Understandable... It's very difficult to tell the difference between a golfer and a corpse. The golfer usually smells better, but you can't depend on that in every case.

I have successfully abused .Net attributes to add functionality instead of just metadata. Such is the life of an outlaw programmer. Granted, it was probably a waste of time, but hey, what's life without a little bit of whimsy?

So something like PostSharp, or something else?
And when do we get an article about it?

Under construction.
I'm really eager to be bombarded with criticism about how I "shouldn't do that", or "that's already handled by this .Net construct/object/whiz-bang new feature" from people that are afraid that if they push the envelope, they'll get a paper cut.

I think the article is done, but I can't post it until I get home, because for some reason, I can't copy/paste into the editor from work - and this problem isn't just restricted to CP, so it's probably a DoD group policy that keeps it from working, probably having something to do with using javascript or some such nonsense.

I was trying to draw in the more sensitive people here. I figure if I use a frilly word, they'll be lulled into a false sense of safety and comfort.

Don't be fooled there is a softer, gentler side of JSOP. He is comfortable with colours like fuchsia and concepts like whimsy, he is just a softie at heart, despite his penchant for guns and muscle cars.

As the story of Narcissus gazing into the Hippocrene spring on Mt. Helicon tells us: beware gazing at your own reflections.
Sounds intresting: how about showing some code over on the C# language forum, and explaining you had to resort to metadata/attributes/reflection ?

That's the funny part. I didn't have to resort to it. All the code that I wrote followed my vocalized derision when I read that "attributes aren't supposed to provide functionality". RUBBISH!
I'm writing an article, that could serve as both "how to do it", as well as "what not to do". I am a paradox.

Not so, Grasshopper. Some people are meant to exist merely as a warning to others.

Of course all manufacturers claim their products to be the best, forget the rest. There also is the question how your car 'feels' and handles itself with the tires. A test drive with every set that comes into question is not possible, so what is left except blind guessing?
To be honest, this is not really about rubber tires, but these have very much the same function: One of my candidates.[^]

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

I buy the tires that my car was first sold with (the type, not the actual tire) and if they are not available then I get the next closest match.
Money is not a concern to me when it comes to my car or tires, so I don't purchase cheap tires just to be cheap and frugal.
EDIT: I don't do customizations with my car. Most everything is stock.

That's exactly what I have right now. They are ok at everything, but excellent at nothing. A better energy efficiency would be interesting, but all of them claim to have the one and only optimal profile.

Exactly. You don't need performance tires if you are not doing performance driving. If you are going to deviate from the stock tires, then buy tires for the style of driving you do most.
Edit: see JSOP's post below.
