OT, but, I wonder when the Trap get knocked off the top spot?

Can confirm. One of my first programming jobs was with a company doing a lot of .NET work. They had the gold-tier support, or whatever it's called, but we never managed to get anything useful out of it.

In my experience, installing gnome-shell (or ubuntu-gnome-desktop) over a working Ubuntu installation can be dicey. For example, If you install both side-by-side the Unity theme can get a bit screwy, and the desktop-background just renders

It's exactly the same in Gnome. In fact, Gnome is better in that you can activate an extension which will change the behaviour of alt-tab so that it cycles through all windows.

You can still get Pebble 2's on Amazon, and they work perfectly (including the online services, app-store, etc). Maybe the new Fitbit/Pebble Chimera will release something as good as the Pebble some day.

They probably mean all the `using` macros, which can obscure where functions are coming from, and make it hard to get a grip on which functions are available in a given scope. Having said that, Phoenix is nowhere near as 'magical'

The official one, I think it was in .NET 3, but it was a few years ago at an old job, so I'm a bit hazy on the details. Basically we had a bug where a whole conditional branch was being skipped, and we traced it down to the branch bein

I've only seen level 5 personally, with a C# compiler bug that would omit totally valid `else` branches.

Nah, they're really good I find, maybe not as good as the apple glass trackpad, but certainly not bad. Plus, they have the awesome physical buttons along the top, combined with the trackpoint.

I wonder how many different Auth systems Microsoft has created/subsumed/whatever over the years. It'd be cool too see a graphic of all those services and how they have merged, or in what way they are layered currently.
