comment Could not find endpoint element with name '' and contract '' in the ServiceModel client configuration section
I mean <System.serviceModel>...</System.serviceModel>. Copy that section and place it in your main SharePoint web.config file (in IIS, find your SharePoint virtual directory, there is a webconfig; make sure you save a copy before you edit). Your code is trying to find an endpoint for your WCF service; it cannot find it, because you have not specified an endpoint in your SP web.config.

Have you tried putting the web service configuration (Service.ServiceModel tag) in the SharePoint's web.config?

comment SharePoint 2013 Installation Issue
I agree with you. I have to eventually convince our IT Admin to migrate this server to a domain. Or, convince him to create a separate sever as a domain controller.

comment Opening SharePoint Central Admin throws an error
After you ran the SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard, I assume you received a successful message. Do you see any warnings in the logs after running the wizard?

comment SharePoint 2010 - Visual Studio Project Structure
The important thing to remember is that you should maintain consistency and clarity when designing your project structure. You should also watch out of long solution/project/file names. I have seen people use the project namespace as the project name, later causing long path issues. I personally try to keep the file names short but descriptive enough.

comment Most Efficient Way to Scan Large Volume of Records/Documents into SharePoint
Agree with you 100% that we should keep the content DBs under recommended supported limit. That is have many small (manageable) content DBs, instead of few large ones.

comment Most Efficient Way to Scan Large Volume of Records/Documents into SharePoint
The use of BLOB storage is not necessarily a good option if the documents and records, on average, are < (80 - 100) KB (download.microsoft.com/download/2/C/D/…) But, I will surely use this option for very large documents, records, and assets.

comment Most Efficient Way to Scan Large Volume of Records/Documents into SharePoint
1. I will use the Content organizer feature to route the records to the appropriate record center, once I have the records scanned and uploaded into SP. 2. I will use the built-in IFilter of the Windows Server to OCR TIFF records. 3. I am interested to find a proven scanning infrastructure hardware/software solution. I am guessing HP or Xerox have some sort of software to make the process of scanning and importing docs/records into SP easier.

comment Auto-Update Statics On/Off
Got it! Just to add to that only certain SP DBs should have these options set to off. They are: Configuration databases, Content databases, User Profile Service Application Profile databases, User Profile Service Application Social databases, Web Analytics Service Application Reporting databases, Web Analytics Service Application Staging databases, Word Automation Services databases, WSS_Logging (ref: blogs.msdn.com/b/chunliu/archive/2011/11/17/…)

comment Does Sharepoint 2010 Enterprise work on SQL Standard version?
As Hugh mentioned, the Enterprise edition allows you to scale up the SQL Server, allowing you to add more memory and CPU core to the SQL Server and do more enterprise level stuff. Unless you are deploying a large scale SP farm then you do not need the Enterprise edition. Enterprise edition is a lot more expensive; and it gets really expensive as you add more processor core. In your case, I would go with the Standard edition of SQL Server 2008 (or 2008 R2 or 2012). Avoid the Express edition if you can because sooner or later you will hit the express edition limitations.

comment File size limit for a document in SharePoint is actual file size or file size on disk
The difference is minuscule, but it is based on the file size not file size on the disk.

Also, the Usage database is the only SharePoint database that is OK for you to read against. As Per Jakobsen mentioned, you should never directly access or modify any other SP database.

If you have configured the Usage and Health Data collection in Central Administration Web site, you can use the Web Analytics reports to get the insight you are looking for, plus more.
