Damn! I always thought it stood for the TurboBoost on Michael Knight's KITT.
I think the label "Turbo" comes from speed gained in two ways: 1) Making software simple enough for Dummies to learn in 24 hours, 2) Making software fast and simple by ignoring a whole boatload of quality.

Yup, and the word "metaphor" obviously isn't in the same dictionary that you got that from.

Well I best turn myself in now.
Always arrive in the nick of time due to the "dad I need a wee"
And I always whistle while walking so that I can't here the darling children fight amongst themselves.
And the Mrs always moan if I go away unshaven
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.

So if you are on an early flight, you're a terrorist? O...Kay....
(Yawning lots)
If you are a little late?
(Complaining)
Got a cold, or thirsty?
(Throat clearing)
Trying desperately not to fall asleep because it's so stupidly early?
(Eyes wide open)
Wearing what will be appropriate when you get off the plane? Or what is appropriate at the airport, but not at the destination? Or wearing shorts and a suit jacket because it's so damn early in the morning?
(Inappropriate attire)
Whistling because you are happy to be going on holiday?
(Whistling)
Shy? Or got a boil the size of California on the end of your nose?
(Gazing down)
...
What a crock!

I figured they'd have a specific one for that: "Fidgeting"

It shows they don't have a flipping clue about who is and who is not a danger based on very superficial signs.
While I am on the subject, just look at what happened to Knox and Sollecito based purely on the police thinking she looked a bit dodgy.

I'm curious, what is "Murica", and what does it have to do with this post?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Just google for pictures Murica, you'll find out soon

Never mind, that term is "normally" not used that often
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Its a term that the feeble minded use to describe the US. Sad really...
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

It is sad that the american ppl fit to this, too often :/
No offense intended
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

If you dare complain, you're a terrorist.
Wonder if that would work for our customers?

In typical committee-concocted style, what they've gone for is an exaggeratedly verbose list that could be summed up in a single sentence:
"Treat everyone like sht1"
The guidelines are totally unnecessary, because they've been doing that for years, anyway.

I've been working seriously on HTML5/CSS stuffs since some months only, but I have a 8-10 years experience with XAML (WPF desktop apps).
What I'm realizing is that the layout model of the modern browsers seems much more "primitive" yet cumbersome than the XAML specifications. In other words: why don't see how "others" (i.e. XAML and related) have solved the layout modelization, and pick the best from all the available in the world?
However, I wouldn't say too much: just curious about other developers opinion.
Thanks in advance.

My very quick and non-expert opinion on this is that XAML for WPF has guidelines that are written for the .Net framework.
This means that you know what the output is going to look like - I really like the hand-coding aspect of WPF. Basically it works as it is designed to work.
Whilst with HTML you have a whole number of browsers that you are designing for, so sometimes you have no idea of how the browser, a particular user will use, implements the rendering of HTML - hence HTML being a PITA.

I dislike everything connected to browsers, HTML and scripting. It's the incompatibilities, the less than optimal look and response and of course the arcane layout rules of HTML that never really convinced me. Primitive yet cumbersome is a very good way to describe it.
XAML is far more flexible. I did not only use it for my own UI and the layout of the views, the UI styles, but also to load scenes and animations into the graphics engine in the background. XAML is all about creating instances of serialized classes and does not care what the classes actually are for.
