Hehehehe you better do Java and Open source, you will get a new popular flavor each Month!!! At least with MS you have one source only!!!

There are a lot of good comments here.
First, you don't have to always switch.
Second, it is not just MSFT changing TOOLS. I had software a client used for YEARS under Windows XP (and even before that). No issues. Windows 8 comes out, and he cannot run the application (it was written in Delphi, using Paradox DB/BDE). Mircosoft made so many breaking changes, this became impossible to support. I reworked it to newer Delphi + SQLite database. Still a couple of hiccups (like non-infinite waiting for SMTP connections which are fixed now). Luckily I got paid to do it.
The problem is NOT that the tools are changing. The problem is that the rate of change is ever increasing! Also customer expectations are through the roof. They no longer need a simple DB application that generates input/ouput, and creates an import for their Accounting System. Today, they want it web enabled, with customers placing orders online, updating everything back at the office, hitting the accounting system in real-time, completely integrated with ALL 3rd party shippers, and BTW, could you make it Multi-Lingual and Multi-Currency, AND super secure so the Credit Card company can test/validate it? (Oh, and we have a VERY LIMITED budget... This has to pay for itself in a year... LMAO)
That Said. I was just hired to upgrade some old PHP sites as the hosting companies will no longer support the older (less secure) versions of PHP... And have you noticed how often JRE/JDK updates are coming down the pipe?
I am fortunate enough to get to play with a LOT of this. Less of the MSFT stuff because I felt it would take them 10years to really do .Net correctly (I was close!), and I was able, for a long time, to avoid it with Delphi... But that is slowly dying... Luckily solid code can last a long time if the underlying components can still be installed!
We are discussing where to go next... C# or Java... But this is a 3-5 year decision for us. We change REALLY SLOWLY because frankly we plan on living with that solution for some time. We have to be able to target Windows, Linux, Web, and now Macs are becoming a target platform for us.
Prior to open sourcing some of .Net, Java was the pretty clear winner for us. It will probably be the final winner, only because we dread linking our existence to MSFT who can do some really stupid things of late (windows Vista? windows 8? killing windows 7 next).
In the end... It is programming. It is problem solving. It is just too much fun to stay away from!

You should try living in the non-ms world... to me it looks like the pace of change is even faster there. What you started learning this week is out of date before you finished learning it.

Come now, the joke (even with 97% of it's content lost in translation ) is still better than many other jokes-of-the-day here.

Brilliant. Best joke I have ever read. The tears are rolling down my face. Please, don't waste any further time - you must travel the world telling people this joke. Please. Start now.

Boy: "The richest men stand with a bowl in front of my dad." (implied - begging bowl)
Girlfriend: "Then your father must be very rich!"
Boy: "No, he sells golgappas" (a cheap confectionary
Nope - still not funny.
Like
Boy: "Rich men bend over backwards to please my father"
Girl: "He must be rich and powerful!"
Boy: "No, he's a chiropractor!"

Somehow, I don't see him being able to ask them for a reference...
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?

A stupider it gets the less likely can itself prevent acting impulsive whether it stealing, assaulting in anger, or quitting like anger, like animal completely impulse and instinct. I once made someone so angry that they started swerving their car putting itself in danger, without physical action on my part, beautiful thing can be manipulated

WTF?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Visual Studio 2010 says: Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Data.DataRowView' to 'System.Data.IDataRecord'. An explicit conversion exists
Really, VS? I've never seen one, MSDN doesn't list an explicit conversion. If you know of one, please show me. *
* To clarify; this I ask of VS, not the denizens of the Lounge.
Visual Studio 2010 says: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Data.DataView' to type 'System.Data.IDataRecord'.
Yeah, I thought so, come back when you make up your mind.
I think VS just always says there's an explicit conversion and crosses its fingers.
It sure would be nice if DataRow and DataRowView implemented IDataRecord.
(And I had left off the rant icon.)
