Adding my thanks to all.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

....especially to those who are at work holding up the rest of the world
I'm dry again this year, offshore Qatar, but did have a lovely fillet steak for lunch and then just had some excellent roast beef and lamb for dinner.
Been watching all the moaning coming from the facebook groups about the taxes that started today, on tobacco, alcohol and other unhealthy products like energy drinks etc. 100% tax on some products and 50% tax on others. Hate to think what the hotel booze prices will be now!
At least they got a petrol price cut to compensate.
Anyway, Happy New Year everyone and I wish all of you and your families a Healthy, Safe and Prosperous 2019.
Lang may yer lum reek!

HNY to Thee and Thine, Dave ! I think I'd be at home in Qatar ... of course I couldn't pay the rent on what the US sends me monthly, while, here, in the Land of Smiles, I can rent a lovely house.
cheers, Bill

Just realized when going to bed, that started 2019 with setting up my ever first Java application (for Andriod) - it was actually interesting to play with... Didn't felt the pain of the different language (a C like too) and probably was too busy to learn to notice anything really bad about...

It could be construed as a programming question.. hence I hope you will forgive me for putting it here...
However no code is involved and.. it's just an easy to ignore, VS debugging user experience question...
When I debug with Visual Studio, everytime I break the code, by clicking the pause button it show a goddamn screen (replacing whatever current file I was looking at) "The application is in break mode... here is some useless information in fullscreen for your viewing displeasure..."
How do I get rid of this goddamn f***ing useless, nay irritating, window?!
For now I placed it at the bottom with the various diagnostic windows and VS remember. But it's so f***ing annoying...
Remark: this really started when I disabled Diagnostic Tools. But my VS debugging experience was suddenly very slow after I started collecting CPU info, so I disabled the diagnostics.

What's this?
Stop all that complaining!
If ms says that that's the most efficient way to do it, then that's the most efficient way to do it, so just get on with it and use it that way!
It's the way of the future!
In other words: The geniuses at MS who turned both the OS and its flagship, MS Office, into time-wasting mockeries of their former selves are finally setting their sights on VS.
It's time to start looking into Eclipse, guys (preferably looking into it with an eye to rewriting it, because it's pretty awful).

Eclipse is a very powerful IDE that could be very useful if it wasn't such a PITA to work with.

My thoughts exactly.
Just the feeling that you're thrust almost immediately into a world where nothing is named rationally or intuitively, and nothing is where you would think to look* is enough to wilt your enthusiasm. And that's one of the minor hassles!
My first few days with it, a browser with a search-engine spent more time topmost than the IDE.
* E.g. What bright spark put all the CVS commands exclusively in a right-click context menu, under "Team"? Not the first place you'd look? I'd say it's a place where no-one would ever look!

what year is it?
why are you still using outdated versions of software?
you realise the instant and every time you start it you are opening yourself to millions of viruses trojans, seemingly well meaning lonely scammers and many other problems?
- at least that's what all of the esteemed ms certified experts tell me when I mention anything less than the very latest version of anything.
i.e. just passing their message along.... chitter chitter squeak [or whatever sound brainless lemmings make]
