Oh, the pain!
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

Our passwords expire every 45 days. Since my account is used on three computers, and I can't have services down because of a login failure, I change my password on the first working day of the month. This used to be a PITA until this month. We finally got rid of Lotus Notes (yay!).
Changing the password on Bloatus Goatse used to be:
Start Notes. Enter old password to start the app.
Select File, User security. Enter old password again to get the dialog open.
Click the change password button. Enter old password a third f***ing time to get the change password dialog open.
Enter the new password, twice, and hope the operation succeeds.
The Notes development team will remain #1 on my list of development-teams-against-the-wall-when-the-revolution-comes for the foreseeable future, just to be sure.

A History book that fell through a timewarp from the future claims that the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's development teams were actually the first against the wall when the revolution came.

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.

I KNEW IT!
I'll start building my light sabre straight away! 
Or more correctly: I'll go to Q&A and request somebody else to build it for me and just send me the finished result. Urgentz!

Not sure his last minute addition of a cooling vent is a good idea, but he reckons that no one could hit that, you would need some kind of supernatural "force" to do that

Just type in com.google or try out this[^]
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

I guess I finally have to learn MVC. I'm honestly not looking forward to it...
In other news, I passed my CompTIA Security+ certification exam yesterday.

I hope you don't mean ASP.NET MVC.  A lot of people think ASP.NET MVC[^] is the real MVC[^].

Still better than the "Look it works"-Method.
"How does it work?"
"By force!"
"By what?"
"I threw everything together, see it works!"
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Also "I don't know how it works" method too.

Keep an open mind - hehe - it is actually quite nice in that it addresses "separation of concerns" and TDD.
If you are disciplined enough you will find TDD to be a better way to develop.
If you are not disciplined enough it will be a huge pain in the ass.
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. – Buddha

Congrats!, I guess just another piece of paper eh?
MVC ain't to bad! I tried it a couple of years ago and thought it was a POS but I recently rewrote my web site using MVC and I liked it. It has quirks like anything else but it's intuitive and powerful.
