The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Three things:
1. Compile time checking
2. LINQ
3. Fixing relational database to OO impedance mismatch
LINQ is so awesome, I wish every programming language had it.

I don' get this thinking at all. SQL is a high level Domain specific language for doing tuples calculus and set based algebra. It is a declarative language, and most database engines are able to compile it to a very good query plan and get you your results quickly. Yes modern ORMs are good, and are usually very well instrumented if you need to see what SQL they are actually generating. However, why not just write SQL. It doesn't take a lot longer in programmer time. ORMs don't generate better SQL than the average programmer. SQL is not assembly. Its readable and writable by mortals.
