The correct number is 42. 37 is the result when a committee is asked to work it out.

If you're writing an MVC5/EF6 app, and your model object contains a property called Model , you can't name the model's parameter prototype on the HttpPost methods "model ". It will try to cast the Model property to the object type (in my case, Model was a string ), and because you can't cast a complex object to a string , the ModelState.IsValid is false.
How's that for a whacked out discovery?

Just tell them anyway for sh*ts and giggles. See if they nod and pretend to understand. If they do get them to repeat it back to you.

Found the same thing so renamed the column to "Gisele".

For me, that would have required a update-database cycle, so I took the easy way out and renamed the method parameter to "kateUpton".

These days isn't supermodel an euphemism for reality TV "star"?

I always thought that a "supermodel" was a plus-size model.
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.

Can anybody see the irony of this? Will they finally delete Win 10?
And what will be next?
Will the Mafia finally fight against crime?
Will Google from now on be after those who spy on us?
Will Apple lead a crusade against overhyped and overpriced junk?
Will McDonald's declare war on unhealthy fast food? (Actually they try to make us believe just that for years now)
Edit: I hope that's snoring I hear. Else it would mean that lumberjacks just have cut off the last trees in Canada.

I don't really see any great irony there.
As much as many people are trying to equate it with Microsoft's (admittedly sometimes heavy handed) approach to pushing updates, I don't really see a parallel between a company trying to keep their OS secure and up-to-date and the "YOUR COMPUTER IS UNPROTECTED BUY OUR PREMIUM VERSION NOW!" brigade. MS aren't the ones demanding money every time you boot up your machine.
In reality, they're actually keeping their prices down by doing so (imagine what it would cost to support every old version of Windows) which is a rather different thing altogether.
MS are by no means perfect but I think it's a bit unfair to give them flak for protecting their users from borderline malware.
But, hey, if it's more in the spirit of the internet, then let's go with "Yarbles to M$, incompetent muppets, evil empire, evil people, everything they do is rubbish especially Windows 10 - I can't really tell you why I think it's rubbish but it must be because it isn't open-source/hasn't got a nice shiny apple on it/someone cool said that it isn't cool (delete as appropriate)."

I agree. I've managed to build a career around what Microsoft has provided for free. Other than a licence for the OS when I buy a new computer, all the updates are free, as is the Visual Studio versions I use. (Actually, I think I did by a Pro licence for VS2008 years back, but basically the free versions are quite adequate for most single-developer jobs.) Possibly corporate licence holders are prompted to buy upgrades (how would I know ) but personally I have no argument with Microsoft. Quite the contrary - I owe them a debt of gratitude.

Other than modest taxes for the cattle, all the services are free, as are the plow and the tools I use. (Actually, I think I did by a Pro licence years back, but basically the free versions are quite adequate for most single-peasant jobs.) Possibly the nobles are prompted to buy upgrades (how would I know Smile | :) ) but personally I have no argument with the King. Quite the contrary - I owe him a debt of gratitude.

CodeWraith is known for his fakethoughts around Microsoft. If you put him straight he is nagging that you don't understand the rant.
So it is: In the news: Codewraith.....

If I need someone to tell me what to do, I will go see one of those ladies who prefer leather. But that has not happened yet. Nor am I masochist enough to give them my money and then be told to shut up and let them do whatever they want whenever they want.
Want to get rid of malware? That's easy. Get rid of Microsoft. Depending on what you use instead, you are rid of far more than 90% of all potential problems. The bad guys lurk where they hope to catch the most dumb sheep, which obviously is with Microsoft. Stay clear of them and you will not need their 'protection' in the first place.

Well, sure, there's security in obscurity.
If I release my new OS tomorrow, it won't have half of Russia hacking into it because they'll never have heard of it. In that sense, I'll have produced one of the most secure products in the world. The problem is that when this becomes a selling point, my OS loses that protection and people will soon realise that was the only security feature of any worth that it ever had.
Out of interest, what OS/OSes do you recommend?
