We had mischief night[^] when I was a kid - no demanding sweets with menaces, just lots of menacing!

'White Mischief'... wasn't that a film set post World War I in South Africa about racism, or am I going down the V rote today...

I remember Mischief Night too, but in my memory it was separate to halloween on the 4th of Nov. Halloween didn't involve any knocking on doors though.

I remember doing it before ET, perhaps it is a northern thing? The Americans must have gotten it from somewhere. We also used to make jack'o'lanterns, though we used turnips* rather than pumpkin - much harder to carve out -- better for parent's though, it kept us amused longer. I've heard the turnip thing is really ancient. The other thing we used to do was "dookie apple" - apple bobbing and eating hanging off a string with no hands. One of the best nights of the year, and still had Bonfire night to look forward to. Oh and mixed mash potato and turnip/swede(from the lantern scrapings) sandwiches = top culinary form.
*The rest of the world seems to call these Swedes. The bigger yellow ones anyhoo.

More evidence of expanding culture period. Hardly unique to the US, UK or any place else for that matter that isn't strictly isolationist.

Is this for when you answer the door, or are you going door-to-door mugging?

Sue Baker from Mind told BBC Radio 5 live that the worst thing about the costume was it reinforced outdated stigmas about people with mental health illness.
^ Sue Baker is a woman who is desperately seeking an issue.

Nope, she's a woman[^] with £20,000,000 to spend "to end mental health stigma and discrimination".
So this is just her waving the flag and trying to pretend she is earning the (undoubtedly large) wage she gets for doing basically sod-all.

I think the stigma against meat clever wielding maniacs is a good stigma to maintain.
Sue and I obviously differ on that point.

Hi Geeks,
Which part is the most important part in prospect of a coding.
1. Exception Handling
2. Reliability
3. Availability
4. Performance
5. Security
You can chose multiple but you should assign them as priority.

Agreed!!! There is nothing better than a fresh pot of coffee to help write code!

If I was forced to choose one, I'd select #2. In reality, all are important. I would however replace "Exception handling" with "Error handling".

Ok Nice one but how you segregate an Exception from an Error.
In my understanding what ever is thrown by CLR is Exception.
If Coder misplace logic that's an error.

I'd rather say that an Exception is caused by an error.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

Wrong. An Exception is not always caused by an error.
Example: A new application is installed and tries to read the non-existent default settings file. The resulting FileNotFoundException is simply a way to tell the program to use defaults and initialise the file. It is not error.
|
|
|
|

The FileNotFound Exception would be caused by the StreamReader which tries to read the inexistent file - It is an Error, since the stream reader can't read the file.
The Program using the defaults is actually the program handling the StreamReader's error.

Catching exceptions is only aspect of error handling. There are several other aspects such as logging and state rollback.
