Microsoft carried this style of layout builder into the original asp.net web-forms in the first couple versions of Visual Studio.NET. If I remember correctly it worked just like the form builder for VB6/MFC-C++, but it's been a while.

as if we needed further proof that Zuckerburg is an asshole

The last I heard CADE2, the modernized (J2EE) system, had replaced the majority of the IMF functionality (IMF is the core of tax return processing). I'm not completely sure though as I haven't talked to those guys in over 4 years now.

Vendor partnership, commercial support, legacy app support, .NET drivers and optimizations not available elsewhere, developer knowledge...

Why does Oracle, DB2, Sybase, or any other commercial RDBMS still exist?

I work for an org that just upgraded from XP to Win7, however we went straight to ie11 as the default browser during the upgrade. However, optional use Firefox and Chrome is permitted for both XP and Win7.

The bible belt continues to have some of the worst (or hardest) places to live in US. If find this very interesting, as many in this area continue to shun higher education in favor of strict adherence to the bible.

I have to add one group to your list, people who can't drink because of health issues or use of prescription drugs to treat health issues. I've been one of these persons for over a year now.

Group 4: "I would love to but I can’t. I’ll just have a glass of water (or a near-beer) instead"

As a former drinker (mostly beer), who now partakes an an occasional non-alcoholic beer. I can say that most NA beer does indeed suck, but not all of them. Erdinger and Buckler are pretty good and even O'Douls Amber is not too bad.

In most circumstances I am all for attorney-client privilege. But if you are in jail or prison and provided a medium to communicate to the outside world and that medium requires you to accept a consent to monitoring agreement before each use, then you should have no expectation of privacy regardless of whom the communication is with. The prison system has proper ways to initiate secure attorney-client communication and these people failed to use it, that’s their problem. However, I do think the law needs to be updated to allow for secure email communication between the attorney and client, but until that occurs they need to live within the confines of the law.

How come I can only choose one?

As a large enterprise I am aware of atleast one app using the following: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft, Oracle.

We also use: DB2, Informix, SQLite, and some others I don't even know about.
