Probably not a good day to buy a lottery ticket. 
Arguing with a woman is like reading the Software License Agreement. In the end, you ignore everything and click "I agree".

Talking on the phone (to the love of your life) in the men's room? How gauche!

🐘 Actually, hardly a dozen people in the world have my cell number - and most calls, especially while trying to work out vacation plans, are from the Mrs. She rarely calls 'for nothing' - and I don't accept or send texts.🐘

...and this is relevant to taking a phone call in the pisser how? 
|
|
|
|

Relevant because (1) I get few calls, and (2) I am expecting some particular business to be discussed, and (3) if she gets on the road I'll not be able to call back for a while, resulting in (4) her calling me back at what may have been an inopportune time.
This is part of the reason I even brought the phone with me, today, instead of leaving it to quietly drain its battery.

Alright, I cracked a smile, but you should feel fortunate. Unless your clumsiness is an indication of something, it could have been much worse. You didn't drop your keys into the storm drain next to your car and you dropped a $20 phone into a urinal, not a $1,000 phone into the toilet.

Not original to me - I was moderating a blog: Scroll bars Re-engineered[^] and had a "didn't know that" moment.
You can change the VS scroll bars to give you a code overview by right clicking the bar and selecting "Map view" in the "Scroll bar options" - with a tooltip "readable" view. Handy!
Once the blogs approved I'll upvote it, but I thought you might miss the blog if it scrolls off the front page too quickly.

Great! Thanks for sharing this!

Cool. I had seen an extension to do this once upon a time, but didn't know it had been made part of VS.
Cool beans!

Exactly.

Yeah it's ugly and distracting ... it'd be better if it also collapsed respective sections when you collapse methods/regions - so you could better see the sections you are working on.
Another half baked good idea.
signature upgrading ... please wait.

I like it just the way it is - set to narrow map keeps it discreet and you can see the errors you need to address and where you are working. One of the better innovations.

And use bookmarks to show areas you are interested in. They show up in the map.

It's one of this 1000-Shortcuts-in-Excel-you-need-to-know thing. There are so many features in VS that I will never use because I don't remember/know them. Do I miss them? Not really!
|
|
|
|
|
When writing code, I agree, this feature is probably of little use and may be distracting.
When debugging? I can see turning it on and off as needed.
|

Do the experiment yourself. I have. In the end, I just left it off. If it works for you - then hey, great.

Me too. I tried it just now and disliked it. Good decision from VS Team for making it turned off by default. It's way too distracting. I would rather use the good old Ctrl+F for navigation.

IntelliJ has something similar. you put your mouse pointer in the scrollbar area and it will give you a popup preview of that location.
it's useful for looking at the compiler errors and warnings (which are highlighted in the scroll area, too).
|
|
|
|
|
I find it useful in Intellij and haven't even looked for ways to turn it off  Good that VS has the option (I've stopped using it since VS2013)
