    I have to admit, I had no interest in that film but I was flicking through the channels in a hotel in Illinois a couple of years back and stumbled into it at exactly that point. I laughed so hard it hurt and rarely stopped until the film ended. Classic. Paul

    This was one of the funniest pages I've seen in a while! Especially, the hate mail part. I guess people don't read or can't see from his FAQ that the whole thing is really a joke (but not all of it ;). People are way too serious. That's what makes the whole thing so funny.

    Welcome to string interning :) What happens is the C# compiler automatically adds any string literals to a table of strings. Each value in this table is a unique string and all hardcoded uses of that string point back to that particular string in the table. When he uses unsafe to code to modify the actual values of the string he is making modifications to the string table. The only way to accomplish this is to use unsafe code because part of the basic contract of a string object is that its contents do not change. James Sig code stolen from David Wulff

    same blond on a night flight asks a attendant how the pilot knows where he going at night when he sees nothing; the attendant doesn't no the answer, so she calls the pilot, and a few minute later, the pilot walks down the alley to the blond woman, and politely (sp?) answers : "Well, miss, you see the light at the end of the wing on your left, now, you see the light at the end of the right wing ? we simply trying to fly between the two lights !"
