Indeed. MS just lowered W10 from the PUP to the Malware level.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Today's lesson is all about saving frequently as you go.
Tough lesson if want to learn by practical demonstration rather than theory

I found a workaround.
If I hit the Cancel button on the Save Dialog, it should ask me the next day, and keep badgering me until I finally save my cpp file.
By jove, I think I've got it now....

Have you ever considered hitting the "OK" button on the Save window*
That works for many of us.
* it's not a dialog

What version of VS is this? Mine autosaves every time I start debugging...for the most part, that setting is optimal...or did you code nonstop for 6 hours without debugging?

Or even compiling - my system saves every time I press CTRL+SHIFT+B
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Are you sure you typed the title of the message correct !!!
I mean six hours.. Where 1 hour means 60 minutes ! And you went on coding without saving or even running (Ctrl + F5) or debugging (F5) even once.. !
Unbelievable !
Thanks,

So you know how to write code in Visual Studio but you have never learned the basics of a Dialog Box?

Very interesting, but nothing to do with your problem.

My fellow Americans,
In your experience what websites have good deals on fireworks?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Funny! I used to use it (the Macromedia version) frequently but it didn't make the cut on the last development rigs...mostly due to the fact that it doesn't play nice with Aero. I'm trying Gimp to replace it...so far, so good, but I haven't done much with it (gimp) yet.

Gimp is pretty powerful, and I like it. There is also Gimpshop | The Photoshop Free Alternative[^], and a photoshop layout from PortableApps.com[^]
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Buy anything from oracle for me and you'll see my fireworks go off from the US

I wonder what that would sound like in space.

That's interesting ! I really like Between Music's "Bones of Bruised Houses:" [^].

Oh, and Micronesia. At least according to Wikipedia.
So why does pretty much every US based service that caters to a worldwide audience use mm/dd/yyyy as a date format
Latest example this hour is VS team services "Access issues with Visual Studio Team Services – 5/25 – Investigating". 5/25 = 25 May. That's easy. But when I see 6/7 or 10/8 I have to manually check the site and see what culture they are based in.
No one in the US (I'm guessing - apart from ex-pats) worry about this. Or are probably even aware of this issue. Everyone else in every other country is aware of this issue. Everyone in Canada manages to deal with it. And I don't know how their brains don't explode.
Canada uses dd/mm/yyyy. Except when it uses mm/dd/yyyy because either it's a US based company, they are using a US based system, they are trying to be nice to their US based customers, because they just forgot to use dd/mm/yyyy or because they know it's me and so they deliberately use an ambiguous date format to do my head in. Date formats in Canada are totally and completely messed up.
So: Why, in this day and age, do those in the US, when writing for an international audience, still use mm/dd/yyyy?
(And I'll add another one: Why do companies in the US find it impossible to ship outside the US? It's very odd)
OK, back to hitting refresh several times a second waiting for Team Services to come back online.
cheers
