This was my first website visit of the day, every day back then. I still remember seeing a post with 'XP style' buttons for VB6 that I used on a Windows Server 2000 application and…

I'm sure there was a startup a few years ago trying to achieve this. I can't recall the name sadly, it was 10+ years ago. Agar or something perhaps? I believe you topped up a balan…

Indeed, it's come along way and I'm not knocking it. Point is thought this was there out the box with VB.

If I recall correctly, you could write new code during debugging sessions, move the pointer to it and run it. Very dynamic. We can now do some of these things in VS or other tools …

Thing is it was never a prototype, always the end product. Had a lot of Access systems that were created by people in their roles that got widespread use then grandfathered into ge…

Louis Rossmann - He's done some good analysis around rents in NYC.

Surely this enables them to just keep up, rather than having the freedom to innovate?

I came here to say the same (but undoubtedly not nearly as well as yourself). It was the religious stuff that put me off completely. Being in a group of people all there with a com…

With my bank, the telephone banking password is very different from the one you use to log in.

There he is! I just didn't recognize him. Thanks for pointing him out. I was feeling quite aggrieved on his behalf there!

Is it not missing Eric S. Raymond? EDIT : Yes, he is there - just didn't recognise him.

I hope so as I'd be one of those applying and moving. The whole Brexit mess is very very depressing. I hope the mess we are making goes to bolster Europe as a whole and show how it…

Exactly. HR is never your friend. Join a union if you want peer support. Actually, just join a union.

I seem to recall something along the lines of large bombers running valves as they were less prone to effects of EMP around nuclear blasts. Not sure if this perhaps something simil…

> I appreciate horrible things likely happen in my own country Yes, I know (as stated above). By no means am I saying it couldn't. Still, it doesn't excuse Americas practices in an…

I think you left the /s from that post. I don't believe you can seriously believe such statements.

I appreciate the fact I'm British, but not out of any patriotism. I certainly don't think my country is awesome. Considering life is a lottery, all things considered I've been incr…

I'd rather save my money and just not visit. I don't see anything that could out balance all the negatives. Many millions of Americans are lovely people who I'd donate a kidney to.…

The message it sends to me is, never visit America. I appreciate horrible things likely happen in my own country, but this is just disgusting.

I’d say he is well aware of this. A lot of the things he makes are from reclamed materials with a mimimal amount of new stuff. He is awesome.

Surely all cars have been pre-driven, even if in the factory.

I'm getting your book - thank you. Also wanted to say I really like the site you have put together. Minimal yet everything there. Perfect.

But Brexit does mean Brexit... /s
