There is no separate forum to discuss PWA development

Whilst I don't disagree with you re:CSS, in that example you've given it could be easily achieved using JS / jQuery. It's simply a case of picking the right language for the job. Of course as others have picked up on, doing that might cause all sorts of strange behavior once you start looking at the various sizes of screens your page may show up on, from 1 inch watches to 100 inch projectors. You just can not be sure of the scale your user will be using.

Why is this crude humor funny to begin with (for us who like it)? Because it has a kernel of truth in it, although warped to an absurd level. If it had no mapping to reality it wouldn't be funny, and purely offensive. Those stereotypes are correct to some extent. They were once based on facts about a group of people, and then exaggerated over time. But I think that most people know that individuals can be very far from their group stereotype. It's the same as how the first impression of someone can be totally wrong. So I don't buy your idea about discrimination. That's also why I don't agree with people who have a victim mentality, overly sensitive and not accept getting offended by anything. To live is to be offended by things. People in a weaker position shouldn't be off limits to ridicule, as long as that ridicule is funny. Take that Tetris game. Those are migrants looking for a better life, not refugees running away from a war zone. There are hardly any women or children in those boats; they have left the most needy behind. But out of political correctness we aren't allowed to say this, which makes it very funny when someone makes a game about it. It becomes funny because you are not allowed to make a game like this.

My post is in regard to your symptoms, rather than the concept of burn-out. I often have the same feeling: a feeling of mental dullness and a vague sensation of a fly walking on my head. I haven't seen a specialist about it yet, but in my opinion it is from lack of blood flow to my brain -- a lack of glucose and oxygen and a build-up of the byproducts of metabolism. A drink of water, eating, exercising and deep breathing seems to help, as does meditation or doing an activity that uses a different part of my brain -- something involving feeling and movement rather than reasoning. I know that I tend to have low blood pressure, and I believe that is a factor. I found a book in the library that you might find interesting. It is titled "Preventing Alzheimer's" by William Shankle and Daniel Amen, published in 2004. Good luck.

Ha! Having lived in Northern Canada just off the Alaska highway through many -40c winters I have had the same dream. I seriously contemplated many times the potential of covering the entire city of Fort St. John in a giant clear dome. Fortunately I did the practical thing and simply moved to Vancouver Island in the ever-mild pacific ocean. I'm still fascinated with the idea though, keep the dream alive!!

I tend to be overly open about sensitive subjects, and I understand that some people can find that annoying or offensive. I mean no harm, I just feel that we humans need to discuss sensitive subjects to be able to mature and grow. Keeping the lid on, is the very reason we dont understand eachother and that we cant bond and view a thing from multiple perspectives. Perhaps a guy is religiously pro death penalty and I'm against, and we can both appreciate eachother's opinion and grow in respect of eachother. I'm not on a crusade, I'm here to learn. This is hardly the place to be stubborn about the issue, so I rest my case. I respect your rules, and I thank everyone for the time they took with me. :-) Marc Clifton wrote: You didn't answer my question about why you haven't posted your question in the SB.

Thanks for the reply Christian. Lets continue the discussion in the Soapbox some other time, ok? Regards, Björn Morén Stockholm, Sweden

No it's not stream based. You have to navigate to a file on disk or the Internet to avoid trust issues. It's just a rehash of Lutz Roeder's code: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=%23%2487PZ4pBHA.1860%40tkmsftngp04&rnum=8[^] Plus implementing UI interfaces described in: http://www.codeproject.com/books/0764549146_8.asp#xx592237xx[^] And finally removing any dependancies on mshtml and the auto-generated AxHost by disassembling those APIs and pasting the relevant interfaces into the source code. No big deal if you are a lot into PInvoke (I'm not). But this is exactly what I want in my project, and I guessed some others would be interested too. Regards, Björn Morén Stockholm, Sweden

If I'm in the wrong "mood", I can build up an adrenaline level that is just terrible. For instance, I tried doom 3 at the wrong time, and had to stop after 25 minutes. I was stoned on adrenaline, I kid you not! Terrible feeling. :~ -- ...Coca Cola, sometimes war...

Python allows similar multiple function returns and assignments. As the Python developers will tell you, they are mearly implemented as "syntactic sugar." There's no need for such to bleed down to the lower implementation level in this case either. I've only been messing with C# for a short time but since I tend to use a lot of Win32 API calls more than multiple assignment I'd find useful a tool where I could put the cursor on one of those all caps DEFINES and have it paste in a const with the correct value from one of the Windows.h includes. Hunting that stuff down and typing in const declarations is the pits! :) What a waste of time!

VS.NET knows nothing more than what the WSDL tells it, so even if you exposed an XML Web Service created in Java, a DataSet-like schema should still create a typed DataSet. Even if it doesn't, nothing is stopping you from created a typed DataSet as we discussed before. If you're interested in how the classes work, I suggest you learn how to at least read MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language, extensions to Common IL) and use ildasm.exe from the SDK to examine the classes, or use a decent decompiler like .NET Reflector[^], although sometimes it can't properly decompile the IL so you have to resort to reading IL in those cases, anyway. It's how I learned so much about the internal workings, and can provide insight into better ways of coding your classes by seeing how Microsoft does things, as well as designing your classes to better utilize the FCL knowing how things work internally.
