Doesn't sound like it's anything the tester could have tested if it's a system date related issue. If the date was data the tester entered I agree, but that's not how I read it.

It means you passed a test to qualify for membership. This test supposedly tells you your IQ. I'm a member, for the record. I looked through the membership directory at one point long ago and saw that Piers Anthony[^] was also a member. Of course, the people that have posted insults probably consider him a loser too, despite his dozens of best selling novels. I'd be willing to bet there are many respectable geeks that are members. The best thing about membership is being able to talk to other intelligent people that don't feel important by insulting people on message boards.

I'd have asked for a bucket of water, but whatever...

Silverlight and ASP.NET don't require much in-depth HTML knowledge. I know only a couple of tags that I usually use in forums and have HTML enabled. There really shouldn't be a need for HTML these days IMO.

I stopped reading after this. X| :thumbsdown:

Maybe it's just me, but using code that could cause an exception would mean that I'd rewrite it to not cause an exception. Why wouldn't you just do something like:

try
{
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt");
string data = sr.ReadToEnd();
string[] lines = data.Split(Environment.NewLine.ToCharArray());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

Why?!? Why does everyone think creating a web app is the solution to every problem? :( :sigh: :doh:

So how much less could you care? Am I a geek for letting this bother me? In any case - 34.31734% - Total Geek.

Have used it, don't plan to.

And you're doing this because on-line petitions are soooo useful and will cause the government to take immediate action, right?! :rolleyes: :~:thumbsdown:

I just threw up a little in my mouth. X|

I didn't think that kind of a display existed in the workplace any more. That's more of a horror than the code! :omg:

For general application development there's no reason to use C (or C++). Long live C#!

I have dual monitors at work and can't imagine how I survived without them. I don't have them at home and it's actually now a pain to get stuff done. My usual setup is VS in my left monitor and other things (web page being worked on, SQL Server Mgmt Studio, etc.) in the right window.

Must just be you. I can't recreate the scenario you posted and VS 2008 hasn't crashed on me once yet.

In my personal stuff and at work we don't use them if there's some other type of separator between label and value (color around the label for example). There has to be some visual separator between the two.

No doubt

I'm in the same boat as Christian. After about 10 years my experience was enough to keep me employed when I changed jobs (I was doing contract work for a while).

What company isn't like that though?

It's not about having or not having a backup, it's about personal data that was lost by Best Buy that could be used for identity theft. Granted, she could have asked them to take out the hard drive and give it to her since the problem had nothing to do with it.
