"it could also be used to fend off bears"
Yeah, without ammo. Just club 'em to death with it!

Hunting? If you're so close to the target that you don't have time to cycle a bolt-action rifle, or if you're so poor a shot that you need to empty a five-round magazine to drop your target, you certainly don't have time to pull out a pistol of any description, and you most assuredly don't belong in the field hunting anything.

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013

I'm sure the chipmunk or squirrel on the receiving end of it will find it a painfree experience.
Just wait until some disgruntled high-school student gets his hands on one.

"Clint Eastwood in the 1973 film 'Dirty Harry', brandishing his infamous Smith & Wesson .375 calibre hand gun"
How many errors are in that sentence?
This space intentionally left blank.

It was 1971, not 1973.

What kind of forearms would you need to hold on to that thing? 
I could do one shot, but I'd need assistance finding the gun behind me somewhere to fire a second.
Will Rogers never met me.

Looks like one of the guns in Roger Rabbit. :p

So that's what they do with the barrels of decommissioned tanks.
Backpack-gun? Hell, I'd be asking if it comes with a tandem-trailer.

They're all programming languages, just different types. To my mind "programming language" is a superset. Within that you have statically typed, dynamically typed, scripting...

Now, I know what you're saying, but..
I am. I'm familiar with those applications. And they should be nuked. "Programming" an application in T-SQL is the most heinous crime ever invented anywhere in the galaxy.

Reading the original article, it became clear the T-SQL isn't the most popular but increased it's popularity by the largest percentage over the last year (almost 1%) - that what made it the programming language of the year...
|

|

Basicing anything of "percent increase in popularity" is generally nonsense, and good only for hype purposes.
Say product A has 100 users and product B has 3. A year later, A has 110 users and B has 9. A had 10% growth while B had 200%, which sounds good in a press release as long as you ignore the facts that 1) A is still way more popular, 2) A added more users, and 3) A added more users than B has total.
Truth,

Just right. For that you have to read original article - from that it clear how the title is misleading...

T-SQL does bring a lot to the table (sorry - I'll get my coat)

I was somewhat saddened by an email from Intel to inform us that they are closing the AppUp store! One cannot help but wonder whether they did an adequate job of marketing the store.
