I personally wouldn't have much use for it (at least not now), but you never know who might. So write that article and publish it, it never hurts (when the article is of sufficient quality ;P )

I'm not making any judgment call, just relaying my own story... I've paid $600 years ago for a used projector that can "only" do 1024x768; according to one of its menus, I've now got over 2300 hours on the same bulb...it's actually been telling me (since I went over 2000 hours) that I should replace the bulb if the picture looks dim, but since day one, I've always had the brightness set to less than half of what it can do. I suspect this helps in preventing it from wearing out prematurely (though that's certainly not the reason I reduced the brightness), and I'm still very pleased with the picture anyway. Of course technically speaking it simply cannot compare to anything (projector or otherwise) that can do 1080p, but it definitely qualifies as good enough for me, and that for a $600 8-feet across picture, I got my money's worth out of it. And I'd do it all over again. I've seen the $10,000 setups, and I don't see it happening... modified on Friday, September 18, 2009 4:43 PM

:-O ta - I missed that too - I just picked up on the post implementation 'discussion' 'g'

Thanks - had to laugh and print it out for my wall. The worst offenders of hard to maintain seem to be people who aren't programming in old dusty code where good practice (comments, well named variables) are lifelines to what was done and why. Or a consulting engineer who refused to comment code because he said comments were always wrong - out of date - see the code! And wrote frightfully elegant code that was very difficult to figure out.

Yes, You are right. :)

A simple example would be to write something that would keep track of your workouts and your caloric intake, and it would still be up to you to do the rest of the work so that you can lose the weight.

LOL, let me know what you think. ;) I'm still evaluating it myself, but and it does have a couple drawbacks (i.e. the isolator is a 'wrapper' program that must be running for method intercepts and the like to function during execution, and it costs money). When it comes to testing locked-down legacy code, though, its truely unique.

I was accessing the John also, but it was to build this statue... ;P Gary

what would you gain if you publish it? what would you gain if you won't publish it? if it can help then by god don't hesitate. cheers :D Life - Dreams = Job TheCardinal CTC-RDG

I am honestly touched. Wow. Thanks. Just busy. very important stuff. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

I entered that a few times in my youth. I even had an obscutator program that would generate a txt image out of your code based on an rgb image (okay, I was on an SGI at the time). :) my personal favorite though was an obscutated self encrypted data in which the text was encrypted so you had no idea what the data was or what the program would do with it, until you ran the program. :) ahhh youth.... :) now I just draw pretty pictures.... ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

the men from the boys for sure just think if they had to know how to create a make file or build a library from scratch. David

One thing which is overlooked is that the license for MVC, unlike ASP.NET, states that you can't run the code on Linux machine. So if you want to use Mono you have a problem with MVC.

That would be Nissan's version.
