Napoleon?
I am getting most of a solution for it, but that "everything" is throwing me off, so not sure.

Nope!

I'm glad, because it felt dirty trying to fudge that answer into the clue

Napoleon was from Corsica. Otherwise not a bad idea, although 'everything' would be a bit of a stretch. 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

And you are up tomorrow! 
I thought it'd be a simple one, solved in ten minutes ...

I got VS on my box again and Parsley building and added a VSIX project with no errors - still haven't tried to make a custom tool with it just yet, i'm fixing a wrinkle in Parsley first.
But this is cool. All night i spent on this, and ran into so many issues. I used to have everything i needed in case a box caught fire but since i've moved my windows dvd went by the wayside, my wifi isn't working - it worked on this same version of ubuntu last time?! my ethernet cables are still MIA and ubuntu refused to install grub2 correctly so my machine won't boot after install without manually patching it on the cmd line
Results are mixed, but the VM runs smoothly. I may try VMware and see if that's better than virtualbox. My only issue with virtualbox is I can't get it to use my screen's full resolution (something like 1900x1080 or something - it's a TV)
Fixed woo. Now it sizes with the window.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

quick note on virtualbox resizing: sometimes it takes a couple of reboots before the guest additions fully work

thanks. it worked for me on one reboot but first i needed to know to install the thing.

i prefer to think of myself as a survivor in this case.
I beat win10 and all i got was this lousy tee shirt.

As usual I am hardly able to follow what you exactly did, but it sounds like an achievement, so congrats. I actually miss the days when I spent nights on fixing/debugging/programming ...

I took a machine that was practically on fire and got it running again despite problem after problem (it's ubuntu on an older box that grub doesn't like - and running win10 with visual studio in a virtual machine)

Wouldn't that be Star Wars?

Star Wars ? With R2D2 and C3PO ? Ahahah. How can one be so ignorant of scifi culture. What's next ? Han Solo as captain of the Millenium Falcon and Spoke having pointy ears ?

Didn't Spock write baby books?

He called them baby books, but they were really instruction manuals for building psychopaths.

The oddest thing about the word "soccer" to me is the Brits actually invented it and then moved on to use football later. In the US we had a football so the change never happened.
FWIW, somehow the word "soccer" is a shortening of the word "association". I can't explain the leap between them but I'm an American so I don't have to.

We just call it "Wendy Ball" and leave it at that.
