Because the changes in this case are not natural at all?
Saying "climate always changes" is like saying "water always flows", and then promptly putting a firehose in your living room and then turning it on. I realize you think this is a great rhetorical trick, but that's all it is.
Dominance where exactly? A helluva lot of Windows development is still done in C/C++. Java still has massive penetration in the enterprise. I'll admit that.NET is a big player in the Windows world, but considering the Windows market appears to be at best static, and as a platform, compared to other computing devices (enterprise computing, mobile computing, etc.) is in absolute terms possibly even declining, I'd say.NET could hardly be described as dominant.
I bought lots of stuff off of RadioShack back in ye olden days. Two computers (an MC-10 and a CoCo3), several game ROMs, two printers, a one-sided floppy drive, OS/9 level 2, and dozens of doo-dads for various projects.
So yeah, if RadioShack wants to sell the fact that I bought a TP-10 thermal printer back in 1983, then go to town!
In the long run, the best method is to admit that large portions of California are simply not arable, not without basically robbing every drop of water to be found for about half a million square miles.
Why shouldn't it be a show stopper. If XML is important, why shouldn't someone use a product that already delivers the goods, as opposed to one where the defense is "Well, just write something, or go look on Sourceforge and see if you get lucky!"
There's this little matter of having to run Windows. Not very bloody useful, particularly on production servers, unless you want to a. buy a Windows Server license ($$$) and SQL Server licenses ($$$).
Whereas I can install a Linux or BSD server, throw PostgreSQL or MySQL on it and the cost is the hardware and my time. If I need to add more infrastructure, again it's my cost and my time.
Frankly I think the procedure should simply be banned outright, with very long prison sentences for anyone performing a circumcision without a good solid medical reason. It's barbaric, no different than female circumcision which seems to be the cause célèbre of modern women's rights activists. And yes, I know circumcision can confer some health benefits (my understanding is it slightly reduces HIV transmission, as well as protecting against some kinds of infections), so does a woman having double mastectomies to prevent breast cancer, and yet I don't see a general move to lop off all women's breasts.
If you've suffered a rehabilitating stroke or suffered some other catastrophic illness or injury that renders you incapable of doing the deed, it strikes me as completely unfair to deprive you of the ability to end your life. That's not even counting people who are suffering terminal illnesses.
Creating regulations is the way you eliminate, or at least make far less dangerous the slippery slope.
Where did I say that? And who exactly is proposing totalitarianism? We're talking about limiting CO2 emissions here, not tattooing a fucking number on your arm.
Christ, we don't let people dump PCPs in rivers, do you think that's dictatorial?

A guy whose evidence is "I've seen stats", without linking to them shouldn't be lecturing about hard evidence.
On PC platforms perhaps. Not on server platforms.

As long as that's all you're using it for!

Where do you think he pulled it out of?
Or why not use PostgreSQL?

Translation: It has limits that renders it useless on production servers.

Keep in mind that there is virtually no evidence for panspermia.
Why would any rational person try bullshit non-therapies?
It's fucking bullshit. Jesus Christ, I can't believe the lengths people will go to justify witch doctor quackery.

Maybe they're ultimately afraid they might be tempted to take that route when life becomes too unbearable.
You have a tough time being coherent, don't you?
Did you even read the fucking article?
Perhaps it is because there is no source of this chart. Who made it? Where does it come from?
Weather != Climate

Blah blah blah Koch-bot.
