And it needs to die. Flash is the new IE6.

I was just being cheeky.

That sounds like solid reasoning. :~ Seriously, the METRO version of Skype is minimalistic. I use the desktop version for some of the reasons cited as well as the fact it still has an API. It doesn't have to run at boot either.

That's not really how market capitalization works. I'll just give it to you, because I don't feel like arguing about it.

Feel better?

VL = volume licensing (open value & enterprise) SA = software assurance

OEM on a VM is a no go. VL and SA allow downgrading as does OEM (limited), but I cannot say about retail.

JavaScript has it's place, but this one thing everywhere nonsense has to stop.

I have a question, but I didn't want to sign-up at the site to ask it. I suppose this is a programming question, so I won't delve into it other than point out a flaw in the article. In the example he specifies a use case of logging without unwinding the stack. The premise sounds good except that at the point he logs he has no context for the exception. The most he can log is that there was an exception and maybe pass in some state information on a method overload. The exception object hasn't been created yet. I could be missing something. His original does the same thing -- there is no context to the exception.

Oh that's good. Based on the subject I thought Jason had come back.

I'm sure just like everything else it's going to become an anti-pattern. I love it though. Not in the, "I'm going to use it everywhere!" way though. Like every coding choice there should be a good reason when you apply it. In ways, it's one of my problems with async-await. It's great except how it creeps like a fungus where you don't want it. Not to get off topic.

I don't know if I want to click that link. :~

No vomiting with McDonald's. They make sure there's something to make it go through your system good and fast.

Not to burst your bubble, but you were officially old before that. Your old brain is just realizing the fact now.

I don't know. Not less capable, but I could see the confidence problem. Your mileage will vary.

I'm not really trying to argue the point, but XML allows schemas to enforce structure and validity.

I personally wouldn't trust Google Translate. I've found it wrong more times then not. It can be nice for getting context or enough of a translation to understand what is being said. I would never use it for anything official. Your mileage may vary.

People are offended way too easily. I don't think most of those cards should be within a child's grasp. As a Christian I'm not offended by the messages. I won't be buying them though.

That one quote is enough for me not to click through.

I'm not following the logic. They're saying they'll all be upgraded, so you'll get Windows 10?!?
