My daughters' dog is an omnivore - it eats slippers, underwear, and anything else it finds. It will occasionally even eat its dog food.
(Changing the dog food hasn't worked, and my daughters have made it clear that in a showdown between me and the dog - the dog wins. )
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I don't know, but my dog and I both like the taste of roasted herbivores

I have noticed that sometimes we are given 10 points on a up vote on articles while sometimes we get higher points on a vote, how this actually works?
|
|
|
|
|
Votes are weighted by the reputation of the person voting: a very low rep user may only give 2 points, a very high rep voter could give more - up to 25 or so I think, but don't quote me on that!

Why there is nothing in the page that Richard referenced ?

Other than the bit at the top of the page, you mean?
Quote: The more a member's reputation increases within a given category, the more their votes count towards other members when voting on items within that reputation category.
For example, a member with a high Authority ranking (someone who answers a lot of questions) but a low Author ranking (they don't post many articles) will have their vote counted strongly when voting on answers, but not so strongly when voting on articles.

He's 95, at this point his only official duty should be breathing.

I am currently reading, Dependency Injection in .NET[^]
I think the title sounds terribly limited, but just the first chapter is worth reading this book.
Also, interesting that Amazon doesn't have the ebook available because I'm reading it on my SafariBooks bookshelf.
This book does a great job of tying together patterns to real world code and shows some terrific examples even here in the first chapter.
Have any of you read it? It's very good. Even if you've read a lot about DI this is worth the read because it makes you contemplate it from some new angles.
It's written very well, very clearly.

I read it about a month ago and it is excellent at explaining Dependency Injection and the rationale behind it. However, note that the book is 5 years old and the entire chapter devoted to the Unity container is badly out of date.
Nevertheless, it is very worthwhile to read, especially when you start out with an application framework like Prism.

Thanks for the warning on that. I noticed the book was a bit older and wondered what parts that might affect.

The same may apply to the chapter covering MEF, but I did not read it as I am only interested in the Unity container at the moment.

That would be my focus also, as we are using Unity here.
So far, the author is covering the aspects of DI that I've noticed and questioned but not seen touched upon in such a clear way in other places. There are some things you get from Unity for example (like object lifetime that you can just take for granted).
Also, his simple first explanation of the decorator pattern was very cool.
I like books that give me a fresh angle like this.

Quote: (like object lifetime that you can just take for granted). Yes, but I like to specify the ContainerControlledLifetimeManager whenever it is not too restrictive. With this lifetime manager, it is just easier to implement the IDisposable interface in your classes. As far as I know it is the only option you have in Unity to guarantee the Dispose() method will fire when you dispose of the container.
