I had a chance to use PVCS in the past few months and I was really not impressed. They have a great engine, but the GUI is written in JAVA and is so slow and clunky.
Now, I am sure that someone somewhere wrote a better GUI (since PVCS expose the API to the engine).
cvs as the engine, you can install it on windows or on a cheap linux box (I prefer the later).
tortoise as the gui, it integrates in explorer directly, no need for a seperate program or GUI it is simply intuitive.
Jalindi Igloo as the dev studio integration. I've use it for a while and it was working as well if not better than VSS.
I've used vss for 6 years (during my redmond era) and had allright success with it but had to check the integrity of the database and we had to use backup a few time.
We started using cvs when OSX came out and had nothing but success with it. It has its limitation but it is straight foward and I even think it is Open Source (correct me if I am wrong) so if you don't like something, just change it!
People should vote for the block quebecois. Than quebec should seperate, than BC would seperate than the canada would collapse and we could all join the US.
Man you are so right. USA was made from the guts and courage of people like us.
I too moved out of my country to the US. And let me tell you, I've worked in Seattle and Rochester. I am one of the top at my company when it comes to design and architecture. I've made my place and fought a lot for it.
I am applying for a green card. This is a loooooooong process but I am making the sacrifice of not seeing my family much often and waiting for the green card. Why? Because I like the US freedom. I like the people I worked with.
This is sad but true. I've played with.NET a lot and yeah you can write Cobol.NET but it is so modified that the syntax look like cobol but the code is not really cobol like.

is a car (in fact more a motor cycle since you need a helmet) that can go really fast and can stick on the road:)
Use Boost, www.boost.org, for platform independant threading. BTW, this threading platform code will probably make it in the next version of C++ since boost is run by member of the c++ comitee.
Use a good design. Code the logic in a platform independant way and abstract what is platform dependant.
to allow any developper to work on their.Net framework. The.Net and C# are really close to each other.
But what they did, IMHO, is they allow people to use another SYNTAX to code in the.NET framework. You can use Cobol if you want to, does Cobol is object orienter? No? But the.Net will support they cobol syntax and create object under the hood somehow.
So they are not supporting Java, but they are supporting the Java like syntax.

comment the function before coding it!
Why?
1) You will have a better clue of what is it that the function should do. Help you find any problem or hole you got in your approach.
2) It will be clearer for other who read the source code later.

I am glad I left canada and moved in the US...
I've buit a huge web site running on unix solaris and bea web logic with cocoon. We had tons of setup issue, but once configured it was awsome.

Good analogy with the skin concept!

version :)
There was NT3.0, then 3.5 then 4.0 then 2000 (5.0) then XP (5.5). So as you can see, XP is only a small update.
Use STL whereever you can.
