Been a little absent the past couple days, on Tuesday Mrs. Wife and I went to get induced. Well 22 hours later on 1/29 @ 12:46 am our first kid Emma Adalyn was born. 8lb 14oz (4.02kg), a lot bigger than anybody had expected considering the wife was only 3 days overdue. The wife is doing ok considering she had to be taken to surgery right after the baby made her appearance. She had to get a blood transfusion last night and I'm heading back there now. Anyway, as soon as I get her typing, I'll get her coding. Reserve member 129201446 for her :).

CP isn't affiliated with MS, and if you look at the links for advertising with CP you'd see that the ad revenue network is much bigger than just this site, they have an entire entity (Developer Media) set up to handle it. Chris doesn't pay the hamsters very much, so they moonlight in Kia Soul commercials[^]. Chris should be careful though, the latest commercial[^] shows they lost a lot of cheap hamster feed weight and are attending movie premiers. I figure soon they will be discovered and CP will go dark.

Given a sufficient amount of data you can draw nearly any conclusion you want. For example, its proven that 100% of people killed in car accidents walked through a door earlier in the day. Or there is a very compelling link between breathing air and every known disease on earth. 100% of people who drink water will die. Etc.. Its impossible to do a 100% sterile study on humans since its pretty much illegal to birth one, keep it in a test box, and submit them to a single stimulus and study the response.

That book won't help, Dave is 100% right, this needs to be done at the driver level and isn't a good fit for C# at the moment. There are libraries out there that help write drivers in C#, but they are entirely experimental and very poorly documented.

At least the plugin makes Arduino bearable, the default IDE is pretty annoying.

Enjoy :)[^] I dislike the Arduino IDE myself, but there are ways to program the Arduino using Visual Studo or Atmel Studio, like the plugin above.

When the owners require them to run for 30+ years to get a good ROI, they tend to keep them extremely clean. The only rigs I've been on that were really nasty were the ones that were scrapped then bought for pocket change and put back into service.

Entertainment room could use some improvement. Overall a lot nicer than the rigs I've been on, I usually get on the exploration/initial well rigs. A lot of Diamond and Transocean rigs mostly, and all floaters so pool table is out of the question :). They are really spoiling you with the sauna though!

You would be surprised how many have this feature built in :)

So why does it correctly render in the preview, but get mangled after submit? Shouldn't the system change everything between the pre tags into HTML-compatible stuff? I can only imagine what kind of giant PITA it would be to go through a 25+ line XML/XAML file and change every < > into its html escape code. I thought that was the purpose of pre tags?

I must be in the wrong business, I don't know how a company can operate in the red without any products and continue for more than the amount of time it takes the banks to file enough paperwork to shut it down. I worked for a company that was operating in the red, there were months (in a row) we didn't get paid. One day the VP came in and told me not to leave any personal property at work that night, the next day the company assets were going to be seized. Luckily another company came in and bought the company for the outstanding debt the next day and a few months later we all got paid. The company you are speaking of was either just starting out, reorganizing, or it had something that allowed it to continue operating or put enough in the coffers to coast for a while. Payroll can't be taken out of an empty bank account.

Are you asking for specific implementation details, or are you just wanting the questions asked? It looks a lot like homework to me, is that correct?

Whenever you insert XML into a Q&A answer, it removes all capitalization. Since you don't have an XAML language type, using <pre lang="xml"> removes all the capitalization inside the tags. This is a problem when posting answers about xml configuration files since the attributes inside an xml tag is case-sensitive. It doesn't allow the user to copy/paste XML/XAML from an answer into code. See Convert this XAML in Code[^], I had posted the answer with XAML that has capitalized tags and attributes, but when submitting it turns it all lower case. [Edit] The preview at the bottom shows the code block is correct, with the proper capitalization, but after submitting the capitalization is removed. Choosing to "Improve Answer" shows that the text inside the edit box has the capitalization removed so something after submitting is transforming the text to lower case.

Why not just use Xamarin[^], really isn't that expensive if your app isn't too big. Most of your code base would be reusable and all programmable in C#.

Not sure what version of VS2013 you are using, but under the Analyze menu, you can select "Calculate Code Metrics for Project/Solution" which displays the cyclomatic complexity and other metrics. VS Ultimate has had that feature at least since VS2010.

I mean companies that we are in the business of, not a lot of investment bankers hang out on CP :) And to me, a risk is something that can cost you everything, otherwise they are closer to "experiments".

Obviously you are an engineer and not a manager! :)

I'll be meeting all the deadlines on this project.

Are you kidding? Every developer knows that when a product goes into Beta is when users start requesting (demanding) features and UI changes :)
