Because they could. That's called design by committee. The guys who sit there can talk all day without deciding anything. That is further complicated by everyone having his own agenda, which often has nothing to do with any technical concerns. In some cases not even remotely with reality.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Probably designed by a different team? And could be useful to tell them apart?

i'm not sure anyone would have a hard time figuring out which was which. I'm sure it was a different design team but they used all other aspects of ASP syntax lie <*= and <*@ - they simply changed the percents to hashes.
i don't know. I can do a couple of dodgy search and replaces to fix it but i wouldn't want to have to rely on that. thankfully i'm not in this situation much.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Maybe to make it easier to generate an ASP.NET file from a T4 template?

Ahhh, now that's a use case I hadn't considered. You might be right. I could see MS engineering for that when they released T4 - even intending it for such a thing.
Although it still seems a bit silly, like using asp to render asp pages.

The "Import article from Github" feature you have added to this site is excellent.

Admiration, illusion? (3, 8)
Just realized my mistake. Missed The first word.
So probably kind of ruined by the mistake, the answer is The Prestige. I've seen that movie 4 or 5 times, yet I didn't know it had the article before. 
Prestige is admiration on the basis of perception and the word comes from the Latin Praestegium or Praestigiae or French Prestige all meaning illusion. While pointing to the illusions/magic/magician.

I would like that, today's CC was intentionally difficult. I wanted to set the theme for next week.

I made a mistake, perhaps you'd like to take another look.

Um.
You do realize the theme wasn't "movies" but "video games", possibly "classic PC games"?
Or were you that determined to do Monday?

Dang, Really?
I thought it was movies. If you go back you'd find all the answers also apply to movies too!

Hi All,
Just wanted to ask if anyone else has done what I did this am, alarm goes, mutter, swear, turn off alarm, pick up phone, check email (to find if any of the systems I am responsible for have sent the I'm dead or heading that way, auto email), No, so select Edit option at top, select all and this is what is stupid to my mind, open Edit menu, select Select All and fat finger Delete, 500 emails vanish, I have to boot my PC and check the days emails. Which genius thought that up, was it ever tested. It's not the first time I have done it either! Once (oh dear, that was silly!), twice (dang!), thrice (getting bad) & with today's accident I must heading for double figures. Why wasn't the Delete option in the menu?

So what did you expect to do with 500 emails? Select them all and open them all? That's even sillier!
I'd say that maybe a "please confirm you want to delete 'n' messages" would be a good idea, but other than that ...
