Why Weven rocks today
-
No real reason other than it was released to the unwashed masses. I just thought I'd get in a preemptive strike before the avalanche of negativity pounded us into submission.

Have you tried using the alternate download site? 1:20min for me at lunchtime yesterday.

I can't because his my Expression subscription is not an MSDN subscription and there is, therefore, no alternate site. I've actually exchanged emails with a MSDN guy about the sheer stupidity of disallowing Expression Pro subscribers from using the MSDN download page, and he essentially agreed that it was stupid. However, Microsoft has never demonstrated any interest in what their users think, so Ianticipate no change in the state of things. I'm on the phone at this very moment with Customer (dis)Service, and the guy put me on hold for a few minutes, and then came back and told me to go to the subscriber download page. I headed him off and told him that Expression Pro subscribers can't use that download page, and he seemed surprised. He also said I was the FIRST person to call about the download problem. I guess the designers weren't aware it was available, or they just chalked up any download problems they had as "business as usual" at Microsoft.

Does the scanner use TWAIN or WIA?

If anybody here was going to claim suckage on Weven, it would be me, but I happen to like it for the most part. Until I find something that sucks about it, I'll just have to continue finding suckage in Visual Studio and WPF.

This looks to be an excellent time to stay away from here for the next month or so until the wars are over and all that's left are the people who are still bitching here publicly about stuff that is "stupid" or "broken" or "buggy" that turns out to be stuff they should have already picked up on as "professional" developers when they should have been reading all the application programming guides for 7 but were still too busy posting here about how much Vista Sucks because it won't let their apps puke all over the file system or registry any more and how stupid all these changes are that "break" their apps. They'll bitch about that stuff all over again as if they are entitled to be bad, lazy shameless programmers their whole career and should *not* (god forbid) have to actually roll up their sleeves and actually learn a single new thing since they got their last job. *That* part of the Lounge new software rant cycle is always fun! :)

Amen to that! Me stay away too as I have enough frustration trying to satisfy clients (who really don't understand what they want or need). Don't need idiots bashing things they really don't understand to begin with (such as outdated and buggy firmware resulting in an OS error message, somehow being the fault of the OS, DUH!).

Errm - I don't think you'll ever find a post from me stating that C or C++ code is stupid or backwards. Perhaps if you removed your head from your own distorted, conspiracy filled arse for a while, you'd find that I have nothing but respect for C/C++ coders; after all, I spent the best part of 15 years coding in one or the other of them. Still - we expect nothing less from you, so we'll continue to sit back and let you rave, spit and foam, while we continue to crank out applications quickly and get paid for them.

fanboi is an internet word similar to pwn or woot. Fanboy is what happens when proper english speaking people try to mimic what they hear/see on the internet. Fanboi came first. Fanboy was a misspelling that has gotten widely adopted by the ignorant (and blissful). similiarly, people who verbalize pwn as "pone" (or pwnd as "poned") are doing such out of ignorance rather than knowledge.

Why do I associate the word 'rocks' with the word 'flounders'? :rolleyes:

Errm - fanboy was used long before the birth of the internet. I remember people being Kirk or Spock fanboys back when I was a child - which definitely predates the Internet. Sorry to burst your internet fuelled bubble here, but not everything was invented by hip and trendy teens on the web.
