I worked for the AWBC (aussie wine export control folks) for a while. Theres definitely a big difference between $10 a bottle and $20 a bottle. Getting much over that is just getting into snobbery.
You definitely can't kid yourself into thinking that a $10 bottle tastes anything beyond alcoholic vinegary fruit juice. Anything over $20 and (to me) they taste different. Different as in you can easily tell them apart - and which one you prefer. Theres no way I'd be able to pick the "more expensive one".
Of course I found one of the most exclusive South Australian wines to have more than a slight hint of diesel in it... not surprising - it did come from an old winery which is now within the city;)
Anyway: Free tip for buyers of Aussie wine - if its got a furry animal on the label, then its generally our cheapest shit from everywhere, all mixed up, imported in bulk and bottled in your country, sold for a moderate price, because hey - its Aussie wine - and you guys love us Aussies right?:D
Agreed. Red label you can taste the methanol. Gives me a massive headache every time.
Theres a fairly odd blend called BNJ at my local. Its a very cheap whiskey ($30), but its interesting in that it doesn't have any real flaws. Of course theres nothing unique about it either. Good for a mixer, or for your fourth+ with water;)
Thats why the MVC pattern was invented. If your IToolboxView has more than a "ToolClicked" event and exposing more than couple a "ChangeActiveTool"/"SetToolEnable" methods, then you are doing it wrong. If your toolkit has threading demands then (say for Windows.Forms, your view implementation is responsible for marshalling all that crap onto the UI thread (InvokeRequired/Invoke).
If you have a 50/50 split between GUI and non-GUI code then you really have to start thinking about seperation of concerns.
I agree that in real life people can never be bothered putting decent abstraction in - its not like I even expect to move the app I'm working in from.net winforms. Still, some parts are done with an MVC pattern as different clients are going to want to do things like.. say select a machine in their own stupid way.
Yeah Photoshop is "serious software". For the image manipuation I usually do (photoshopping cocks into pictures, adding LOL captions) I find that Fireworks is a lot easier to use. Mainly because its more geared towards keeping things editable as long as possible (vector graphics, text layers, effects on elements, etc).
Whenever I use PS I always find I've accidently rasterised something I want to change. Pain in the ass.
If it makes you feel better, it has a lame name on Windows, Mac and BSD!
Truely GNU promotes all kinds of crossplatform faggotry. Or should that be Faggotry.

Yeah you are correct. Its a method call masquerading as a ternery operator. Its especially annoying because of the common use of the ternery operator is someObject == null ? default : someObject.Property
Can't do that in VB.
At least VB10 is going to have nullable support in the language rather than the clumsy Nullable(Of T) syntax. Should get the null coealesing operator too (fuck, can never spell that) (?? in C#).
Why the hell would they anyway? They make their money selling Silverlight dev tools. Its a no-brainer that they want a Silverlight runtime on as many platforms as possible.
It is definitely an integral part of the Windows platform. The IE COM component is commonly used by a variety of third party applications, in addition to some inbuilt applications.
Things like, say, the "Help" facility.
Removing it may be possible, if you want to break a bunch of stuff. I'm sure you could remove the common controls library if you really wanted to as well...
So turn off the 20W bulb in your parents basement and go upstairs and get some damn sunlight. That will offset both the power usage of a single drive and your pasty complexion.
Whats that... ten bucks a year of power? About a buck a month?
And you sit on slashdot pretending you can afford internet. GTFO.
Having pages on disk means you can use RAM for other things, such as disk cache. This makes sense when you've got "MemoryHungryAppYouArentUsing" minimised, and are using a program thats using half your RAM, and hitting a bunch of files on disk.
I prefer when I'm running my dev tools, and I want to game for a bit that even though the game and VS can fit into RAM, that Windows pages out all of VS's crap and uses the RAM as disk cache for level loading etc.
Repeat after me: Memory managers are smarter than I am.

Ram Manager issue?
Are you one of these people that thinks mallocing a whole bunch of RAM and then freeing it actually has some benefit?
Well it doesnt.

I can't stand adding coke at all... the worst I'll do to any whiskey is add dry (at a club, same reason you mentioned).
It will work just as well for the beer as it will for the wine.
This is total and utter bullshit.

Add even more information to make things more easily recognisable! Way to solve the shit-those-bastards-already-can-read-our-mangled-2d-words problem!
I find nobel ideas intriging and would very much rike to subscribe to honourable newsretter.
OP meant in a Oroborous way, not in some kind of dirty furry way.
Do that again, I double dare you!
If its hard to change to a new GUI toolkit then thats a symptom of bad application design. Which is common.

True, but you can switch the power off / move your PC, and resume it later when hibernating. Its effectively power-off.
Heard of disk caches and prefetch?
8 gig of RAM fkn rules, its cheap as hell and Vista barely touches the disk until I use an app I haven't run in a while.
Having pages on disk means you can use RAM for other things, such as disk cache. This makes sense when you've got "MemoryHungryAppYouArentUsing" minimised, and are using a program thats using half your RAM, and hitting a bunch of files on disk.
But then people might find out it was Realtek or Nvidia fucking up and won't be able to blame Micro-dollars-oft.
