By day, I'm a mild-mannered SharePoint infrastructure consultant for a Microsoft Gold partner. By night, I sleep. I've been working with SharePoint since 2006.
I have taken the time to write a few Microsoft exams and in turn Microsoft has graciously granted me the following certifications:

Why can't I create site collections in some CDBs? Release To Manufacturing. It's the first version released to the public. In SharePoint 2010's case, you have the version released in April 2010. Since then there has been a cumulative update released every two months. SP1 was released in June and there have since been two more CUs. See here for updating SharePoint: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/ff800847 |

What does “unified infrastructure” mean, and how is it different in 2010 than in 2007? +1 The idea is any server in the farm can run any service is generally what this means. There are a few exceptions (eg. user profile synchronization for a UPA can run on only a single server at a time). |

Why can't I create site collections in some CDBs? Looks like RTM. It may not solve your problem, but you could try installing (at a minimum) SP1. |

Why can't I create site collections in some CDBs? If I understand correctly, it sounds like you are saying that there could be are content databases that are in a state between online and not attached to the farm. They are referenced somewhere in some database but are missing a GUID, or the GUID in the database is not present? The scenario sounds interesting, but I'm not clear where these values should (or should not?) exist. |

SharePoint 2010 - Enable all logging timer jobs. Performance? A good way to answer this question would be to explain what each of these jobs is for, and what it does when enabled. This would give a better understanding of the performance. |

Outlook Distribution List and WSS 3 If it's not a user or a mail-enabled security group, the only other option I can think of is a customization where an email is send to a defined email address. You can't add contacts or DLs within SharePoint. |

How can I let users enter credentials for a Secure Store Target Application? I remember reading somewhere that you need to create a custom webpart that can collect credentials and store them in SecureStore. |

SharePoint 2010 - Database Schema I'm +1'ing this thing because there's nothing about accessing the databases in the FAQ and because it is an extremely common question. |

SharePoint 2010 - Database Schema Actually, the table schemas change all the time. CUs are known to change table names, column names, stored proceedures, etc. Just a recent example: SP2010 SP1 changed the dbo.Sites table in the content database to dbo.AllSites. This is a primary reason why modifying the databases is unsupported, because you can't be sure your changes will conflict with a future update. |

Rename database pointer in SharePoint 2010 Yes, there are lots of issues with using a FQDN for the SQL Server... setting up an alias would require the alias name be a FQDN... so I agree an alias won't likely solve the problem. A farm backup/restore redirected to a new database may work. |

Adding document version number on Excel Spreadsheet as label for printing purpose Did you try following those steps but instead of using a Word document, using an Excel file? My assumption is the process is probably 99% the same, just wondering if my assumption is wrong. |

User Profile Sync will not sync any users Based on Shane's points, my assumption (and Shane can correct me if I'm wrong) is that the farm account has this right as it sounds like it previously worked. |
