If you ever bring Kies to work, you can upgrade the android OS independently from the cell phone company layer. But this requires Kies to work, which I have never ever managed to do (Samsung S1, Samsung S3, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1).

The Word of the Day is Intransigence.
A Watch window in the Visual Studio debugger is showing "The runtime has refused to evaluate the expression at this time".
It's not saying it can't. It's saying it won't.
Maybe the Rise of the Machines doesn't start with a bang. Maybe it starts with lots and lots of petty little tantrums.

Warnings have been issuing such statements for a long time now ... if only we would let them turned on ! We won't have any excuse when Skynet wreaks havoc.

I guess the PC's are ageing quicker nowadays. A 1 year old pc is likely already in it's puberty while a five year old one is practically dead 
|
|
|
|

Well, well, my almost 5-year old PC is far from dead. I mean what happen to upgrade? A little more RAM, new video-card and some HDD and the PC turned from old-aged to modern usable PC, although it is not a gaming beast.

By the time they rise they may just show some human traits and suffer from moodiness every now and again.
So: "at this time" may not be a permanent condition.

This happens when you are not nice with your PC.
Take it out for dinner, buy it some nice flowers and give it a lot of chocolates.

Funnily enough I gave it a boot and it started working again.
The carrot or the stick? Hmmm.

and you call that treating it nice?  I usually do that after yelling at it and pounding on the keyboard.

Almost sounds like VS thinks it's married to you. To paraphrase:
My wife in the dining room is saying "I refuse to evaluate your need to buy another [insert current need] at this time".
I shall not say anymore on this, lest my lovely, sweet, dear wife is listening.

It's implied.
It's the same as when a parent says to a child, we'll see... or maybe later.

I don't think it's VS but .NET...
.NET was released into the wild in 2002, the same year as my eldest daughter was 'released'.
She is totally unpredictable and causes rage in all encounter her. This, I conclude, is not a coincidence.

My daughter is almost a year old. The speech recognition isn't working, and the voice synthesizer won't shut off.
Plus, I have to manually run garbage collection.

Ah, you're still on a Beta - wait until you get the full working version, you'l DREAM of going back to manual GC...

Doesn't matter. Once we've invested, management won't let me upgrade. 
|
|
|
|
|
Management spent a lot more work producing the product in 9 months than you have maintaining it in the year after release. It's understandable management feels proprietary about the model produced. And all you did is provide half the initial raw materials needed to build it. (Oops, that's an assumption, a good one I hope)
|
|
|
|
|
Well... I did most of the work in the design phase, although you can see mgmts contributions to the ux.
Plus, I get blamed for any bugs in the functionality which pop up from time to time.

If the bugs can be traced to your design input, that's totally reasonable. If it can clearly be traced back to management's input, then you clearly have to apologize for your mistake and ask for help in correcting the design. If you play it right, you might get management to help with GC too.
