Hell yes. Not just a robocaller, but a karaoke robocaller. What's the new gig? Nigerian spammer?
You might think so, but by the measures used in Australia, they get away with commercials that seem way too loud to the listener, and then they're all "Oh, it only *sounds* louder, but it's perfectly OK". And the stations get away with it. Because they set the rules.
I just hope your law doesn't permit that.

This. If a language is seriously flawed, don't use it. Why? Because every project you get out there increases the burden of unmaintainable crud that future generations will be forced to bear.
If you persist in using a bad tool, even in the knowledge of its many flaws, you're committing an act of unmiitigated evil.
There are strategies you can use to work around this mindset. Set aside a room exclusively for use as an office, and "go to work" each morning at the same time. And don't touch yourself during work hours. I mean it, don't... ah, why do I even bother?
Silverlight sucks too. Believe me, I've been developing in it for over a year.
Sounds like they shipped the remote ahead of the TV. It's especially useful if you watch Fox.
In fact, he probably should have. The accessibility features of Android are almost non-existent, and Android devices are pretty much unusable for the visually impaired. iOS has it all over them there. And I say this as an Android fanboi.

Or, you know, a photograph of the whiteboard.
Sure Flash sucks. So does HTML. So does Silverlight. So do Java applets. I've done them all, and they're all crap. Could we please do something new?
Working in Silverlight right now, and I completely agree. I never thought I'd find a more screwed-up mess of markup and code than the usual web technologies (HTML,/CSS/JavaScript), but with Silverlight, M$ managed to create one.
I hate updating data using SQL. The need to have both INSERT and UPDATE statements, with their very different syntaxes, is a considerable drag on my time. I've worked with non-SQL DBMSs in the past, and it can be so very much easier.
Don't get me wrong, there's a lot I like about SQL, but my ideal database would support SQL for queries, but also provide simpler mechanisms for read by key and create/update/delete operations.
I'm pretty sure that the Medicis were total bastards. And why is an Italian family even on this list?
I went looking for it too, and... Oooh look! There's some lovely muck over 'ere!
