It was years since I thought to compress files in use (not on backup)... Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Some people have way too much time on their hands. :thumbsup:

I'm afraid I've put together enough PCs in my time to know better than to expect to be entertained by watching others do just that.

The world is always coming to an end. Everything new is always destroying us somehow. And there are always pikers trying to sound self-important about it.

This movie can only be shown in adult theaters in Wales. At least that's what I gathered by reading here over the years.

Or: the point in life where there are no more phone calls to ignore, not even from your parents.

One of the consequences of Hurricane Sandy is that I've learned to let go of things. I'm still much of a pack rat but nothing like before. I can say this - a domain I used, forwarded to a particular website was released because they website name changed slightly with the merger of two groups into one. After a year I let it go and it now is in use, sadly, by a Bangkok based domain hoarder who links them to online gambling sites. The choice of this domain, aside from still appearing comparatively high on certain searches, makes no sense Ravings en masse^ "The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." - Albert Einstein "If you are searching for perfection in others, then you seek disappointment.

See, I thought he was one of those Cylon hybrids. I was ready to find a ship to plug him into, due to the fact that U.S. Navy has a tendency to collide with the biggest objects afloat these days. This might be an improvement to their navigation S.O.P..... :)

Well, it's not news. Poof Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

Incidentally, I use a Surface [3?] tablet daily as part of a project. Not impressed, especially with the moronic screen aspect ratio it uses. Then again, I'm not a fan of most tablets.

Apologies for hijacking the post but I was just panning round the map when I was attracted to the area of the US from west of Washington DC in a south westerly direction down to Birmingham, Alabama. That area can only have been created by water erosion, but can you imagine the amount of water that would have been required. They were very turbulent times at the end of the last Ice Age.

The benefits would probably be more obvious if you were passing around the base Stream class. That way, your methods could work with anything stream-like, and wouldn't be limited to byte arrays. private static Stream DecorateStream(Stream input, IEnumerable<Func<Stream, Stream>> decorators) { Stream result = input; foreach (Func<Stream, Stream> decorator in decorators) { result = decorator(result); } return result; } ... var decorators = new List>(); if (useDecryption) decorators.Add(decryptor); if (useDecompression) decorators.Add(decompressor); using (Stream input = DecorateStream(File.OpenRead(filePath), decorators))) { result = (T)dcs.ReadObject(input); } Now your code can work on the file in chunks, rather than having to read the whole thing into memory first.
