    I would have expected a monopoly suit against Starbucks(R), but not Seattle's Best Coffee!

    Its woth noting that in ASP.NET, the default method for saving the session state key is to put it in a hidden input field on the form. This is ideal because it doesn't use cookies. If for some reason this doesn't work for you, you can configure it to store the key in the URL (although this is a security problem), or use cookies.

    To change the method for storing session state, you don't have to write any code. You just tweak a parameter in the XML configuration file called web.config. This is something that Microsoft got right...

    Why the hell is there no anti-trust suit against Comcast? They are unfairly forcing people with satellite TV who also want the best internet connection availible in the area (sadly...Comcast) to pay 60$/month for cable internet. BUT, their reasoning is, you can get cable tv from them and you pay about 60$ with cable internet and basic. It is so obvious this move is to screw over satellite tv and no one seems to be doing anything about it!
