This kind? Booby[^] Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I recently purchased an Asus G73jh. i7 8 thread processor 8 gig ram with 650 gig HD, 17 inch screen and backlit keyboard. Doing my development in vmware modules. couple of reasons for this first reason is personal preference really. if I have a major booboo, i can just fire up the last snapshot of my module instead of reinstalling everything. secondly is I'm working on learning Sharepoint development. For this VS must be installed on the same os as Sharepoint. So vmware with server , sharepoint 2010 and VS ultimate . This also allows me to recreate our real office environment with sharepoint on one server, SQL on another and web server on a third with AD on a fourth.. this laptop can handle all 4 modules at once with little trouble. It also handles mobile development at the same time im doing all that( working on Android apps on my own.)I kinda like it.....not cheap but worth every dime to me.

So beyond the "avoid getting bitten", rely on a doctor specializing on travels for advise. That's pretty much true. What I was really getting at is the paranoia many people have about Malaria. Catch it early and it's no worse than a mild case of the flu, and very easily treatable assuming the medicine is available. Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Next time she tells you that say "What I have to be with you?" :)

The Police have just reopened the roads, but they're covering every intersection in town with additional officers. Another 3 hours until sundown... Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Heum setting those properties once or manually emptying the recycle bin every now and then, I choose the properties so who is lazier now ? ;P

Sensible? When did I say that this was 'sensible'? I do wonder if the restaurant in question has to pay Steve Jobs license fees if they use their 'menus' to sell apples. If you don't know where you're going then ... you must belong in Project Management.

Thanks to Nick's suggestion Nick Butler wrote: Derive from Socket and override Dispose. . I managed to find the fault when I overrode Disconnect and had it dump a stack trace. The previous version of this service used WSE, the new version of this service uses WCF. In the previous version I had put a call to disconnect in the destructor to ensure that the socket got cleaned up properly. Under WCF the destructor was being invoked at an inopportune time resulting in the socket being disconnected (but not actually disposed). Various aspects to the solution, but the two main ones were: 1. Remove the 'cleanup' call to disconnect from the destructor. i.e. If you're using my service then you call the disconnect yourself. 2. Supply the decoration [OperationBehavior(TransactionScopeRequired = true)] to each method exposed by the WCF service. I just love Koalas - they go great with Bacon.

Slightly OT I always liked your sig Chris especially given my circumstances. I was married for 28 years, most of which I allowed my wife to manage the money. Basically she pyramided up debt by obtaining new credit to the point where it all blew up one day, and was the primary cause of demise of marriage. State law made me liable for 50% of all debt she racked up ( even if it was solely in her name and I was unaware of it) that neatly crushed me. Now that I've recovered, I made my recovery based on the concept of paying cash as I go. I have 1 credit card with a sufficient limit should work require me to travel, and only use it for that. Like you I save an "allowance" towards something until I can pay outright for it. For instance my "big" screen TV started going south last fall, by Christmas time I'd saved enough to get a new flat-screen I was happy with. The not having to worry about making payments if my job would be affected by the current crisis were all just icing on the cake for me. {edit}Something odd just happened and 2 posts occurred , deleted one(/edit)

Not surprising at all--declare a problem and suddenly everyone notices. Put money behind it (i.e. lawsuits, foreign aid) and everyone notices even more. (With enough money, the incentive to create a problem where none existed can become irresistible.) Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J.

Hi Maxxx, OK here's some more help: "Badness to madness" is the primary clue(s). "Our Leaders" is a clarification. Regards I just love Koalas - they go great with Bacon.

Yeah I knew someone wouldn't read it straight. So it goes like this: 1. Big earthquake somewhere in the world (7+) - out of the blue (or mini black hole) 2. Within 2 weeks another 7+ earthquake somewhere else on the planet. 3. Finish rule. So far my rule seems to work. But it's only since I've moved here to the Solomon's that I've really had to deal with it personally. Also, in a big earthquake I would definitely not feel safe in a bunk.
