I shot some people in Iraq but for the love of decency don't let me hear the F-bomb.

American puritanism...
You can watch Rambo movies (especially the last one) where Rambo is killing countless people in full gory detail; but there are beeps when characters use profanity.
Also when there is a semblance of nudity all hell break loose and a congressional hearing is called...
I'd rather be phishing!

To be fair, those congressional hearings are usually called when people use the occasion of a family event (such as the Super Bowl) to showcase their sub-par moral standards.
I've not seen Congressional hearings over a porno DVD showing nudity.
The outrage people feel during an obviously planned wardrobe malfunction is of the sort that some of these celebrities would express if they were to attend a Lady Gaga concert only to get a pudgy, middle aged preacher talking about Hell.

I am getting old - I had to look up what an F-bomb is.
I thought it might have something to do with farting

It's the blame mentality we have. McDonald's makes people fat and guns kill people. It's not like we're responsible for our actions, that's crazy talk.

I almost reached a reasonable stage for a WPF control I am working on...
(very intermittently though  it has been 4 months and only 16 commit... chronic health issue is under control it seems, so should be finished soon!  )
For the record it is a .. MenuRibbon (something that can act as both an horizontal menu and a ribbon at the same time, just missing keyboard handling now, before release v... 0.8?...)
It has a MahApp[^] look, works well with it!
I am planning to make it open source!
I was thinking to host it on CodePlex. Someone mentioned github to me today quite matter of factly....
I suspect it is because I am currently working in a Web development company, but CodePlex would be a better choice for WPF project I think...
Any thoughts / suggestion?
(on a side note I already have a CodePlex account, but I don't have a github one)
And no, not on CodeProject, can't be bothered to make a nice article! 
Maybe later?

From their website, I fail to see how the word "shine" can be used to describe a two dimensional monochromatic UI.

I would suggest GitHub. I find it a lot easier to poke around the code, see revisions, clone it, possibly fork it if I want to make contributions...

Uh oh. Does that mean yet another undocumented project will be joining the ranks of the millions already on CodePlex and GitHub?  (poke, prod, poke...)

Well said that like that it doesn't seems very convincing does it?!
But from home usage I really prefer Word 2013 to earlier version, ribbon, menu, window border, all fade in the background and leave their place the main content... Really like it.
My home app will have the same look!

MM... one should pay attention to March Clifton's programming advice!  So I will give it a closer look!

Ok, ok! ^_^ Mm... I might have a CodeProject article eventually!!! One steps at a time though! + not many project are google match for "Ribbon + Menu"

I host all my code on Github. I find it very easy to use. It was one of the first to implement DVCS (Distributed Version control), way ahead of the likes of CodePlex and SourceForge. It also has really useful features such as forking and submitting pull requests.

I use github for my personal open source code and git for all my personal and professional source control.
I would suggest getting something like git extensions to help manage your local repository.

It depends alot on whether you are a MS-only developer: Nobody outside MS circle know or heard about Codeplex. Having a Github project looks good on your resume especially when you apply for that non MS-tech related job.

I am happy enough sticking with .NET!
And while I (sadly) do Web dev at the moment!
I long for the day where I'll be back doing WPF / WinRT / MonoForms!

MM.... maybe that give me some ideas indeed.. gonna bookmark it! ^_^

Go with GitHub. It is definitely where the momentum is and even Microsoft is moving everything over to GitHub. I wouldn't say Codeplex is dead, but the momentum is definitely on GitHub.

Might do it.. fork and push request are, apparently, much easier to do, which would be a good thing!

Github is more popular, but CodePlex is more intuitive. When code is Linux/variant C-ish based, Github is good. For .Net C#, VB, etc., CodePlex.
To be honest, it doesn't really matter unless you are open sourcing something amazing. If it is just a utility, a niche site, etc...doesn't matter if you use a public repository.
For me, I only Github or Codeplex to show code examples for potential employers or customers.

Well I think I should at least create a GitHub account! ^_^
But I heard there is way to do external submission on GitHub, which is cool, gonna investigate that!
Well realistically might be that awesome!  but would be good for employers to have a look!

It looks like I'm in the minority, but I think CodePlex is easier to use.

Well I do like CodePlex!
Just been convinced to study GitHub more closely, so I will! We shall see!
