None of the douche-bags I grew up with would know about Mycroft Holmes, so I had no worries.

Just realized I could be one of the douche, since I did not know Mycroft Holmes. I assumed it was OP's real name. Blush | :O
Interesting wikipedia read, it was.

The funny bit is that the OP's nom-de-CP is the name of a fictional character (a computer) who named himself after another fictional character (Sherlock Holmes' brother).

GeneralWhy MS (and me too) sucks todaymember d@nish 1 hr 13mins ago 
1. Here I am trying to build a rather simple web page only to realize that ReportViewer control and ajax do not like each other. Hell, found some workarounds that mess up JavaScript so had to get rid of ajax controls.
2. Found quite good jQuery calendar widget but downloaded some other zip file and spent 20 minutes wondering why it is not working. (Not really your fault MS.)
 
3. Finally, managed to get everything sorted. But no, VS had other evil plans. Clicked on Design view and now for past 10 minutes it's trying to do some postback! That's just odd. Taskbar shows "javascript: __doPostback(treeViewName,someTreeViewNode)"

Ugh. I'm trying to motivate myself to learn ASP.NET / MVC / Razor, and your post is not encouraging!

Well, sorry. But here's some more encouragement:
1. CSS sucks.
2. IE sucks.
3. ASP.Net's TreeView is probably worst thing that has happened to humanity. I miss that well behaved windows form treeview.

The back has taken about 28 hrs so far. To tell the truth, the actual process of getting tattooed is pretty boring. A lot of time just sitting in a chair.
 
It doesn't distract from the evil weed, but I can look at my ink and think that I would have inhaled that cash...
