and VS2010 doesn't support global directories so you must enter your search paths manually into every single library, making porting time consuming and tedious.

Or you add shared props files that have the correct settings to your project through the property manager, and then you only have to edit them in one place whenever they change. There are some new ways (better ways) of doing things in VS2010 compared to older versions. It's not perfect, but it works. And in the end, a project file is pretty human-readable XML that you can easily modify with Python for example. I do it relatively often to fix certain niggles (like how the dependency manager fails to handle files referenced in the project that are not on disk, but not required for a successful build).

I believe the process is to first identify the "bottom bioethecist". Then the other one of the pair would have to be the "top".

You are mistaken. The top and bottom bioethicist are one and the same. Except after taking LSD. For research.

Sometimes the cost of repairing something easily fixed is higher than just getting a new one. Two examples: at one point in time certain printers were cheaper to buy again with included ink cartridges than getting separate new ink cartridges, and a pocket calculator actually cost less than the batteries that it needed when the originals ran out.

"...because most people don't have ... thirty thousand dollars extra to purchase a car in cash?"

I think you mean: ...because most people aren't willing to drive a beater and save the money they would be spending on a lease for a nice car until they can afford to buy it in cash?

Funny you should say that. I have only one piece of debt: my house. I paid for my (very new 2ndhand, but small) car in cash.
