I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I'd like to sell him ;).<p>You're absolutely right, he's just too gullible. I don't think he's taking money from these companies which products he's pushing but to someone else it might look that way.<p>ANY dev environment that requires you to download and install a runtime before you can run an app is bound for failure. Web apps will be impossible to beat... and they run on anything! You think you'll ever be able to run these RIA on a phone?! Not any time soon.

It seems to be a 13MB download: <a href="http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp">http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp</a><p>100MB is probably the SDK, which you don't need for running applets.<p>The problem with plugins is not so much the size, though, it is the administrator rights. A lot of people surf the net from their offices in big corporations, where they might not have the rights to install anything on their computers.

The interesting thing to me in this story is that MSFT spent <i>ten hours</i> selling Arrington on this. They must really care what the startup community thinks of them.<p>If I were in his position, though, I'd be cautious about saying stuff like "Silverlight will be the platform of choice for developers who build rich Internet applications." If this turns out to be true, it will be the first time since the mid 1980s that Microsoft has produced a platform voluntarily adopted by good hackers (as opposed to something they had to use to make stuff work on Windows).

I'm no MSFT fanboy, but Silverlight does seem to be a real step up from Flash, which is the next closest thing out there. I agree that it's extremely premature for anyone to say something like "Silverlight will be the platform of choice for developers who build rich Internet applications", but it would not surprise me if Silverlight gains wide adoption (as long as it truly is as cross-platform as Microsoft claims).<p>Of course, it's possible that the APIs and development tools suck despite all the hoopla and good features. I haven't looked at the beta SDK.

That's not what I'm saying. I agree that Digg shouldn't censor it. My point is that the original poster shouldn't have posted it.<p>Clearly, the intention of this particular number is to steal. It's not enough that pirates steal, but they have to publicize their behavior and tactics and encourage others to follow them. It's this type of publicity that fools people into thinking that somehow digital piracy isn't equivalent to walking into Best Buy and shoplifting. <p>I can only hope that one day these characters get caught and have to face the MPAA in court.

It won't be long before they bundle it with IE and then start adding features that only work with IE. I don't think microsoft has the patience to do it any other way. <p>Also it's now becoming clear why microsoft was never interested in putting support for SVG in IE.

Wow, this is huge. I honestly think we might be witnessing a turning point in the history of the web - it almost reminds me of the french revolution. The masses are rioting, and torching the digital property of the elite. And those hex numbers have become this movement's rallying call. <p>What we know is that with 2.0, control over online content has been handed to the users. What we don't know is how the users will decide to wield this power, and the effect it will have on the likes of digg/youtube/etc.

I'm reading promising things about Silverlight. Blowing it off because it's from Microsoft would be a mistake, though it'd be wise to be wary considering failed promises of the past.<p>I want to read more on hands-on SDK experiences before I think any more of it.

Revolution is a bit strong, after all they're just sat down clicking away at a digg button. It is however interesting to see so many people object to DRM & DMCA. I'm curious as to the legal outcome, after all its just a number being shared.

Voting is the core concept of any Democracy. Voting is Democracy in action.If Clicking Digg button sounds silly , thats because we are living in a pretty advanced world, although we don't care.

There's a funny line where a social networking startup has a meeting with a VC.<p>The startup guys claim they're going to the next MySpace.<p>But the VC isn't impresseed, he retorts "Tell me why you aren't going to be the next Friendster" !<p>

I like your color scheme and your design a lot. There is nothing bad about it, except perhaps giving the text in the box more room to breathe. This must be a trick question, because the design is so good.<p>So please send me an invite. :) ([email protected])

But will they open source it, like Adobe did with Flex?<p>Making it cross-platform (in the short term) is a great strategy, because then, if it gains acceptance, they can force you back on Windows in the long run (assuming it stays closed during that time span).

So you control the entire server as root, you get 1 TB of bandwidth, and it's $50 a month?<p>Wow, that's the best combination so far... they do skimp on RAM and HD size, compared to some of the others.<p>Is it too good to be true? What disadvantages or problems have other people seen?

So the lesson is that every single developer should rewrite all of their complicated code (the code which uses closures and circular referencing) so that the major browser developers can avoid writing a good GC algorithm?<p>It reminded me of this story from the Jargon File: <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/koans.html#id3141202">http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/koans.html#id3141202</a><p>So we should believe that browser developers are no more advanced than students from the 70s?

I've been looking for a reason to leave Chase ever since they bought out Bank One. I had no problems with Bank One, banking with them for several years. I then got a credit card with Chase that was attached to my checking account, and after one payment that was a day late, they raised my APR from 0% (intro) to 24%. Calling them and mentioning that I had been a long-time customer did no good. Now that I've paid off the card and seen this submission, I'm at the point where I'm ready to end my associations with Chase altogether.

I think it just reflects how hard it is to get attention these days.<p>I didn't mind it because it was fairly novel (mail we get to that address is usually either a feature request or a user complaint), and <i>seemed</i> legit.<p>But if tons of other groups start advertising their events this way, it could get tiring, fast.
