Today, it's "security robots"[^]. Tomorrow, it's ED-209 from Robocop saying "You have 20 seconds to comply!"

Hmmmmm,
That thing has been rolling around Microsoft campus since 2014[^]. It's usually creeping around real slow... but it can move fast too...

Wow! I had no idea. So where do they hide the guided missiles in that thing?

Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

The best is seeing robocop going down afterwards...
I can't still decide which of both robots is going downstairs more elegantly...

Well, I managed to crash Visual Studio 2015 again but the stack trace is, umm, insightful.

Step 12 is missing! That's the one where Microsoft dismisses the bug as not being reproducable and chucks your bug report in the virtual dustbin!

Not all bugs get closed as "not reproducible". Some get closed because "it's too close to the release of vNext, and we're not fixing any more bugs before that".
Which would be fine, if they fixed the bugs after the release. But they don't. Because the bug report is closed.
So ten versions later, the bug is still present. But if you report it again, it will be too close to the release of vNext+11 for them to consider fixing it.

Alternatively they can then dismiss it by (correctly) stating that this bug has already been reported before.

My thoughts exactly.  
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

So I'm reading on CodeProject about an article on Buzzfeed about something that took place on Twitter.
This is what constitutes "news" nowadays I guess.

Another Place to Start is the XAMP stack using PHP and mySQl to build webapp's with a DB Connection. Generally speaking, there is an excellent amount of support for free be it the documentation or user content. Also this is a pathway to create content with Drupal or Wordpress if that is your thing!
