Far more likely they got in a pissing match over who got to lead so the powers that be gave it to a third agency (the Canadians) who will run the show but get the other two to do the leg work. They're each going to want to have the best people (themselves) running an investigation into the loss of one of their own people.
The problem is that a lot of those hacked together solutions get adopted and put into production. PHP / MySQL are a little too accessible. They're the VB / Access of the Internet. Everyone can have a go and then some of us get to clean things up.
Yes, and the Unabomber's manifesto was written in English, the same language used by Shakespeare. Now the bard is also a terrorist. I'm surprised they didn't call Flame a Brazilian plot. They're behind this whole LUA thing.
Similar where I work. The dev guys get the full VS and only use it for ASP.NET while the ops guys use whatever Express version to build small desktop apps. It beats the hell out of VBA although I still get to use that more than I'd like.
MS being clear as mud with a lot of their announcements haven't helped. There's definitely a shift in focus for dev tools. The camp in power now wants to shift to new / old tools. Look at what's happened to Silverlight.
Properly run Windows security is no worse than properly run security on any platform. Users and buggy applications are the biggest problems on any platform so it's not that big of a difference. Licensing on the other hand...
The LAMP stack has improved if it can build Windows desktop apps. They haven't talked about VWD, just the desktop targeted tools like the express versions of C# and VB. Funny thing is that they're targeting Metro and that's moving to HTML/JS.
This isn't a dumb decision at all. It's the consequence of a dumb decision. VS Express was put out to get people to switch to.NET development. Now that they're trying to shift from.NET to WinRT or whatever it's called this week, the tools aren't needed any more but the WinRT versions are. Look further down the stack and this change makes sense in a Microsoft way.
Middle of the night? That's the USA, not Australia. The Indian call center is only a few hours behind our west coast. While we're at it, what import duties?
Wrong. They announced a version that's hard to find and only good for twelve months. They might call it an enterprise version, but I'd say they're smoking dilithium crystals.
First off I think carriers should do this; but that being as it may I will say that this doesn't really work in either the UK or Australia - phone theft has not disappeared or become less common as a result.
Yes, it has and I've got just as much evidence as you.

I thought it was von Neumann that got blamed for this rather than Turing. Then again, there's probably enough blame to go around.
Dear god no. They'd identify pilot error and ban all pilots.

There was an AD&D 1st and 2nd Edition. There were also multiple editions of D&D before 3rd.

Just download the MS SDK. It's been free for years and includes the compiler et al. It's only the pretty IDEs that are a problem.

Add the fact that the US Government already tried to make TOS violations good for a year in prison and things get very interesting.

And still wait a month for the fix to propagate.
Yes, Google should have but they've got a bad habit or pushing out 'beta' products.

Then you can brag about your standing in the Troll League. I'd almost want video of that league in action.
Lionel Murphy was not a SCOTUS justice.
Try Western Australia. The only one that passed (IIRC) was a secession attempt.
"Attempting to pervert the course of justice" is the technical term.

No, the phone won't brick. It just won't be allowed to connect to *any* mobile network. Your shiny stolen iPhone is now a glorified iPod Touch.
