Duh: same for VS2013
It is still available, you just need to add it back to the View menu. Tools + Customize, Commands tab, Menu bar = View. Select the menu item in Controls where you want to insert it, say the bottom one. Then Add Command, Category = View, Commands = Tab Order.

Even after the SpeedTouch password algorithms were disclosed 2008, ISPs keep using weak algorithms to generate their default WPA/WPA2 passwords in their routers:
A short while ago, blasty published code to generate the WPA2 passwords for UPC routers. Even though Ziggo now owns UPC, a lot of this UPC equipment is still in use. I guess it won’t be for long that similar code for Ziggo routers will be published too.
The code at https://haxx.in/upc_keys.c is easy to download, build and run on a Mac OS X machine even when you don’t have Xcode installed (use the “xcode-select –install” trick):
wget https://haxx.in/upc_keys.c gcc -O2 -o upc_keys upc_keys.c -lcrypto ./upc_keys UPC0053284 5 ./upc_keys UPC0053284 24

You’d think this is a simple question.
Be amazed by the many ways leading into to creating a temporary file with a specific extension.
This list doesn’t even cover all of them:
All via: c# – How can I create a temp file with a specific extension with .net? – Stack Overflow.
Which one would you choose?

Interesting read: [Interesting post] Part 3 – Reverse engineering using other tools. ….
It’s about doing the reverse of obfuscating. Not only convenient to look how certain software was constructed, but also about learning what could me malicious code.

Anyone who knows a trick to prevent Java 8 from installing the Yahoo search/toolbar in Chrome and Internet Explorer?
This trick used to work in the past, but fails as of Java 8:
| Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 | |
| [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft] | |
| "SPONSORS"="DISABLE" | |
| [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft] | |
| "SPONSORS"="DISABLE" | |
| ; http://windowsitpro.com/windows-server/how-do-i-place-comments-reg-file | |
| ; a semi-colon starts a comment line | |
| ; http://superuser.com/questions/549028/how-can-i-prevent-ask-com-toolbar-from-being-installed-every-time-java-is-update/562869#562869 | |
| ; this switch not only disables the Ask.com toolbar installation and prompt, but disables all of the sponsors potentially bundled with the Auto-update setup/Online setup (Google toolbar, Yahoo toolbar, McAfee something, etc…) |

Push vs pull. Hacker vs Scrum (they should both be Agile). The meaning of life. Async await (and the whole development stack behind it). Just a few of the topics he covers in two version of this great talk:
(embedded versions of the videos are further on)
Summary of the first: Erik Meijer’s Hacker’s Way. Feedback on the second Erik Meijer’s Hacker’s Way and One Hacker Way – Erik Meijer : programming.
A few quotes and paraphrased parts I took from this (more are in Keynote: One Hacker Way – Erik Meijer with subtitles | Amara):
Thanks Kees Ks for pointing me at this.

When everybody uses (a+b)/2 but should use sqrt((a*a+b*b)/2) or even [Wayback/Archive.is] weigh the RGB parts.

Just in case I need SynEdit in Unicode:
Old SVN versions are at
Newer Github repositories are at
The finaly one has a Demos folder and links to the original ANSI version. It seems the only version for which SynGen works in Unicode Delphi versions.
