  1. Re:My first question would be... on Microsoft Open Sources .NET Micro Framework · · Score: 1

    And the browser hosted Silverlight which has its own version of the .NET framework.

    Sure you can. Create your own hyperlink control inheriting from the one in ASP.NET and exclude writing the id.

  3. Re:LINQ is over-hyped on Inside Visual Studio 2008 · · Score: 2, Informative

    from n in mylist
    where (n => n < 10)
    select (n => n)
    That is just poor code. A more elegant example using LINQ would be:

    mylist.Where(n => n < 10)

    I have been using LINQ for the past couple of months and have found it fantastic.

    Actually MySpace runs on .NET - Handling 1.5 Billion Page Views Per Day Using ASP.NET 2.0

    Apparently the move to ASP.NET went quite well with CPU usage dropping from 85% to 27% according to that post.

  5. Only the first reading on New Zealand DMCA Moves Forward · · Score: 5, Informative

    Although the bill passed with an overwhelming margin, that doesn't mean a lot of the MPs will support it next time it comes up for vote. In New Zealand MPs often support a bill in its first reading because they feel it requires more thought and debate.

    For example recently a bill to raise the New Zealand drinking age to 20 was passed in its first reading by a large margin before being voted down in the second - MPs back off from drinking age hike

  7. Copy Source as HTML on Best Weblog Application for Posting Source Code? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you're using Visual Studio and you want your code snippits to look like they do in the IDE then I highly recommend the Copy Source as HTML plugin. It takes your code and produces a very clean HTML copy, correctly indented and colored, which you can then paste into your post.

    You can see an example of it in a blog post here.

  8. Re:Only if you started with ten billion on John Dvorak's Eight Signs MS is Dead in the Water · · Score: 1

    Initially Microsoft was contributing and improving Java (heard of J++?) but Sun sued them for it. It was then Microsoft went and created it's own solution (.NET).

  9. Re:OS X gaming largely unaffected... on PC Games Go To Boot Camp · · Score: 1

    I wrote a post on this a couple of days ago. I suspect the increased competition from Windows software combined with Apple's small install base could be quite negative for Mac developers. http://www.newtonsoft.com/blog/archive/2006/04/08/ 38.aspx No one is going to stop selling what they already have. Most of the cost of software is the development. Not developing new software is pretty much the equivalent of leaving the market.
