I really had problems going this route (Ubuntu host with Windows guest). While the guest ran in VB reasonably well, trying to snapshot a baseline image and generally use VBox differencing disks quickly ran me out of space on the host SSD. E

Again, you're citing the source control system as the primary feature. TFS is an entire application lifecycle management suite, not just version control. You seem to (continue to) ignore this. Its closest analogue is probably the entir

There's no requirement that you use your home address for registrars (or the IRS, for that matter). It's also not terribly expensive to get a PO Box/virtual office address, and if you're concerned about privacy then it s

Agree with the complaint but not the workaround; there is Tuple<string, string>, after all, so maybe something like this? Tuple<string, string> fullName = ParseName(fullName); var firstName = fullName.Item1; var lastN

There's an answer [1] on the linked SO thread (flip to the first page) but basically, the following two lines are equivalent in C: a[10] 10[a] This is because a[10] is equivalent to (a + 10), and 10[a] is equivalent to (10 + a), as
