Because we do our best to put back together countries in which we've had to make war. Don't believe it? I invite you to Google the "Marshal Plan".

There were plans. The plans were already executed. Did ya miss it? In any case, the action in Afghanistan was much bigger because there were 20,000 Al-quaida members training there, and they were being sheltered by what passed for a government there. The action in Pakistan was smaller because it was only one guy and his henchmen. If you think that the USA is terrified of taking on a nuclear country, consider that the USA could glass the entire middle east in an afternoon, and it would be damn easier than sending in ground troops. The only thing stopping us from doing so is... that we're human beings, with compassion, and we don't like war. But we accept that war is sometimes necessary - enemies rarely give you a choice.

I can't speak to the ability to change foregrounds/backgrounds on certain elements. I suspect it has to do with a particular element only changing the back/foreground, and relying on another element to provide the other one. But you can save yourself a lot of time by simply saving off your settings: Tools->Import and Export Settings At least you'll only have to do it once, and it saves all your keyboard customizations and many other things too.

As always, it really depends on what you want to do with your operating system. (All opinion here) Security - Linux, definitely. The OS is open for the whole world to see, so more security holes get found and fixed before it gets into a stable/popular distribution. In a security-critical server app, with no dependencies on Windows, I'd definitely go with Linux (or preferably *BSD). Of course this limits you to using a stable/popular distribution. If you run the bleeding-edge revision, you're probably going to have just as many security holes as Windows. Programming Experience - Windows. I've done both Linux and Windows programming, and in years past (with techs like MVC and ATL - bleh!) it really would have been a toss up. But in the last few years, Microsoft has moved ahead with techs like WCF, WPF/Silverlight, EF4, etc. There are analogous tools for Linux, integrated into one platform. I've seen people argue that Visual Studio is "locked down" so you're stuck with what MS gives you, but that isn't true. I've written several extensions for VS to do company-specific things - the platform is very extensible. You can write a tool to do anything that isn't already done by VS (like my favorite, ReSharper). Support - Toss up. Linux has much more online support, but it's spread out all over the place. If you've got some Google-fu skills, you'll find the answer. Microsoft has less support, but it's more centralized. A lot of people make the argument that just being able to call someone for support is necessary, but generally if professional programmers can't figure it out, it's a bug. And it's not like MS is going to fast-track a bug for you unless you routinely write 6 figure checks. Here[^]'s a bug that I've been dealing with for months. Edit: Forgot to add: My personal setup is a Windows 7 Pro PC with gobs of ram and a copy of VirtualBox, for those occasions where Linux is a better choice for a task.

The fix we decided on was to put a black image behind the images so that the transparent pixels will appear to be black.
Could you use a background color that was 1 RGB value from from the transparent color? (e.g. #02050B instead of black) I think the difference wouldn't even be perceptible at that point.

Umm, it (the full press conference) clearly shows security guards revoking his pass, asking for cameras to be switched off, and him being "invited to leave."

Eeeewww. Yeah I would definitely change that code. But if you do change it, make sure you change it to use query parameters instead of building SQL from scratch. It's not so bad when the tablename is hard-coded into the method itself but if passed in from outside, it's a huge security hole. (Some future slave might decide to call the method with user-provided input, and it won't be properly escaped) It's so hard to find good slaves today...

Have a look at the MVVM pattern that is in common use in WPF coding. It's basic selling point is that it completely separates the UI from the business logic. You could re-code separate pieces of the app over time, with no change on the UI. This would allow your users to act as a last line of defense against UI-breakage ("Hey, after the last update, XYZ broke"). Then, when you're finished with this separation, your Web UI will be a mechanical process of coding UI's for each piece. You said that the app is multithreaded. Does that imply that it is computationally intensive? All business logic will be centralized so your server will have to be beefy enough to deal with it.

I find the help system itself to be more stable, since (for me, anyway) it's running on MS servers - my context-help goes directly to FireFox and brings up a MSDN page. The gripe I really have about the help system is the same one I've had for years: the content. - Some methods throw exceptions that aren't in the help - Most of the help assumes that you already know everything about the class already. - Examples are incredibly simplistic, even for advanced classes (some of them just de-reference and print a few properties of the class, instead of showing me how the class is used in real life). Example is the WPF Treeview control - the data is created and bound in the XAML - who would do this?!?!? There is no example showing data bound from a DataContext, or MVVM style - Not enough thought has gone into linking classes to other classes, the way a real programmer uses them. Example: Exception class should have links all over it to AppDomain.UnhandledException. - non-working links. Example: String class. Click on String Operators. What's sad about this one is that a couple of these can be automated to ensure code-coverage. All that being said, it is getting better than years past. But once you've used Borland's Delphi/C++ Builder help, using MS's help is just depressing.

I post this not to just be contrarian, but to encourage you - there are setups that work: I use VS2010 every day in a production environment, with hardly a trouble (perhaps once a month it crashes on me), and find it to be more stable than 2008 by far. So keep digging! I'm using the latest hardware, drivers, and Win7 Pro, if that makes any difference. (It does crash every time if I try to build a project for the .NET Compact Framework - in upgrading to 2010 and removing 2008, somehow I got that platform munged. Luckily I only do embedded programming for fun :))

I 2nd the CDEX recommendation. I had about 300 CDs to rip, and I got through them in about 3 days by doing it in the background while I was working. It did all the gruntwork for me, once I got it configured: just pop a new CD in when the tray opens, click a button, repeat.
