There was an accident yesterday, and a woman driving a newer Toyota (which was involved) was seriously injured as the AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF!
First Gas Pedals, now Airbags.
No news online at this time. Will post link if I can find one.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Back in my day we didn't have air bags. No seat belts neither. Kids these days have gone soft, I tell ye.

When PIE were a lad, he had to push up hill, jump in and let it roll down the other side (a Rolls Canardly I think).

I also used to say - "back in my days". But then I realized that I am still around; and "this is also my day".

I was reading the description of something described as vintage on eBay yesterday and it said "many many years ago in the 1980s and 1990s".

But you also had to pedal it by foot and couldn't go more than 10 MPH anyway.

Buncha slackers these days. They used to be truly epic.[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Continuing the tale of my diving into ASP.NET Razor for this Department of Public Works project...
jQuery is awesome
Mike Brind[^] is awesome. His articles on Razor and inline grid editor, even though they are for MVC 3, were invaluable. Got a full inline editing WebGrid up and running with add and delete row capability, all using jQuery's post and ajax functions, and using MVC 4. (I hope MVC 5 doesn't have such annoying breaking changes.)
Speaking of which AJAX is cool. I come from a background of maintaining an older Ruby on Rails app where everything requires a page refresh. Yuck. It is really really cool to be doing posts/gets to the server without having to reload the page.
C# / Razor is great. Ah, what a relief not to be working in RoR and using some "real" tools.
I also signed up for a really cheap web hosting service, we'll see how it goes before I give it a thumbs up/down indicator.
Also, after reading about how AngularJS 2.0 is a complete rewrite with no migration path from version 1.3, I've decided not to use it. For what I need, it looks like I might use a wee bit of knockout, but we'll see -- it may be that jQuery can handle all the functionality that I require.
One thing that's slightly annoying is that the view engine is so rigid. I really did love working with Slim/SASS in RoR, and it's unfortunate that the rendering engine can't be easily replaced.
I also find it interesting how easy it is to absolutely ignore the whole "model" part of MVC. Mike's examples use code embedded in the cshtml which as a certain convenience but which I don't like. That means then, if I put the C# code into the controller, I have to make the data available either through a ViewBag (which is where my learning curve is now) or a model (which I'll be migrating the code to next to learn the ins & outs of that.
And while Razor is great and the Html control wrappers are cool, it's really pathetic how to do anything user-friendly, you're pretty much coding in raw HTML.
Oh, and I hate style sheets. I want an editor that, when I mouse over a tag in the cshtml, it tells me what all the styles are that are being applied and allows me to click on the style so I can edit it in the css file. I thought I saw something like that somewhere once.
But I'm quite happy. Two days of concentrated effort have resulted in a grid that with a little polish will become a reusable mainstay component of this project. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

Glad it's working out.

Just make sure your JS doesn't look like a big mess of DOM manipulation. It can be so much cleaner -- virtually zero DOM manipulation -- using something like Knockout.

Yep. Personally, if the view is small; if there's just one or two pieces of data from the server I need, ViewBag.WhateverINeed = 42 does the trick. But for anything more than just a couple pieces of data, that's when I use the full View("Index", new MyModel(..)) bits.
