It seems to me that referring to the smaller entity gives more detailed information.

I would lay a wager now that it won't be the last time it will be asked, however. Big Grin | :-D

I agree with that but some of my Dublin friends refuse to acknowledge that Ireland is in the British Isles .

I am British, I live in the UK.

English is a language, not a nationality, and England, Scotland and Wales are only countries for some sporting purposes.

No you're not. At the risk of stepping on MM's toes, down here you are either a "pom", a "pommie bastard" or a "f**ken pommie bastard" depending on what kind of mood we're in.

Fair enough.

Don't remember having those options on the forms I fill out though.

Okay, I realize I'm late to the party with this realization, but still...

I've stuck with web forms and server side C# for years because it felt like a 'normal' development environment. Now I remember why. I'm in the land of mvc, javascript, jquery, etc., at which point I need to set breakpoints, inspect variables, you know, the things one would expect a development environment to allow.

And you can't set breakpoints or debug javascript in VS 2012. I had to install Firebug in order to get a debugger.

Are you freakin' kidding me?

If the Firefox / Firebug team can debug javascript, then it's clearly possible. So how is it that the VS team is so incompetent that they can't provide this most basic functionality in what's supposed to be a professional class development environment?

Please, for the love of Bob, would someone come up with a cross platform application designed to run global tcp/ip programs (i.e. a replacement for the crappy app VM known as a browser)? Web browsers, html, javascript et al comprise the most amateur hour environment I've ever seen. I had better tools coding for DOS.

We cannot tell you.

Everyone must find their own Way to Bob.

The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.

English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

One has to follow North, then West, until they see a couple of birds circling in perfect unmotion. That is the one true Way to Bob. And everybody should know it.
