So there has been this thug called Cal going around breaking into people’s houses near me for months, but the police couldn’t catch him. The weirdest thing about it all he was breaking into people’s house’s just to ruin their washing machines by putting bricks into them and turning them on. Very strange if you ask me. Anyway, I’ve just read he’s died. It’s never nice hearing of people’s deaths, but look on the bright side...
Washing machines live longer with Cal gone

Are you sure they all weren't Samsung washers just blowing up on their own?

To a washing machine repairman, that's not weird, that's brilliant.

To those that install the update, I see they added more features [again],
but did they fix any old the older broken ones?

I do love an optimist!

I'm still waiting for a problem in VS2005 to get fixed: If you create an abstract control, you can't use the designer on concrete derived controls unless you create a concrete intermediary class.
I.e. this gives a designer error:

public abstract class MyBase : UserControl {...}
public class MyDerived: MyBase {...}

But this doesn't:

public abstract class MyBase : UserControl {...}
public class MyConcrete: MyBase {}
public class MyDerived: MyConcrete {...}

Which kinda kicks the whole advantage of the abstract base class right into the bin, or forces you to have different code for release and development - which is an anathema.

Hmmm, I think you could be waiting for quite a while as support for 2005 ended in 2016.

That's OK - it's still there in 2008, and 2010, and 2013, and 2015, and 2017. So I'm not betting on a fix any time soon...

Well, we can't complain about a lack of consistency, then. Smile | :)

Experience does rather suggest that a 13 year-old bug is never, ever going to be fixed. It's a teenager now and nobody can talk any sense to it.

That would explain when VS went to the Dark Side: it just hit puberty and painted its UI black.
