Mary Jo Foley is reporting that Microsoft could be getting ready to replace its Surface branding—currently used on a PC tablet lineup—with the Lumia branding that originated with Nokia's smart phone business. "What's in a name?"

A name by any other name is still a name.

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

IF you call a turd and rose it doesn't magically start to smell like a flower.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

At Google I/O, the company urged developers to rethink Web pages in a componentized, composable programming model So we're back to ActiveX again, are we?

So.. Are they going to resurrect Silverlight? With Native code?!

Mozilla releases prototype versions of the Firefox browser that work with Oculus Rift and any other VR headsets. Google shows a nibble of interest for Chrome, too. "Cyberspace.

You leave math out of it.

The .NET Framework was good. Really good. Until it wasn't. Why did I leave .NET? In short, it constrained our ability to choose (which is a huge deal for me) and turned our focus inward toward the perceived safety of the nest instead of the helping us experiencing all of the possibilities out there in the big, wide world.

"Not having a debugger is actually a liberating experience because it forces you to code in a different way."
Yes. Having spent so many years with (at most) the command-line OpenVMS debugger, I agree that too much reliance on a debugger can be a bad habit. Learn to do more with less.
"VS also has this really nasty habit of creating "csproj" and "sln" files. I hate those things."
Testify, brother! We didn't have those things in Turbo Pascal, we don't need them now.
"I could have probably coded C# using a simple text editor"
Which is what I do unless I need a designer.
"It's so incredibly easy to interact with SQL Server from within Visual Studio"
I never do that.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I read a first person who complains on VS, The best IDE exists so far.Perhaps he might try one of those IDE available online online compiler console[^]
Wait, he left why would I care!

Is it a joke? Is he on drug?

The title is just click-bait. Trolls be trolling.

Let's wait and see how long it takes for him to return to the .Net world...

He doesn't mention what type of programming he is doing. .NET may not be the best framework. It depends on what you're doing
|
|
|
|
|
That's a whole different argument here!
Though he does mention Linux on his blog, me think...

I have an instance of both VS2012 and 2013 open and together they're ALMOST taking up as much memory as Firefox. The response and startup times since VS2010 has vastly improved as well.
But hey, I'm one of those guys who use an IDE because developing is more than just typing out text in a no-frills editor. After all, the 'E' stands for 'Environment' not 'Editor'

It has long been assumed that the extinct humans were purely carnivorous and that the dietary differences from anatomically modern humans might have been responsible for their demise. But new evidence suggests that as well as enjoying a high meat intake, Neanderthals also had a significant plant element as part of their diets. ...and now they're extinct

The goals of this project are simple: Create a highly configurable, easily modifiable source code beautifier. "Beauty would save the world."
|

All you need is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespeare_%28programming_language%29[^].
And beauty shall follow as the night follows day.
P.S. I decided to download the code and see whether or not I could compile it with [HP C++ V7.3-009 for OpenVMS Alpha V8.3]
I didn't really hold out much hope, as I've never been able to successfully compile open source code on OpenVMS
So far, I have found that I have to rename config.h and add #define HAVE_INTTYPES_H 1, but I still get:
void log_fmt(log_sev_t sev, const char *fmt, ...) __attribute__((format(printf, 2, 3)));
..................................................^
expected a "{"
at line number 96 in file MY$ROOT:[UNCRUSTIFY.SRC]LOGGER.H;1
Which appears to be a GNU thing: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html[^]
