Democracy is a culture which can only be learned by experience in a long time. You can't just put democratic institutions into a country and expect it to work without some democratic seeds in minds.
We are trying to walk on this road in Turkey for the last 100 years and still have many flaws. This part of the world is tough. Think about this.
It's slow as a dead dog. Intrepreted Java is faster.
Really? Any numbers? SUN would love to hear them.
You may pointing to the fact that, on the first use.NET IL code is compiled into native code. Since we are talking about applications used enterprise-wide 7/24 (and not about re-compiling and running Hello World! over and over again), this is not an issue. If you create an installer for the app, you may even pre-compile it at install time.
Now suppose the monopoly enjoys economies of scale not available to smaller suppliers. Price to consumer might even decrease.
If the reduced price will create more profit than higher one... How do we make sure the monopolist firm produce where P = MC? If the government support monopolies because of the economies of scale, MC of the monopoly should be known (to make sure the economy is producing at efficient output), means if only the monopoly gives the exact figures (monopolist firms have an incentive to lie about what its true MC) than the society is better off.
But it's bad to have a monopoly in any part of the economy. Monopolies can set prices higher then Duopolies, and Duopolies can set prices higher then perfect competition.
From the side of the consumer, buying from a monopoly means you are paying higher for the same product. This is simple Economics 101.
My GF works for a telco's software and ASP services division here in Turkey. One of their target sectors is logistics, where the firm rolls all the communication with people on the field with SMS and they are really benefiting this via extremely increased efficiency.
Insurance companies enable field staff to make live queries on the filed on SMS for accident cases (They are now heading to the MMS solution to include a couple images of the scene). You may ask a question, send it with SMS to TV show and the guest answers it, etc.
I don't know the case in US but if you're living in Europe, you should be blind to see the importance of SMS.
COM interop and PInvoke is a pain in the ass. Although developing on top of.NET is nice and easy, it gets much more difficult when you have marshalling in between two pieces of your code. COM interop is also a resource killer, they don't support it on small devices with.NET Compact Framework.
With all the investment in COM (COM+ after W2K) and Win32 API, COM interop and PInvoke is here to stay for a while, but I believe if MS would have known this three years ago there wouldn't be any COM+.

If you're talking about the Dilbert thing, it is by design.
If you're talking about the language thing, it is your mother tongue.;) (You know, the &hl=sv&ie=UTF8 part)
You may design your app on top of objects like COM and then integrate a VBA like suite in it to allow everyone write their own plugin thingy in the application. Of course, this is a pure MS type solution but I believe the extensibility way of the Office package is great.
Integrating VBA is a bit costly, so you may try Microsoft Scripting Runtime (scrrun.dll) instead, its free. You will still be able to use application's object model from vbscript.
This reminds me a dialogue from Asimov's (AFAIK) Robot series, where scientific improvement in space collonies come to a halt because people live too long. They prefer keeping the knowledge secret since they have enough time to research+test+conclude and acquire fame.
Imagine a life, say, 300 years long. You have enough time to write your own KDE, eh? Horrifying.
For example, a novice C programmer tends to go into excessive detail about the use of null chars to terminate strings.
This is a way of taking notes inline the code,instead of somewhere else, on the aspects of the language you are using until you memorize that feature/requirement by default. Maybe we need an editor that hides the comments under some pre-given grade by the author (if I can judge the grade of the comment I wrote properly). Everybody would adjust their viewing preferences just as in/. here.
...and they also build some other things on top of IE too. Look at PocketPC 2002. The fancy welcome screens and stuff. In XP, there's a new control acts like an hiperlink and AFAIK, you may code html directly to show up with color and stuff into a form. Look at SQL Enterprise Manager's use of web pages via res:// protocol. Look at the search page of Windows Explorer. In XP, the search page even includes an animated character, which was a free download for developers to use for years.
In my book, this is a way to make money from a product, wheter you sell it or not.
The.NET Framework exposes classes that let you compile code in a specified language. These classes live in the System.CodeDom.Compiler namespace. This code snippet shows how to obtain an in-memory running instance of the C# compiler:(...sample code follows)
This seems to allow one to write a compiler/installer solution on the fly.

Doh. Here in Turkey, we are a couple of seasons behind the US.
You ROT13 three chars and end up with 4 chars? God. We have 1/4 of the usenet generated by faulty encryption, what a mess.
All I can say is, I would pay to feel the same excitement while I was reading the triology.
Yes.

So as long as I can't reach my data from another desktop all the nice PIM functionality is rubbish, ha?
Much better contacts management than OE.
Integrated calendar and tasks.
Can do macro thing.
Customizable fields.
Programmable through COM.
I don't see your point. Maybe just because it's from the evil empire...

You don't need source code to alter that kinda things in any Quake game. Just make your own PAK file (for Q2, its a .pk2 AFAIK)
