a menu coming up from a taskbar icon.

But yeah, I will collect some more info and send you. In the mean time you could install and try. It's a quite simple piece of software :) .

I know it needs to be updated to Vista + Windows 7. I'm planning doing it in the near future. I did it for internal company use and we all use Oracle software on XP Virtual Machine by now (for legacy motivation).

The license is going to expire in the next days, I need to make a new build :D

By the way, thanks to all the people going to review it.

Hey, you're welcome :)

Maybe one day you'll do the same for me.

Let us know when you have changed your message/brand.

From this kind of comment I remember why I feel sometimes a bit frustrated by the technical environment.

Unfortunately what open most your mind (as Graduating in English vs CS or Engineering) and make you a better person is not what is (probably) valuated more by our society.

And for the SA post:I feel bad reading his thoughts, sometimes. He is so cynic.

I think you must insert what are the benefits for people to use it. Just a phrase. Why I have to use it? What is in it for me?

Your homepage it's too "obscure".

I DON'T like all this belief that economic inequality is good. Is good if you are on the right side. As Keynes put it:

"For at least another hundred years we must pretend to ourselves and to every one that fair is foul and foul is fair; for foul is useful and fair is not. Avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still. "

I think wealth (the PG way) and an healthy society are not mutually exclusive.

I don't want to be rich in a desolated and poor Land. And it is not something to hope for. For you too.

I think you need to add more example where your service could be helpful. People don't realize what problems you solve until you show them. More examples, more customers.

I think it's more a fact of describing the life of upper class people. The poor characters are not so well painted too. But they live (or want to live) in the upper class world, in the book. We have only flash of the world of the "poor".

The narrator, also, is from a bourgeois family (Nick graduated from Yale).

So maybe it was just a novel describing a world. A World fading away.

uhm but people using your webapp won't know/care the way you built it (tools/language/OS), so if the time is so precious to you and other than for learning new things (that is always good, I don't say the contrary), why are you using linux instead of windows to develop your software?

I use a text editor, a shell, other tools. The idea that I want to fight is that linux is a far better environment or mac is far better than windows. I mean, just use what you want, but when you say "x" is better is just because (usually) you are mixing personal like/dislike with ideology (and in the IT community there is a lot of ideology: just think about apple...). I don't care about Microsoft, and all these talks about "the tools" are all right until a certain point. Some times, I've to be honest, seems like talking with kids. I mean really you need ubuntu to do a good job? Maybe developing rails is a far better experience on linux for some reasons I don't know (I'n not a rails develoepr): so you'll use linux. People use linux as a server because is a unix-like platform costing no money. It's better than microsoft server. Good for them and for me because I also use linux. I use windows because I'm used to this platform, I need some tools are just on Windows and I don't like too much the Apple OS. But I've to be honest, I don't like also Steve Jobs and the ideology that Apple brings with its cult. So I'm religious as you. The important thing is to be aware of why you think in a certain way and why you take certain decisions. Tools are tools are tools.

On this site a large chunk of people think about life and world and people just in an economic way. Maybe maybe, there are others who just live their life following different patterns.
