...which means you really ought to have the same rules in effect on both the client and server. With a large number of forms this can lead to some ugly maintenance issues. How do other developers solve this problem? I've found a very practi

I've been using (publicly available) pre-release versions of Visual Studio 2012 since late last year. The all-capital elements certainly appear to be a stylistic design decision but it's used so sparingly (and less so now) that it's difficu

That sounds like an interesting idea. If implemented, it would also be possible to use patterns of voting to estimate (to some degree) how likely a user is to up/down-vote based on the author alone. Maybe dye a user's name purple for "group

Well, "evil" is fairly subjective and often times depends on what side of the table you are on, as I think he points out in the article. As for specific reasons why they could be viewed as such, there are plenty out there already. Here's an

I think he was referring to Geo-IP location (approximating your location based on your ip address). About 60-75% of the time it's accurate to the city - provided you're not using mobile broadband. Of course there are a number of other ways
