Having programmed in GTK+, Qt, Java, and C#: I find C# to be the most painful for database interactivity. Its data bound controls (to me) are infuriatingly convoluted, complex, inefficient, and inflexible.

I find it far, far easier to use a tool that generates database models, create readers and writers based on those models to abstract them away from the application, and then use those readers/writers in the mainline application. The payoff is immense.

The closest fit for you is Java (since C# started life as Microsoft's attempt to make a Windows-specific version of Java). The two best IDE choices then become Netbeans and IntelliJ (do yourself a favor, and skip Eclipse).

If Bill Gates cured cancer and gave the cure away for free:

1) The first cure would be free.

2) The cure would be designed to reactivate the cancer, this time being more virulent than the original, but this time it would be immune to the free cure.

3) The second cure would require activation and frequent repurchases, or the cure would be rendered inert (killing you). You would be required to repurchase the cure for the rest of your life.

4) You would be required to purchase cures for diseases you don't have, but taxing your indocrine system to the point that random body parts start failing.

5) Bill Gates would issue patches for the flawed cure, but the patches would inexplicable cause new diseases for which you would be required to purchase 3rd party medicines. These medicines would themselves drain 60% of your body's useable energy, and unpredictable times, while unsuccessfully attempting to address the fundamental design flaws of the cure.

6) Bill Gates would promise that the next version of the cure will solve your problems, but that it is not covered by any licensing agreement you may currently have. The promise is false, but you don't seem to remember any of the other false promises he made, so you purchase the next version of the cure. This somehow makes things worse, but Bill Gates blames you for using 3rd party medicines.

I could go on, but I have work to do.

It's not necessarily drivel. A "permanent" ban means that it will not have to be renewed periodically. It's permanent unless overridden.

So this company commits fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, illegal conversion, grand theft, and extortion (and probably a litany of other crimes I can't think of off the top of my head), and all they're going to get is a finger wagging???!!

I agree. I wanted a somewhat sophisticated shopping app, so I browsed the Google store for one. There were a TON of shopping apps, but they were all very simplistic (but with good looking GUI's). These simplistic shopping apps (no more than two or three functions) were woefully inadequate for my needs. However, they had thousands (or hundreds of thousands) installs.

So I wrote one over the course of about two years. It allowed me to track my shopping at every store I patronized, automatically compare prices for items I bought at any of those stores, report on where my money went over any arbitrary period of time, etc. I was even ready to create an subsection to integrate the data into my financial database. It was so useful for my wife and me that I decided to sell it on Google Play.

Last I checked, it sold about four copies in about as many years. Granted, I was expecting low sales because my Android UI design skills were crude at best. But I was expecting to at least make some money from its sheer usefulness.

I concluded that very few people want to use their Android devices for anything but entertainment (even in their shopping apps). They will flock to the vapid but pretty apps, and ignore useful apps that don't have a flashy GUI. I started redesigning the UI to be more vapid-compliant, but then my first son was born. Maybe after my two boys are old enough to keep each other occupied, I'll get back to the redesign.

ssh issues that message for other reasons, too, such as when you install a new network adapter. In that case, there is nothing wrong.
