What you have not run across those of us that are trolls, sarcastic bastards or just plain rude yet? Oh wait CM seems to have weeded most of them out and muzzled the rest of us so yeah it is a pleasant place to hang out.

Ignoring trolls is a skill.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Trolling ignorers is a lot more difficult!

Is that like trolling fish???

No he has not. The OP needs to understand to wear his armor in the lounge. God knows I've learned. Even so, most of the "vitrole" is actually hilarious wit. Many of you are legendary.
Dear OP - yeah good group of poeple here, smart people. They will challenge you.

Epic is giving "The spectrum retreat" for free until next monday.
Looks like an interesting puzzle / thinking game.
One of the reviews:
Quote: Sure, it's no Portal, but I'm happy that I played it, despite the flaws.
The criticisms in the negative reviews are valid:
* the walking pace is slow
* there are some tedious repetitive elements
* the story is a bit formulaic
* the core puzzle mechanic starts to feel a bit monotonous
* some of the more interesting exploration puzzles are annoyingly spoon-fed to you
* there are some frustrating "soft locks" that force you to restart a puzzle
Some guys say it is between 6 and 10 hours to get through.
I am not sure I would buy it, but being free...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Glad to hear it. I was thinking I was alone and the industry had moved on from me.

I'm rewriting an winforms app I wrote several years ago in wpf. I've not been able to devote a lot of time to it though.

Tell me about it! In my 48 years of marriage I have remodeled 3 different homes, 2 in New Orleans and one in Charlotte, one of which I am living in as we speak. And I acted as the general contractor, using various subs to build oue "Dream" home, which I wish now that I had never left.
All of this, of course while working 40 to 50 hours a week trying to build my business, and raising a family. 
BTW: I got to meet Jimmy Page once. It was after Led Zepplin broke up. If you leave out the lead solo, I, like almost every other Guitar player of my era, can play "Stairway to Heaven". 
Never let your wife buy a house when you are not there to defend yourself.

Awesome, always really liked their stuff.
It's a good thing this house was structurally sound because the rest has been replaced, upgraded, taken to the dump or refinished (wood floors).

Only console apps!

Displaying my ignorance, I have no idea what one is, how to create one, or what it might be used for, in a commercial sense.

I have a console program (I refuse to call programs/applications "apps") that downloads spreadsheets from Sharepoint at night. No GUI. They are used to feed a desktop program that tracks/reports quotes. IMO, Office addins are not for the faint of heart.

What's the difference between a "console" program and a regular Desktop program? Is it more secure?
