Visual Studio 2008/2010 for C# stuff, vim for everything else. TextPad is my general-purpose text manipulation tool. along with the Win32 ports of the *nix toolchain.

Do they have a C# mode yet, or is that still p[r]etty impossible to do?

Great analysis. I will note that however much money MS lost or made on the deal, the value of maintaining a customer platform (for Office) and keeping a competitor alive (at a time when the antitrust thing loomed) was probably priceless. Ma

Yes, but I believe there's a "feature" that allows your friends to share your photos and other content without your permission. This is separate from the "feature" that was just helpfully introduced that allows other websites to identify yo

Put the screen on the other side of the keyboard and I might go for it. I cram my neck the other way. That's where my 2nd monitor is.

The argument du jour is that every software patent is dangerous and useless, and every patent holder a potential troll. Surely it cannot be "safer" to infringe on Oracle's patents than on Microsoft's, yet at least Microsoft has gone to the

Interesting how that was never a problem with Java. For years the only outcry against it came from Stallman babbling on about how it was a "trap". It wasn't even an ECMA standard like C#. Yet it was no more free of patent threats or corpora

This seems to be directed at the gaggle of ideological extremists that have hounded and insulted de Icaza for years because he dared suggest that Microsoft had a pretty good idea with .NET and C#. Sadly though, it's precisely those people w

Every day I am more convinced that the enemies of FOSS are the borderline morons that descend on articles like that one to "tell it like it is" with "M$ IS TEH DEVILZ LOLZ" prose that only makes everyone else shake their heads in disgust or

I don't know why this is voted down, it's a valid concern. VS2005 had a ton of performance problems as well, which were fixed in VS2008. That, regardless of the speed of the machine you happened to be running it in. It was, for lack of a be

They haven't had time to fossilize. Give them a few years. All corporations expand to the point where they require cover sheets on TPS reports. That's inevitable.

Steve Jobs doesn't want you to follow an ideology. He wants you to buy his products. Don't confuse the two things.

I can't help but wonder if this thing is related to Amazon's wild success with the Kindle. Jobs never saw a consumer market he didn't like. Certainly if I was given the option to go with the Kindle or an iPad, my choice would be clear - I w
