Which RCS is the best James Blunt?

Is there an actual regulation or whatever that requires that sort of reaction?
Probably not.
I'm not going to lie and say I've read the entire legislation.

Regulations tend to require correct functioning under an appropriate range of conditions (usually a wide range for anything that comes under HIPAA and equivalent) and correct handling of live data. The license on the software is not a concern; it's the overall system that gets certified (or not). Licensing is probably a concern for whoever is funding it (which might well be Blakey's employer) but that's not the same thing at all; I know people in the US who have done HIPAA-compliant stuff just fine based on OSS.

Yeah, I really just wanted blakey to admit his unfounded bigotry.

Good. Luck. With. That.

Nothing to you.
It costs them, as they now have to sort through your shitty broken library and the other 47 people who also make shitty broken open source libraries in the vain effort to find one that kind of maybe half-works.
Wait, why should I give a SINGLE MINUSCULE FUCK about blakey and his problems, FREE OF CHARGE? Because otherwise I can't bask in the blissful glory of the holy blakey using my code? What a great loss! Well, actually not. He might just go and eat shit as well. No difference for my world, whatso-fucking-ever.

hmm... this time. I'll be impressed if you can repeat the experiment with the same results.
it's not science if the results aren't repeatable.

You shouldn't. Who said otherwise?
-
Then whatever you say about someone who picks up random code around and then complains loudly about problems is irrelevant. Wait, it's right there in the warranty disclaimer. You want merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose? Shut up and pay up. That's how it works. That's why there exists such thing as dual licensing.
-
I still have to suffer from OTHER morons picking open source bullshit to base products on.
See: Discourse.
Or see: all the breaking changes going into the C# world now that they've adopted the "open source philosophy". Especially Entity Framework.

Quote me.

Isn't that the thing you like to tell everyone to use?
I think that was someone else. But discosearching for who it was… life is too short.

No... I wasn't sure. That's why I asked.

It's entirely possible

Postgres is a decent database In my experience. Over here, I use PGAdmin III as a GUI Tool. Its miles away from something like SQLServer, but I can live with it.
-
No... I wasn't sure. That's why I asked.
If you can't quote me saying it, I didn't fucking say it. There's no need to ask.
-
Or maybe I don't feel like searching because Discosearch is terrible. Maybe that's it
-
Quote me.
Everyone should use the Entity Framework, it's the best thing ever. Second best thing is Linux, and third is git.
Done.

Do you use any ORM? I liked Linq to SQL when I was using C#

MySQL used to be GPL (i.e.: in the view of user, as long as you don't resell it, it's free to use), and then after they bought by Oracle, they transfer to dual license that forbid your software to embed the DB engine in the installer unless you also share your source code or buy their commercial license.
Of course, feel free to ask your customers to just download and install MySQL themselves.
If you're worried about the MySQL license, you could use MariaDB. It's a fork of the original MySQL from the point Oracle bought it, and they've been making a lot of refinements and adjustments to improve the speed and stability. They're touting it as a drop in replacement to MySQL (I can't verify this as I've never tested it like that), faster for some types of queries, and with more DB engines and function features than MySQL.
I know open source gets a bad press on here, particularly for forking and fragmentation, but this is the kind of scenario where it's actually very beneficial.

Does LINQ to SQL even quality as an ORM? When it lacks such advanced features as "joins"?
-

Nah, that's just some* peoples' view on it. Most of us are agnostic or pro-open-source.

Nonsense! You can have any join you like, as long as it's an inner join.
