Your post got me thinking that.NET (from a developers POV) abstracts the whole OS away. The more.NET apps there are, the more Microsoft can meddle with the underlying OS without breaking any apps.
Kinda fits into the grand scheme being presented here.
I had a problem were my hands and lower wrists would get painful after typing a while. On the suggestion of a friend, I switched to the Dvorak keyboard layout. After two (difficult) months, I regained my old typing speed, and now I type faster than I ever did on a qwerty board. And my hands don't really bother me anymore. Any time I type qwerty now (which is real slow for me), it feels like my fingers are getting stretched or something.
How many people do you know own firearms, minus hunting rifles*? I don't know many at all. Now imagine those stats if EVERYONE had guns. I can't - but they would be much higher.
You are more likely to die as a result of contracting a non-specific infection during a hospital stay than you are to be murdered, by any means.
Quite frankly, making these types statements is pointless. It doesn't account that a person can make choices throughout their lives to avoid being in a hospital in the first place. Granted, if you are a drug dealer, gangbanger, or taxi driver, someone is going to find a way to kill you - guns or no guns. But you had a choice to do those things.
Even legally obtained guns aren't safe from misuse.
C'mon guys, I dug these two articles out of a single medium sized city's website in under two minutes.
When everyone has guns, every confrontation is automatically escalated to limit. It only take a fleeting thought to end someone's life with a gun.
I simply can not comprehend any possible need for people to own tools who's sole function is to cause death*. I'm in the minority here by admitting that I vote Republican - although I happen to be very anti-gun. If the government wanted to get rid of guns, they could. Just make the punishment severe enough - even for trivial posession. It would take time. Maybe start by busting the current non-permit weapon holder with the tough law, and giving law-abiding permit holders a grace period (a few years) to get their weapons turned-in, as to help allieviate the concern that "only criminals will have guns".
And frankly, I'm completely surprised by the amount of pro-gun posts I'm seeing, and the amount of venom injected into defending guns.
the anti-gun "let's tell everyone else how to live their lives" freaks all riled up
Gun owners are vocal people, I guess.
* I don't know what to do about all you deer hunters.
I saw one of these this morning on the way to work. Except there was a woman driving it. While talking on a cell phone. And it said Ford Expedition on the back.
Actually, come to think of it, it seemed more dangerous than an asteroid.
That's the big bugaboo question with corporations: Who do we blame if something goes wrong?
That's the same reason companies like to hire MCSE/Ds, or use consultants for projects: it at least partially absolves the manager of responsibility if something goes bad. Project screwed up? Blame the quality of the consulting company. New programmer stinks? Blame the MCSD program.

Anti-Microsoft rhetoric... now with 30% more FUD!
Yeah, but that's soooooooo much more work!
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
sounds like a disgruntled VB6 developer. .NET, love or hate Microsoft, is pretty snazzy.

I like Dvorak. YMMV.

Unlike this guy, who was just driving to work.

Thank God I work for a financial services company where we don't get any (tangible) oversight at all.
I can't see humidity being an issue - most server rooms I've been in have had higher humidity to lessen static electricity.
Waaaaaaaaaay off-topic, but how did you get the web.config source?
Gawsh, it must be awful living in a mind where milli-seconds are considered to imprecise.

This is why the US government needs to get Bruce Willis under contract.
