On Friday 13th? We're toast.

It won't be the epochalypse of 2038

The kernel has already switched to a 64 bit value for keeping track of time. "the kernel" of what? There are MANY Unix kernels.

And if you are confusing UNIX with Linux I will be VERY UPSET with you.

[inilbowly]

Confusing? Not in the slightest. Real men use Linux anyway, not UNIX, and know that "the kernel" is the Linux kernel And anyway, Solaris has also switched to 64-bit timestamp if running on a 64-bit arch, and that one is actual UNIX

Real men do not use Linux. People who can't afford a real OS use Linux.

It is also remarkably stupid to assume "the kernel" refers to "the Linux kernel", particularly in a thread which is clearly labeled to be a UNIX thread.

I'm targeting Windows 7 these days.

Linux's support for multitouch is lacking, to say the least.

I hope you're a good shot

I have a killer shot.

I'm thankful every day I've worked my way out of the Unix ghetto...

The development tools in the Windows world these days are out of this world. Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 3.5. Unparalleled.

The fact that you think I'm just referring to a text editor says it all.

If you are a fan of vi-style editing, use ViEmu in Studio. Works like a charm.

I'm not a fan of vi, just happens to have used it for some 20 years, so I have it seriously on my backbone - though, I occasionally has to fight with windows, so I'll look into that - thanks

One-click/keystroke refactorings (eg, extract an interface) are insane timesavers, especially in test-driven development. Things like visual remote debugging with the immediate window is crazy. WCF makes networking insanely easy and powerful. WPF can do amazing things with little effort. All that stuff...

Sounds like you're doing a TV ad for used cars.

[preachadaq]

There's a reason why .NET went from nothing to insanely pervasive in a very short time.

Because they were "PRACTICALLY GIVING IT AWAY" at prices "SO LOW WE MUST BE KAH-RAZY"?

[ForumMasta]

It's simple. If you call some kernel "the kernel", that shows an almost religion-like attitude. And which OS has the most religiously zealous users? Linux, of course Hence, my language is correct

I suspect Apple's OS has more religious followers.

You are madmen both of you - nothing beats vi Except maybe EMACS, pico, and quite possibly writing directly to a file from the command line.

[Jifyicyfuhpop]

I suspect Apple's OS has more religious followers.

You've never heard Linux geeks have a religious war over their kernel versions, have you. Apple's followers are cultists; Linux is a religion, complete with sects, heresies, and dogmas...

Resharper + Visual Assist + VisualSVN

I suppose they are, but I started using VA first, so I'm used to doing refactoring with its tools. It's a good point though, I should probably move away from it, the memory usage isn't kind anyway.
