   Yeh I don't like abbreviations in code so would have unsafeName = Request("name") etc etc which does not have that problem... unless 'unsafe' is a thing in your business domain then things could get complex :) The

   He advocates prefixes on variable names. I would like to see good examples of this as I have never seen them as helpful (especially the tblUsers and intUserId type that can be common) .

   He does reference it in both the first and last paragraph! my fave is clean code... though uncle bob seems divisive these days for some reason. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Clean-Code-Handbook-Software-Craftsm...

    If you have a bike transport is cheap. Also rent is high but still manageable in the less favoured areas. With a bike you don't need to be close to a tube station so rents will be lower.

    I save half my income into low cost full market tracking ETF funds. They produce a return which I currently re-invest but will live off in the future. Pretty passive.

    I have not read the article, not going to give them the clicks, but as it is a daily mail article I imagine it is a story because there is some mock outrage... and possibly something affecting house prices. Mostly the outrage though.

    Less code is not really that important anymore (within sensible bounds) Clarity to whatever poor shmo has to maintain it is often much more important than saving 5 lines with some clever bit twiddling hack. Unless of course you are having p

    I wish all banks would have a read only feed of my data that I could give to apps like this. (Though as I am in the EU there are actually very few that do the integration (if any))

    A bit of a side issue but "By 1978, so did the Forest Service. It was like watching the Berlin Wall come down." Can you say something at a specific time was like watching something else that would not happen for a decade?

    Maybe this sort of thing will be tackled by the new stackoverflow documentation thing. This link may do nothing if you are not part of the beta! http://docs-beta.stackexchange.com/documentation

    The headline is "The Artists Who Paint Dinosaurs" Dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago. The Paleolithic period was approx 3 million years ago to 11,000 years ago. Bad op re-titling it! but nice pictures.
