Who would get more excited when you receive a software engineering book at home rather than a hooker inside a cake?

I would. Because if I can get the regular expression find/replace thing working properly, I can put it in a macro and use it again.
For example: I have a macro that uses two regex find/replace operations to line up the columns in resource.h for my native Win32 apps. Visual Studio screws up the columns if your resource ID's have long names, and I've got some that are 70 characters or more.

Yeah I'm down with that .. I'd spend the 30 minutes doing that (but only if I could spend the 30 seconds posting on here to show you how clever I am) 
The only thing unpredictable about me is just how predictable I'm going to be.

Often, investing the time to automate something up front instead of doing it manually in less time makes sense because of managers. How many times have you been asked to do something 5 times, done it manually, and then had your boss come back and ask for 60 more? It's even worse when managers keep coming back for 5 more at a time because then you can't tell when they're going to stop and whether it is still optimal to write a script for the task.

View is (barely) acceptable, not most peoples 4 letter word for Vista, though.

Hmm...When DD replied it, I tried to find out the what smeg means but it didn't find the meaning of it in dictionary (due to vulgar and offensive word check mark was off), So I tried to solve the CC but didn't it know it was sarcastic CC.

You need to watch Red Dwarf to find out what smeg means and the appropriate context to use it in

It's getting there rapidly if people don't start taking their heads out of their rear ends and thinking for themselves before they post.

Sorry if I've offended your delicate sensibilities. 
Actually it's not aimed at you specifically at all.
I'm just tired of the whole "vista is crap" meme that was barely justifiable before sp1 and now is pretty hard to justify in the face of reality. I just find a lot of people were repeating what they heard someone else say and not trying it for themselves personally and of those that did few of them bothered to learn anything about it or it's requirements or the actually truly good, new and useful features built into it.
They rambled on mindlessly about how it's a memory hog etc etc and this coming from a bunch of programmers who are supposed to be bright intelligent people who take the time to learn things and inform themselves was all getting just a little too much for me to take.
I can get mindless rambling on slashdot any time I care to defile my browser by going there.

Not at all... was just feigning offence!!
Personally, I don't like Vista. I can see no justifiable reason for upgrading (?) to it. XP Pro does all the stuff that the average business user requires, therefore may as well stick with that until Windows 7 comes out (and assuming it's better, run with that).
I remember going to the MS Roadshow when Vista was still pre-release and seeing some awesome new features that really had the "wow" factor, but were they necessary for business? No. Were they kinda cool? Yes. Does this justify upgrading? No.
And since support for XP is continuing until 2013 (I think that was it, but couldn't be bothered checking), I really can't justify migrating to Vista. Matter of fact, none of my business clients have moved to Vista, and these include both government and private sector clients, small and large businesses. Since I've gone this long without it, I might as well stay with XP until Windows 7!!
