      Obviously the weapon choice is down to the caller. For the more adventurous evil villain, the Conquer method has an overload that takes an array of weapons. [Although in the new 1.2 beta due out next week you can pass a generic IEnumerable<IWeaponOfMassDestruction>]

      So we need an Inversion of control container...

      Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

        Why would you dispose of the DeathRay after the world has been conquered? The typical mistake of a novice conqueror - you have to have something to keep the masses down once you conquered them... :-D Didn't you learn anything from that Family Guy episode where they destroyed all their guns and then were attacked by mutated Stewie's offspring?

                      lack of motivation leads to lack of doing work. Lack of doing work leads to unemployment. Lack of jobs on the market while unemployed leads to deep $@#(*&$.

                                  Actually, he says it depends on the kind of work. If work requires creativity, pay rise neccessarily does not lead to better output. Where as routine work does require pay raise to increase output.
