I don't agree with Java being #1. It's slow (still, despite all the propaganda that says otherwise.) It uses a virtual machine, rather than running natively on the intended target. I can't come up with a single example Java application that I like. The silly naming conventions (beans, jars, wars...

I propose Zombie Unicorn rep. The combined rep earned on all failed Stack Exchanges you've participated in. Obviously you would have Zombie Unicorn badges too.

I think it's pretty clear that he's a spammer. 40 answers and every single one of them has that link. (OK, I just did a spot check, but I was 10 for 10). Even if he was just throwing this link into every single WebDAV question, I would still consider him a spammer; the fact that he's also spam...

I've never used TSQL before, but I decided I wanted to poke around in the SO data dump anyways. So this is probably a rookie question. I did try to search for an answer, but I don't know the technical term for what I'm trying to do, and search is only so good if you don't have the right keywords....

I am looking for a web application to manage my support emails. Our business has 5 employees and we split the task of answering support questions. Until now we would just use a gmail account that we all had access to, but now the questions and issues are increasing steadily and we need a more ro...
