I bet I'll have to wait a year before convincing my bean counters to buy me a ReSharper upgrade to use with VS2013.

Having reviewed the "What's New" for VS2013 I plan on immediately and without regret staying on VS2010!
VS2013 provides absolutely nothing that I want that I don't already have with VS2010 and a few free add-ons but does bring with it a bunch of baggage I don't need, for example:

Quote:
When you start Visual Studio 2013 for the first time, you’ll be asked to sign in using your Microsoft account

...is particularly worrying.

- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

That's for an (AFAIK) optional feature to store your VS config in their cloud so after you spend 11 jillion hours configuring and laying it out just how you want the first time, when you install VS on a second computer all your settings will come with it.

No it's not. But this one should be 2012 sp1.

According to Alex Kantrowitz at AdAge, Microsoft's Google-bashing Scroogled ads work. As much as I detest Google's (possibly actionable) insistence on scanning every inbound and outbound Gmail message for ad-triggering keywords, Microsoft has just as many skeletons -- albeit in different closets -- and the Microsoft transgressions are getting worse, not better.

Why did they acquire mySQL and Java?

That is the kind of thing to worry about...

Because the anti-trust regulators were convinced not to force them to divest them when they bought Sun.

Microsoft is ending all support for Windows XP in April 2014, and doing its best to move users to newer versions of its desktop operating system. But Google isn’t letting go so easily.

Well, I know what you should be doing with the Internet Explorer running on XP

They're not doing it because they care. They're doing it because they're hoping Luddites who drink their koolaid on XP will keep drinking it on their next computer. Won't work though; most of them are unaware anything without a big blue E could be the internet. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

That was back in the day when there still was IE for the Mac, so that *had* to be installed. I kept moving it around on the desktop (replacing with the Safari icon) in the hopes that lessons would be learned.

I'm hoping you've got a macro for this. Otherwise that really would take a while. I'm impressed though. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Sort of. IIRC it took about 30-60 minutes a year or so ago when I was really bored.

0) Drew it with X and O in Excel.
1) Saved as CSV to import into a text editor.
2) Used a regex to turn it into a set of X‍| and  
3) Twiddled manually to get a somewhat better fit.

Now I just recycle[^] it as needed.
