I created a clip on YouTube from my dashboard-camera to show a relative across the country what my neighborhood was like. My radio was on, just barely audible.
I uploaded the video and it was blocked by YouTube for "copyright infringement". Apparently, you can just barely hear a song playing IN THE BACKGROUND. And so I am a criminal music thief.
That was when I built my own server, and now I post my own content on my own server to share with friends. YouTube and their lawyers can suck it.
The "cloud" is the bane of civilization. It is ALL bad, 100% rotten festering crap supported by scumbag lawyers.

Tesla co-founder, Marc Tarpenning called hydrogen fuel cells a “scam”. He also said out loud what many in the industry are thinking – that energy companies are supporting the technology for its inefficiency. See attached podcast for full hydrogen fuel cell rant.

Now that we have shipped RC2 I want to give more details on the .NET Core tooling moving from .xproj / project.json to .csproj / MSBuild.
In case that one tweet didn't provide enough information.

No, I'm saying, if it were my software, I'd be the only one to get away.

Visual Basic was launched by Bill Gates at Windows World on May 20, 1991 and since then has gone through has fourteen releases. The pinnacle release, as far as many of are concerned was VB6, the final non-dot-net version. To celebrate VB's Silver Anniversary let's re-open the campaign to open source VB6. You were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they 'should.'

Oh for f***s sake, why?!?!
So we can have a few branches of VB6 that don't work with each other as the parties that want it so bad will go to war as to which direction to take it?
I sure as sh*t wouldn't want a production app written in any of those abominations running around my enterprise.

Then, when someone wants the same thing for, let's say... the first iteration of C#... we can echo your sentiments then as well.
It's not about the language (VB, C#, etc), its about how forked up it would get.

Quote: I sure as sh*t wouldn't want a production app written in any of those abominations running around my enterprise. Believe it or not, I only recently (fairly) worked a contract converting some VB3 apps that were in in production in an "enterprise"... if that wasn't bad enough I had to convert them to VB6 to enable them to run on Windows 7...
It's true, I'll do just about anything for money.

This "open source everything" campain should really stop. Open sourcing the language will NOT fix anything and is likely to introduce even more problems
Those people should really bite the bullet and learn VB.Net at the very least.

It will run nicely on my steam powered abacus

Huh? This isn't talking about open sourcing software built with VB. It's about open sourcing VB the language and (presumably) the IDE.
Besides, Classic VB is trivially decompiled (done it several times myself). Open source or not, those critical systems you're talking about are already available to anyone with time on their hands.
