  1. Re:A funny parallel on Scientists Debate Robotic Hubble Mission · · Score: 1

    Though, on the second thought, this problem doesn't involve robots.

    Yeah? You'd be surprised how hard-headed those car mechanics can be.

    You gotta hand it to Toyota though, they sure build cars to last.

  2. Tip of the day! on Thin CRTs to Challenge LCDs in 2005 · · Score: 1

    If you have something relevant to say, (like you did, your story was on-topic and somewhat informative) try not to post it under AC (Anonymous Coward). The /. crowd is not very keen on modding up AC and this way fewer people get to read your story, even if it is a worthy read.

    No, C# was made so Microsoft could make money off Java. By changing the name, and some keywords, they can market the next OO language to a bunch of people who never learned C++.

    Haha, with such incredible lack of knowledge I am not surprised you checked the AC box. :)

    Amazing, how can you say that, the guy is Technical Director for crying out loud. If the game is not all that good, you say is not "his fault".

  6. Half-Life 2 vs. Doom 3 on Half-Life 2 Ship Date Confirmed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Boy, I really hope this game delivers, cause months after the doom 3 release people finally dare to admit that the game simply did not deliver without being called a troll. And that's an understatement; big parts of the game were simply no fun at all. Just an ordinary shooter with nothing new and different aside from the fact that it just looked damn pretty.

    I can't wait for HL 2, Carmack has left allot of open territory.

    Are you kidding? Compile time inheritance? Add a reference to your project when you start developing it, inherite your global.asax (the HttpApplication) from the one in your own base classes and compile ... what does that have to do with 11 domains 11 firewalls ... blabla ... ??

    During compile the dll of the base class it uses is being compied to the output directory of your project. Simple. So, with an adjustment such as this you only need to adjust and deploy your base classes dll.

  11. Re:'Just a patch' is something of a misnomer on Microsoft Issues Ominous ASP.Net Security Warning · · Score: 1

    I manage eleven ASP.NET sites and five C# Windows Forms applications.

    I write C# to, and lots of it that is. But we had to fix it once, you see, we use a thing called reusabillity, where we let the global.asax in each web app inherite from the HttpApplication implementation in our main product.

    Ok, I was a little sarcastic, but the point is, if you have eleven asp.net sites, you seriously need to consider base implementations for things like global.asax and default asp.net page objects. I would go so far as to say that none of your objects in your sites inherite from a .NET base class. They all inherite from your core product, with which you prevent problems like these ...

    My gf bought one of these things a couple of days ago, when this statement was released the Dutch news networks thought it was important enough to put in the news on the radio. So I heard it driving home from work.

    The first thing I did when I got home was telling the misses that that tune she always hears when the phone is actually ringing on the other side (when every phone user already has the thing to his ear) was not here to stay.

    I am not sure if this is how it's done with every Siemens but with her it was menu option 3.8.3 (or Sound Options -> Other Tunes -> Connection Tune (on/off). Get rid of it.
