I would imagine (I have no numbers) that lots of companies that can afford a CIO also purchase Red Hat for the support in addition to having an internal Linux team of their own.
All that VB5 stuff I did back in the 90s...all that work learning DAO, RDO and ADO...no one cars now...sniff.
Good thing I learned C#, Ruby and Objective C...
It would take a week for someone to get me a message from the coast by way of the mail car on the train. Now with these "telegraph" lines everywhere I get bombarded with messages sent directly to me almost every dang day. It's like being surrounded by silent screams all the time. I barely have time to watch the crops grow after I plant them.
I say, if it can't be communicated by smoke signal (which ensures the message is important enough that the sender take the time to build a fire) then it's too far away from me to be of any import. And you're on my lawn...
At 20 pags a day you could read this cover to cover in less than two months. Weigh that against having the knoweledge in your head for much longer. You won't remember everything, of course, but you will know a lot more about javascript than you did before. Read 40 pages a day and you are done in less than a month.
I can't stress how great is is to write a application from Win 7 using Visual Studio 2010 and target the mono framework and then copy those files over to a Linux PC and or Mac with zero code changes and it all still works. I've done this. It's awesome. I don't think C# is the end all be all language to nkow. I'm loving what I'm learning with RoR and Python and I can't wait to use those platforms more...but Mono is greatness. That's my objective opinion.
And with mono-dev...perhaps you can play with the Microsoft toy and still keep your open source hands clean. I won't...I'll be using the greatness of Visual Studio 2010, but you know, there's no accounting for IDE preference.
But you can have approved apps on the Apple appstore and write your own apps and install them. Just join the developer program ($99), write your xCode and install it on your phone. Bam! Mr. Jobs doesn't come and tell you you can't do it. It's legit.
Then what's the difference between Apple's app store and the Official Market Place? If I have one official app store to choose from and hundreds of malware infected stores...how is that a choice?
Be at least 8 characters long. Have at least one upper and one lower case letter, a number, a symbol and an RGB code for your favorite color. Oh and change it every 6 months too.
What is too bad? FTFS "This is only expected to slightly delay the filming of The Hobbit, and he's expected to make a full recovery." Are you saying it's too bad that he will recover and make the movies and that you were hoping he wouldn't make the movies and some other director would take the helm?

I think what he's saying is that he thinks they will need the support, and since they can afford it, why not get it?
...and they brought us transparent glass. What's next, non-floating bricks?

Why was this modded down? It's true. You can download your stuff from Facebook.

The sad part is a I really double checked before I submitted. I really did...

American's have been predicting the demise of their country since July 5th, 1776.
I thought it was all butterflys, rainbows and one button mice. Another example of a poorly edited summary.
Of course you got modded down. You asked, "Hey, what's the big deal? Maybe it could be a good thing..."

Attention Anonymous Cowards! Let sleeping dogs lie, okay? Don't give 'em an excuse.
Trusted by who? How do I know an alternate Android market place is legit?

Have you ever embarrassed a know-it-all programmer? Talk about jackasses...
I suggest a duel, you with your ant burning magnifying glass and Mr. Jacqmain with his deathray. Let's see who wins.
