Would that be OriginalOffending, or meta-offending?

OG Offending?

Because PVC has a negative connotation.
|
|
|
|
|
Because it results in fights and I think Chris just wants this to be a nice friendly relaxed place

There's the 'should' as in people 'should' be able to have conversations on any topic without descending into a fight.
Then there's the reality which is where, generalising, within a big enough population you will always find someone who wants to turn what could be a decent conversation into a fight.
Codeproject has a big enough population for that to happen.
So you kind of just have to suck it up and avoid those areas that will descend into a fight.
That's my take on it

So I was just testing some software with a client.
First actual test we did and it should work.
Except, it didn't...
We have this file definition and the file should end with EN EZ or something like that (it's not an actual file, but people keep calling it that).
The client imports the file and everything seems fine, except that it doesn't process the contents.
Check out if we're missing something in the database.
Copy the file contents and paste them in Notepad++ and notice that it's cut halfway (because EN EZ was missing).
The total length of the contents was 65,535 or 2^16 - 1, which is no coincidence.
Check the max length of a .NET string, no problem there.
It's constructed using a StringBuilder, also no problem there.
It's converted to JSON, also no problem there.
It's send to an external service using HTTP, but also no problem there.
The database field of NVARCHAR(MAX) should also be able to have more characters, so also no problem there...
The problem was the SQL Server editor, which apparently can't show (and thus copy) more than 65,535 characters 
No problems there, move along... 
The actual problem was that we had to check some checkbox in the importing application

I've had this with sql results too, just couldn't work out exactly why certain results were matching a query, to the extent of converting fields to ascii codes to see if I could spot something hidden in them. Turned out the text had multiple lines and the grid view only shows the first line, the text being matched was simply further down the field

Classic, been there done that!

Yes, these are testing times

I'd rather get hit by a bus on the way to a starbucks rather than taking a sip of the antpiss they serve there. I'm glad to be surrounded by local coffee shops that know how to brew a really good cup.

Don't insult ant piss. It isn't as bad as Starbucks' "coffee"...

Would you say the same for cat sh*t[^]?

Today I learned that some people consume cat sh*t.  
|
|

|

Not only consume... they pay a lot of $$$ for it.
If I am not wrong, it actually is one of the most expensive coffees worldide.
I was in Sumatra in a farm of it, and IIRC they wanted 150$ for 500gr.
In Munich you pay over 7€ (in very exclusive coffee shops) for an espresso of it.

Christmas tip:
When you grind those special quality Christmas coffee beans to give yourself a treat: Put a couple cardamom seeds with the coffee beans in the grinder. It should be whole seeds - pre-ground cardamom looses its aroma fast, and the aroma is what you want for your coffee - you shouldn't use so much that you have a "taste" of cardamom.
Some people suggest adding a little cinnamon as well (again: for the aroma, not for the "taste"). My grinder doesn't handle cinnamon bark very well, so I add cinnamon only when making a whole pot, and can put a piece of bark to soak in the pot immediatly after brewing.
Coffee isn't Christmas Coffee unless it has a slight touch of cardamom, and a touch of cinnamon.
