Marc,
The real issue here is about proper attribution to others' work. The story is indeed great, as many other great things, but betcha you will not present Maxwell's equations, or Pythagorean theorem as your own work? Lucky enough, such phenomenally great pieces of work carry the attribution to the originator in the very name, but there are also smaller things that are not so clearly associated with their authors, thus, following the rule of professional ethics, proper attribution is a must!
Have a great day.
Kind Regards,
AB

It was an amusing story posted on a geek web forum, not a peer-reviewed essay in Science.

Today I changed my profile from
Quote: I am a French programmer.
These days I spend most of my time within the .NET framework.
to
Quote: I am a French programmer.
These days I spend most of my time with the .NET framework, JavaScript and html.
Is it the beginning of the end of the love story?

I've never used the French programming language.
I hear it's objectionably oriented.

Same here (except the French part).
I feel good in fact.

I spend all of my coding time loving .NET, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS to bits. Especially CSS. So no, I don't think this indicates a necessary end of any love.

Pascal,
Relax and take it easy: even Microsoft Programmer-veterans time to time have to switch from DOS to Windows 
Have a great weekend.
Best,
Alexander
