Where have you been for the last 20 years, you could always connect different development platforms to different RDBMS. I mean you can connect MySQL to.NET just as easily with ADO.NET there are atleast two different dedicated providers and you can always use OLEDB standard connection as well.
I've thought about this and in some situations I wonder how much bandwidth your really saving, I know you'll same some load without sending all the html back down everytime, but now everytime somebody changes on element on a form that is linked up they will get more data, so if they fill the whole form they are going to make numerous requests and we all now that XML is very verbous for sending data with all the meta data, so in theory it is less transfer but depending on user use patterns it might take more bandwidth. However it does make for a better user expierence in either case.
I think they are different actually, which will make for an even more confusing environment for those of us who will have to come to an organization and look through various.net applications in few years for updates.
Well its not like the XmlHttpRequest object is the same in all non-IE browsers. Plus I'm sure that they will support other browsers, they have included much better support for Firefox in ASP 2.0 betas.
I'd hate to break it to you but.Net is at the forefront of dynamic web development. I know people around here think its ruby-on-rails but its not..Net is ions beyond PHP let alone FrontPage, your just a flamer..Net 2005 is going to create by default XHTML, in some cases it produces verbose code, but it is a very good platform that is scalable. Take a look at Monster or somewhere else and see how many jobs use.Net, or do all these companies not know what to use.
Revenge of the Sith was vastly better than Return of the Jedi, I like all six movies though. I think its the cool thing for nerds to say the new ones suck, how pathetic.
Are you high or something because you are making shit up through your whole story.
China is not a free market, they have more price controls then anyone. They also regulate all there products to make sure they do not conflict with thier views and ideals. In a free market I could sell them books like The Wealth of Nations unedited, yet you can not do this in China(Note the book is about economics and free trade).
No India is not a free market either, it does not allow foreigners to labor in thier country.
America has much greater productivity rates per worker, this is because the American work ethic is far suppier to any other countries workers, because in America with hard word you can become rich. In China you are forced to work where the government tells you to, this creates very poor work that is only useful for assembly line work. China is a repressive society that tells you from birth to death what you are supposed to do, you can not have a truely free market if laborers are not even allowed to choose thier jobs. Thier system is so inferior to the US that even if China doubles its population it won't be able to keep up with our productivety.
The fact of the matter is the average American is far ahead of the average Indian worker education wise. Now a certain percentage of Indians have advanced degrees so jobs can be sent to them. But it is only a matter of time until they run out of people with this level of education, their infastructure will not allow them to educate thier people at a fast enough rate to keep a large supply of engineers.
In 15 years the top economic powers in the world will be the same as now USA, Japan, Germany, Britain, Italy, and France. China may break into the group but not India it is way too far behind to catch up in 15 years.
Just because your supervisor told you to do something does not make you free from guilt in a court of law, especially since someone can probably come up with atleast one email showing that he installed the software and knew it was an illegal copy. It would be that same as a manufacturing company thats needs steel instruting some of there employees to go steal the steel from the docks. When they get caught do you think saying my boss told me to is going to get them off the hook. All involved can be found guilty here, he must act quickly to CYA.
Now if/. would just learn the difference between civil law and criminal law we'd be good to go. I guess apples to oranges comparisons are more interesting though.
Copy Right infringement is criminal law that is why you can go to jail for it. Just because the RIAA are making many civil cases doesn't mean that stealing is not a crime.
Most likely the copy right holder would just sue the company because they are the ones getting value from the software. They may press charges though on all involved in the scam, the installer who knows the about the problem and still does it is definately going to be a target.
Your points are well and good except for that fact there is no way your driving from Conrad Weiser highschool to Kutztown highschool in 20 minutes, there on opposite sides of Reading.
In this case it doesn't. Accept for the fact that the money earned by illegals in this case goes back over the border and if they had there $20 back they would probably spend it somewhere else and it would stay in the American economy.
You fail to understand that work would not be performed by another worker, it would be performed by the property owner. In Southern California plenty of homeowners just pay illegals to mow thier lawn, they would do it themselves if they had no cheap alternative.
Unions are still needed to protect blue collar jobs. The problem with IT is that it is a white collar job and unions don't traditionally have role with that type of job. A national health care system would help the country more since that would aleviate the cost of health care on all these companies effectively reducing the cost of labor.
Economic theory would state that new markets would open up for the unemployed labor. Unforntunately the lower education levels make this more unlikely.
I don't like overshoring, but to say it happens randomly is rediculous. India gets Engineering, IT, and Customer Service jobs because it has a good education system for the better citizens in the country. But that alone is not enough, because the English ruled there for so long it has a huge supply of English speakers, you won't see outsouring to non-english speakers very often.

Then why do this this and this say they founded HP in 1939.
Whats wrong with these people! Can't a man walk down the street without being offered a job?
Windows as the most software written for it of any OS, so yeah a lot of it sucks, but it also as inovative software.
Besides the most talked about software nowadays isn't software dependant its web apps like Google Maps.
Name a commercial RDMS still in production that does not have a .NET interface.
and even has a .NET interface

Well using CSS is considerably different and the saved bandwidth is obvious.
ASP.NET runs on the server, it doesn't matter what browser or os is on the client as long as it supports XML requests.

Ah but diesel will not work in all cars, yet there are diesel cars, so you would not score high in analogies on the SAT

You want to secure your servers for less than $100, can't you get a better budget to protect your production servers?

A large percent of the unskilled labor isn't being used to produce anything, it is being used for things like lawn care.
