I've made the switch to Opera (from Chrome) and it works quite well.

My lynx browser won't work well, due to there being pictures. SeaMonkey is set to only load pictures from the local server.
..really, do I need a fourth browser? Whatsup with all them standards you webpeople been braggin' about? I don't need four Windows-versions to run a winform-app, do I?

I'm not sure I'd want to be on the list. Can you imagine all the whiney requests from friends, family, coworkers, acquaitances, pan handlers,...., to 'fix' their computers?

I'll gladly test it on my VAX and Alpha systems.
However, you're better off trying to create a new language and cross-platform compiler/IDE.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I'll send it over. It's been ready to run on those systems for years.

The Best Programmers list is very strange. There are some really bests from elder good time, some kids, some managers and no one from OO revolution.

I agree. It's missing a lot of people. And you are exactly right on missing people from the OO revolution.

When I drop over from SQL to C# I usually type something like this:
if (_applied <> 0)
{
}
I am usually capable of keeping the swearing under my breath.

I do that all the time... Back in the early 00's when I was maintaining old VB6 systems, that worked

So, use != in SQL as well - I do!
The only DB I know of that doesn't accept it is Access 2010 - and I try to avoid using that as much as possible anyway!

I usually do the following in SQL:
IF @SomeBoolVar
BEGIN
END The worst part is I usually can't find why it won't run because this stuff is so obvious 
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}
|
|
|
|
|
For me it's the quotes and apostrophes. 
(I use != for both languages.)

Why?
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

It's funny reading this. I'm here because I'm taking a moment break after figuring out the classic asp script wouldn't compile because I had a semicolon in there

 Glad to see I'm not the only one still maintaining good old classic asp!

Yeah, all of our new stuff is in MVC. However, anything we haven't upated yet still gets a new feature now and again.

I guess you haven't tried != yet in SQL, to see if it works

I've managed to avoid SQL so far, so I don't have that problem.
|
|
|
|

This one's usually okay for me because SQL is so different from the coding language, plus you know if you're in a database or application programming context. It's switching between coding languages which are closely related (C#, Java, ActionScript, JavaScript) that leads to me doing dumb stuff like that.
