People with such thoughts typically don’t take into account the amount of time they waste when to find a byte of frequently-used data…
- PSpad, Code Looks Natural — Have you ever tried editing any programming code in the Windows’ standard notepad program? Wasn’t that easy and fun? I bet it was NOT.

- Dis# 3.1.1, Back To Sources — The great feature of bytecode-based languages, and, namely, .NET assemblies, is a possibility to «return to source code» at any time. Assembly decompilation is a great tool to understand «how something works», either some general algorithms and data structures, or internal logics of some software or components. Unfortunately, simple decompilation tools give a very poor result which is hard to read…
- AntiPlagiarist 1.8, Where's Your Sources? — Digital century and digital style of work bring new possibilities to all of us, but they also bring new problems. And new ways to solve those new problems; and new unwanted effects of those ways… And one of the most general possibilities (and a source of the problems) is *possibility to copy*.

- CenterIt - a 1-2-3 approach to centering form controls in Microsoft Acess — These days, more and more computers — both desktops and laptops — have widescreen monitors by default. Widescreen high-resolution displays are better suited for multi-window environments, active work with several documents and even movies.
