    News is about ratings. Networks don't care about the actual stories.

    I knew the French were messed up, but why should a man go to jail because his wife is insulting people? Opacity, the new Transparency.

    It wasn't Friday yesterday, was it? If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much. 'Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.' Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988)

    Actually, it wasn't me saying that VS2005 didn't have it. I know that 2005 is an IDE. Which is why my question was, if he's using C# doesn't he have System.Math? But, I guess looking at it, System.Math doesn't have an average function (also generally known as mean and what Linq uses). Really, though, you don't need to have a mean function to calculate the mean, it's about as basic a function as you can write. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy thinking that any version of C# had a System.Math library.
