If I want to use a traditional approval type workflow in a regular asp.net system, for example
an order that needs an approval before order is placed. Rather than having the traditional
enum for OrderStatus, can I benefit from using microsoft WF4 (Workflow version 4) for this
or will I just generate more complexity and more code for no added benefit?
Any time you have a long running operation like this WF4 is a good possibility. The fact that the graphical designer allows you to show the actual running process, not a Visio copy of it, is also a huge benefit.
There is however a learning curve to WF4 and there are times you have to do things the WF4 way instead of the C#/VB way you did before. That said there is certainly a benefit, thinks like an approval request not being handled in, lets say, 14 days is very easy to do in WF4.

Is it possible to detect if a person is drunk via image recognition or face-scanning? If it's possible, is there an API available for that?
You could try to code again the accelerometer. Maybe a drunk person is unable to hold the phone still??

This is a RESTful face recognition api and maybe what you want http://www.faceplusplus.com . But I don't know whether it can detect drunk face.
OpenCV! Haartraining!
FYI: I recommend you to work haartraining with something different concurrently because you have to wait so many days during training (it would possibly take one week). I typically experimented as 1. run haartraining on Friday 2. forget about it completely 3. see results on next Friday 4. run another haartraining (loop).

I've been looking around for a Mortgage Payoff calculator and it looks like the ones that are available are primarily commercial. Does anyone know if it already exists somewhere in script form that could be translated into another language?
If not, is anyone familiar enough with the logic that wouldn't mind sketching up the pseudo-code? I'll be able to script everything together once it's laid out but all searching I've done so far has only turned up results for creating an Mortgage (not payoff) calculator.
In addition to the obvious utility, hopefully putting this logic out there will help people better understand how their mortgage is being calculated.

The amortization shows you the remaining principal which is the same as the payoff amount.

I'm a Ruby on Rails developer and I'm very intrigued by what Lift has to offer, but I'm having a very hard time getting together some good resources/documentation to start off.
Should I use Lifty? I can't manage to get it working under sbt 0.12; Is there another tool for code generation?
Is there a way to see snippet changes live on the development server without spending money on JRebel?
Going around on some forums i saw that Manning's Lift in Action is not up-to-date; is there any other tutorial-style book I can look into to grasp the basics on how to make a Lift app from scratch? I found many guides but none of them gives me a clear path on how to work with Lift.

JRebel is free for Scala developers - just get yourself an account at my.jrebel.com

As per the article at W3Techs, Perl ranks the lowest among the server side scripting languages, even less than Java? Is there any reason behind it? Perl, as far as I see, is very popular, and an awesome language, how come it is hardly used by websites? Does it have issues with server side scripting?
This article has a lot of details on how W3Techs gets their data: http://w3techs.com/blog/entry/usage_of_perl_for_websites_fell_below_1_percent
As i did some analysis on this, let me summarize in short that the data presented by W3Techs is deeply flawed and extremely misleading. First off, it is important to know that they detect technologies of sites by running simple scripts at them that look for file suffixes in urls and then just take that and never verify with the site owner. As such they have a "no-detect" rate of 17.6% (plus an unknown "false-detect" rate). A more correct version of their chart would be this:
If you'd like to get more details and more mistakes in their data methodology, please take a look at the comments of the article, especially those written by "Mithaldu" or "Christian Walde", i.e. me. I posted extensively there as to why their data is nearly useless and why they're even misinterpreting the data they do have.

Does anyone know of a real good SSMS Add-In that beautifies T/SQL, isn't too expensive and also does things around best practices for T/SQL formatting?
I'm well aware of Red Gate's tool, but ~$300 is quite a killer amount.
http://www.red-gate.com/products/SQL_Refactor/index.htm
I've seen this Add-In, but it's purely about indentation.
http://www.wangz.net/sqlpp/ssmsaddin.html
Neither solution addresses the commenting and header best practices.
I came across this tool:
http://www.apexsql.com/sql_tools_refactor.asp
It's pretty good for a free product. Nothing beats the Red Gate tools however.
Have you tried SQL Enlight?
These ones have some basic features
