It's also not quite Pascal.

Wikipedia says Ada was influenced by Pascal

Well Wikipedia is bound to get a few things right.

Interesting report on Boeing's use of it. I'd have loved to see them try that with you-know-what.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I preferred her sister Linda

Hopefully you're not referring to the earlier work where you're pretty much watching a woman getting sexually abused on film?

No he is referring to the real Linda who got abused in real life.

Never heard of Ada, but I think that she might have a sister called Linda?!?!?!

Thinking the same as DD isn't really something of which you should be proud.

"Ada Lovelace is the worlds first computer programmer, writing the first algorithm to be processed by a machine."
Almost true - it was never actually processed, because they didn't manage to construct it at the time (machining was not up to scratch).

No it was never actually processed on a machine (the machine didn't exist at the time) but it still is the first algorithm written to be processed on a machine.

Using VS2013 for the first time in anger .. and I mean "anger"
if I see the
'Waiting for required operation ...'
dialog once more (this last timeI was copying 24 lines of code to the clipboard and, while I didn't time it, it was long enough for me to open the browser, come to CP, and enter most of this message!)
I have also had to close it and re-open once as the intellisense refused to pick up some new classes that had been added - leaving red squiggles a-plenty even though it would build clean.
And this is in a small project - god knows what I'm going to experience when I open the main project in it!
Dis-a-pointed!

Sounds like you forgot to use the command line switch /operateatnormalspeedyoubastard

and/or the /runinvs2010mode switch

Oh my mistake I thought since you were using VS that you were a masochist?

I tried installing it at home as I was playing with some c# stuff. It requires the latest version of IE which fails to install for some obscure reason on my home machine. Real men code in vim.

I don't disagree, but feel that
"real men code in their underpants" is more accurate.
Unless it's my computer (which is always a possibility, I guess) then I am disapointed that 2013 can be as bad as my initial experience leads me to believe!

There is a simple registry hack to tell the installer you have IE10 installed.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"svcVersion"="10.0.0.0"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"svcVersion"="10.0.0.0"

Awesome, thanks. I'll try it out tonight.

Actually I'm pleased MS implemented such a brain dead requirement, it was the final straw that got us local admin rights back from the policy nazis.

The original installer REQUIRED that you install at least IE10.
The current installer RECOMMENDS that you use at least IE10, but you can ignore it. 'Course, that means you miss out on some of the Microsoft crappiness.
