    I have several thousand rounds of ammo at the ready, and all of my magazines are full I can take out several hundred hoard participants without having to reload a magazine (eight 30-round, six 20-round, eight 7-round, and five 12-round, and three 25-round). Let's see... that makes 551 dead or wounded, and I have a speed loader for the AR that lets me fill a 30 round magazine in about 10 seconds. It'll take them that long to climb over the dead/dying that are stacked at the door. I'm not worried (and I have a Bowie knife, but I only use it to cut off ears for my trophy cabinet).

    Then pray that the leader of the hordes never met my drill instructors :) Otherwise they would not come one after another and from several sides and even do something as cowardly as using any available cover. Your odds would rise if you have your own horde inside your castle, but even then tend sieges to be short, brutal and to the defender's disadvantage with modern weapons. And let's not get totally unfair and think about some artillery or air support.

    A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

      A question about that page: isn't the "vi gang sign" more commonly known as "the shocker?"


      He said, "Boy I'm just old and lonely, But thank you for your concern, Here's wishing you a Happy New Year." I wished him one back in return.

        that comics defective. The VI graph is missing the coils of razor wire at the top, and the minefield and attack dogs guarding the front of the wall.

                You can't add anything to the express editions. I remember reading an email chain (I believe from the developer of testdriven.net) where he had a long drawn out discussion with MS over why you can't put things into express editions.

                    I guess you're right. Express doesn't offer the Tools/AddInManager menu item which Pro does. If so, 1. I can stop trying 2. I wish the installer would make that clear. Thanks. :)

                      Chris - you really should look into Mole (by our very own Rockstar and k-dawg). If you do any SL/WPF development, then you will find that Karl's XAML Power Toys is a real time saver.

                        Yup. Mostly i use 2k10 to exercise Weven's app crash recovery feature. In hundreds of trials, it's yet to fail to reload VS after the crash.

It's called Vingy (Visual Studio + Bing). It allows you to search a number of sources for help right from the IDE.

                                          Download worked fine, installing failed, when I tried it. Why tell me this? Put it on Suggs&bugs forum if you must. :)
