Odd, because in the rural area where I live we basically get nothing for our "contribution" besides the mail.
Unless one would count farm subsidies (which generally don't go to small farms like they advertise but usually go to factory-farms), I doubt there is any bleeding effect.
The upside of Endless War is that the more gullible of our rural tax-consuming citizens will offer their lives to a government that doesn't care about them.
The downside is the cost, death and destruction.
But given the 'salt of the earth' I've been hearing at McCain/Palin rallies...which is the lesser of the two weevils?
"rural tax-consuming" How do you figure that the rural areas consume more taxes?

Actually, I don't remember off the top if my head. Most of the items are new with 3.0, though some were in the prior version. They were little things, but having studied programming languages in my past they struck me as being out of place and/or redundant.
I just remember getting the impression that it was designed with a purpose to start and that as time goes on there are people at MS saying "hey, this would be a more cool way to do this than the way we already have to do it." and getting the language changed to add the coolness to it.
The items were small enough that they don't stand out in my mind and I didn't really feel like looking them up...:)

Their target is Linux and they develop on Windows? I don't hear of that much...
In my opinion C# is not that great a language, but my background is C/C++/Objective-C, not Java. As I come across more of the strange constructs in the language, my opinion is that it is not really "designed" anymore as it is trying to add "let's make this one thing look more simple" at the expense of consistency.
I guess many people use it and like it, but I am not all that impressed with it...
