The sound made by the hammer hitting an empty chamber sounds the same to everyone.
The meaning of that sound is directly related to which end of the gun is pointed at you.

That's known as the "death click". If you needed to pull the trigger and heard that noise, you're now dead.

When a 1911 is empty, the slide locks backwards and you can't pull the trigger, thus, no "death click". When a 1911 is emptied, the sound you hear is generally a loudly exclaimed expletive followed by the sound of dull tuds on a human skull, because a 1911 has enough weight to be used as a battering weapon, where your typical sissy plastic guns (aka "Glocks") do not.

I am glad to see that some people never change.  I do have to say that I wish my farts smelled like Hoppe's 9.
Equally glad to see that bacon is still the food of choice for some people here.

I never change. I prefer to think of it as a modification of tactics.

Indeed, that would a significant improvement for most. But think how many more friends you'd have tagging along if they smelled like bacon!

I keep getting/looking lot of irregular format of JSON output from MongoDB. Is it me and anyone else got the same issue ? It just bring lot of unnecessary recoding. So sad to see MongoDB abuses JSON like this.

First, isn't JSON inherently ripe for abuse?

Second, why are you abusing yourself?
One might think I should use the joke icon for this post, but I'm actually quite serious.

Hum, Is it? Don't think so. It has simple and great spec. http://www.json.org/[^]

No choice at this time, except working with it.

Simple is good, but what annoys me about JSON is that, unlike XML, you can't publish a schema for it. You're left to the willy-nilly design of the developer and, unless the developer properly documents the JSON format (which seems rare in my experience) you really have no idea what the options are. That said, the same thing is true for XML, except that you CAN create an XSD (and should, in my opinion). Granted, there's some attempts at using JSON to create a JSON schema.
But frankly, chalk up most of my rant to just being old school and liking structures defined, databases with real relationships and normalization, etc.

I see your point. However this doesn't mean you shouldn't comply with the existing spec. Atleast try to make it work with existing spec.

MongoDB uses BSON rather than JSON. The extensions are to provide support for the richer types you get from BSON rather than JSON.
|
|

According to their document it uses both. http://www.mongodb.com/json-and-bson[^]. Moreover .NET MongoClient library has
collection.FindOne().ToJson() Which isn't presenting good format for my case.

So you're going to become a Visio or some other chart designing tool guru?
Draw the picture and let the rest of us figure out how to make it work.
