Buying decisions of the public are not based on the products and their merits; there's good reason to buy assets, and that's what Microsoft is.
You're basically equating price with value. Here @CP we might see clearly where MS is heading, but for the average Joe it still is a 'safe bet'.

Well, actually, I'm equating Microsoft's stock price with whether I've entered an alternate universe, but I see your point.

My favorite isn't in the list. 
It started with a warning that water has been detected in the hard drive. Then it announced that it was going to spin dry the disk. A series of clicks through the onboard speaker made a noise like a washing machine spinning up, held for a few seconds, then slowed to a stop. Finally it announced that the spin cycle was complete, and the water was gone, problem solved.

I'd forgotten that one!

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.

I got the "Your PC is Stoned" virus on April 20th back in the day. At least it was non destructive.

I'm editing some CSS and have
.content-item {
-webkit-transition: all linear 0.1s;
-moz-transition: all linear 0.1s;
-o-transition: all linear 0.1s;
transition: all linear 0.1s;
}
I wanted to change "all" to "opacity" so started editing the last (standard CSS) item. As I was editing the other entries for the browser specific versions were automatically updated:
.research .content-item {
-webkit-transition: opacity linear 0.1s;
-moz-transition: opacity linear 0.1s;
-o-transition: opacity linear 0.1s;
transition: opacity linear 0.1s;
}
That's so cool.

My favorite so far has been updating the closing tag whenever you update the start tag. Also, I thought you were using LESS. Shouldn't you be using a mix-in to generate all the different browser prefixes?
|
|
|
|
|
Yep - got a mixin for this but was mucking around with the CSS directly for some faster testing.
Probably why I've not actually seen this feature before today!

Is that a VS feature? I thought it was part of Mads Kristensen's Web Essentials[^] extension.

Mads Kristensen is a Program Manager on the Web Platforms & Tools team for VS.
Web Essentials is their testing platform. When the features graduate they become a part of VS.

I'm aware of that, but I didn't think this particular feature had graduated yet.

So, around about an hour ago I took my phone of charge. It rang and found myself talking to an agent *ptewee* about a job *woohoo*. An hour later, I get off the phone and it needs charging again.
Oh, I also have three voice mails from more agencies. Nothing for weeks then four at once.

Just like London buses. I had a similar experience earlier this year.
Hope yours work out ok.

So is this post about your job hunting OR your phone charging exploits OR both.
Get those interviews lined up, the O&G sector is a tad busy, the recruiters are on my case every other day and I'm not looking! (although if someone dropped a nice overseas expat relocation on the table I'm sure I would consider  )
Battery life, is it an iBatteryGoesFlat phone?

What's everybody listening to while you mindlessly crank out code??
Overhead, the albatross hangs motionless upon the air,
and deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves,
the echo of a distant time comes willowing acrossed the sand,
and everything is green and summery.
