Your use case better fits Google Apps, which we use for exactly the same purpose as you without a hitch. We registered our domain when GApps was still free, but alas, now it would cost you a bit per user (you can register only one user and use people's private email addresses in a mailing list).
It's personal taste, but I have yet to find a better font than Envy Code R (http://damieng.com/blog/2008/05/26/envy-code-r-preview-7-coding-font-released) for source code editing.
Not offended at all lol. You speak of truth, well I want to rectify that, because I believe you are wrong, that's all.
To make such a comment that C# is a RAD language, I still think you must not have used it a lot. Or maybe you also consider Java to be a RAD language. In either case, I disagree.
As for why VB developers switched over C#, it's because most of them realized that VB.NET is nothing like VB and in fact it is a half-baked C#.
No, VB.NET is the new VB and C# is the new Java. It is meant as a general purpose language which blends OO and functional programming, not some RAD glue. Please use a language in a real world project before commenting on it.

Is the article making the police forces look good ? Hardly. They caught the hackers by luck (thanks to the Russian CC reseller) and it is repeated many times that Gonzalez considered them ignorant and outwitted. The lyric description of the hackers lifestyle rather glorifies them and make them look like superstars, which we all know on slashdot is far from the reality.
You have obviously never been in Montreal in your life. You go to a store and people greet you in English first. The 101 bill requires that information be also available in French, it does not exclude English. Your comment was informative up to that point. Please stick to what you actually know from experience, not hearsay.

Depending on your definition of what is a "major" database, you may want to add PostgreSQL to your list.
From their site (http://www.postgresql.org/about/)
"PostgreSQL runs stored procedures in more than a dozen programming languages, including Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, C/C++, and its own PL/pgSQL, which is similar to Oracle's PL/SQL. Included with its standard function library are hundreds of built-in functions that range from basic math and string operations to cryptography and Oracle compatibility. Triggers and stored procedures can be written in C and loaded into the database as a library, allowing great flexibility in extending its capabilities. Similarly, PostgreSQL includes a framework that allows developers to define and create their own custom data types along with supporting functions and operators that define their behavior. As a result, a host of advanced data types have been created that range from geometric and spatial primitives to network addresses to even ISBN/ISSN (International Standard Book Number/International Standard Serial Number) data types, all of which can be optionally added to the system."
Opera have allowed you to place tabs wherever you want since a long time. You can reorder/pin them and when on the sides, a dynamic thumbnail of the page is displayed.
Google *is* innovating. It does so in a similar way as Philip Glass music. You listen to it and you barely notice how it evolves and keep adding to the whole, but should make the effort of listening to the beginning and then the end, there is a *huge* difference between them. Google is slowly but surely changing our lives. Apple is more about blowing our mind, which honestly besides the iPhone, there is not much else that did it. Small incremental innovation is still innovation.
From the article: "I have also heard from a continuing stream of extraordinarily hostile young men (always men) who insist on "educating" me on the ins and outs of cybermorality, the definition of "stealing," and why I deserve to choke on my own obsolescence."
He is talking about YOU guys from slashdot. Way to go! Don't you understand that you get more bees with honey than vinegar? And further than that, that whole nasty behavior of yours make us all who tries to change mentality to look even nerdier and jerks than before. *sight*
If you expect to program in other frameworks the way you do in Java, then yes you are right, it will be painful as it should be. You need to do a mind shift and see the problems through different glasses. Functional programming is really another universe and if you have never done anything beside pure OO, it will take time for you to really see what you missed all those years. And yes, you can do everything you asked and much more.
1- 2pc is easily done with a specialized server (which should use a platform agnostic protocol) 2- single-sign-on solutions are not exclusive to Java (nor should they!) 3- session failover can easily be done by storing state in a db or specialized switches for example 4- as long as there exist an interop layer between both platform, you can do that. If JVM is the only choice, there are other languages than Java that can be used. 5- debugging/tracing is dependent on ide/tools, not the platform. Again it is not exclusive to JVM nor Java.
One framework you can try is Lift (http://www.liftweb.net) made with Scala on the JVM. You will still be able to use your frameworks of choice while learning to master Scala and its libraries. If nothing else, learning functional programming will make you a better programmer/architect.

Or they can install a single program, Opera, and be done with it.
I am curious what someone with your experience thinks of PostgreSQL ? Would you say that it can scale properly as Oracle does ?
This is a genuine question as I am pondering between both for my startup. Even thought I already done my investigations, one more opinion cannot hurt:) Assuming my current DB design holds, it will have about 50 tables, most having less than 10,000 records and some having few millions records (they will be partitioned). The volume of reads will be much higher than writes. Write queries will involve mostly 1-2 tables and short transactions. Typical read queries will require many joins (thought most can be cached or materialized as the data is quite stale).

Have you missed the last part of his comment ? The article you linked is a perfect example of what is wrong and should be fixed, as the parent poster said.
Yet it does make its point come across clearly and sensibly. I find the OP brings a balanced *opinion* on the matter. Without a thorough study and unbiased historic data, that's all you will get: opinions.

For a second, I was perplexed. It's all about a wireless gaming station. Why is the article even mentioning the Cloud ??
