Just food for thought:
What features would you consider in an ideal debugging tool?
What about debugging tools for distributed systems?
What do you think is missing from current debugging tools?

Being able to step backwards would make me very happy C person.

I would really like to see some more artificial intelligence in debuggers. Like they should be able to know which bug I was looking for and fix it automatically. Distributed AI would be even better. One day I dream of submitting a README to github and the code would be written for me automatically, 100% bug-free of course.

We need to setup a continuous integration infrastructure for a C# project. None of us has anything other than a very few user-side experience with these tools at all.
Our requirements would be:
we need a tool which runs on windows, because we want our project to be csc-built. Building with mono is not an option.
we use an SVN server and it's on linux, it needs to be able to get the source from that.
Could anyone of you more experienced collagues recommend a tool like that? :) Thanks in advance!
CruiseControl is a good choice. Have a look here: http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/

I am searching for a good online project managment software. There are plenty of them though. So, the best way would be to get some recommendations. :-)
Lately I've found Zoho Projects.. does anyone use it?
Thanks for answers.

I've used ProjectPier: http://www.projectpier.org/
but we are now moving to http://teambox.com/community
They are open source "replicas" of Basecamp. Teambox seems to be much more up to date as ProjectPier hasn't had a release in a loooooooooooong time.
There's also Trac, which I like because it ties into svn and gives you milestones, bug tracking, etc. http://trac.edgewall.org/
I'm using AgileZen and I'm happy with it. It implements the Kanban methodology and its very simple and effective. Pricing is not cheap, but they give a free account to free software projects.

For a long time I have been working with ReSharper.
But after seeing CodeRush being used in a tutorial video, I started to wonder if I should consider to try CodeRush as well.
But before giving a try I wanted to ask you if you've had a chance to work both with ReSharper and CodeRush, so that you could share your objective opinions on their advantages and disadvantages over each other.
Download a demo of CR and give it a shot.
If you've already spent good money on RS, think about the ROI and the (possible) learning curve for CR, although the learning curve should be sorted out during the evaluation :-). The company where I am is using the Developer Express suite of products (which include CR) and I am loving it. I find it very productive and useful.

I have a presentation due in about three hours and rather than handing in something I drew in pencil, I'd rather turn in something nicer to the client.
Is there something out there that lets me pick and drag common controls to create mockups?

Balsamiq, hands down.
Visio isn't bad if your willing to pay for something. It comes with widgets that resemble actual windows components.

I always seem to have a hard time starting a new Firefox extension. Can anyone recommend a good extension skeleton, scaffold, or code generator? Ideally one that follows all the best practices for FF extensions?
This one works nice: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/tools/builder
Of course googling for "firefox extension generator" is where I found it ;)
Look up this eclipse plugin:
SPKet
It will take care of the skeleton and 50 other things, you will love it.
