And we all know that there's never a bug in code which compiles without warnings, ever.

There's only one warning I haven't been able to resolve in my life...
In VB.NET I had to overwrite a function, so I needed to use Shadows or whatever. It wasn't really allowed because the base class wasn't set up that way. It was a third party library and this was their solution for my problem, so what could I do? In the end I simply edited some config and the warning went away. I believe I looked at C# too, which DID allow it... I still have trouble sleeping at night!

Except the warnings generally issued to never allow a Java plug-in (or Flash) to run in your browser, of course.

Last spring, the idea of 'Windows 365' popped up several times and the logic behind it was that Microsoft would soon offer a subscription based Windows service. "Each and every day of the year"

What about leap years? Is it going to be available on day 366? When I think about it, marketing could make use of it: "Subscribe to Windows 365 today and get one day for free every leap year." Not too far fetched from most of their ideas nowadays.

Let say we use a specific version of Windows for 5 years. It cost about $120 to purchase and some times it even cheaper with upgrade price...
Add to that that most people buy OS with the computer where the $15 price (doubled of course) is part of the final payment (yes Microsoft charge $15 or less for OEM)...
So. How much Microsoft will ask for a yearly submission?
I sounds me like the deal of socks I saw a few weeks before - 1 for $2 5 for $12...

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away there was a widely used MFC library which had a few classes with methods that compared "this" pointer to null. It's always the ones you don't check that are pointing at null

I really do not regret leaving C++ for C#. In my youth, it was a great relationship, lots of unsafe pointers, the occasional multiple inheritance fling, and the perhaps experimentation with various objects as we cast about for our identity...
But nowadays, I have come to appreciate the finer points of a more mature relationship, one that is (ironically) free of the garbage collecting from the past, providing a more functional (and less hormonally imperative) foundation on which to build a lasting, monogamous, union.

While I remember those days, C++ has actually improved in many ways, unfortunately growing in complexity. Nowadays, resource management is amongst the best of any language if you choose to use it. And of course references have always been there to avoid many of the causes of pointer errors (you have to subvert the type system to get a null reference, something C# could learn from).
I gladly use C++ in my own projects, but for the day job I'm glad to use C#. I'm less concerned with wringing the best performance there, quite appropriately as its mostly CRUD-style operations with a bit of business logic and MVVM. In my spare time I write stuff like parser generators, which really benefit from the explicit resource management available in C++.

Google’s hiring chief says he doesn’t give much credit to college degrees in the hiring process. So it should come as no surprise that other Google executives also regard staples of traditional business school training at the nation’s elite colleges as downright “stupid.” "We went overboard on management and forgot about leadership."

Step by step, Microsoft is working to make its hybrid cloud offerings more attractive. With a new set of “how-to” documentation, it intends to inspire more application development and experimentation with different IT workloads. So, you weren't testing before? Is that what you're trying to tell us?

Microsoft is working on a new application designed to help users perform Office-related tasks on Windows Phone. Is this related to Bill Gates' 'Personal Agent' project? It looks like you're trying a dumb idea (again). Would you like help with that?

An incredible bonus of Utah's having the new super-secret NSA computer facility is that attacks on the State government's computer systems have escalated to up to "300 million per day: [^].
This will surely provide more employment for programmers.

First of all, many many congratulations to you Bill for being a CodeProject MVP this year. May you be awarded for such great contributions again.
Secondly, how would this even provide more employments for programmers? Just a group of programmers you can say would be recruited to fix the problem at all, you can even say that the best group of expert programmers would be taken seriously.
300 million attacks, is it a timer object running every single second (which would still not make it, it would be executed at every single tick on CPU to meet this level). Anyhow, hopefully these attacks go away.

Jetpacks, flying cars and a low-gravity moonbase retirement home. So where are they? So many dreams unfulfilled ...and so many reality shows. It's enough to make one say "Bah! Humbug!".
