1. The tail surface produces downward lift and
2. The wing has positive camber.
Both can be assumed to be correct in almost any case. Now let’s look at the three recommendations in detail:

] | Anti-virus programs block autorun.inf on the solely purpose not to allow some .exe-s to start automatically on pen drive insert. So, basically, what you're asking is impossible. | I havent used Windows in a long time, but I am fairly sure there is a setting in Windows to enable/disable autorunning executeables on mounted drives. That and changing such setting in your antivirus application (or get a new, saner one) would be my best guess.
Good luck! |
151,322 | Recently, I read a lot of good articles about how to do good encapsulation. And when I say "good encapsulation", I am not talking about hiding private fields with public properties; I am talking about preventing users of your API from doing wrong things.

] | Answer: When you have your interface complete, then automatically you are done with encapsulation. It does not matter if implemenation or consumption part is incomplete, you are done since interface is accepted as final.

] | The fact that your code is not being written as a public API is not really the point--the maintainability you mention is.
Yes, application development is a cost center, and the customer does not want to pay for unnecessary work.

] | Sure - you can program whatever you like. Whether it makes any sense is a different question.
As for whether having an ERP/CMS hybrid makes sense or already exists - I don't think so.
