Back in July, the web was afloat of rumors that Microsoft might be open sourcing PowerShell. Now a little over a month later, those rumors have been confirmed, and PowerShell has officially appeared on GitHub for Windows, Linux and MacOS. I'm sure those Linux folk are glad they have a choice in shells now

I'll sign this post here. 
[edit]And what's even more amusing is, it doesn't seem like we are supposed to build it.
The "Build" option on the Configuration Manager is unchecked for all 6 projects in the solution!

Well, Marc. You seem to have not read the Manual[^], where it says:
Quote: We do not recommend building the Poweshell solution from Visual Studio. This may lead to package version mismatches with errors similar to:
C:\dev\powershell\src\System.Management.Automation\project.json(142,77): error NU1001: The dependency Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreCLR.AssemblyLoadContext >= 1.0.0-* could not be resolved.
Yes, this requires a command line build.

Do they have a custom set of VIM addons to make navigating the source easier. 
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?

Well, I guess I shouldn't expect anything more from (grammar) Nazi's... 
Seriously though, I never knew about proper nouns in English.
I know Germany capitalizes nouns. But then again, they capitalize everything when they talk 
And I could've sworn you're treating someone ON something (treat your love on candy/flowers), rather than WITH (unless you're waiting for them at the door, but that's another meaning of the same word, just to make it more complex ).
Then again, I'm Dutch, so what do I know about the English (proper noun!) language

No. 'With' is the correct word to use.

They aren't two words with the same meaning.

You point AT the door.
You play WITH your friends.

That makes no sense. The liability should be on the consumer of the tool.
If I take my wire cutters and splice in to my neighbor's analog phone line (ok, maybe that would have worked 10 years ago), do you sue the company that makes the wire cutters???

If someone creates a product to break into secured safes, they are as liable as the people that bought it...
