Bwahaha! Wow, it almost looks like you think you're being serious!
XCode is truly awful. I'm finding AppCode to be a much better alternative, and have heard there are a couple of other IDEs as well (but have not yet tried them and can't recall the names).
It's actually called System Center Configuration Manager. But WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) can also update third party software if you configure it correctly (may require third party addons though).
I hate to point out that one of the largest failing civilisations right now is the one with the most ridiculously overbearing property rights laws. Yours. Most of us civilisations who refuse to accept the premise that any replaceable material object can be worth more than a human life are doing quite well thank you. Any argument that tries to claim that property can be worth more than life under any circumstances is inherently logically and morally flawed.
PrimeSense only built half the technology - it was also built on technology by Rare, a wholly owned MS subsidiary. And PrimeSense is very likely enjoined by their contract with MS from licensing it to the competition.
Steam is fucking crap. I'm so sick of being unable to play half my games every time my internet connection craps out (because the lines provider cut my line - again - while screwing with someone else's).
Odd. Three out of four of our electricity generators are government owned, and they run at efficiency levels which independent auditors have confirmed are significantly more efficient than average private sector equivalents, and they return 18% dividends to the government. Which would completely disprove your theory - not surprising, the US government and their cronies go to considerable efforts to convince the people that state owned enterprises are somehow evil and cannot run efficiently. Unfortunately that group of cronies includes our government, which is planning to sell off these over-performing assets to fit their retarded right wing ideology.
What OS? Windows Phone. Microsoft doesn't make the damn devices, so they have nothing to do with that, and you claiming otherwise is disingenuous. And just how much R&D could they possibly have spent on WP7 exactly? It's essentially just a giant.NET runtime - practically just a port of XNA, the.NET runtime that's been on Xbox 360s for years now. The only thing I can see that's different is the Metro UI, which is now present in Xbox 360, Windows 8, and all sorts of other stuff.
Basically, WP7 can't possibly have costed jack all to make. But don't let reality get in the way of your Microsoft hating.
Right, so you know exactly how much money was spent developing that OS (not those devices)? And you can even manage to work out the cost accounting for the amount of WP7 that is now part of Xbox 360, Windows 8, and other Microsoft products?
Oh dear god no, do NOT use Entity Framework. That monstrosity generates SQL that no server ever created could optimise, and deliberately avoids using indexes and catalogs. Generally, selecting 5 columns from a table requires three joins, a table scan, and two unnecessary sorts. If you're going to query a DB and want to use an L2S provider, either use Linq2SQL directly, NHibernate, or LightSpeed.
Well, when a company is incorporated in a country, it's pretty simple. "Doctoring" your books so that you buy all your services at retail price from another subsidiary of yourself is a tad slimy.
Slashdot Mirror
COBOL actually has a surprisingly large number of developers, all paid better than all of us!
It's still quite common in Government, Banking, and Healthcare.
Dear god, how the fuck did I write that console application with no UI?!?

It's the < that Slashdot ate (plus a pile of stuff after). And actually it was the browser that did it, Slashdot just outputs your HTML verbatim.
Also, I haven't seen Michael Kristopeit in a while. You know, cover in my shadow some more feeb and all that. Completely pathetic, blah blah.
They'd roll Slashdot into Fox Interactive, then promptly migrate it to XenForo. *shudder*
Sure, because only Microsoft dislikes Google. Couldn't be Apple, or Yahoo, or the government, or just a private individual.

Also, OpenJDK is on some seriously shaky legal ground unless Google can overturn the Android copyright infringement ruling.

Jokes on them. Slashdot went through its user haemorrhage years ago. Not sure where the users went though.

They won't, because metamoderation doesn't work like that any more.
I disagree. Why should Apache have to?
This is my only problem with GPL - its adherents think it's the One True License and that everyone else should comply.
I'm not the one changing the subject numbnuts, that's you.
Don't forget "If you don't want us to track you, just change your WiFi SSID to append '_nomap'"

Agreed, but they exist.
Interesting, not seen one of these benchmarks so I'll have to have a look.
Unfortunately, just try that on shared hosting, where you're limited to x queries per hour.

You can't? Oh what a surprise.

No, because Google makes all Australian and New Zealand sales from Google Ireland in Dublin. So it's GST exempt.
