OT: Codeproject: teaching a generation of Win32 programmers the virtues of cut-and-paste "components". I have seen the same bug in two different projects, thanks to the same buggy article both original developers have read. CodeProject has a huge presence and visibility among Win32 programmers, but they have done nothing with their influence to improve the industry; the guy who runs it is happy living in his Canadian mansion and building his site on user generated content; most users there are freelancers trying to pad their resumes, and the result is a nightmare of a documentation site, marching in lockstep with MS's marketing department. CodeProject could have easily become to the Windows world what O'Reilly is to Unix. Alas, they're Expert-Sex-Change sans the SEO; their model still follows their former competitors', ProgrammersHeaven.com, and both are due for some good SO'ing.
