   There are lots and lots of open source web applications out there. I like to read code to see how things are being done. Can you point to any web application out there, with source code available to read, that is built in the way that you

   Just a note, because I started in the same way you have, simply writing my own extension methods in a common dll. The Humanizer library has a bunch of these features, including the 6.minutes() functionality: https://github.com&#

   The point made in that book that stuck with me ever since I first read it is this (I think she was quoting someone else): The opposite of play is not work; it's depression. I think the key thing people do wrong through, is to take work

   Resharper probably isn't going to run on here. Resharper has definitely been a requirement in the past, but Jetbrains seems to be slow to embrace Rosylen, which is clearly the future on .NET. It's not at all clear to be how long

    There is a different between feeling sad and depression. Equating the two is a problem. You're absolutely right that depression is paralyzing. You are absolutely wrong that feeling sad is the same as being depressed.

    This is exactly the way I think about it too. it doesn't seem reasonable to assume vastly more complicated universal structure based on nothing more than our own existence.

    Doesn't MonoDevelop count then? http://monodevelop.com/ Or do you mean an application from Microsoft? Because I believe Microsoft has actually been using Mono (via Xamarin) to publish applications on iOS.

    You can also easily setup aliases, and there are many unixy aliases built in. For example 'ls', 'cat', other will work. I don't even know the commandlets they're aliasing.

    IE 11 is evergreen, I believe. It's auto-update. So hopefully in the future, IE 6 won't happen again, except for those enterprise customers who turn off the auto-update.
