    At CP we both :rose: MS and :mad: MS, although it has to be said that some :rose: more than :mad: and vice-versa.

      Does the bull own the rabbits in the meadow ?

      «If you search in Google for 'no-one ever got fired for buying IBM:' the top-hit is the Wikipedia article on 'Fear, uncertainty and doubt'»  What does that tell you about sanity in these times?

      Is that one of those zen koans? Feels like I should know more about the cosmos if I only knew the relationship between bulls and bunnies.

        Wow! Never used MSDN search before, but checked it and MY article came first on the list! I may abandon Google...

        By using MSDN I came to the conclusion that if you are searching something Windows related MSDN search is actually more useful and accurate than many generic search engines. If only the .NET documentation was well crafted as the Win32 one...

              You're lucky, I don't have neither hearts nor kegs. A life without love and alcohol (or at least one of the two) is an empty life :D

                      CodeProject has always been and, I believe, was always intended to be a Microsoft-oriented site. Rumor has it that several of the early Microsoft top management folks slept with Bob before they discovered pretty girls. Once they were billionaires they had more options, of course. Other technologies are welcome, but we don't see them very often.

                      Will Rogers never met me.

                        .NET's kinda been big in the news lately. But no, Microsoft haven't bought a share but if they have a spare squillion lying around then I'm happy to negotiate from our tax-friendly hollowed-out-volcano island HQ.

                            Bad news, Chris; when he's drunk, Bob talks, and he's a cheap date. All those times you've been binging with the rodents in the server vault, Bob's been skipping over to Bullhead City for a little jet ski action and cheap beer. Like I said, he talks... I don't, of course, but I take notes... :rolleyes:

                              If they ever do buy into the Project, don't forget that you promised, years ago, that the first 5,000 members would get Preferred Voting shares, and the rest mere non-voting Common stock. Or warrants to be granted at our whim...:cool:
