I was personally rather disappointed at the lack of cricket discussion there during the England India series.

Yeah partly my fault, my current domestic situation means I haven't watched much cricket and wasn't really following it. I think the first test I only checked the result when the second test started.
You should have roasted me and tagged me in a post to get the discussion started.

The Indian forum was requested because we had many new Indian users who joined and weren't aware of the etiquette of the lounge. Unfortunately they tended to get a lot of abuse. Having a separate forum helped introduce them to the expected behaviour of the site without them being attacked. This is a good thing.

Most Indian posts I've seen start with "Dear sirs," that's certainly not the kind of etiquette you'll see in the lounge!

Here's how I see it typically pan out.
Lounge-Indian : Dear sirs, could someone revert back to me and do the needful regarding this 101-level C# programming task that I am being paid for in my day job?
Lounge-Brit : (makes sarcastic response punning on arbitrary words from above response)
Lounge-American : F you, you took our jobs.
Lounge-Indian : How can you say that to me? How can you slap?
Lounge-Brit : (makes another joke only other Brits would find remotely funny about the American, hinting at his being a Trump supporter)
Lounge-American : F you (to the Brit), you all have horrible teeth.
Lounge-Indian : (resigns and decides to post in the GIT regarding Prime Minister's Modi's demonetization scheme)
Such a lovely place

With analysis skills like that, you should be promoted to senior architect.

Most interestingly, today its main purpose is for people who moved from India to other countries to stay in touch with the happenings there. The active participants are all non-Indian citizens/residents.

Sounds as good a reason for the forum as any.

I just reset my PC to factory - AGAIN!
I've never done a Ghost image before. I want to ghost my Windows 7 PC and I'm considering using AOMEI Backupper.
1) What does a ghost image really do for me? Can I use it to restore a PC after all my apps are installed?
2) Any reason not to use AOMEI Backupper?

Quote: I've never done a Ghost image before
You will love it, once you get the hang of it.  Quote: Can I use it to restore a PC after all my apps are installed?
Image utilities like Macrium's Reflect or AOMEI can create image snapshots of an entire disk partition, or collection of partitions. This will normally include the entire operating system and all applications in the relevant partition(s). When you re-image the systems drive, absolutely everything reverts back to what it was when the image was taken.
In case of a virus attack, or if I need to restore the machine for any reason, it takes me less than 10 minutes to install a previous image.
I take a new image every time there is a significant change, like a new Windows update, or any changes in installed apps. I prefer Macrium's Reflect - the free version, but Griff likes AOMEI. See the thread about Windows 10 backups below.

I have been using norton ghost since windows 2000 until windows 7. I love it and would continue using it... problem is... he can't manage the new laptops, that's why I started the thread below.
The ghost image will restore giving you the shortcuts in "recent files" and even the "bin" will have the same content as when you did the image.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

When you create an image, it's a snapshot of the whole disk - and you generally create a "boot disk" or "boot USB" at the same time. When your disk needs to be restored, you boot from the disk or USB (which loads a minimal OS, often Windows PE[^] based and includes the restore software).
The restoration overwrites the entire disk with the saved image and puts your whole system back where it was before the problem occurred. Anything you had installed when the image was created is restored, as is all your data.
I take a full image at least monthly, and incrementals at least weekly after that: my 2 * 1TB drives (122.7GB + 235.8GB used) come in about 230GB, with incrementals at 20GB or so. (And I do hourly incremental copies of my projects to my NAS as well, but it's not really paranoia honest - disks really are out to get you!)
As Cornelius says, I like AOMEI it just works - and I'm not being paid to say that (hint, hint, AOMEI)
Their Partition Assistant is damn good as well!

You convinced me last year Griff and I now have the paid version as I feel they deserve a return for their efforts.

I personally prefer virtual machines with snapshots taken when everything is working.
I never install anything on the host OS, so it lasts forever.
I haven't got enough patience to make images and restore them when things go sideways. Also, images interfere with my OCD because it takes forever to get all the settings just so. OTOH most of what I do is Linux so I can't say anything about how Visual Studio et al perform on VMs.

Acronis is good, though not free, as it can be used to restore to different hardware as in the case of hardware failure.

All I know is Visual Studio 2015, Winforms, and C#, but I want to try and make an advanced web page.
Should I stick with Visual Studio 2015 or learn Visual Studio Code?
Or is there a better third option that does not use Angular 2?
Thanks

If you need a happy life, use Visual Studio 2015 Community edition, if you need to learn stuff only, and don't really need to work on a project to the end, consider Visual Studio Code.
Angular 2 or any other JavaScript library; jQuery, Knockout etc., are all your own personal flavors and interests. If you need any, use them, if you do not want any, leave them. I have never programmed using Angular 2, but I used Visual Studio itself; not the Code, the real one. Leave the Angular or Bootstrap, or jQuery etc there for the basic template to work, and then write your own code on top of it, and the code that you find useful.
I personally use vanilla JavaScript for my own projects and do not ever want to consider other frameworks. So, don't worry, just use the IDE you love; Visual Studio, right?

There are so many different ways to create an application it makes my head spin.
I downloaded Visual Studio 2015 Community yesterday. I'll probably uninstall it and install VS 2017. But not sure yet.
Thanks

If the purpose is learning only, Visual Studio 2017 will be a good start as its installation process is really neat and easy and straightforward.
Good luck.

You may want to consider Visual Studio 2017 Community RC. I love it! It's less bloated than VS2015. Just install the modules you need.

I'm really just looking for the least complicated way to create a complicated web application. Angular 2 and Typescript looked promising.
Thanks

If you're going down the Angular 2 route, use WebStorm by JetBrains. Visual Studio isn't great with Angular 2 projects.
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.
