Bingo. If Go becomes the dominant language, I'll be all the happier that I've jumped ship to C#/.NET. Ugliest damned labguage I've seen in a long time.

Is it legal to fly remote-controlled aircraft over built-up areas in the US? I'm pretty sure it's not in Australia.
OTOH, there isn't much that is legal in Australia these days. Ain't it a bitch?

My pie in the sky idea is that the idiots pushing the 3D cart might give up and go back to giving the consumer something he actually wants. I can count on the thumbs of both feet the number of things I would care to watch in 3D. IT doesn't really add anything much to the experience except, potentially, vertigo.

Developing cross-browser websites is probably a worse problem. The differences between the Droid and the Desire are piddling compared to those between IE and Firefox/Chrome/Safari/whatever, without even going into the problem of old versions of those browsers.

In a perfect world, books needn't go out of print. Every work ever committed to digital media should be available online for purchase at a fair price - maybe $5 per title.

Hell, the distribution would be virtually free, just a little storage and some bandwidth. And they'd make sales that they otherwise wouldn't. And we could find the old titles we love without having to shell out $30 + P&H for a 20YO mass market paperback that'll fall apart if we read it more than once.

Oh, and no DRM. Obviously.

That's what it'll take to get me onboard. "I may be some time..."

Oddly enough, when I go from MS SQL or Postgres to Oracle, I end up looking down on Oracle. Sure it's fast, but its standards compliance is lousy.
But yes, let's all point and laugh at the Access user, by all means. ;^)

It's small, light and silent, and it even comes with a decent remote and HDMI cable. I paid under AUD150 for mine, and I swear by it.
You can install a hard drive if you like, or attach USB dries, but I just go straight off the network (ethernet). It does also have wireless, but I don't recommend it.

I understand the A C Ryan Playon! might be even better...

Just to open them; the fetching was a side-benefit. Unfortunately, the last company that made the old-fashioned cans Gallegher favoured stopped production shortly thereafter.

Suppose you decide at some time in the future that you'd like to take a few courses? What special arrangements will the examiners have to make to keep you from cheating? Flay you?

Welcome our new, blue-screened robot overlords.

Nope. No way have Microsoft ever applied common sense. You'll never make money from that patent.
