After many years of missing out I have started frequenting a local Jazz club http://www.sultanjazzclub.com/[^] where they quite a few local talent as well as some international musicians. I notice the singers have a fantastic ability to sing gibberish, it sound fantastic but do they learn how to sing it, are they taught and is it part of the formal training for singers.
I believe opera singers also do it but call it some foreign language (usually Italian I think).

That "gibberish", as you call it, is mostly scatalogical.

The great Ella Fitzgerald often sang scat[^].

Thank you, now that was what I was talking about, my google search on scatology did not lead to the content I was looking for  .

Singing Gibberish is an innate talent; you have the biological endowment that, in interaction with the environment and your developmental experiences, expresses the genes for it, and enables its development; or, you don't.
But, since you have clearly demonstrated on CodeProject that you write Gibberish fluently, surely you can take comfort from that, and just hum along, even if off-key ?
Genetic scientists tell us we all have transposons (jumping genes) [^]: but, not all of us can be pole-vaulters.

I'm using HG at home to track my pet project's progress....
Today I deleted a folder and added more or less the same with NuGet
Then I try to commit.
I'm removing untracked file it can't delete for the last 15 minutes and it's not over yet
(common, who care you don't follow them I just want them gone, forget about them! don't tell me you can't forget because you didn't know...)
In other news VS2013 comes equipped with GIT out the box, maybe I should give it a try, seeing how I am upset with HG..

HG does that. I had a number of slowness issues with it, and Git seems to handle what HG couldn't.
All hail the great god Git VCS!

Not if you listen to this some of the rants here!
I have no opinion as we use TFS

was that link supposed to go to something besides a empty search ?

Yeah, it's got a bit of a learning curve, but when you're used to it it's great

It's much easier to shoot yourself in the foot with GIT than HG. The biggest difference HG makes it really hard to permanently delete anything from the repository; GIT assumes you really did want to blow everything away and just stands aside when you start dropping orbital nukes.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Mercurial[^]. Yet another distributed version control system (used primarily at BitBucket, but supported elsewhere). It's usually abbreviated Hg as in the atomic symbol for mercury.

ha! Of course, but note the title in my defense: "HG". Had I seen Hg, I would have made the connection.
thanks

After some (informal) testing of IE11 (on Win8.1) I was won over and set it as my default browser!
However I'm so used to click on the chrome browser icon I still do it.
And then, surprise, right after I set IE11 as the default, the new tab page on chrome, instead of showing the list of most used websites, now show bing search page!!
Worse, after looking at all the setting I can't find how to bring the most used page or delete the bing search! (even did a reset to factory settings!) .. grrrr... :<
Ho, and guess what? IE11 new tab show most used websites!

Microsoft is getting less creative. Even .NET Framework is a copy of JVM.

Ho, look, an Apple fan!
Originality is greatly overrated!
Further yes, C# was indeed caused by Java (most likely), but it's much better! Thanks Sun for giving us C# by preventing Microsoft from modifying Java!
