What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
|
|

It remind me when I wrote
static bool Is<T>(this T obj);
with reflection...
Then a friend of mind said : WTF have you written that ? instead of "obj is T".
The worse of it is that I had no idea why I did something so stupid... wanted to blame somebody else, but the source control history pointed at me. 
|
|
|
|
|
Did you mean static bool Is<T>(this object obj);?
Because T obj is... always... T as far as I can tell! 
Good one anyway!
|

|
|
yes it was this object good point

I can imagine a use for something like this when implementing Undo/Redo.

I loved DOS, after having to load 6 floppy disks for a program; DOS was the most amazing thing ever.
Then Windows 3.11 came along; not only did I get a windowed experience, but also a networked one as well.
Then Windows 95; glorious improvements in graphics. I remember I just had to have it because it was futuristic.
It wasn't until College that I fell in love with Windows 98 for the compatibility of everything new.
In my 3rd year of college Windows XP came out. Before this point the average person didn't really have a computer, and I considered XP to be a joke. Most to the same way I saw Windows Millennium Edition and including Vista on top of that.
At the time vista came out I was forced to upgrade to Windows XP, then did so without ever updating the thing, and gave up on trying to control the IRQ's.
While using windows 7, my first reaction was to hate windows 8.
That's when I noticed a pattern that the only reason I didn't like something was my resistance to change.
I also consider the only reason XP did so well was the lack of devices in the common home.
Now I fear that every reason to love Windows 8 will never be known and the quick response of people will kill off a technology that has barely come to light.

Wrong forum. How about putting it on your blog?
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Which forum should I use?

It was Microsoft that advertised that I should be engaged with this website. As you are well respected by the public, and because it is in public view; what is wrong with opinions you don't like?

Nothing, as long as they remain just that: opinions. When they become trolling...

Windows 98 to Windows XP could be considered a downgrade lol.
I never used Vista, at the time Vista came out I was still using Windows 98.

Are you kidding? 98 was the worst OS they ever did except for Windows Millenium. 98 was just 95 with a bunch of extras and all those fancy extras just caused problems.
XP was the first stable OS. I still use it. It works great.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

XP could not control the IRQS and that was an extreme downgrade.

It'll all be OK when Windows 9 is released

Windows OneCore; rebranded "Windows RT" or Windows Metro.
OneCore is the basis for Xbox One, Windows Phone, and Metro.
Windows OneCore well bring more experience to world you do not like.

You like Win8 - we get that.
The rest of the world (pretty much) thinks it's a huge waste of HDD space and is waiting patiently for it to die a quiet death and be buried in an unmarked electronic grave, unmourned.

I disagree.
Why does it need a grave? Can't we just incinerate it and not waste more electronic real estate interring it? It doesn't deserve that much respect.
Come on, people... Let's be efficient!

So ColborneGreg has somewhere he can go every year and cry?

That's simultaneously sad and sad, for both possible meanings of "sad".
|
|

|

Incinerate it?
Why not just leave the road-pizza-wanna-be for the crows to pick at?

I get that you don't like it, and everyone that comes in contact with it does not like it.
That is until I show them what it can do, I wish I had the opportunity to show you.
