Also, could they POSSIBLY have picked VAGUER terms to describe all of this?
YesEINA_TRUE. That is entirely possible.

So. Has anyone successfully used Entity Framework for actual data processing code? Because every time we try to do it, we end up fighting all sorts of issues.
It seems to be well suited to wobsytes and other wankery, but ask it to touch more than a few dozen objects at a time and whooo boy.

That's pretty badass. Rare birds.

I know someone that works for Martin Baker, one of their two Meteors is currently flying again. I've been promised a video of the inaugural engine-start as she knows about my gas turbine addiction.
Really beautiful aircraft, just behind the Sea Vixen for sheer style.

That's badass, but the one I saw was more like:

I feel like it needs a "The More You Know!!" caption on it somewhere.

First proper storm for a while, and I saw a meteor on the way home.
Several years ago I was driving around and saw some kind of meteor. Very nice fireball streaking across the sky. So I pulled over and called 911 to let them know, because it looked like it was going to land not too far away. The guy clearly thought he was talking to a kook and humoring me, and then all of a sudden he must've gotten a bunch of other calls of people reporting the same thing because his attitude changed completely. So that was pretty funny, in addition to the coolness of seeing a freakin' fireball streak across the sky.
Guy actually asked me if I wanted him to call back if/when they found out what it was. I said no, but I wish now I hadn't.
-
Really beautiful aircraft,
No.
just behind the Sea Vixen for sheer style.
God no.
You have terrible tastes in planes.

The problem isn't that his choices were old, it was that they were ugly planes. And it's hard to make a fighter look ugly, it takes work.

So if you, say, write a plugin, and you want to export some classes that go together and grab some classes from the application, then they all go under the same "part".
That... could be true, but I've always understood a part to be an export.
Follow-up questions: what if MEF and what is "a component"?
MEF isn't horribly complicated. I really like it, honestly. Basically: You use some attributes to declare that classes are to be exported, and other ones to declare where you want them imported. Then MEF can scan assemblies for those attributes, and compose your entire object graph.
This is usually used for external components, but is also very effective for dependency injection.
[Export] public class Thing { ... } [Export] public class OtherThing { [ImportingConstructor] public OtherThing(Thing thing) { ... } } public class Program { static void Main() { var catalog = new AssemblyCatalog(typeof(Program).Assembly); var container = new CompositionContainer(catalog); container.ComposeParts(); var other = container.GetExportedValue<OtherThing>(); // At this point, all the composable parts in your app have instances, if MEF was able to build them, or you hit an exception. } }

I feel the need, the need for speed!

I feel the need for Speed 2: Cruise Control.
-
That... could be true, but I've always understood a part to be an export.
Apparently you can have multiple exports from a part or something? I've never really used MEF, so I might be wrong.
-
You mostly export classes and occasionally methods, but it's very granular. You could make a single exported entry point to a piece of code, but I prefer to take it a bit farther.

Status: Flonase is some kind of magic-voodoo antihistamine and I love it. I just hope whoever owns the formula never sells it to an ass clown like this cock-socket.
Thanks for the new derogatory/pejorative loopback0!

SIX IS GREATER THAN ONE?! THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!!!! *flails*
-How I read their new marketing campaign every time.
-
All I know is it has allowed me to sleep through the night and only wake up because of my usual restlessness; not because I can't breath and/or I want to scratch the shit out of my eyes.
$20 for two months of relief sounds like a fucking steal in my book.
-
Oh, yeah, it's pretty fucking great, don't get me wrong. They just have morons for a marketing department.
Wait, that was redundant. They just have
morons fora marketing department. There we go.

How can this be ugly?! And it was made of wood and could go supersonic (in a dive). That twin-boom tail is great.

WebRTC is definitely the way to go. Not only does it work flawlessly it's also supported on all the major platforms. 10/10 Would recommend!
Send him this. I realize this isn't exactly what he wanted but I think it will work for his code.

Dammit, now that's in my Youtube history. Thanks...

Status: I'm a bit puzzled by the results of this poll. Maybe I should have explained what we're actually fighting in these orders.
We're fighting this:
It's an elder dragon that was last defeated over 10000 years ago. It came back 106 years ago (now 109, but the first 8 chapters of the story take place in 1325 AE, not the current year of 1328 AE).
I'm not sure why you think espionage will help.
-
Because Tybalt, of course.

I was sleeping rather well, then I had a dream I was crawling through a crawlspace being stalked by a rabid opossum. Now I am awake.
Last night I was sleeping rather well, until 0334, when I was abruptly awakened by one of my dogs barking loudly at something, probably an opossum, in the front yard. :(

Google wants all the world's information.
Microsoft does things the old fashioned way. With tools like swords and battleaxes.
A____ steals technology and rebrands it as their own.

I should point out that joining the Order of Whispers means working with Tybalt Leftpaw, who loves apples and gadgets and forces the player to wear a skimpy "pirate" outfit during one of the missions.
-
...God dammit, do not ruin Tybalt's legacy by comparing him to that.
-
He's also a terrible spy, which makes him being the representative for the continent's spy organization a whole lot funnier.
-
He's practically an open book. About apples.

Were the ATM machines automated?
No. In fact they were just people who looked like meth addicts and even though I asked for $200, they only gave me $5.
Wait...I never got my card back...

But he's a professional. See:These guys are no match for professionals.

Never trust a manual ATM machine. They're glitchy as hell.

REDDIT PEOPLE
How do I make this Reddit RSS feed send me full-sized images instead of tiny mini-thumbnails that are tiny???
-
Pshh
Tybalt's on the right. He disguises himself as the woman on the left - perfectly, except for his voice - in a later mission. They don't even have the same body shape, at all. That's way more impressive, IMO.
-
Pfft. They stole that from ESO.
-
Were the ATM machines automated?
They automatically asked me for my personal PIN number.
Just the person I had in mind when I posted that

Unsure if real or Ace Combat.Not familiar with that livery, which says 'Ace Combat'. But there are US roundels, which says 'real'. But the planes are really clean, which says 'Ace Combat'. But It could just be some really damned clean planes, which would be real. And there aren't munitions dangling off every pylon, which also suggests real.
I think we've achieved the computer graphics singularity, guys. I literally can't tell.
