Psy's Gangnam Style video has been watched so many times that YouTube's counter could not cope and the company had to upgrade its system. Why did this happen?

Read the explanation, it hurts my fragile brain.

Yeah... they should totally have used an unsigned integer.

They couldn't - PHP doesn't support it. Somebody posted about it earlier in the week, or I misread the whole thing.

It's also sort of wrong Unsure | :~

isn't it?
If you follow their instructions and do the maths you'd discover the number of "boxes" is capable of holding about double the number of hits - effectively UInt32. This also results in no explanation about why the number flips round to int32.MinValue;

Stupidness is transferred just by mention "that's stupid". Smart things have no attention until you push people face into that thing and proof "it's worth to see".

I have a question about your preferred programming style.
Whenever I write code in C# I make extensive use of the 'this' keyword and I use class names when referencing statics.
So:

this.SomeProperty = someValue;
this.SomeMethod();
ThisClass.SomeStaticMethod();

Instead of:

SomeProperty = someValue;
SomeMethod();
SomeStaticMethod();

My reasoning behind this is that I can tell something is an instance method or a static method.
And to be completely honest it's also something I started doing in VB because VB has Modules and Modules don't make you specify the Module's name. So Me.SomeMethod() can be an instance method, a Shared/static method on the current class or a method in some Module!
Now there's a new guy at work and he really hates this style of programming because he thinks it's redundant.

I'm not asking for right or wrong (unless I'm the one who's right Poke tongue | ;-P

), but I want to know personal preferences.

Prefixing this. for members is a Microsoft .NET programming style guideline. I've tried to use it as often as I can remember to.

I did some searching but could not find that any more. Looks like they don't have a single document any more. This was from several years back. Once you installed the StyleCop plugin (was not part of VS then), it would issue warnings when you accessed a member without prefixing this.

I've gone both ways, and both points are valid. I find myself using this a lot in JavasScript for some reason, but in C# I seldom do. For me, my biggest peeve is inconstancy in a project. So, looks like one of y'all are going to have to give in, or you could have him off'ed.

Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement. Smile | :)

My preference is to never use this unless there is a reason to do so (like conflicting names).

My methods are small enough that it is rarely a problem to see what is local and what is a property

and anyway, properties begin with a Capital and locals don't.

For static methods I use the classname. option, as there is no other obvious differentiator. That said, I don't work with many classes with static methods, so not something I have formed a habit out of.

When I see

this.SomeProperty = this.SomeMethod(this.SomeOtherProperty)

I cringe, and think "this? What else?)
