I'm doing some code archeology on some old code written at the time when .NET was launched, and one of the really cool things was how you could write UserControls for the web and they would automatically be rendered based on the device. So for a webpage, they'd render as HTML. For a mobile device they'd be rendered as WML (Wireless Markup Language).
We put a ton of energy into writing a bunch of CodeProject code to support this back in the day, and every so often I stumble upon a small relic of this. It's like cleaning out a basement and opening an old cupboard only to find you still have a coal shootchute.
Edit: My abject apologies for writing "shoot" instead of "chute". Talk about being distracted by the news...

I've been working at the same company for 16 years, occasionally I find some real nuggets of 2005 Josh code

Sounds like a point-and-shoot adventure to me

Alas, I remember coal chutes and hauling ashes (careful there).
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Is this some cricket term? Oh. Never mind!

I see how this thread has progressed.
You'd probably have been better off discussing "cold snoot" . . .

You ought to visit my house if you're ever down Ohio way. The remains of our coal chute are now bricked up in the basement, and there's a steel sheet over the outside opening.
For what it's worth, I live in Xenia - bicycle capital of the MidWest. Five bike paths intersect here, with one-way lengths ranging from 8.5 miles to over 50.

Yeah, I wanted to have an invisible car...
until my dad ask "How would other cars know not to hit you?"

Go to YouTube and search "Dashcams Australia"*.
Cars don't know not to hit you with a visible one! 
* I know there are others, but the Ozzies just seem to do car crashes so much more professionally. It's almost as if their driving licences are issued via Christmas Crackers ...
