You can also set DuckDuckGo as your default search engine and use bang syntax!

Too Smart For My Own GoodWow, I just had a brilliant idea! Let's also create a program to convert your generated music back into an image. That way you can transfer images through sound (and see the music).

Multiple browser-window-tab configurations?Go for Opera. It has tab groups done right (unlike Firefox). You basically just drag a tab on top of another tab and you have a group. On top of that Opera also has sessions, so you can save and restore multiple windows with mutliple tab(group)s.

Ubuntu and WindowsOr you could do it using the Windows 98 floppy disk. That used to work :cool:

UbuntuI'm not a huge fan of the way the UI in Ubuntu is going, with the whole Unity thing. Linux Mint is a distro based on Ubuntu that has a more Windows-like interface, with all the advantages of Ubuntu. If Microsoft doesn't make sure Windows 8 is mouse friendly, I might consider a permanent switch to Mint.

Web Page Colour Schemes...........oh dearIncluding animated gif for the logo, of course. Back to the 90s!

IE9 debugger.....how bad is that!I'd say Firebug is still the best tool out there for debugging CSS and scripts. I think the Firebug creator recently joined Google to work on devtools for Chrome, so there might be great improvements for those in the future!

Regions: Love or HateThe regions in there are completely ridiculous, but even comments couldn't have saved that code! A foreach with 150 lines including try-catches all over the place :wtf: That is just crappy coding. It should've been split up in multiple methods, with some decent naming, and then even comments would become unnecessary. A region could be used to surround all those new methods, cause that's what regions are for ;-)

It came out...What did his code look like? I would be kinda impressed if what a C# newbie wrote without an IDE is still okay code :)

Try To Excel, and Get Hampered by MediocrityI feel your pain. A customer of my company has a bunch of old ColdFusion webpages to display some GIS information based on MapGuide 6.5 with frames and blue text on a blue background and all that stuff you saw on the web in the 90s. They now want to upgrade the underlying technology to MapGuide 2012, which has an AJAX viewer and an even more fancy "Fusion" viewer (based on JavaScript). This is all built in, is tweakable and very user friendly. But ofcourse they don't want the website to change at all, so it needs to be remade in ASP.NET, but the result has to be the same (ugly) website and it will cost a huge amount of money to convert the entire website (compared to simply going for the built-in viewer). I don't understand all this. The cost of training people to work with something new is so low compared to being stuck with old crap with less productivity every day..
