Yes, that's true, they do that.
Nonetheless, as far as IT is concerned (and maybe electric battery as well), it seems to me that creativity is as good or better than ever before!

This is excellent! Once they start charging or intimidating the world then new techs will emerge to get around the problem. Creativity will prevail!
I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't out there people trying to find new ways to have a new kind of "SSL" after having read that.

There was a very interesting documentary recently on the BBC about the evolution of radio technology.
It turned out that Marconi managed to get hold of the technology from Nikola Tesla, apparently Marconi was not a genius when it came to engineering, after which he patented the technology so that nobody else could develop it.
He then proceeded to make himself into a very rich man.
Years on we now have wifi, so while Marconi may have slowed progress he certainly did not stifle it...
This is why I think sites such as CodeProject are so important - we are working counter to this commercial greed by sharing our knowledge.
So excellent work Chris and all the code project contributors

It's basically a way to allow us to have a bunch of similar helper classes that have static methods derive from a common implementator class so we're not repeating ourselves.
I've been working heavily with this all weekend and it's all extremely helpful and intuitive now, but there are a couple of " " review comments attached to the classes.
Anyone else written anything a little different lately?

can you educate an idiot on how that differs from std Object extensions? does it just filter thru to all descendants rather than the one object type?

Not sure what you're thinking here. In our instance we needed a generic baseclass to provide a typesafe implementation of common static methods.
So we have
public class MyType : BaseTypeController<MyType>
{
...
}
and then we do
MyType result MyType.GetType()
(I know all the purists have just thrown up at the thought of using a static method to return an object, but these are core "type" entities that specifically aren't being given the opportunity to have their implementations replaced via IoC or whatever. They are essentially type-safe rich enums (sorta) that get the collection of values they can take from the database. eg PublishingStatus is of type BaseTypeController so we can do things like PublishingStatus.FromName("Available"), or we can define some "must-have" values and then do PublishingStatus.Available, and then when we need a new publishing status value in the DB, we just add the row and the code all continues happily with no recompilation needed.
I'm running on too little sleep so I'm drawing a blank as to how you'd do that with extensions.

I recall having done something like that in the last year, but the details escape me at the moment and a quick search of my library didn't turn anything up.

I think it's beautiful, personally...
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.

I found this one interesting:
This one anagrams 30 elements from the Periodic Table
of the Elements into 30 other elements (and all 60 elements
that appear in the anagram are distinct):
hydrogen + zirconium + tin + oxygen + rhenium + platinum +
tellurium + terbium + nobelium + chromium + iron + cobalt +
carbon + aluminum + ruthenium + silicon + ytterbium + hafnium +
sodium + selenium + cerium + manganese + osmium + uranium +
nickel + praseodymium + erbium + vanadium + thallium + plutonium =
nitrogen + zinc + rhodium + helium + argon + neptunium +
beryllium + bromine + lutetium + boron + calcium + thorium +
niobium + lanthanum + mercury + fluorine + bismuth + actinium +
silver + cesium + neodymium + magnesium + xenon + samarium +
scandium + europium + berkelium + palladium + antimony + thulium
But there's more: if we replace each element by its atomic number (position in the Periodic Table), there is still equality:
1 + 40 + 50 + 8 + 75 + 78 +
52 + 65 +102 + 24 + 26 + 27 +
6 + 13 + 44 + 14 + 70 + 72 +
11 + 34 + 58 + 25 + 76 + 92 +
28 + 59 + 68 + 23 + 81 + 94 = 1416
7 + 30 + 45 + 2 + 18 + 93 +
4 + 35 + 71 + 5 + 20 + 90 +
41 + 57 + 80 + 9 + 83 + 89 +
47 + 55 + 60 + 12 + 54 + 62 +
21 + 63 + 97 + 46 + 51 + 69 = 1416
