I had some recently, but frankly nowadays I have trouble finding posts worth modding up. There's always plenty to mod down, but really there aren't enough mod points in the world for that. Plus modding down always seems kind of a waste of mod points.
My guess would be that the C# compiler - along with pretty much everything else that's part of Visual Studio, including VB.NET - is implemented in C++. I expect the.NET framework itself is also coded in C++
At least you managed to get it - one of the guys I work with couldn't even manage to get that far; they were charging him a subscription fee but hadn't actually managed to give him a connection.
They used to be regulated by the FSA in the UK, iirc. But then they switched their base of operation to Luxembourg, I suspect to get out of having to maintain a liquid asset balance to cover the value of any customer funds held by them - Lux law doesn't view e-money as a deposit.
The BBC uses a mixture of peering and transit connections: BBC Internet Network Information. You used to be able to look at all the bandwidth graphs on that site as well, but it looks like they've locked them to internal viewing only.
Heh, we have the same issue where I live. Now I know our town isn't huge - just over 60,000 people, I think - but really, it would be nice to have at least one cable provider.
So long as it isn't Virgin. One of the guys I work with had Virgin. Except that was the problem, he didn't. They were charging him a monthly subscription, but hadn't actually managed to lay a connection to his house yet. I think I could do without Clueless and Witless as well.
I don't know if "bailiff" has the same legal meaning in France as it does in the UK, but in the UK true bailiffs - as opposed to "debt collectors" who erroneously refer to themselves as bailiffs - are agents of the court.
It's not really a copy and paste issue, it's an "oops, we forgot to update the EULA to take in to account the fact that we're now pushing to non-Apple branded PCs as well". Or possibly "we forgot to copy the new copy of that EULA into the source repository".
.NET is the name of the framework, not the language. The languages are called C#, VB.NET, J# and F#.
J# is pretty much dead, no serious coder works in VB.NET if they have a choice - it's the language everyone takes the piss out of at MS-centric developer conferences - and F# is the OCaml like functional language which isn't actually part of the VS collection yet, but is available as a separate download. Which leaves you with C#, which is what most people work in.
Although I agree with the fact that the name was a pretty dumb choice, but we're stuck with it now. Still doesn't make the framework itself bad. It's actually very nice to work with.
.NET warms the cockles of my heart. Mostly by putting money in my bank account at the end of each month.
I'm more willing to wait for someone to prove malice. Screwing up doesn't make you immune from legal action anyway, at best it's a mitigating factor. The normal clauses in software licenses about no responsibility are unlikely to stand up in a court. IANAL etc, etc.
And yes, that is one of the things I like about OSS, potentially large numbers of people peer reviewing code. Whether those potentially large number of people bother or not is another matter.
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity"
Although in this case I think stupidity might not be an appropiate term. Unless you have oversight (either peer or some other form) it's quite easy to accidently leave deubugging code in a release. I'll hold my hand up and say I've done it; any programmer who says they haven't done it - or at least something similar - is either delusional, hasn't noticed yet or is a downright liar.
At work we're currently looking at hand held device options for an application we write for a client; the iPhone has been mentioned as a possible target device (one amongst many options being considered). If the software can only be deployed by via iTunes Store, then it scratches it as an option. Our client is very sensitive about the software we write for them - only we and them ever get to lay eyes on it. They wouldn't accept it moving through a third party.
I was kind of wondering the same thing. Although I ordered the $75 bundle and paid around $50 in shipping. Which seems a believable amount for shipping to the UK from the US.
I have friends I would never have had if it wasn't for D&D; I think that sums up what it means to me. Hours of fun and friendship. And a collection of stupid nicknames for rule books.

BT Tower (formerly the Post Office Tower) was classified as an official secret until the mid-90s, which means it didn't appear on any maps.

You're still using dynamic SQL; you should use parametrized queries.

Well at least somebody gets it.
No, you're not.
And what would the FCC be doing with Virgin Media, which is a UK company operating - afaik - entirely in the UK?
Ofcom might have something to say about it, but I wouldn't count on it.

I believe they might mean the European Union Commission. Although to be honest I live here and I had to think about it. Then gave up and Googled it.
I think you meant to say x = sqrt(y^2 + z^2)

Ah, I have to say I haven't kept track of cable here. Mostly for the reasons I mentioned, lack of provision in this area.

Calling Andrew Lloyd Webber a sell out implies he had some integrity to start off with.

...then I'll give you a shout and we can storm Television Centre and start the revolution ourselves.Assuming they haven't sold it by then.

That is useful to know, thanks :)
