I too notice that a poorly written article which was once the point of discussion among the moderators, is at top of the list since very long.
The question might arise, is it really the best pic from codeproject?
Note: My intention is not to criticize the author. No offense please.

You should criticise the authors. In the original meaning of the word.
Proper critics can and should be both positive and negative. How else can we learn from our mistakes and what we did well.
And besides, if everyone alway upvotes everything, how can we tell the good stuff from the dross?
CP has become polluted with lower quality articles with a high rating, that in the long run will render CP unclicked in search machines which kills the rating and the site itself.

Agreed.

I agree: without garbage we cannot appreciate the other.

All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

So that means it was impressive on Thursday, and it is impressive on Sunday (here in Pakistan), and by applying Maths; which I do not have any idea about, chances are that it will stay impressive for a while.

A little extrapolation is dangerous...
The only assumption that I would make is that it was impressive on Friday and Saturday.
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.

So, yesterday was the deadline for filling in the Self Assessment tax returns for last year here in the UK. Took me about 30 minutes to fill it in primarily because it said they owe me some money and I spent 20 minutes rechecking the figures. This is the first year in 20 years of filling them in that they have ever owed me money.
|
|
|
|
|
Only 30 minutes - I have a month to fill the papers, but I try to get the mood for a 3 hour, online session, which at the end will provide me with an endless printout (about 20 pages), that I will have to deliver personally!!!

Don't you have internet there? We do it all online, in fact they prefer not to send you any letters. And if you don't change anything you don't have to think about it, as they get the payments from you employer and the money/stocks from the bank. I rented out my house for some years, that took me about 3 mins extra to fill in online.
|
|
|
|

That's the most 'funny' part of it! I do fill the form online, but at the end I have to fill a real paper form, and print the online form, and add all the mentioned documents I already scanned and attached to the online form, and put all this in a special (large size) envelop with my number on ,and go the the office and hand over the package...A freaking experience every year...

I thought you had to send all your money to Scotland nowadays.

You know, I'd actually prefer it to end up in Scotland rather than where a lot of it actually ends up

It's all about how well you record things during the year.
Keep on top of that (and if you don't, you don't know who owes you what anyway) and it's relatively easy.

They have hired people that only deals with this, full time. Including lobbying to politicians.
