This was very useful to get a WebClient with a WebProxy configured to use a proxy server that is based on NTLM authentication.
The note in the MSDN NTLM and Kerberos Authentication . documentation however was totally wrong.
String MyURI = "http://www.contoso.com/";
Note NTLM authentication does not work through a proxy server.
This code works perfectly fine as the CredentialsCache.DefaultCredentials contains your NTLM or Kerberos credentials .

Seems they got only released just yesterday because of the QA effort taking a long time. But it’s good news for Delphi/Rad Studio/C++-Builder Update Subscription members: some fixes are now back-ported to 2 Delphi versions. Which is a new milestone in support from Embarcadero.
Anyway: BLDN .
Note that the list of fixes is at the bottom of these pages:
Source: RAD Studio Hotfixes for XE8 and XE7 with 10 Seattle fixes
I also found out that I never updated the links for XE8 update 1 downloads (I did the original XE8 links Delphi XE8 is out with version 22.0.19027.8951; Spring4D is almost ready. « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff ) so there they are:

For a short while (from Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 till Windows 2003 service pack 2) some updates used Windows Hotpatching.
Some links on the how/why and how to abuse it:
All because of this little post:

Thanks Oliver for sumarising this: Translation Memory Tools Tried and Found Wanting – Oli’s Blog
His conclusion support why I see all my clients building their own translation tooling: no 3rd party tool really supports the full process well, especially not the translation memory parts.

Thanks User Josh Close – Stack Overflow . for answering the below on Stack Overflow: it got my Resharper Alt-Enter key workign again.
Re-apply Visual Studio keyboard scheme:
(VS2013 latest ReSharper)
ReSharper > Options > Environment > Keyboard & Menus > ReSharper Platform keyboard scheme: Visual Studio > Apply Scheme > Save.
This will reset the shortcut keys for ReSharper.
(older versions)
ReSharper > Options > Environment > General > Visual Studio Integration > Apply

Interview with by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas, the authors of The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master .
Many interesting quotes including:
Most people take DRY to mean you shouldn’t duplicate code. That’s not its intention. The idea behind DRY is far grander than that.

I wrote about this before , named it a cardinal sin too, but I seem to have to repeat this:
When your product thinks the license is validate and quits without allowing the customer to save its work, then you’ve committed a cardinal sin.
Yes, I can talk about cardinal sins : I’ve been named after the artist Hieronymus Bosch (:
For me it is OK if a product checks for binaries that do not to the product (and not signed by the vendor) in the product directories and fails to start, or to present a nag screen that takes a while to disappear, or even to limit functionality.
But:
The product should always tell why the license check failed.
The product never can force the customer to loose work.
The documentation should show failure situations (not just the OK counterparts ).
Given some recent posts and the fact that over the course of 10 different versions I lost days of work and at conferences I usually get multiple questions from people having suffered from this, I really had to bring this up again.
