Would you have the same outlook if it were George Soros attempting to take Twitter private? 🤔

They’re possibly trying to pad their resume or reputation. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Black.

Just like my saves, early and often. ;)

Hello there, fellow Arc/Info user! Been a user since 4.x circa 1991 and still have a few AML scripts running in production that are just waiting for time allocation to be rewritten and retired. 😉

You don't have to spend $1K, not even close. I faced the same situation awhile back with a web application my organization developed; it worked for every browser, desktop or mobile, except iOS Safari. I picked up a 2009 MacBook Pro running El Capitan with 4GB RAM and 120GB SSD from a local computer shop for $325. With this setup, I was able to connect my iPad and quickly identify the CSS element causing the issue. The deals are out there (local shops, pawn shops, Craigslist, etc.), you just have to be persistent.

YMMV but YES! It brought new life back to every 2007 or newer PC desktop, laptop, iMac, and MacBook I've put one in.

What's wrong with using log4net?

Or the lack of a trim() function.

Speaking of bugs, do you know if they fixed the failure in the Debug.Assert() in VS11? I just ran across the bug where certain asserts fail and are logged to the Output window but the code continues running. Argh!

Old Windows never die -they just go virtual.

Least favorite (in order of annoyance) 3. Dynamic help was actually very useful. Sad to see it go

I found Dynamic Help to be a quick help for everything and miss it dearly. Another feature I miss is the registry hack to enable margin guidelines in the editor. VS2010 will only display the margins with the help of an extension which is fine on my development box. But many of the boxes I work on only have an Express version installed and can't utilize extensions - unless that's changed?

Visual Studio C#: prop<tab><tab>

I believe you! I clicked on it earlier today with Firefox and saw all the updates. But just now I opened the link with IE8 and got this message:

"Internet Explorer was unable to update this feed and will try again later."

The last article shown is "VBA Code Tools" posted on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 10:14:00 AM. I'm sure it's something on my end but I don't have a freaking clue. Argh!

I've been getting RSS updates using Windows Live Mail running on Windows 7 since October but haven't received anything new since February 17th. Other than the monthly Windows updates and installation of Eclipse nothing else of significance has changed. Has anybody else experienced this?

I love the fact that my Windows 7 laptop connects effortlessly to my wireless router with its hidden SSID. The opposite of Vista where I would have to continually refresh the list of available connections until it finally stumbled upon the router.

i like that the 'show desktop' button has been reduced to a tiny rectangle in the lower-right side of the taskbar. no really, i do. you can just throw your mouse down and to the right, then click. it's almost a gesture, now.

Just my preference but I find it easier to press Windows+D.

This old joke is applicable to this thread on so many levels...

A physician, a civil engineer, and a computer scientist were arguing about what was the oldest profession in the world. The physician remarked, "Well, in the Bible, it says God created Eve from a rib taken out of Adam. This required surgery, and so I can rightly claim that mine is the oldest profession in the world." The civil engineer interrupted, and said, "But even earlier in the book of Genesis, it states that God created the order of the heavens and the earth from out of chaos. This was the first and certainly the most spectacular application of civil engineering. Therefore, fair doctor, you are wrong: mine is the oldest profession in the world." The computer scientist leaned back in her chair, smiled, and said confidently, "Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?"
