Function prototypes were a feature added to C when it became an ANSI standard to help avoid errors. The behaviour you are seeing is certainly normal - that is the way things would have worked back in the K&R days.
Well if Marxist Hacker is as marxist as his name would indicate, then for ideological reasons he probably believes everything is a commodity... at least my understanding of Marx's reasoning about the fall of the capitalist system is his belief that price competition between competing capitalists would erode profit to the point where profit would no longer exist and there then there would be no capitalists.
I agree with you - I think that most software development has always been service based rather than product based, and there are always going to be areas where people are going to prefer local developers to foreigners.
Leonhard Euler had 13 children, lived to be 76, published over 800 papers, half of which were in the last 17 years of his life (after he went blind), according to wikipedia.
I work for a company that makes low cost military flight simulators for prototyping of new equipment. Often we will use touch screen monitors to mock up instrument displays.
In terms of rapid prototyping, it is quite easy to modify a display, and the touch screens allow for interaction with the various knobs and dials.
It is mostly appropriate for displays that do not normally allow for that much interaction, as the pilot is missing the tactile cues that are present with a physical knob, and so the touch screen requires more attention and is more difficult to use than a physical knob.
One problem with working with touch screens is that after a while you tend to expect all LCDs to be touch screens and end up poking them inappropriately.
Strictly speaking the relational model doesn't specify how data is stored, only how it is retrieved. XML is a storage format; there is no reason why a relational database couldn't use XML for storage.
Like many people, Slackware was my first distro, back in 1996. There is nothing wrong with a minimal distribution - I downloaded the disk sets one at a time over my 14.4 modem. You learn a lot from having to work with the minimum.
I play with NetBSD today for the same reason. The default install doesn't even set up networking for you.
If I want something on my system, I will download the source and compile it. That way you know exactly what the dependencies are and what is on your system. Its more fun that way.

If it is only $1, why not just send them a cheque?

Google about the softwood lumber dispute with Canada. The US continues to impose duties despite the WTO repeatedly ruling in favour of Canada.
As to whether or not that counts as "major"...
Yes, because from what I've heard ubisoft has an oh-so great reputation for treating their employees well...
My wife works for an organization that deals with a lot of first nations people. Some of them have digits as well as letters in their names.
Nice try though.
A counter example to your claim:
