I never thought I'd go back. I thought I'd remain a Chrome user, but this[^] is tempting me away from Chrome.

Can Chrome not do that anyway?

Not without using Chrome extensions.

WebGL shader editing directly in the browser. GLSL and HLSL are things I've been spending a lot of time in lately, and the ability to edit the shader "in place" is very attractive.

Why change your default browser just for this? Just run it up as and when you need those features.

Primarily because FF is up there with Chrome in terms of features and I dislike swapping backwards and forwards.

I'm with Kevin McFarlane on this.
If you're going to swap default browser for this, I'm really curious as to which sites you have in your favourite list.

I was running a bit of code in the sleepy backwater of our app, when out of nowhere it hit a break-point. I asked myself how the heck did that get there when I disabled them all. Highlighted in the code window was this rather nice statement:
Debugger.Break();
I know you seasoned hacks out there will snigger in amusement at my "discovery" but I never, ever came across this before. I'll use it with caution especially running the app in the IDE, but I give VS a slap on the back for this statement.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

You can't do that much with the Debugger class[^] (Break and Log are about it), but the Debug class has a pile of useful stuff: MSDN[^] - and the best bit is you don't have to change the source to remve it all completely for release!

You can also see if a debugger is attached; if one is while the environment isn't yours, there's a big chance that someone is "inspecting" your application and its guts.

Yeah, but you have to utterly stupid to upload critical data to a cloud service and be convinced that no unauthorized person will ever gain access to it (and now I'm talking in general, not about this individual).
I see the benefits of cloud storage, but I would never surrender my data to an outsider no matter how convenient. Do you realize how long it would take to download all that pr0n again? 
As for portability and accessibility, I'm perfectly content with using USB drives and external harddrives. If I loose them, I might be screwed, but at least it's my own responsibility!

I have gone the USB, image and incremental image, route too and the really important part is - store the usb drives in a different geographical location to the computers that they are backing up.
(Fires, floods, meteorites and thieves don't generally attack two geographically separate locations simultaneously)

No, being gullible is enough.

The cloud is also being used by larger corporations; I don't see them setting up a sneaker-net any time soon.
As for accessability; most people with broadband can access their computer using RDP, if they'd configure it.

My solution is simple: I pay $5 a month for a GoDaddy website, which comes with unlimited storage, and operate my own private secure cloud, written and administered by me. It's really not too difficult. Then again, most internet users wouldn't know how to write a "Hello, world" HTML page, so my approach is probably not for everyone.

do you encrypt your files?
Long ago when I did web development, I had to explain to customers that if they were on a virtual server (like godaddy) I would not store customer information in the database. I had no way of knowing who the sys-admins were. I'm with 1and1 and any time I had to call for support (very rarely), I always got a Russian sounding guy....
