My most hated sound is my cellphone ringing...doesn't matter who is on the other end either since whoever it is (wife, boss, kids) will inevitably want something even if it's nothing more than just whining!

Not carrying around a cellphone would kill all of those birds with one stone.

The CIA had an opening for an assassin.
After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were three finalists: two men and a woman.
For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
"We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair.....kill her !!!"
The man said "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife!"
The agent said, "Then you are not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home".
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, "I tried, but I can't kill my wife."
The agent said, "You don't have what it takes, so take your wife and go home."
Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, and banging on the walls..
After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, wiping sweat from her brow.
"This gun is loaded with blanks," she said. "I had to kill him with the chair!"

When I put IE9 into compatibility view, CP's layout changes. It's mildly disturbing.

They are not 'Weirdnesses' they are features!
I didn't realise that you can get a version of IE that doesn't have such features....
|
|
|
|

The weirdness is that they released it and people use it.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0
There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Is it just me, or are developers becoming afraid of wide monitors? The more source code I look at, the shorter the lines seem to get. Tools like ReSharper only seem to exacerbate the issue. Code that would easily fit on one line now takes up two or three. How do those developers deal with paperback books? Is this common outside of the Visual Studio world?

I do not also LOVE widescreens, but I collapse everyting on the monitor to have the most space vertically and horizontally.
Also, a good 5:4 monitor is wonderful to develop... pity that there are only a few standard resolutions for them...

I love ReSharper but I have to change a few things in the config options; max characters on a line is one of them.
Eventually, all code will be written, one character per line.

Isn't that where we came from? Oh wait, I think it was 3 characters per line in machine code. IIRC

On my old computer the programs ask for the line width (of the attached terminal) at the start. If you just hit return, you will get one character per line.

They worked out you can read faster with one word displayed at a time. So why not apply that to code too? Go through hundreds of lines in a few minutes and hope your instincts are attentive enough.

Thanks for the link, that was cool! I was surprised I could easily do the 700 WPM. Though that might be a bit more difficult with code. Was that one { or three?
