I think I've seen SQL written by you before. I realize your post is a joke, but I see people aliasing bad table names down to even less readable single letters. It's a maintenance nightmare. Treat SQL like a language and write it so it's readable and maintainable. It even frequently helps when you're trying to resolve performance problems... they're much easier to spot in well written SQL.
I'm running Citrix Clients under Linux with no problems. There was a little extra setup involved because of certificates, and 64 bit, but nothing too drastic.
If I were conspiracy minded, which I'm not, but that's what _they_ want you to think, I would consider that the FCC seems to be a little too close to the cell phone companies, whose territory Google are encroaching on.
I've always thought that one should pay for support on a per-incident basis for software that one considers reliable. Count your incidents per year for the last few years and do the math.
There is a sweet spot for white space. I find too much detracts (too many blank lines, etc). Most of this can now be controlled at view time through and IDE and isn't even worth arguing about any more.
Maybe it's my memory, but I don't see the people behind those browsers say "I don't think this is serious enough for an out of band update". Out of band? Fix teh damn bugs as soon as you can and let people install the patches later if that's what makes them happy.
Artificially limiting speed, or delaying orders until fixed points for example. When people start gaming the system, yes, measures should be put in place.
I've recently been trying to ensure that I have actual email addresses for people, as lately it seems that I end up doing most of my communication with people over FaceBook. This is not currently a bad thing, but could end up like the situation where you have an email address with your ISP and you can't dump them because this is how everyone contacts you... and you end up being tied to a service you don't want. Years ago I extricated myself from that trap by getting my own domain. FaceBook is the next iteration of that problem... many of us are tying too much functionality into something where it is difficult to choose an alternative.
If Google wanted to get the issue more attention, it could have blocked the entire service for the entire country. One of two things would happen... people would protest their government and ask that the service be reinstated through a change in laws or an exemption... or a Google competitor would provide the services with the blurring feature. I'm guessing the changes of the second happening were too high. The blurring is a relatively easy thing for them to implement, but sometimes it's nice to force an issue more into the public eye to make people think about it a bit more.
I watched the MS video demo of this being used to control the xbox dashboard and wasn't impressed. What turned me off was that they don't seem top have a 'click' or selection move, instead using hover delays to select things. Maybe they just didn't have time to implement it properly, but it really needs the ability to click something, whether by pushing your hand forward or something else. More than anything else, this is stopping me from picking one up right now.
I find the the bigger advantage of having all of the unit tests is getting people to think about testability when designing. Components designed with testability in mind seem to be more robust and well thought out as it tends to force a lot of the 'spaghetti' out of a component.
... and don't forget to tell all of your friends and family why they shouldn't play there either. I don't want to have all mobile computing go the way of the walled garden due to people's lack of knowledge.
With this, bot Bell and Rogers (the cable internet provider) have now both put steps in place to discourage people using Netflix, etc. NetFlix of course announced around September that they would be providing service in Canada. It's much reduced service from what's available in the US, but the available content will increase as time goes on. Rogers cut their bandwidth limits in half, and now Bell has gotten usage based billing, specifically to discourage people using TekSavvy et al, which used to have un-shaped, unlimited downloads.
You can run through the current bandwidth limits pretty quickly watching HD content.

... is awesome.
I have doubts about debugging an extremely large application done in a purely functional language. Of course, it may just be inexperience.
An Apple is a fruit. There are only so many words, and Go seems as good as any and better than some.

His job will not likely be outsourced to India for quite some time.

An excellent analogy, even without the car.

Does F# compile to a stand-alone executable on any platform, or does it need to be deployed on a .net framework?

Why would it? In most cases they almost seem to be of the attitude that "You bought it, now it's your problem".
You're disturbing the distortion field. Stop it.
... but how easy is it to recover when it gets bork, bork, borked?
I find it takes me longer to write smaller software.
What's going on with OpenBIOS? It showed a lot of promise ...

Much better than it actually deserves to be, really.
