I would hate to be anywhere around that engine when they throttled up and lost all the blades.

That is what Boeing marketing people came up with, admittedly in a hurry, in order to solve the current air traffic situation; the airplane is meant to suck up volcano ashes by flying straight in the no-go zone.
Note how the two pilots are in separate cabins far apart to improve the probability of at least one of them seeing where they are going.

Possibly the plane that creates Chemtrails in the skies? Somehow a picture got leaked!

Tire swing - check.
Laser beams - check.
Nubile, semi-clad, young ladies offering "hospitality" - check.
Big bottles of booze and not those crappy little ones they serve, even in first class - check.
We missed our calling in life there, Douggie - we should have become committee-based aeroplane designers and airline proprietors.

Except for the engine.

And the engineer who snarfed that up got builtin redundancy immediately.

I haven't yet been compelled to use the existing features.

You know, these kind of statements really need to be proven. Where are the clinical studies? Where are the double-blind tests?
What a load of BS. And Unity (dependency injection) well, I probably found that to one of the biggest time consumers in a project I worked on last year. Useful idea, but taken waaayy too far.

So am I.
There are some good features in it but nothing compelling or interesting.

LOL.
I could not figure out whether the spreadsheet gear thing was included with the enterprise library or whether is something you buy separately.

Dude! Don't know? Spreadsheet gear things *always* come separately! That's why it's an Enterprise library!

The ideas behind it sound like a good idea, more easier testing is a good thing right? But when adding a new object or making a change now includes updating 3 configuration files and updating at least 3 code files, you've completely gone off the rails somewhere.

Yup, and not with chromium tainted corundum either.

If you're using anything that has "Enterprise" and "Library" (or Framework, Architecture, etc) in it's name, you've got bigger problems than just trying to be more productive. Good luck with it though!

Damn, I'm going to have to rename the MEFedMVVM framework I'm working on.
