Sorry but Visual Studio >>> Eclipse. It may be proprietary and not support the 100 languages Eclipse does, but for the languages does support, it is hands down 100 times better than Eclipse. Hate Microsoft all you want, but their developer tools have always been first class - which is why their OS had such widespread adoption (its about getting applications on your platform, not the quality of your platform itself).
Why is this marked troll? U.S used 9/11 to justify the murder of far more innocent civilians. It is atrocities committed by Americans around the world that need never be forgotten.
If only there were an option for those who don't want to be tracked by repressive governments...
The citizenry of a "Free Country" as America claims to be should not have to resort to such measures in order to hide their day-to-day activities from their government.
Especially as repressive regimes more effectively monitor their dissidents online (rather than simply blocking access), the sanctions focus on companies that help them do that."
So then US gov, what you're saying is you should place sanctions on yourself and the companies that aid you?
You missed the point. To change storage providers you don't have to make sure 100 different websites use your new "address" - like an email address or a phone number.
Fine, but then they can't complain that usage caps are because "the last mile is overloaded". Peering arrangements are cheap as dirt and are not the bottleneck during high usage. The usage caps are based on a lie, precisely built to drive consumers away from other content providers and into their own content services. They are abusing their monopoly in one vertical to manipulate another - and they need to be taken to task for it (I prefer public lynchings, but breaking up the company works too)
I'm from Canada and I love the legal system but hate the weather. I've joked several times that Canada needs to buy a large strip of land in California and create a new province.
I work for an American cloud service provider, and even we do not want to store our(customers') data in the U.S. The patriot act is a huge obstacle when selling to foreign customers. Hence why we have a major data center in Canada, and are looking at putting one in the U.K.
Coming from a Euro (based on your dislike of the US)
The whole world hates the U.S. Don't be so fast to pinpoint Europe. The U.S. has been trampling on the rights of every other country in the world for decades. That shit will come back to haunt you.
In Ohio, if the store has a no return policy, and the product is defective, they may not have to give you a return of their own accord - but if you took them to civil court you will most likely be able to get your money back.
Just because there is no law that specifically states "stores must exchange items", does not mean that normal contract laws do not imply. It is the enforcement of a that contract that is the difficult part of the consumer. This is why consumer protection laws (in other jurisdictions) were invented in the first place - to save the system from having to deal with hundreds of lawsuits over a $5 batteries.
Not according to the laws where I live - any probably any contract law where you live. Buying a product from a merchant is a contract, and said contract includes an implicit understanding that the product is of merchantable quality. If the product is defective, the contract is void and the price you paid for it must be returned.
That entirely depends on what the patent portfolio includes. Android doesn't use "Netscape", but it may very well use something that could be loosely construed to be infringing these patents.

P.S. get Resharper and NUnit.

You lost me when you complimented Bing.
Solar power also cools the earth...
So what you're saying is we need global warming to fix it? I'll just go drive my SUV around the block a couple times.

I'm considering buying a Synology server and using this

Combine with a DDNS and you have your own self-hosted Dropbox/GDrive.
Anyone have any experience with this?
The summary reads like an advertisement. No actual facts and just full of opinions. This should be titled "Review: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS".

If doing exactly this wasn't CBCs mandate (the entire reason they were created), I might have a problem with it. As it stands, QQ Moar Rogers et al.
and can get the politician thrown out of office if the bribe exceeds $1000
*wonders if its worth $1000 of his own money to get Stephen Harper thrown out* --- cause I'm pretty sure he'd take it.

I think the biggest hurdle would be switching the IT infrastructure to windows and then being committed to sticking with that choice for ever.
See Mono
Oracle doesn't care about that stuff. They will say just about anything so that Larry Ellison can buy another yacht.

Actually, stores aren't required to take returns

The question to be asked is how MS will use these patents to raise fees on Android
Pretty much this...
Oil is subsidized by the government. The price does not reflect the fair market value, it is far too low.
