Pike does this to a fairly decent extent. Its more or less C as a scripting language with objects(I avoid saying C++ because of syntactical ugliness in the connotation). I've used it for a few small things, I haven't had the time to really explore the language in depth, but i have a hell of an XML-RPC server running in it.
<KarmaHit> I would agree totally. There are tons of software packages that are just total crap and make windows look terrible.
I would never use windows on a server(I'm partial to FreeBSD there), but for a desktop, Windows 2000 and XP Coporate are quite good. They certainly both have issues, but they are certainly less scary than some of the loveliness that X dishes out. I would prefer being able to drop into some sort of CLI if the graphics fail, but I haven't had too much of a problem with that, and I push my workstations pretty hard(I'm a developer, and my workstations run multiple servers like Apache/MySQL and get a good pounding. Not to mention nightly compiles...). Also, most of the development tools I use work just fine on windows, even cygwin based stuff.
Overall, at this point, all of the linux kiddies and zealots need to get over themselves. Windows is just fine for a workstation. And yes, Borland sucks:) </KarmaHit>
I agree totally. I do occasionally take days off for personal business, but that is for things like car maintenance and the like, where I could not possibly be at work. Things like online banking, online bill pay, and auctions are not an excuse to take a day off.
However it is a horrendously bad idea to block access to things that are not directly inappropriate, like porn and online casinos. I highly doubt you are losing more than 10 - 20 minutes a day on this, and how much time is lost in impromptu meetings in hallways, at watercoolers, etc or long lunches? I would say that the costs at my old company(where I had to implement this) were far higher than the benefits of a few minutes of time lost.
Talisman seems to be pretty cool, my girlfriend likes it alot, and it appears to be fairly customizable. I haven't used it all that much(GNOME user:P), but it seems pretty easy to play with and they offer a 30 day trial download. Of course, if you don't want to pay...geoshell works nicely.

In today's legal system, there ought to be a way you can get some sort of reparations from them for your humiliation and all the crap they put you through. You can obviously prove that you had a legitimate receipt and are due a product. They cannot prove anything about what you did. Then again, they are a huge corporation, and are apparently very imaginative with their statements...
I was referring to the average MP3 you find out there, and which this guy would be downloading, which is done at 128bps with an average encoder. It's awful, but that is the status quo on all of the major filesharing networks. As well, I still stand by my statement, if you want the music buy the damn cd, don't be pretentious and whine to us about your precious "entertainment dollar".
I don't know about anyone else, but if I'm paying for music, I want it in the best quality possible, which is NOT mp3. The original wav tracks on the cd ALWAYS sound better than anything that has been encoded. I would not pay for downloadable mp3s, and I think many a studio engineer would be kicking themselves for trying to hard to give you a good sounding record that you are then going to listen to in a bastardized form. Go buy the damn cd's, they aren't that expensive, and they ought to be worth it to you. MP3 is nothing more than a convenience measure, for original quality, the cd will always win.
With regards to your ISO idea, why should artists put together complete albums if you are just going to hack them to bits without having a good listen first. And by the way, CDNOW already allows you to create custom cds(for a large price).
Go buy the cds and dont whine to everyone about your entertainment dollar. It suited you fine before Napster came out.
It really depends, I tend to combine Perl and C/C++ alot for SSI's and utilities that I write. I suppose whatever works...Might be tough if cross-platform developing matters to you though.

For an example of why languages should not allow myriads of syntax, see Perl.

Did anyone else notice the process list? Microsoft is listed as a process...
