1) Use a sensible naming convention. eg P_User_Create, P_User_Delete, etc. Use the naming conventions to effectively categorize your stored procs. This takes a little planning and discipline, but what "best practices" don't? The "intellisense issue" is a red herring IMHO - if anything, you're worse off in this regard without sprocs.
2) USE SOURCE CONTROL. Without trying to be nasty, you're insane (or a one man operation) if you use the database as your authoritative source for stored procs. If you have any environments beyond a production server, the ability to script installation/alteration of procs is essential.
It really is - especially v2.0. Master pages, membership API, navigation API, ease of deployment, etc are all seriously excellent features that have saved me quite a bit of time. I don't have time for platform evangelization anymore...I have too much "real work" to get done. I think MS has done a great job understanding this, and stepped up to the plate with some really nice tools to assist. There are always tradeoffs to make, but hey...
Why do you web developers keep making pages for IE
Because our customers don't give a shit whose fault it is, or who has the moral high ground, they'll go to the competition if our site looks like ass and/or doesn't work and the competition's doesn't. Sad but true.
Fairly expensive, but they seem to know what they're doing, and most importantly to a company like mine without lots of dedicated tech staff, they give a damn about solving your problems quickly and correctly.
For some reason, your post reminds me of the people who go to messageboards supporting free and open source software, and whine about features X, Y, and Z not being included.
No, because it doesn't connect to the "regular" phone system - note (from TFA) that peer to peer services such as Skype (and your hypothetical example) are not subject to these taxes.
Besides, I think you missed the whole point of GP post - Godaddy has, in the past, been one of the "good guys" on stuff like this. Clearly they are NOT in this instance. I am not attempting to argue otherwise.
I certainly did enjoy their television advertising - I just don't much like all the on-site advertising and upsells. On the other hand, I recognize that the reality of low prices and decent service is that there will be a tradeoff to make somewhere. I can deal with wading through the crap to get good prices, but I rarely recommend their services to nontechnical friends lately, just because all the options can make purchasing quite confusing.
GoDaddy is usually pretty good about pointing out BS like this (eg bogus.eu "registrars", companies taking advantage of domain registration cancellation grace period, etc). I don't much like their style of advertising, but otherwise, they have been a great company to deal with on my personal domains. I'm looking for a place to migrate my business domains as well; this story has given me some second thoughts...
Yep, guess it's big enough that it outweighs the possible Amazon commissions lost to people like me that shop around:)
BN vs Amazon

I know Amazon has software patents and all, but this (and just about every other book I see reviewed here) is ~20% cheaper at Amazon than it is at BN...
Microsoft's requirement page simply states that SVGA (800 x 600) is the minimum requirement. TFA has "minimum supported" confused with "minimum required to get a Vista Capable(tm) sticker". Guess the education campaign is working;)
My oldest machine that would meet those specifications was built in January 2001 - Athlon 1200, 512MB RAM, Geforce 2 Ultra 64MB video card, and (now dead) 60GB DeathStar HD. At the time it was fairly top end. It obviously won't be running Aero, but hey, 5 years old (6 by the time Vista gets here) and still able to run it ain't too bad.
Hmm, so there's a shitbag working for Microsoft, which automatically allows us to draw conclusions X, Y, and Z about the entire company. Allllrightythen....*sigh*. Slow news day I guess.

Thanks, I needed a laugh!

That one sounds like it's straight out of 1999. Quick, someone register a .com and call the VC firms!

Give it up and save your sanity. The retards and their "CD's" fucked us on this usage a long time ago.
Apostrophe's are everywhere now!!@!111

as to .eu, they could have paid more but did not, please do not get confused between generic terms and real trademarks - you americans love to do that.
I don't recall posting anything about trademarks...perhaps in your haste to out me as an ugly American you misread the original post?
The following is what I was referring to - and pretty much all the credible accounts of this story I can find agree with this posting:

Exactly. Skip the f'in watercooling and get a half- (or even quarter-) decent video card already.
I think I speak for all of us here at Slashdot when I say "STFU and go to hell (preferably one with lots of DRM)"

Hey! No more posting here, get back to work on episode 3! :)
In all seriousness, link away, and thanks for sharing your work - it is, hands down, the best single player mod I've seen.
Period.
I think GP was poking fun at the fact that in games like Doom3 you can't hold a flashlight in one hand and a pistol in the other - it's either, or.
Here I was thinking the bigger problem was returning enough net energy to make it worthwhile relative to the astronomical upfront costs. Silly me.
Still nifty, though.

others do it for free themselves
It's only free if your time is worthless.
Apparently, questioning the "one anecdote" policy here is also called a troll. I 3 Slashdot!
