Science as a process is like Natural selection and just as in Natural selection, one may come with the dead end. This is not necessarily bad.
To quote Thomas A. Edison, "If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward".
However choice of programming language has a lot to do with what you want to do.
If you want to create jobs to processing millions of records locally, C/C++ would be better.
If you want to have secure web based jobs, Java would be better.
If you want to create Windows GUI applications, C# would be better.
This presupposes that computers play chess differently to humans.
They do. Computers can figure out great defensive tactics by figuring all possible combinations and go into board positions which humans would intrinsically think as too risky.
Most of the consumers are preferring to buy Tablets over PC so I guess the numbers of new Windows 8 PC are bound to be down as well.
The fact that Windows 8 is horrible is probably just icing on the cake.

Maybe he was holding it wrong Apple already foresaw this and avoided it altogether in their phones.
Too bad other companies cant use this solution since Apple obviously hold the patent.
if you specify the actual cost during the planning phase, then they wouldn't be started in the first place. So people make best case estimates and then reality strikes, the actual cost exceed the allocated budget.

Lets not start going on that slippery slope.
investing in the stock market has become more like high stakes gambling.

This quote from Lord of War.

(even a big hole) give to the Germans or the Chinese.
Wouldn't you want to be the best you can be (with your own genes) a la Gattaca?
Quality Control issues will have to looked at carefully though.
Correct. That is called Religion.
