Not unless a secret team of MI6 agents have sneaked in and rearranged everything to suit their hidden agenda. Even then, no  .

Submariner?
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

disturbed large fellow - igant (-> giant)
sea water - brine (salt water)
igant surrounded by brine:
ergo:
BRIGANTINE

Well done! 100% correct.
Your turn tomorrow

Aargh, that's great! I was toying with Brine, and I figured it was some kind of ship obviously. Couldn't make the leap to "Giant" though.

Funny, I had "Giant" immediately, but was struggling to get "Brine"

One can only think about what a stupid, "you will respect my authoritah" immigration officer would say to a long-winded correct answer on these topics.

I am OK with writing code on a piece of paper. What I am interested in is how they check if code is correct? If they are not testing it properly, I might as well get away writing a convoluted hello world.

I would rather want to turn the tables and ask a few questions about customs regulations, just to make sure that that guy is real and not some kind of imposter.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I know. I would have asked for a properly abstracted configuration provider in UML. Lazy.

Step one: Learn JavaScript, if not already familiar.
Step two: When asked about anything complicated, say you don't know because you only use JavaScript.
Step three: ...
Step four: Welcome to the US!

I've tried three times to install the full Enterprise package, and it just refuses to let me have Xamarin.
Not that I have any real need for Xamarin, but it's the principle of the thing.

I just got an invite to VS launch event from MS. Let me know if you would like to send a message.

Nah. They'd want details and stuff, and heck if I remember.
And since I could find no similar complaints anywhere on the internet, it's probably just something funky on my machine.

I wouldn't go that far. I will just install vista on every computer I find.

Pre-existing install? They did say RC-Live was ok, but maybe other Xamarin installs causes issues.
|
|
|
|

Honestly, I'd have to look. Was there any Xamarin stuff with VS2015?
If not, then this was a clean install of 2017. No RC or Preview or anything.

You're not so special, from what I have been seeing, VS2017 hates everybody.
I must say though , it is quite an engineering feat to create a software package that can individualize the errors and poor implementation for each user who attempts to install and use VS2017. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.
