What is technet subscription all about?
Will it give me a license for an o/s, vs.net for use in production for "free"?
How does it differ from MSDN?
This link (http://ladylicensing.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!87F95F1B5B21B01E!1241.entry) has more information (This is the blog of Licensing Escalation Manager at MS). To quote from the link:
"The software provided with an MSDN Subscription is for design, development, testing, and demonstration of applications in a non-production environment.
The software provided with TechNet Plus subscriptions is for evaluation purposes only."
Technet is basically demoware. MSDN is real products.
MSDN is designed for programmers.
Technet is designed for non-programming IT professionals.
The way it was explained to me by a Microsoft guy.
Technet is intended for IT professionals to evaluate the various products and use it for providing support for said products. It's also used for planning deployments and testing your custom stuff like macros.
MSDN is intended for development professionals to build and support their own products on or around Microsoft products.
MSDN costs more but think about the target audience - professional developers.

I would to know which one choose MarkLogic vs MongoDB, I know its properties but in term of learning which one is more acceptable to choose? I have chosen MarkLogic but I think it's difficult to learn because it has a lot of documentation and it hasn't much comunity developers.
I have to choose one option for project our company and my boss is worried about MarkLogic's curve learning.
Help me which one choose.
Disclosure: I work for MarkLogic.
You mention your concern about learning how to work with MarkLogic. We have a MarkLogic University team that has excellent training resources. Take a look at their Developer Track courses. These courses are free and are available with in-person, via-Internet, or self-paced formats. Once you've learned the basics, you can follow that up with tutorials, the technical blog, On Demand videos, guides, and maybe a local Meetup, based on your needs. Our community may not be as big, but those who work with MarkLogic tend to be very helpful. You can post specific technical questions here on Stack Overflow.
The bigger question is what do you need from your database? For that, I'll join #Tamas in referring to his article comparing the two.

Does anyone know of a free build server service to coincide with scm/forum/issue tracking services such as sourceforge/googlecode?
Obviously hudson/jenkins service would be my first preference related to primarily java/maven2, but anything would be nice!
Thanks!
Cloudbees has an offering for FOSS projects.
Another one (especially for public Github repos): http://travis-ci.org/
Researching the same thing currently, I stumbled over jenkinshosting.com (reported as suspicious site, Aug2012)- Jenkins build server, free for FOSS. Haven't tried it yet, though.
Atlassian offers licensed and on-demand products to open-source projects. Bamboo may be included.
https://www.atlassian.com/software/views/open-source-license-request
A TeamCity based server farm is available for open source projects through http://teamcity.codebetter.com/. Read the announcement.
Another option for OSS is http://www.appveyor.com/, which is including support for Windows 8.1 store apps.
Jenkinshosting.com use to offer free open source hosting. It's worth checking out to see if it's still continued.

Is there any software for viewing UML-like diagrams of postgreSQL DB schemas for the Mac? Here's an example of what I would like to see.
(source: google.com)
Cheap's good, free's better.
A similar question was asked here, but the software pointed to here appears not to be available for the Mac, and is no longer being supported anyway.
Some days ago I had the same question. I found several, but the one that I'm using is DbVisualizer. It is multi-platform, free, and easy to install. It also has a paid version, but the free one is enough for visualization purposes. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, Informix, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and many other DBMS'.
Here is the download link
DbWrench is not free (but not expensive either) and quite good: http://www.dbwrench.com/
PowerArchitect Community edition is free, but the really interesting features seem to go into the enterprise edition: http://www.sqlpower.ca/page/architect
Both are Java based and work on the Mac
Aqua Data Studio offers an ER diagram generator and ER modeler but it's pricey now.
Free licenses for qualified open source developers; reduced licenses for qualified academic users.
The accepted answer's link doesn't work any more.
Here is an acceptable tool that's free and produces graphic diagrams: http://www.dbvis.com/

I recently read through Code Complete, and it recommends that I create a project specification before actually coding.
The book didn't go very far into detail about what 'specs' are, and how they are made. Because this is a crucial part of software development, I would like to know how to create quality specs that are not too exhaustive.
Where can I learn more about software specifications? Or any of the other prerequisites outlined in Code Complete?
Here's Joel's article on Function Design documents.
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000036.html
If you are looking for books, I can recommend two right now, and in fact, I ordered a third because it looked good.
The two I can recommend fully are:
Software Requirements (2nd Edition)
More about Software Requirements
I also ordered a third book:
Software Requirements Patterns
Joel Spolsky posted the functional spec to his CoPilot application along with a brief blog post about it.
