I agree in spirit... but how is exposing a method that takes a lambda an example of the facade pattern? If anything, I can see where the opposite would be true. If a programmer thought the lambda-based architecture was not desirable, and wrapped it with a bunch of methods for specific situations like your example, then that would be an example of the facade pattern. Is that what you meant?

lateral like transverse... you just have to add 90° to be upside-down ;) (yes|no|maybe)*

Great - ta very muchly Chris :) Nick

I posted my CV to Monster and CWJobs. I found the job quite quickly but then my employer has struggled to find people with the experience they require (C++/Qt). There are also a fair amount of permanent jobs available but very few contracts in my neck of the woods (Swindon/Bristol). Luckily I live near a main line train station so could easily commute further afield even ... gulp ... London if I *really* had to. Blogging about Qt Creator

For the ways I use my dev box, I'd just watch it heat the room :) Disk drives are not fast enough to keep up with the I/O needs of a 48-core parallel compile. You might also want to check what the per-core incremental performance benefit is as you get toward that 48th core. Years ago, I saw plots from friends studying the issue where it went negative. patbob

Are there any guidelines which suggest whether to delete or modify a question or Tip&Trick? I've just been using my judgement for now, but it would be nice to know if there's something coherent I could go by. OSDev :)

No problem! We've made the corrections and we have a green light on the Accept Answer reputation type.

There are 10 Tips in All category, 9 in C# and 6 in ASP.NET. This would mean, we need more tips and tricks posted in each category :) Sincerely, Elina Life is great!!! Enjoy every moment of it! :-O

Hi Elina, I just checked and the zip file is empty again. Just thought I'd let you know :) Nick ---------------------------------- Be excellent to each other :)

I imagine trying to build a clock whilst on horseback would be challenging. Not surprised you dropped the jousting element.
