These are testing times :-\

Uh, now I see them too in all browsers. A weird glitch that was indeed.

It's old school rock! :cool: I remembered how to MessageBox (in Client) some texts on ASP.NET... protected void ShowMessage(string message) { string msg = "alert('" + message + "');"; base.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(base.GetType(), "jsShowMessage", msg, true); } Yeah!

In normal situation you have two layers of security - first, the attacker has to access a private network and second -- he needs to login to a database. Here the second layer is gone. And if access to DB is NOT restricted to private network then... it's not good.

I'd post a link to a hilarious conical wee-wee oglaf comic but you know... google "problems with geometry oglaf" if nobody's around (nsfw).

Yep, nothing like coming back into work after 2 weeks, settling in and seeing: //TODO: fix this! public void DoSomething(){throw new NotImplementedException();} These are the moments when I realize that I'm an idiot.

Do you think replying to one of those emails would eventually take me to the point where I can unsubscribe or it gets even worse?

Or get used to use EXISTS instead of IN. EXISTS does not use three valued logic. SELECT * FROM ao_campaigns WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM orders WHERE orders.ao_campaign_id = ao_campaigns.id ) Wrong is evil and must be defeated. - Jeff Ello

arrays of 16 bit integers to store strings and bit shifting and masking to access individual characters. Always fun

I had a boss once that did not believe in comments. He felt names should be descriptive enough that you should be able to read the program and not need them. Who ever wrote this would find all their personal belongings in a brown card board box the next day. So many years of programming I have forgotten more languages than I know.

The scenario was: 1. I had designed tables with an inheritance relationship. 2. Decided that it was not a good idea 3. Removed an inheritance relationship 4. Added required IDs to the tables and set IsIdentity to true. 5. Forgot to set an identity property to "Identity". Well... Greetings - Jacek

Forget I said that. It doesn't work at all in Weven. I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

A slightly improved performance isn't good enough reason to fight with a terrible GUI every day. By terrible I mean "not taking advantage of a mouse-controlled pointer's precision" (eg. context menus displaying on the bottom of a screen instead of next to the current cursor position, and many other little painful issues).
