I guess as long as no new data has to be processed on weekends, the process will be able to catch up some time saturday morning...
I assume this is some sort of spam filter that only affects clients that don't properly identify to the server (e.g. Pidgin).
I guess the "side" effect, that this makes non MS-clients almost unusable is not entirely bad for MS. Other companies providing IM services have been very uncooperative towards alternative clients as well.
I've seen the same in a webproject I occasionally maintain. Perhaps there is some CodeProject article or so that reommends this approach...

In C# that you mention, methods and classes are named the same way. For that reason, I don't think the C# coding standard is very well designed. Wouldn't it be less bad to confuse classes and interfaces (ie. types) than classes and methods?
When could you ever confuse methods with classes? Isn't that always immediately obvious from the (very narrow) context? Can't really think of a good reason how a different coding standard (I guess you're thinking of e.g. using lowerCamelCase for methods and UpeerCamelCase for classes as is customary in Java) could make code more readable readable?

They also check the referer, so you have to fake that, too
Or you can just use Firefox with the Web Developer Extension and use the 'Edit Html' function
Of course, you can purchase many flammable fluids in the shops on the inside of the security barrier.
Yes, but this is carry on luggage
Fires don't work very well in baggage holds, because they're both very cold and have a very low oxygen level
Actually I believe on most comercial airliners, the holds are both pressurized and heated, to avoid problems with stuff freezing. (and wikipedia agrees with me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airliner) and aren't animals transported in the same (or at least in non-airtight connected) cabin as the luggge?), the evaporation concerns are more when there is cabin pressure loss. Still, I agree that it is very unlikely that a zippo would cause a fire. I believe the reason for such regulations is, that you don't want people to transport large ammounts of flammable fluids/gases in an passenger plane. So you make a regulation agains any ammount of such substances
Another really silly regulation (airline regulation not a goverment regulation) is, that you often have to deflate you bycicle tires when transporting them in an aircraft. Which is quite silly because even if the luggage hold wasn't pressureized, the addidtional 1 bar of pressure diffferential is unlikely to be a problem with a racing tire that is pressureized at 7-9 already anyways. If the tire doesn't burst at normal air pressure _with the additional weight of the cyclist_, it won't burst at +1bar without the weight of the cyclist...
Strange. Perhaps the security personell wasn't trained well. I believe the regulations only say that you're not allowed to carry a Zippo (or anything else that has been in contact with flammable fluids) in your check-in luggage as it coul'd accidently cause a fire. The luggage part of the plane might be lower pressurized than the passenger cabin, so fluids like petrol will evaporate quickly, possilbly creating an very cumbustible environment, which is clearly unwanted. And yes, they really do recognize a zippo lighter when x-raying. Happended to a friend of mine. Could take it with him after showing the security personell, that it has never been used.
Traveling with an petrol camping stove can be problematic as well, even when thoroughly cleaned.

When Calling a single stored procedure, he used a transaction
I think this isn't necessarily bad (when the SP doesn't contain transaction code and you can't change the SP), after all if the SP fails midway through, it could leave your db in an undefined state. Or am I wrong?

i wrote an uninstaller once that delete the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Uninstall registry key. Very weird things happen when you do this, such as not being able to run any programs, at all! It's actually kind of magic looking, so if you have a virtual machine to try it out on, I suggest you give it a try.
I just tried that (Win XP in Virtual PC) und everything continued to work as normal.
also when I have a pop up blocker enabled i get an error message on https://hp.taleo.net
"You cannot access WebTop services because pop-up windows from this site are currently blocked."
So they took the trouble implemting a pop up blocker detector rather than making the site usable without pop ups. That *is* pretty bad.

up to this day, they still haven't implemeted booting off of a ramdisk.
I suppose few people would really benefit from this as a) you can suspend to ram and b) most people (well, most professional people, but only those would know how to set up a boot from ramdisk scenario anyhow) turn their computers on once in the morning (if at all turning it off), so boot time is not such a big deal anyways.
readyboost is quite different than just using a flash device as swap. It's used as an extra cache and only for operations that are faster on a flash device than on a hdd, ie random small reads, large sequential reads are served by the hdd. Lifespan of flash devices was considered but deemed not to be a problem with an estimated lifespan of 10 years when used as a readyboost device. I think it's save to assumbe that hardly any one will want use a current usb flash device in 10years.
Perhaps you should first read up on the technology befre posting nonsense. http://blogs.msdn.com/tomarcher/archive/2006/06/02/615199.aspx would be a start
Since I'm not allowed to edit my message amymore ("time limit for editing messages" wtf?) I add for those that do not want to check the link, that the app is about designing a finger ring, you know, pick a color, shape, engraving etc. 5 colors, 6 shapes, 53 letters with a max of 10 letters will already make 15900 records for the talented sql team to maintain...
form http://blog.everythingflex.com/2007/01/24/announcing-ringdesignonlinecom-flex-2/
"This application is the results of many hours of Flex development by myself as well as a large SQL server project for the millions of records of data representing the millions of possible ring combinations, and many hours of design work on the thousands of ring image assets by our talented SQL team and graphics designer."
Oh dear, either this is badly worded or the "talented sql team" really fucked up the db design.... I can just picture the db, 1 table with millons of rows, 1 for each possible combination
