   I would assume occasionally the weather changes between going to sleep and waking up. Might be able to sleep through rain on the tent (it may even enhance the sleep by being white noise).

   Why? In particular Dynamic view models? What is the benefit of adding this third way of expressing your view model objects?

   I thought the $105m was new debt raised? I could be wrong as I'm not used to look at these forms, but I thought the story went that it was AT LEAST $105m because that was the ADDITIONAL raised. I might borrow 100k for a house, doesn't mean

   Off topic, but I also purchased it and just don't get it. Or is that part of the appeal? I can't decide since I do spend time with it but more trying to work out wtf I'm meant to do :-)

   I find "remember you <class> 101 course" pretty pointless. Nearly every class I ever took began with simple stuff and then the following years you learnt why that was all wrong, not quite the truth, or how you work around those rule

   Exactly right. I present on game development to local user groups in New Zealand and I always get a good response when citing "It's fun to write games - wouldn't you much rather be writing a class called SuperLaserWeapon than MembershipIden

   I used to do this. I have a wonderful memory for conversations I've had with people. I ended up turning off chat logging in every app I used because it just became a little too destructive to relationships. Calling somebody out with cold ha

    And if revenues were the most important number, that would matter somewhat. To this day I still don't understand why it seems profit is about the last thing people look at. Maybe that explains a lot actually.

    I've often pondered if that's why rich folks often refer to their wealth as "just a way of keeping score". If you think of each dollar in a game sense (e.g. points, or eXperience Points, etc) then how you look at things starts to change a l

    It is good news but I'm not sure they have the cash. Tindell (520m) and Morgan (250m) combined have approximately 770m (using 2007 rich list numbers which could be way off, but for arguments sake...) This falls quite short of the 900m they

    I'm surprised to see the default thinking is that there is something dodgy at play here. Jumping from 100 impressions per day to 10,000+ probably just triggered some automatic fraud prevention system.

    Thanks for the comments. The O/R Mapper product generates sales primarily because of the support and the domain modeling tools we build into Visual Studio. It does help that the core framework is very powerful too but that was something we
