About those pushpin dockable windows, they also drove me crazy until I found out that if you hold down ctrl while you're moving one, it won't dock.
I use both Eclipse and VS.NET every day and also find Eclipse to be a lot more powerful, even though it's not as fast, mainly because of how well it "knows" your code and makes use of this knowledge.
15-20 years ago, I was a systems programmer on VM/SP . I always remember how shocked I was that all the OS source code was shipped with the installation. We used that code quite a bit for reference and sometimes even changed it. I guess it wasn't really open but it sure was handy to have around.
I've used XmlHttpRequest and depending on your target audience, you can run into problems. First, it doesn't work in IE versions earlier than 5. Second, even for versions after 5, a few installations had to have MSXML 3 re-installed before it would work.
I've written a lot of transforms and in my experience, one of the main causes of poor performance is poorly written xpath expressions that have to perform global document searches.
why they added the extra x to Rexx in 1984, which happens to be the year I learned it in. You'd think that the Rexx programmers at the time would have be notified of such a fundamental change.

You can use Sarissa to abstract a lot of the ie/moz differences in XMLHttpRequest and DOM.

Hypothetically, if I AM using the equipment to pirate the signal and I get sued, how can I get in on this "legitimate use" gravy train?
