palaver

Quit your hyperbolic palaver and tell me, in observable facts, how my life is fucked up.

This is meaningless palaver and, to the extent that it tells you anything actionable, that thing is frequently wrong.

Or are you talking about iPhone 6 battery throttling palaver where they slowed down devices with other batteries to stop them crashing.

There is that, but there is also the massive palaver at Gatwick which reveals that the authorities aren’t actually very good with modern tech.

I think their justification sounds pretty sensible: approx 100% of qualified C64 developers will have spent a good deal of time poring over the original code, so there's a very good chance that any supposedly clean room implementation will, legally speaking, be anything but. Hence all the extra palaver.

One suspects that if OSS developers routinely offered to invoice for "software support" rather than requesting a donation, this would be a vastly superior option from the company's viewpoint compared to having to go through the expensive palaver of hiring.

Pretty shameful.- VS2010+ craps massive files into your solution folder, worse even than the NCB palaver, and so your more junior and/or inept programmers will keep checking that junk into source control.- It's common in VS2008 to change the build product name by going to the Linker or Librarian property page and just changing that Output File property.
