  • Data contract free serialization in WCF [modified]
    R Ryan Roberts

    Has anybody got this to work? I have 3.5 SP1 installed and from a fresh 3.5 WCF service project it throws the good old 'Consider marking it with the DataContractAttribute attribute, and marking all of its members you want serialized with the DataMemberAttribute attribute' exception. The type in question has been added to the datacontractserializer's known types.

  • Britain not doing enough to fight international terrorism

    It is imperative that the UK has its own military industry and it is better that it is allied with the rest of Europe

    Why? their equipment is generally inferior and more expensive. Not to mention being wrapped up with a project that threatens our sovereignty. Of course there are multiple considerations in military spending, including preserving a native defence industry, but pork barrel shouldn't be the main one..

    fat_boy wrote:

    Why? Because it is impossible for a UK firm to win a US military contract in return.

    You are talking bollocks, we do plenty of defence subcontracting with the US. Complete major projects like a fighter jet, no.

    See it as a funding.

    Bribing people with their own money is not sound economics. Maintaining our ability to develop weaponry requires government subsidy, but not waste and graft on such a massive scale.

    No. I read that being 345M$ (F-22) and 80-100M$

    You read wrong (though all military costing is up for interpretatation), incremental cost of F22 to the USAF is $133 million, we sold Typhoon to the Sauds for £120M an aircraft. What the flyaway price of a Raptor would be is hard to guess, as the US isn't selling.

    Actually, the eurofigther is quite good.

    Not for the price or the delivery date, it was a good aircraft in 1985. It's now comparable in cost to the F-22 ($120M), and far far less capable as an air superiority fighter. The F-35 costs much less, is navalised and probably only slightly inferior to the typhoon in air to air combat, minus the stealth advantage. The next massive EU cock up in an attempt to me too the Yanks will be Gallieo, soon likely to be introduced by fiat as part of their road safety mandate, or as part of some green road pricing stitch up.

    Its reprehensible that we have such close dealings with the Sauds and their disgusting theocracy, one that is also the primary source of funding for the dissemination of the Salafi Islam that provides much of the ideological justification for 'international' terrorism. Brownshirt is happily continuing to sell our soul to offload a few crappy eurofighters from a program we should have dumped a decade ago. Good on the Liberal Democrats for refusing to meet the delegation.

    Oh Jebus. You really think hallucinogens provide anything other than illusory insight? Messing with subjective experience by modifying your chemistry can be fun (though not necessarily for others if they are a crazy arsehole like yourself) but they do not make your thoughts any more profound. It's naval gazing, not exploration.

    Another huge con is the corrosive side effect of such a huge (5 billion) black market in itself. You have a situation where local economies of inner city areas are largely dependent on a combination of drug trade and welfare. 'Gangsta' culture is not an irrational choice in such an environment.

    one who currently smokes legally be allowed to continue to smoke and everyone who is currently too young to smoke be prevented from ever doing so. This can be achieved by raising the age at which tobacco can be purchased by one year every year. In addition hypothecation of tobacco sales taxes directly to programmes to help those who want to stop smoking should be considered.

    This will just create a black market, a pre existing one has quite an influence on the uptake of cigarette smoking as it is. Legality is hardly an issue for adolescent consumption of other substances. Most people I know who smoked or smoked in my generation started smoking cigarettes after smoking cannabis.

    I was going to post this one myself, it made me piss vinegar when I read it. was trying to avoid FB style ranting on a theme though :) Seeing the word 'Libertarian', rare enough in UK politics used in a oxymoron - 'Libertarian paternalism' near tipped me over the edge with its audacity. I wonder if I can purchase a license that allows me to strangle this government advisor in his sleep? Thankyou for approving of the smoking ban everyone, this was obviously where a significant proportion of our political class wanted it to lead.

    "We have to try to help people stop smoking without encroaching on people's liberties"

    Which goes to show he has no concept of what liberty is. Orwellian is a much over used term, but Christ it is tempting in this instance with the blatant redefinition of the language of freedom.

    I guess it depends on your codebase and how whether you have developers assigned to discrete areas. Merge doesn't require intervention 99% of the time, once you get used to it you care less about editing the same files. I can see how that would be worrying though.
