Are you kidding? There's sixty years worth of legacy applications programs out there in COBOL.
Yeah, it sucks from a Computer Science perspective, but business programming ain't Computer Science.

mmmm, steak and garlic. Oh, wait...

So they've been doing the stuff with the greatest return on investment.
What's left is the marginal improvements that probably cost more than they're worth.

Moving the whole datacenter to the Pacific Northwest just isn't in the cards for most companies.

They would need to be a lot less obviously what they are.

*The Fifth Head of Cerberus* was the first of his books that I read, and reread, and puzzled over.

Because it's such a great idea to mandate all kinds of pointless activity.

In case you didn't notice, the quote from Thruen implied the 100% effectiveness of a gun ban.

Therefore your (not you're) ignorance is showing. Twice.

Nice pile of strawmen you got there. Nobody but you is saying that laws are no good unless they're 100% effective. And nobody but you is saying that the analogy between drugs and guns is no good unless it's 100% perfect.

As for background checks and other loopholes, it's just a step towards confiscation. "Oh, your paperwork isn't 100% perfect so you're guilty of a federal felony. We're here to take away your illegal guns now." Your congresscritters gave that game away when they voted against the amendment that would have made it illegal to use background checks to establish a national gun registry.

Yes, we do have the right to own guns and to carry them, it is in the constitution, right along with the freedom of speech that you probably value. But hey, it's just a piece of paper so let's get rid of the whole inconvenient thing. See, I can do strawmen too.

Because irresponsible morons never bought dangerous presents for kids who weren't ready for them before so we need to prohibit all responsible people from buying dangerous things ever.

Drugs are banned so there are no drugs on the street, right?

Stick to the particulars of the software. What are the technical requirements (hardware, network, etcetera)? What level of support staff (DBA's, data entry, etc). What, if any, changes to work flow? Keep that to a minimum if possible. And how does all that affect the bottom line?

Not enough to pay the electric bill.

As if Putin has any room to complain. Gazprom? Look...a squirrel!

The next product in the Google line, for people who wanted a larger battery in their Google Glasses.

Because I can totally see belief in certain gods being correlated with catastrophically negative outcomes.
