"Lambda functions" means syntactic sugar for a certain variety of first-class function. This is a bit like saying every language has operator overloading because one can write a function called Plus.
You're worried about hassle for the "average user" who runs Sudoku apps. These users are on Windows. For tthose who are on Mac, Macs have a good enough package installation system that it's not too big of a deal for packages to have prerequisites.
BBut anyway,why are you citing external factors to somehow prove that C# iis an inferior language? Its "goodness" is in no way diminished by the fact that few platforms have implementations written for them.

Where Is Firefox OS?

Why is using Firefox (really XUL/Gecko) as an application development platform for creating an SSH client any less secure than using any other combination of libraries and UI frameworks for doing so?
Luckily, you don't have to trust a horde of Slashdotters on AGW: just pick 10 climate scientists at random and ask for their opinion. (Note the "at random" part -- you're not allowed to cherry-pick for this exercise.)
Like I said, Anonymous isn't an organization. They're a subculture. Saying "Anonymous hacked this" has about as much value as saying "punks hacked this". "The punks" aren't a cohesive group and neither are Anonymous.
Criteria III - Cultural Criteria III: Bear a unique or at least exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a civilization which is living or which has disappeared;
Criteria IV - Cultural Criteria IV: Be an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural or technical ensemble or landscape which illustrates (a) significant stage(s) in human history;

Maybe we should make the Internet as a whole a World Heritage site? One of the primary benefits of the Internet is that it allows almost anyone in the world to create and publish content, for free. Wikipedia and Facebook are but two different sides of this same coin.
I see something that has radically changed human communication and content distribution for the better to be a hugely important part of world heritage. Maybe you're right that Wikipedia on its own shouldn't qualify, but I was a bit taken aback by the derisive tone of most of the comments.
Second, his remark is completely unfounded. It's not the contributions of the idiot savant contributers that matters; it's the project as a whole. Or were the pyramids just "the fixation of a manual-laboring slave" ? Sometimes a whole can be more than the sum of its parts.
Personally I think an introduction to almost every field of human knowledge that almost anyone can understand is more important than a big, pointy tomb.
I'll respond in English because you did in the majority of your post is in that language, leading me to believe that you are more comfortable in it than in French.
I'm sorry for missing the sarcasm in your post; your typically French half-joking anti-Americanism and your French signature made me think that you identified ethnically as a member of some Francophone culture. Since you identify as American, the situation is completely different -- I believe in Jesus's teaching to "take the plank out of your own eye before taking the speck from your brother's" (even though I am not a Christian), which means I find Americans criticizing American culture to be much more acceptable than French people doing so.
I am 100% American, born to and raised by 100% American parents, and I vote for leftists, don't think potato chips are a staple of good eating, care about the environment, and value intellect and learning: all contrary to common French stereotypes about my people. That's why even though I'm the biggest Francophile I know, the derisive attitude of many (but not all) French people, which stems from ignorance about the good parts of American culture, irks me greatly.
So I apologize for flying off the handle at you, but I hope that after reading this post you'll understand why I did so.

Seriously? A few weak arguments? I see 2pi way, way more often than pi.

i've never heard of such a thing. Then again I'm not (primarily) a c++ guy. Care to provide an example of lambdas before C++ 2011?

Re: your second paragraph: that's not how it works.
Only if people with a higher tax burden are less likely to successfully reproduce, which I find implausible.
your Representatives are very interested in hearing from you
Is there anyone out there who still believes this?
C# is a "scripting language"?
Maybe when you graduate from high school, you'll learn that how cool you are is unrelated to the height of the language you program in.
So why can't they just say the hackers used Complicated Computery Magic? Why make up a story about how woefully insecure their setup is?
The link in your sig is broken, my friend.

As an anecdote, I once had a man sitting at a computer next to me in a university library ask me to input a captcha for him.
Apparently he could see well enough to use a computer, but not well enough to decipher the captcha.
Out of curiosity, which European country are you from?

I can't wait until this is wrongly attributed to "Anonymous" (which is more of a subculture than a group, anyway)
I can see it applying to any of the following:

First of all, it's Adrian Chen, not Adam Chen.

Va plus sur ce site si tu toleres pas les Américains. Franchement j'en ai marre de ces francophone qui croient que c'est eux le seul peuple civilisé du monde, ou que les Etats-Unis sont un pays de sauvages. Oui il y a des sauvages ici, mais pas plus qu'en France (ou en Belgique, Québec, etc... je sais pas exactement d'oà tu viens)
Ah, right. Add me, @jez9999 !
