Yeah, and I tried running once. It didn't work either. Just wasted my valuable time. Still can't run a marathon!
Meditation is a practice it is not a pill.
.Net is about XML Web Services, and fixing all the kludgy COM, DCOM, Win32 API mess.
With.NET, I think Microsoft is actually trying to compete!
The joker who mentioned something about "no documentation for "wire protocols" is lost - how about HTTP? SOAP? Standard stuff. If I decide to build some software on a Windows machine, and I decide to use.NET to do it (which I often do), it can easily work with your Java/Python/Perl whatever software on your MacOS/Linux/BSD whatever operating system through XML Web Services. .NET allows me to write software for a specific platform (Windows) and make it play well with other stuff out there. It's not like Java where I have to pretend my machine is a Java VM for every peice of software I write.
I like.NET for writing applications I will run on Windows. Anybody that tries to compare ASP.NET to something like PHP, or even ASP is a) only seeing part of the picture b) writing piddly-assed software, which is fine, but not what I do for a living.
Love,

I guess I'm just not buying this. During the Gulf War, Iraq had chemical weapons. Did they use them? No -- we would have flattened Baghdad so quick he would have never known what hit him. Does anybody really think Saddham Hussein is suicidal? Vengeful, even? He is a dictator that has it pretty good - if he gets so-called "weapons of mass destruction" he will only use them to increase that status, not diminish it. Right now, Israel is the big super power of "Weapons of Mass Destruction" in the area. But they are our friends, and not Arab, so...
I don't watch T.V. - but last night I was at the gym alone in an empty line of treadmills and in front of me was a line of five televisions, all tuned to different channels. Each of them were showing scenes from 9/11/01. Or, seemingly round-robin, commercials. I think the thing that strikes me so much is the "branding" of the tragedy. Every station has it's own style of logo-art (including ABC witht the 11 as towers...) and graphics and music. What demented little art school twits design this stuff? How do you get convinced that this is a viable way to make a living? Seems like it all started with the CNN kettle-drum, James Earl Jones "WAR IN THE GULF". The news seems to be about cheesey images and slogans... "a nation mourns... a nation remembers" Does anybody else seem to see a line blurring between news and entertainment? Maybe because news is so mixed with advertising in the form of CASINO ON THE WEB, and X-10 moving flash horseshit now that people don't notice...
I saw this mentioned gently in another response, but LDAP is an access protocol for directories, it isn't _the_ directory.

If.NET doesn't become cross-platform then it will be neglected by all but VB and ASP developers.
Possibly true, but that still is a metric-buttload of developers. Where I live, it's a lot easier to find work doing that then even Perl.
The Linux community really must get on board with this. IMO trying to outdo Microsoft might be possible by actually riding it's coattails on this one for a while. A web service implemented on Win2k for a bazillion dollars in hardware/license fees, etc. that could be implemented easier, cheaper and faster on Linux would be a reason to switch for a lot of people.
As somebody firmly in the Windows world, it is my feeling a lot of people don't approach Linux/BSD, etc. because it is hard for them to make the correlation between the stuff that they do/use/build with Windows and how you would do things on Linux/BSD. Lots of Windows developers got their start writing macros in Excel in VBScript.
Those who did not vote have no right to complain about the outcome
Wow. First off, who are you to say that my right of freedom is speech is dependent on my responsibility to vote? I did jury duty this year -- can I at least moan a little?
If people were confused by the ballots, then the ballots are confusing. I can see the mistake... second person listed, second hole. It is a dumb design. A lot of us may have the ability to figure it out, but the right to vote isn't dependent on your ability to figure out the layout of the ballot. NPR had an interview with a young lady that accidentally marked the wrong candidate (Patty-Patty Buke Buke), realized it, went out and asked for another ballot, and was denied -- nice.
Anyhow...
Maybe Bush and Gore should just split the job - flex-time presidency could be nice. They have the same platform... could could just refer to them as "President Bore".

Ok, so because you don't understand it, it makes everyone else obviously in a zombie-like trance because they have been indoctrinated... uhm, yeah.

Actually, one process can hold multiple apps by using appdomains. Just use J#.
Ah, it was only karma...

W. was a "fighther pilot" in the National Guard... at least until they started doing drug testing. Then he decided not to participate any longer.

This is wrong. You can use cookies for maintaining state, and that has no bearing on using get/post. Jeff
