Don't get me wrong i like dogs but i am a cat person. They are more independent, clean, not so annoying like barking at 3 am (i care about my neighbors, if someone should suffer that's will be me alone) and i like things with claws

He does. Most dogs are trained to do their business outside, because their business is usually bigger than a cat's. I don't really want a dog to poop into a little box, that would smell awful.
There are a lot of independent dogs around, especially on farms - The problem is that people are terrified by "Fight Dogs" who were trained to be aggressive, and instead of taking the ones who mistrained the dog on a leash there are currently a lot of laws in preparation to keep dogs on a leash.
If your dog barks at 3 AM there are two possible reasons: Someone tries to break into your house, or you have just a badly trained dog.
Most people try to compare cats and dogs, even though you can't compare them: A cat is something that is around, comes and goes whenever it wants and barely can be trained well. A dog would immediately give his life to protect you, and is very controllable if you trained him well.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Or just someone passing though the floor and near the door.
Cats can be trained, its hard yes but they can be trained. One of my cats love to play fetch with his human slaves with one little foam ball for cats. And i am not kidding he is playing fetch. And we even didn't try to teach him.

Not so sure about that - some are, some aren't.
I've known dogs that have to be physically picked up and moved if they walked up to a tree - because they couldn't work out how to go round!
And I've known a cat that worked out that if he jumped from the third step...onto the wine rack...then onto the top of the cabinet...lean over and chew through the elastic band between the two door knobs...then sneak your way through the glass doors...and he could serve himself his cat treats.
But, then, I've known bright dogs, and had a cat that used to run full tilt into parked motorcycles...you get a good spectrum in both species, just like humans.
But...think of it this way: which species do you expect to perform tricks? Go outside when you want it to? Use an outside lawn as a toilet even when it is raining? Or work for a living for the police, deaf / blind and so forth.
And which gets to eat when it wants, sleep when it wants, go out when it wants, and it it has to do is sound nice when it decides to sleep on you?

Dogs.

Dogs, if you happen to have a big lawn and a dog-door. I'm not kidding, I once had a border collie sleeping on me.
Edit: I have to correct myself about the intelligence of dogs, a friend of mine has a chihuahua who happens to bang its head on the table if it tries to jump on her leap (while my friend sits at the table). Repeatedly.

Please, don't let your dogs claim a tree, he can scare the poor cat which is already there
Yes i agree it depends a lot from the owner. For example me i prefer sitting in my pyjamas early in the Saturday in front of my pc and i love when a cat comes and sit in my lap and let me pet her. I don't like early walks. I had a dog for a while as a little (watching a friend's dog for a little) and i still cant understand how the hell i was awake before the alarm clock to walk the dog. I remember when i came back from school (elementary school - how did i manage to wake up so early ?!) he was all over me licking my face. I was happy but i prefer two little yellow eyes watching me and let me pet them.

Was talking to someone a couple of weeks back who is fed up of their dog running off across the fields and coming back with rabbits some time later.

<input type="file" data-val="true" data-val-required="please select a file" name="file"/>
@Html.ValidationMessage("file")
Hello every one,
thought it might help any one so I am posting this small code for validating file upload control to check whether the user has selected the file or not.
Here there is no any kind of filtering with file choosen to upload.just only validating the user to select the file.
Thanks

Fantastic, thanks for the input!

Post it as a Tip/Trick instead - not as a post here in the Lounge.
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/Submit.aspx
Firstly because this is not the place for such stuff, secondly because It's gonna disappear into oblivion pretty son as people post more posts here and the old ones are pushed back and thirdly because then it will be searchable and people can actually find it when they need it...

As Johnny suggests, a Tip[^] would be a better place - but it would need rather more description than that round it, even as a tip.
And by the way: Please be very careful with the Atsign: you just notified a Japanese member called "Html" that you were talking about him, and sent him your sign-in email address...
It's ok if you use a Code block:
@Html.ValidationMessage("file")Bu in "normal" text it IDs a member!

It sends an email? That's crazy. Hasn't anyone bitched about this in suggestions?
At least there's no danger of anyone inflicting an email address on my user name accidentally.

Oh yes. Lots.
"It's not a problem" apparently, because of the code block turning it off...
