Weird, I only used it for C++ from 1.5 until VS 2010. The only time I had the problems you're describing are when the intellisense files were being invalidated because people were storing them (*.ncb) in source control and this was confusing my local VC++ setup.
I'm pretty sure you could turn off intellisense in 2003 and 2005 (don't recall with 2008 onwards though.)
As a long time VisualStudio user I find your problems to be rather 'bizarre' to say the least. I use many IDEs on a day to day basis from XCode, Eclipse, MonoDevelop, Emacs, KDevelop (only for one old project), and VisualStudio 2008, 2010, and 2012. It depends upon what platforms I'm building for.
I have a rather large Visual Studio solution that contains more than 30 projects including web services, DLLs, controls, assemblies, client applications, and COM/DCOM objects, and it takes about 5 seconds to startup and be ready to work when I load that solution.
I also don't run into the incremental build issues that you seem to experience. I've been building huge projects in VisualStudio for more than a decade and never experience the problems you are reporting except when somebody was hosing up source control and VisualStudio though files where changing all the time.
That being said, XCode is a really nice environment as well.
Seriously NASA?
SpaceX is launching rockets that effing land themselves and you're celebrating that your parachute works? Well, those are new...
Perhaps we could settle for "incapable of subtlety"...
According to the Washington Post the CIA knew he was in the car. Several news outlets report this (although that could be parroting the Washington Post); however, several early reports about the attack appear to show the CIA proud that they killed Derwish as well (although that quickly changed after people got wind that he was an American.)
Apparently there was a 'secret finding' making this ok back in 2001/2002.
George Tenet is a yes man.
You can say about Bush whatever you want, but he was always honest about it
Honest about what? Why we should invade Iraq? That we aren't torturing anyone? That the CIA didn't mean to kill that American citizen?
Obama is a worse disappointment in this regard simply because everyone with half a brain should have known that as a Neo-conservative Bush would behave that way. Obama was supposed to be a return to constitutional principles. Now he might as well be making security policy with Cheney (there's a scary thought, lol...)
The first term of "Hope and Change" was not enough to prove he is nothing more than a liar?
Sorry, Republicans handed him the perfect excuse so that objective parties will really never be able to know given they basically said f*** you to anything the guy even thought about irrespective of whether or not it was good for America...
Stop cheering me up...
They did, actually.
The CIA killed a 'terrorist' despite knowing that a U.S. citizen, Kamal Derwish, was in the vehicle at the time.
Apparently before 2002 there was a 'secret finding' that you could assassinate U.S. citizens who the government believed were aiding Al Qaeda.
That f***ing a**hole Bin Laden won the minute we started destroying our own constitution.
...amendments to the Constitution?
Obama is turning out to be just as bad as the Neo-Cons when it comes to "protecting us from ourselves."
It was, but that was a looong time ago...
What is it referencing then?
'The Blackskins'?
Seems pretty racist.
Braves doesn't seem racist to me, although it may be sensitive (and the iconography associated seems pretty racist - and I'm a Braves fan!)
These types of things are very subjective though; ergo, it is likely better to err more toward the side of those who feel slighted.
...the rest of their stuff?
If so, not only a "no thanks" but I would like to add a "I hope you die a flaming fiery death and nobody is stupid enough to buy you..."
Lerner’s computer crashed in the summer of 2011, depriving investigators of many of her prior emails. Flax’s computer crashed in December 2011, Camp and Boustany said. The IRS said Friday that technicians went to great lengths trying to recover data from Lerner’s computer in 2011. In emails provided by the IRS, technicians said they sent the computer to a forensic lab run by the agency’s criminal investigations unit. But to no avail.
Well, to be fair, before everybody gets wound up and declaring 'massive' conspiracies, why don't we get them to tell us what they think the term "computer crash" means, and what exactly happened to her (for a start) computer?
How are these computers 'crashing' in such a way that a forensics team couldn't pull data off the drives?
What e-mail infrastructure does the IRS use?
Get a list of the people that the IRS head e-mail and subpoena the e-mails ON THEIR SIDE.
Let's also find out why people at the IRS seem to suffer an extraordinary number of catastrophic 'crashes' to their computer systems, especially the higher up the food chain you go. Don't they have top of the line firewalls, anti-virus, et cetera? I know that doesn't make anyone totally protected, but I am stuck managing all of the computers for my immediate and extended family and none of them have had drives with unrecoverable data (and believe me, some of them visit some sketchy sites and install whatever appears to be interesting, lol...)
Details people, details.
Hard to know what actually happened when people just use the term 'computer crash.'
If you want to put yourself on the map, publish your own map.
