When will somebody release an app that enables me to set off a self-destruct countdown with a Star Trek style verbal code? The phone could make all the same countdown noises as the show, then switch off.

I used that for the shutdown event sound on one of my computers. Damned if I know where that WAV file is now.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Back in the day, I programmed an engine overload using the QBasic sound API in windows 3.11.
Left it runing one day to see how high the pitch would go(it was increasing as time went on). Came back from the coffee machine to see one of the sales guys trying to have a normal conversation on the phone while sitting right next to it. It was screaming out a tremendous racket and this guy was shouting down the phone.

You must have had a good set of speakers, whenever I've experimented with sound API the sound drops to pretty much zero around 10kHz with integrated speakers.

Not really, just beepers.

Yeah! Trouble is I'd need a Siri/Cortana/Android Voice API plus all that fiddling around with horrible Eclipse add-ons and emulators.
Maybe if I don't sell my Big Box with the higher spec I'll slave it to Android app production.

If only there were a place where developers gathered...
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Do you know of such a fabled place?

Actually, this sounds like a perfect question for QA. They love it when people ask for someone to write them an app. It's great.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

"Friends, and Influence, for Sale Online," New York Times, By Nick Bilton, April 20, 2014 [^].
"This past week, I bought 4,000 new followers on Twitter for the price of a cup of coffee. I picked up 4,000 friends on Facebook for the same $5 and, for a few dollars more, had half of them like a photo I shared on the site.
If I had been willing to shell out $3,700, I could have made one million — yes, a million — new friends on Instagram. For an extra $40, 10,000 of them would have liked one of my sunset photos."
“I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so.” Jorge Luis Borges

He pays too much for coffee.

I checked into this service for myself.
When they found out who I was they raised the prices considerably.

This could be considered spam.

I've made a lot of money off of OriginalGriff. How do you think he got to be #1?

Hi! Is it just me or the MSDN page is down? I keep getting an "Unable to Service Request" error message when entering to http://msdn.microsoft.com/[^]. Anybody else's got the same problem?

Thanks!
So this is why one should download MSDN content from Visual Studio rather than have the online option enabled...

MDSN help completely sucks. That their page is down is no great loss.
Google is your friend.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Yes, until all Google results point you back to MSDN...
