Actually, it's essentially the VB runtimes with a heavy influence of Delphi and some concepts from Java (which weren't all that new there either.)

Sir David, Lord of Luton, Duke Dalek,
The vicious rumor that William Shaxper of Avon had a "thing" with chickens, either gallicidal, erotomaniacally bestial, or necrophiliac, and not, just the usual gustatory amour-propre: is one the most heinous of the pack of mad-dog lies spread by his jealous contemporaries, and later detractors.
Even though you could, argue that Sonnet #143, written from the point-of-view of a neglected baby whose mother has run-off chasing a chicken, is not only one of his worst sonnets, but also a semiotically coded message about something quite kinky ... and you could argue that all the mentions of cocks crowing in his work could also be suggestive of ... some aspect of concealed emotional, or even sexual, proclivities:
I, and others, who almost "worship" the immortal Bard of Avon, reject all such innuendoes as just suppurating acnaceous pimples (usually grafted by jaded academicians) on the corpus of literature, which William, along with Cervantes, and Rabelais, and Milton, Dante, and so many other demiurges, hold up for our edification.
Another disgusting rumor is that Shakespeare used the term "chicken-scratch" to describe hand-writing, which is absolutely absurd. That phrase comes from a 1909 play by Bostelmann written to discredit Shakespeare's as the author of his works.
What is true is that Shakespeare brought into written usage a vast number of phrases, and words, idioms, and allegories, metaphors, and similes, analogies, and cunning punts of the living English language, with its vitality, vigor, and improvisational richness. A scholarly friend of mine estimates that Hamlet, alone, brought over six-hundred new usages into the written canon.
So, I invite Thee, me Lord, to, prey, consider that William's thing with Gallus Gallus, whatever it was, is as trivial a bit as a piece of a chick's down tossed hither and thither by the four winds, and all the noise made about whether the Bard was all-in for thigh, or breast, mere scrawny hen's clucking.

Well, Seventh of the Ejog, that's progress for you; stay with me through the trials and tribulations you encounter on the Path of Slack, and don't forget to present generous gifts frequently, and you may achieve being lost with the first word: at that point, you will be ready to continue Slackisme on your own, safely.
No smoke here, but the air did seem kind of clammy, tonight, in my favorite local pub [^].
For some reason they didn't have the northern Thai chicken-feet soup, Tom-Saab Super Teen Gai, on offer tonight, so I came home early to replace some of the nails in my head with sharper ones, because I am really meticulous about not being blunt.

Hi Mike,
I am from the South myself, both parents from Georgia. And, speaking of smoked ham: my great-grandfather was a Civil War orphan who was sheltered in a partially destroyed old ante-bellum mansion somewhere south of Atlanta with other orphans. After Sherman's Army passed by, there was nothing edible, and no animal life, left, within thirty-miles. The people at the orphanage had filled the chimney with dried peas, and sealed it up, and the Union foragers didn't find them.
So, for months the orphans lived on dried peas; for flavoring, they dug up dirt from the smoke-house floor that had some pork drippings and salt in it: they boiled that with the peas.
That great-grandfather sired seventeen children, eleven of whom survived to adulthood, of whom my grandfather was the last to die, at age 101.
As a child, I had lots of great smoked ham

I like this report by El Reg[^] if it's not already widely known.
The concept is noble but knowing how Embarcadero price their products I'm not sure it will be the elixir to all development ills. I'd love to see Microsoft achieve this using VS but that's my dream. It's a great concept but a step to far for the waterside voles at Embarcadero?
 if they pull it off and make it affordable.
Edit:  I just saw the pricing structure. Corporates only, I suspect.

Well, if the language is C# I'd be interested. 
But the price has to be pretty much the same as for Eclipse and Visual Studio Express. 
P.S. "and in the darkness source control link them."

indeed. Poor little kitty.
I'm sure there will be some jokes about it to "cheer" us up.

I am more kind of a dog person. But still against cruelty to animals, so add me on the list.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."
