If you don't like the way Microsoft Word (and Outlook) "auto detects" that you are typing an ordered list, there is a simple fix.

Use pound signs in front of your numbers like this:
#1)
#2)
#3)

instead of:
1)
2)
3)


There is a "hidden" code generation feature in Visual Studio 2008 called Text Templating Transformation Toolkit or T4. It was added to VS2008 to help support Microsoft's Software Factory and DSL strategies.

The Basics:
Your add a .tt file to your project. You use VB.NET or C# to write code that generates any text output - .cs, .vb, .xml, .sql, .html, .xsd, .js, etc...
The templating syntax is similar enough to JSP or ASP.NET. This is an excellent way to bring code generation directly into your IDE.

Would you take Hillary Clinton as President from 2008 to 2016, if it meant you had to have Jeb Bush as President from 2016 to 2024?

There's nothing wrong with Americans having a Bush or Clinton as President or Vice-President for 44 years right?

I was looking at some of the larger external hard drives at Circuit City last night, and that reminded me of this lame thing Western Digital is doing on their networked drives.

Western Digital network drives crippled

Western Digital 1TB MyBook Drives Infested With DRM?
Western Digital's own support article listing the file types you can not share

I think we should not buy their products until they stop doing this.
