Apparently, yes.[^]
And now you see the genius of Microsoft's Marketing Department (but who still remain a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes).

Aww, give them a LITTLE credit... They're not quite as bad as Sirius Cybernetics.

Thought that was Cyberdyne...

Cyberdyne Systems = Creators of Skynet from the Terminator series
Sirius Cybernetics = Creators of annoying robots from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 
...the Marketing Division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as, "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with!" The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the Marketing Division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes", with a footnote stating that the position of Robotics Correspondent is vacant. It is notable that a future edition of The Encyclopedia Galactica fell through a wormhole in time, and its entry for the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation is "a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came."

Thank goodness I had my towel when I read that, otherwise I would have spewed coffee on my office mates.

You've really got to know here your towel is. No fooling.

I'm also strongly considering changing the title of all my error dialogs to DON'T PANIC.
|

|

Just PANIC will do. Probably more effective, also

Yea ... I probably should stop using that animation of a nuke on the dialogs uh?

This morning VS 2010 did not stop on a break point, but the code executed. Has anyone else experienced this?
On a positive note, I was debugging a new application with a couple consultants and we tried to view the value of an object not in memory. I clicked the reverse arrow and VS reloaded the object into memory. The three of us all had this ridiculous grin on our respective faces. It was the first time any of us had ever been able to debug in reverse.
I didn't get any requirements for the signature

Does it keep a history in cache or something?

I don't know. We were using an API to save an item in an application. We had a break point set to check the value being set and it never stopped. Then we viewed the ticket on the projector and the value appeared on the screen in the application. There were two other developers in the room and we were like "WTF". So I tried it two more times and the break point was never hit. But the value was set. It was strange.

Have you tried disabling the automatically jump over properties 'thing'?
It's a very wild guess, and I'm obviously assuming you're breakpoint is actually in a property, but it might be worth a try.

I occasionally (but rarely) experience this in VS2008. I usually have to delete all breakpoints, but failing that, doing a full rebuild always fixes the problem.

The only time I've seen this happen it turned out I was in release mode not debug; or something up the calling chain had a debugger ignore attribute.

2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

That is probably IntelliTrace. I'm excited to give that a try myself.

No, but I did see a bug reported on MS Connect.

Is PrtScn yet another "feature" that's partially broken in Vista? Or is it an issue with my nVidia (Quadro FX 570) video drivers?
At some point PrtScn just stops working and I can't seem to capture an image anymore.
I FREAKING HATE VISTA AAAARRRRGGGGGGGG (assuming it's an issue with Vista

My keyboard has an F-Lock key that must be off in order for the PrtScn key to work.

Yeah, what's with that crap? Function keys are all of a sudden becoming second citizens to media player controls and shortcut keys to whatever those unrecognizable icons point to.
Pretty soon even the letters will disappear, replaced with icons for "OMG!" "LOL" and "FU". About all we need to communicate, right?
We should figure out what a "programmer's" keyboard should look like. Here's[^] some amusing results. And then there's this.[^]

Were you in receiving when the new upgrades arrived? How did you know what they ordered for us?
