Plenty of wrong with that, actually.

I'm an Honor Guard and will give my last drop of blood to protect every right to Freedom, for every U.S. Citizen.

Anyone wanting to talk to me face to face is more than welcome...

"Redistribution of wealth" doesn't apply here.  Focusing tax cuts on those with lesser incomes isn't redistributing wealth.  It's being fair.  The GOP have spread this myth that the economy is a fixed pie, and that giving tax relief to lower income families means somehow that it must come out of the pockets of the rich.  That is simply not the case.

I'm in the group that won't get a tax cut under Obama but might under McCain.  I'm voting for Obama.  I don't need a tax break, at least not as much as the US government needs to balance its budget and stop borrowing from China.  Someday my children are going to live in the country that we today leave behind for them.  I don't want them paying for Bush's irresponsible big government spending and endless borrowing.  I don't want religion / creationism being taught in their schools as science.  I will want them to never have to worry about healthcare no matter what happens to me.  I want them to have the same opportunities I had or better.  Basically, I don't want this country to continue going down the toilet as it has over the last 8 years and I give that a higher priority than lowering my tax burden.

I also really have to wonder if you make 250k+ a year and are voting for McCain.  In my experience, the people who seem most concerned with this "redistribution of wealth" fallacy aren't even affected by it.

Obviously, blowhard's problem w/ Dovella is personal.

Maybe blowhard knows Dovella and is jealous of his good looks?
Maybe blowhard is insecured about himself because he has body odor problem?
Maybe blowhard, being told he's inadequate technically somehow is linked with his other personal problems?

Regardless, blowhard, buddy, lighten up!

Naples is a Mix of  Beverly Hills, Bronx  an Tokyo
my examples are not random.

We have town like  Sorrento, Positano , Amalfi , Capri, Nerano, Conca dei Marini , etc etc..

where you can leave your Ferrari alone with the keys on the dashboard , no thief will take you off the car.

VIP every year from all over the world spend their holidays here  (Bill Gates went to Nerano with  Octupus).

More remote areas are invaded by criminals, like Scampia , Forcella , Quartieri Spagnoli etc.

In all this good living in Naples depends only on the area you live in, probably this can be true for every city in the world.

Resources on demand. Why pay for disk space you don't use? Database services you don't use? And accessible from everywhere. And you don't have to worry about managing it. And it drives software as a service nicely.

I sure hope so. As things are now, I won't be touching WPF unless they release some sort of good RAD tool for free because frankly, I can not justify this cost AT ALL to my boss nor myself. No way in hell they would pay for this. And yes, as you say I don't undrestand why pay for this thing when this is basically promotion for windows if "we the developers" start coding and making stuff for WPF. The whole thing about Windows is its application and developer support and if they are moving away from WinForms and going WPF, they absolutely should provide the tool for free.

I mean learning new stuff and doing WPF is by itself a huge time/cost eater, on top of that we gott'a pay for the RAD tool when we can do stuff in WinForms with the free tools quicker.

It's almost an insult to developers. Not only they are taking away the power of gUI creation from us and handing it to "designers", they also won't even give us the RAD tool.

How often is it really that corporations got a whole employee hired just for designing the application? Usually they got the developer thing it all and sheesh, being forced to have TWO tools instead of one is pain enough, now we also have to pay extra for it.

I have heard a lot of "fanboys" regarding this issue, but bottom line is WPF won't start to take off in a larger scale unless developers "like me" are happy with the tools. I'm sure there are maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany people like me out there in corporations just waiting for a free tool.

Sorry for the long rant, I'm just very very very annoyed on this thing. This is the second time trying WPF and again, I'm stuck on the bad tools.

We have a large, sprawling database schema and it's humanly impossible to remember all the field names on all the tables.  So intellisense would be a real boon; especially when you have to join half a doze of them for a report.

Hey Doc, you can run multiple instances.
I've been doing that on Vista to help migrate accounts over to 2008.
(Technical Evangelism, not for my own accounts.)

You can color code your DBs in the 2008 MS, have another instance open and use query windows to copy and paste.
It's actually better than the old Query Analyzer with MS back and forth method, uses a lot less resources.
