Man, people split up because of a 'like' button. You don't 'like' in time -- you loose. It IS crtical.

That's OK, people who care about "like" buttons should be ostracized anyway.
On a side note, if I hear someone at my organization say one more time that our site needs to be more like Facebook, I'm going to garrote myself with a Cat5 cable.

Well, CP seems to go in that direction, too... It is a matter of time when it becomes "CodeBook". If it makes you feel better, I can vote you down

This is why I hate the facebook, I cannot hate things, can only like things. How in the world I am supposed to only like things.

I think exactly opposite. While I'm not a huge fan of a facebook, this particular feature is fine for me. Whereas I do dislike various things, a non-existance of downvoting mechanism forces me to express the dislike in a commentary (hopefully constructive). No downvoting makes the website more positive, which is a desired feature for a social network. We all have enough univoters in the real life...
Anyway, there are a lot of "hatred groups" on FB. Giving a 'like' to them is a way to express hatred, if you really need to.

Looks to me like the original programmer was too lazy to handle an exception, and another programmer came along and added the helpful "Not good!" comment, and left it like that. I don't know which programmer to hate more.
Five bucks says that account.Save() has a return value indicating success.

Well if saving doesn't work now, it could work later...

Oh, yea! Really user friendly. I ask to save, it works fine. Except I don't know if it worked or not. So now I've got to retrieve the data. If it is retrieved, fine, it worked. If not, then I get to save again and then check again and...

If in the account class the Save method looked like this there might be a scenario where the eating of exceptions is fine:
try
{
// Some code to save the record to the db
....
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
logger.Log(ex);
throw;
}

I've read somewhere that this code is equivalent to:
try
{
}
catch { ; }
Then again, a LART would be more educational.

I notice that a fair few of the recent posts here seem out of place.
Can't people read?
ps. I guess that by posting this, I now have to include myself in that category, but I'm hoping to be indulged.

Most of the time I just click the links from the main page to get to various threads, having no idea which forum they're in or what on earth the forum description is if any

Apparently some people can't even spell forum anymore let alone read a description about its purpose...

Apologies if this subject has already been discussed before.
After stumbling upon last September's Best C# Article NET-CLR-Injection-Modify-IL-Code-during-Run-time and learning about endless security issues with the Java Runtime.
Are these platforms actually safer than conventional compiled executables?
Isn't the whole point of Data Execution Prevention (DEP) meant to stop run-time modification of running code? The CLR/JAVA Runtime engines have the only *native* code that DEP has any direct control of, but they are allowed to run without question, because of some dubious assumption that code for a virtual cpu/machine can do no real damage.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't help thinking that code under direct control of the 'real' cpu is safer than these virtualized runtime environments. 
I'm not fully versed in .NET or Java coding. Anyone care to shed more light on the subject.

Nope not true at all. It has full control over native code too. Also, don't forget that these runtimes are written in native code.
Just as a point of interest, some CPU's have a hardware based DEP[^]
