Some reports say he died.
Others say he's at a hospital in Brazil.
The New Stateman's page for it is 404, as was another outlet I checked.

Wiki says yes. But you know take care, it is only one source: Noam Chomsky - Wikipedia[^]
What the hell, I'm really shure they showed the final date . Opening the link again, it disapeared ![Confused | :confused:](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/smiley_confused.gif)

I'm on the phone so I'm distracted - but I skimmed the wiki, and did not see it there.

No, it's not a joke, but I'm going to let the Lounge come up with posts at joke level...
Question 1: wife or hubby has to go off to work. At what point do you hit the shower?
Question 2: in your family cell phone plan - can you track the location of SWMBO so you can clean up before it happens?
Question 3... oh crap, she's on her way to the car....
I'm expecting your best efforts I expect this to show up in the next letter... let's go.
I might spin this into a survey.. or something, and send someone their selected beverage or item of choice. Raman is cheap to ship.

Well, go and f*** yourself.
And to his mate who thought this must be default and non-changeable via an option, you can go to.
I know, it is not the first time I rant about this, but oh God does this cost me time.

Can you not OpenOffice or something?
I want to cackle like a madman watching the pendulum swing back towards "uhhh, this stuff sucks and native apps will always be better".

I am very open to alternatives, but in this very case it is at my workplace AND I reckon I enjoy the MSOffice suite.
Sharepoint is a big POS however.

Their thinking seems to be led by 'be better than Google at the online office suite'. Just look at the current 'New Outlook', it is an online interface in a native app . I guess they think that is where the majority will end up, online, with less and less users of the native apps
BTW, if you can't open an office doc in the native app from within SharePoint then I think that that's an admin setting, not an MS imposed limitation. From the ellipsis (...) menu, the Open item should give you three options, Open in browser, Open in app, Open in immersive reader.

Oh MY YES!!!
On a Mac it is hideous and flips to that abomination after every software update too.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I have a marketing company and I don't even understand what Microsoft is hoping to achieve (in the long term) with these changes. It's very ham-fisted.

I just found this:
if ( ( _recStatus.OnlineState() == ONLINE ) || (_falseOnline == true) ) in some code. I didn't write it.
What. The. .
... and yes, I know about The Weird and The Wonderful[^], which this is neither. This is motivation for homicide.

Ah, they miss the && (_trueOnline != false).
Or did you mean something else ?

I need to borrow your CP account name for a while. I promise to give it right back, as soon as I'm finished.

Maybe the author wanted to write:
if ( ( _recStatus.OnlineState() == ONLINE ) || (_pretendOnline == true) ) ...just a thought.
However I have little patience for underscores at the beginning of variable names. Everyone should have got the memo that they are reserved for compiler use since 2003. Seems even Microsoft has heard about that.

My thoughts were more along the line of simulateOnline but everyone knows naming is the most difficult part of programming

Mircea Neacsu wrote: I have little patience for underscores at the beginning of variable names We use this for private and protected values. It's been part of our naming convention since the late 1990's, predating the compiler reservation. FWIW, we have never had a conflict in all that time over several code bases that run to millions of lines.

I've never had to work with such large code bases and I certainly respect your internal conventions. However, a little devil inside me thinks that a tool converting _variable to variable_ shouldn't be all that bad

Mircea Neacsu wrote: a tool converting _variable to variable_ shouldn't be all that bad Unfortunately a majority of our code base is C++, and Visual Studio support for refactoring it is still error-prone even in VS2022. They still exceed the scope when renaming values.

If I ever make any global edits to my code, I use regular expressions to do so. Now would be a good time to save a backup. Then run the editing script. I learned that the hard way. The editing script almost always changes things that you don't intend to edit. I've encountered catastrophes doing this. I've written 25,000 lines of JavaScript code on a single web page. With that much code, any attempt at a global edit would likely result in a disaster.
