To me, retirement means not having to do anything I don't want to do. I'll work until I die, I'm sure, but I'll be doing stuff that I want to do, not stuff that I'm doing because I need the money.
I think that something like this has the possibility of being really popular. People are really, really stupid, and have little sense of self respect any more.
It means that it's a place that I usually fly over to get to one of the two more civilized places in the US. There's really nothing in the middle of the US except for Chicago and a few sized-cities. There's little culture, economy, or population to speak of.
No.Net applications, but the cost is negligible. The time it would take to learn and migrate to a new system would quickly eat up any cost savings.

Can I ask why you left off the third reason that the article you link to very clearly explains: sea level rise?
"All of this results from three processes that reinforce and amplify each other’s effects: levee construction, oil and gas exploration and sea level rise."
I've given all of my personal and financial information to Facebook, already. All of my thoughts will be a nice addition. But when can I give them my bodily fluids, too? I want them to be able to analyze my DNA, and tell me what I'm likely to die from, and I want them to analyze my blood to tell me what I ate last night. I'm concerned that Facebook and Google simply don't know enough about me yet.
I'm amazed at not only the amount of data that people give these companies, but the sheer number of companies they're willing to give their data to. It's astonishing.

Work from 20 to 50, save 30%, and expect to live from 50 to 90 off those savings? I can do the math on my fingers to see that's not going to work.
You can't calculate compound interest on your fingers, is the problem.
Even if someone saved 100% for 30 years, inflation will ensure they can't live off that for 40 years afterwards.
I don't think that most people save by holding onto cash, as you're suggesting.

Silly troll.

If it's like everything else that Google has done other than search and advertising, they'll suddenly discontinue it soon.
If I want to use a smartphone, but can't stand Apple or Google, what do I do?
You can use a Windows Phone. They work fine, unless you need 1000 different "apps".
if you're already locked in to MS and have already paid for the licenses you may as well stay locked in.
What this "lock in" you're talking about? SQL Server can use ANSI standard SQL, and can export schema and data in simple flat text files.
If you've got 10 people interacting with the database at a time, then yes, $3K is negligible.

I can't quite figure out why anybody would want to use Microsoft SQL Server.
Easy to use. Works well. Tons of features. Free to a point. After that, inexpensive.
You're welcome to your somewhat paranoid opinion, but we're discussing this report, which most definitely says that seal level rise is a factor.
I remember when it was about business.
It hasn't changed. It was always about their business, and it still is. The business is: you give them information, and then they sell it.
What's a "thought-leader"?
Says who? The author or the report didn't say that.

... the headphones listen to you!
... the apps own you!
Agreed. I was going to say something about that, so I'm glad you said it first.
Explorer already has a split view. Has since 1995.
Nothing in the article said he was a sysadmin. It says he was an Oracle programmer.
Only Nintendo would discontinue a product due to high demand. Who runs that company, a couple of idiot plumbers?

Neat anecdote, but that's not what the article is about.
