How about a Visual Studio plugin that posts your resume to Monster every time you code a WTF?

RE: Win2k Task Manager suddenly borderless
[quote user="MrAngus"]
To hide / show the menu bar and border, double click the area immediately surrounding the list of tasks. For example, immediately to the right of the scroll bar. Why this works the way it does is still a mystery to me, though.

This is more of a "full screen mode". It also hides the tabs as well the border. Why this option is not in the Options or View menu (with the client area double-click as a shortcut) is a WTF.

RE: WebForms+Ajax-like framework for .net?
@Sunday Ironfoot said:
I've heard the current CTP version of Atlas only supports IE browsers, but that they'll be adding multi browser support in the final version. Any truth in that? Otherwise ATLAS looks interesting and will have to investigate it, I'm doing my Masters disertation on Ajax.
We run IE and Firefox on Atlas, no problem.
Haven't tested others yet.

RE: WebForms+Ajax-like framework for .net?
We've been using Atlas. Even though it's currently CTP, we've been impressed by it's functionality and stability. It's free and integrates well with the VS IDE. It allows you to do most things declaratively (via markup) or by writing some JS yourself. Development is easy and performance is good.

you just like to correct people's grammer on the internet because you have small berries ;)
Well, it's spelled "grammar" and I was correcting his word usage, not grammar anyway.
It's not the size of your berries, it's how you use 'em.

RE: [helloworld()] Hello !
Technically, it's a logical impossibility, rather than an oxymoron or a contradiction in terms.
Still damn funny, though. -
RE: Create Database Production;
I agree with Alex, too.
My preferred way to manage the process is to have 4 environments:- Integration. This is where all the developers put their code to see if it plays well with others and for early QA
- Test. Only controlled releases are performed to promote code here. This is the QA playground.
- Staging. This is an exact replica of Production. If the release succeeds here, it should work in Production. This validates the release package
- Production
If the code is promoted through these environments in a controlled fashion (we use a homegrown, automated release app), all WTFs should be worked out. -
RE: Need advice on .NET
You can read all about the C# vs VB thing just about everywhere. Suffice it to say that my personal pref is strongly C#. VB works finem but reading that syntax is just awful.
Books: I can recommend the O'Reilly line. Jesse Liberty's C# books are great to get up to speed with the language. The ASP.Net book by Liberty & Hurwitz was good, but they don't seen to have the 2.0 edition out yet. I haven't read the Nutshell book yet, but it's probably pretty good.
As far as using ASP.Net itself, that takes a little time. You'll need to change your mindset a bit. Try not to think of it as a "web" app so much and focus on the OO aspect of the app in its entirety. The .Net way seems to be less about the UI and more about code reuse. Go ahead and let the server gen the markup for you; don't fight it. The good news is that 2.0 gens XHTML (1.1 was just HTML 4). We use CSS extensively, and ASP.Net plays well with it for the most part. If you're into it, check out the Atlas AJAX library.
For our ASP.Net apps, we try to keep the actual web project slim; we put almost all the biz logic in separate assemblies (also C#). This greatly helps the dev process and the release process.

RE: Idempotency and cookies?

That's a good idea.. I really like the textonly.site.com/page solution. It would be really easy to parse the current URL to determine which page to show. Now I've just gotta learn how to set up my server to do that...
I believe that textonly.site.com/page would require DNS changes. site.com/textonly/page may be easier to manage.

RE: Method and operator overloading
@Jeff S said:
When you say that you disagree, I am not sure what are you disagreeing to ... from your response, it seems like you may have missed my points (or most likely I did not make it clear enough).
>>Operators are no more a "fixed" part of
languages than are the flow control keywords; they change from language
to language and from version to version. When reading code, one has to
glean semiotic meaning from all the elements, operators included.
I never said that operators are the same for ALL languages. As for the meaning of operators changing from version to version of a particular language, I can't think of too many instances where this has happened (unless you consider, for example, C and C++ and C# all the same languages, just different versions ... I definitely don't) Even if we can dig up one or two instances (out of a combination of every langauge and every operator out there) I think it will be a very small percentage -- thus, further making my point about what we are used to dealing with in terms of the definitions of the symbols in the languages we are using.
The fact that an operator might have two meanings or usuages in particular language is irrelevant to what I was saying. (or trying to say, anyway).
I also never said that we don't have to read operators or interpret what they mean or what they are doing or that we can ignore or skip them.
And, finally, I never said operator overloading was "evil".
Jesus, it's just exhausting dealing with you. Forget it.
