Shhh. We were calling it BlueOrb. Don't let him in on our secret.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
I was wondering if one could just slip Windows Mojave at the guy in the original post from the other day :rolleyes:

For two days the Lounge has been nothing but Chrome this and Chrome that. Chrome is not going to be the "Web OS" of the future, because I am already working on it[^]! Take that suckers! ;P
Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river which gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your client provides no concrete or steel, only timber and cut stone (but they won't tell you what kind). The coefficient of gravity changes randomly from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer
Robert, your sig is the single most enlightening description of corporate IT that I have ever read. Kudos to you, good sir. David
I have nothing against VB or .NET; all programming languages are respectable. It just seems that some languages attract one echelon of programmers, and other languages attract another echelon of programmers. :P

Budget: $ 20-100 I think it's missing six zeros..? :laugh: Where do such people come from?

I picked the new browser for a test drive yesterday and actually like what I see. I can't vote and emoticons are clipped on the right side. :P I haven't had any problems with other websites, though, that must mean CodeProject has bad markup/CSS, right? ;P When there's a new browser I usually take it for a ride and try browsing my usual daily sites with it for an hour or so. I am a Firefox user and no other browser was able to keep me for longer than an hour (OK, I use IE8 for debugging in VS), but I actually like Chrome. It has a very clean UI (the whole window consists mostly of the page area), is very fast and responsive and has some smooth animations ;). It has not broken yet, I'd like to see how this process separation works (sad tab). Currently I am missing AdBlock (I have it turned off on CP to support you guys), I also need Firebug for work.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Come on, Chrome is the newest thing ;P

Why thank you! Your sig quite succinctly sums up the way most people feel about Visual Basic (but won't admit it in public).

The only problem is that 'Mojave' costs more then 100$... Plus it don't have all the features XP Pro has. Have you ever tried to search for files that contain some string in them with Vista? :confused:
Not that I'm a fan of Vista (I'm not), but findstr still seems to work fine even on Vista (though I'm surprised it doesn't first pop a few security dialogs, then want to hit MS's site to verify licensing, then pop more dialogs asking you to upgrade, and then finally crash or hang... like so many other Vista features...)

LOL. I'm not talking about an API feature... When you want to search for files via "Start"->"Search"->"For files and folders", you can't search for "a word or a phrase in the file", which leaves you to rely on external search tools.

Yeah, Windows' desktop search engine is supposed to have full-text indexing. Sadly, it doesn't have ifilters for most programming-related plain-text files, but that can be overcome by using a command-line tool (findstr works great).

I'm reading this forum in Chrome, so I am really getting a kick out of all these replies.
