    Not sure what you think it proves, other than a lazy programmer is a lazy programmer, no matter what language they work in. I have seen more suspicious information left in code before.

    Everyone should just use pure machine code IMO.

    Binary would be the answer to all the bugs and stupid programming mistakes, in case the programmer cannot solve a specific problem, he could fill the empty space with zeros.

    machine code huh..you'd have a lot fewer programmers out there for sure .

    The lowest level I ever got was assembly language and I'd rather give my computer away and stare at a rock than have to write any more of that stuff.

    NOD32 is largely written in assembly-language.
    BTW, if MS had not invented the beast,
    would the typical authors of cheap-GUIs and
    related stuff have chosen Java or VB6 instead of C and C++

    So a lazy mechanic would be one that uses a ratchet?

    Can the job of a mechanic be ever adequately compared to the job of a programmer?

    Certainly. A good programmer will know his tools. A simpler meathod does not always mean easy nor lazy.

    A good programmer certainly would not be fooled by Microsoft's propaganda
    regarding the alleged advantages of a wannabe-java runtime environment.

    A good programmer would way up the pros and cons of the tools, the cost of implementation and maintenance, and make a considered choice.

    They would not choose based simply on a dogmatic, anti-microsoft approach to all things computing.

    I know we have a lot of very anti-microsoft people here, and I could really care less where allegiances lay, however no-one raises as many posts as you simply to bag Microsoft, rather than because the post has some real merit.

    Don't self censor if you believe in what you are saying.

    I have no great allegiance to any of them. I have managed everything from Apples to Windows servers to large Unix boxes. I have managed and coded projects is everything from HP/UX script, C, C++, VB, .net., Ingres, Algol, Pascal, and worse, configured systems such as Sebol and SAP. All of them have a place, and all of them have been cursed in equal measure as warranted.

    I just don't understand dogmatic stances on any topic, be-it OSes, religion or breakfast cereal.

    Herr guns1inger: I did NOT read your latest reply, and I won't.
    Your fervorous "trollhunting" will keep leading you to many places,
    except to The Promised Land.

    Some things, yes. Can't think of one off-hand.

    I'm with you on OS. They're tools, and each works different. Some are better at one task than another, but none are ever "better" as the fanboys would have you believe. I too work on a varied number of machines, and I can use them all just fine. I do prefer my Windows machine, but it's for video-related reasons, more or less. Never have understood the anti-MS dogma.

    I have no idea of what you could be possibly talking about.
    My comprehension of the English language does not include many of its
    idiomatic expressions and/or the historical/"cultural" background
    on which these latter were born.

    all I see is rational argument (gs) followed by an irrational response.
    You see "rational arguments" in the inconditional pro-MS speeches of Mr. guns1inger
    and of Sir JohnnyMalaria simply because you and they share the same biases and prejudices --- period.
    And FYI, it was the troll named nTekka who transformed my fair criticisms of this and that MS product
    into raw "anti-Microsoft zealotry" --- and since that day too many people have been swallowing
    that sophismatic accusation without a grain of salt.

    Surely and it's actually a very good comparison. Just like the programmer will have to know whats in his "toolbox", what's the best tool to use and how to use those tools so does a mechanic. A mechanic is also going to need a wide array of general knowledge about many fields if he wants to be successful, electric, hydraulics, air systems, heating, a/c ... the list goes on. With todays cars the backyard mechanic that only need to know where the plug on the oil pan was is a thing of the past. A good mechanic, especially one with a lot of experience, is irreplaceable.

    s'funny how anyone who doesn't agree with Midzuki's irrational anti-M$ rants are immediately labeled unconditionally pro-M$.

    @ Midzuki : if you bothered to actually read my posts you will see that I have not made any pro-Microsoft statements. All I have simply stated is that I don't understand your vehement yet unsupported anti-M$ stance or why you bother to start mindless threads to bag them with actually providing any rationale.

    As for trollhunting - who needs to hunt when all I have to do is open any thread started by you. The content will always be predictable.

    how is someone mentioning that they have worked on all different kinds of systems and saying they all have their pro's and cons a biased opinion? Do you understand what that word bias means in english?

    Again, you're not talking rationally and thinking things through. Your MS hatred is clouding your judgement and making you say foolish things which you then have to go back and delete. You should try to use your brain before using your fingers sometime. The only person with a bias is you.

    I love MS and I'd use dotNET if I could program but I can't so who cares anyway

    and yes a good mechanic would use certain tools to make his job easier. I'm amazed at some of the tools at my mechanic mates disposal. In the old days all I had was an 80 piece socket set and 10 piece screwdriver set to work on my old Mk I Ford Escort

    Not to get off topic, but when did they stop making cars with a little style? Hell, even the "economy" line of cars looked hot back in the day. Now, thy're all just cookie-cutter plain to ugly as hell.
