Probably my second favorite Churchill quote.
The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative. -Winston Churchill
America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde
Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin

Breaking news - Magician Paul Daniels dies aged 77 - BBC News[^]
It was only last week that he announced he had brain rot. This is the same fecked up shet screwing my brother into the ground.
Once more I say: Cancer can go feck itself and when it's finished, feck itself some more!

I saw him live nearly 30 years ago - I went with my brother who was a Traffic Policeman at the time. We were front row so Daniels got my brother up for a few tricks - when he found out what he did for a living, he was merciless. Funniest thing I'd seen in ages.
Later on, Paul Daniels was rather unfairly treated by younger "trendier" magicians because of his prime time TV show but there seemed to be a lot of jealousy there. Daniels drew viewing figures that no UK magician has seen since - and he did it year after year. While his act was cheesy, he was a master of his craft. I have nothing but the utmost respect for his career.
RIP Paul Daniels.![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

I have a photo of the tour poster from a cinema in some town in Cornwall, possibly Redruth.

It made me sad when I heard the news this morning, he made me happy a lot of times when I was young.
We ate in the same pizza restaurant as him and The Lovely Debbie McGee around 25 years ago. He did loads of tricks for the staff and other customers. Clearly enjoyed making people smile and didn't get fed up with them or performing.

I was running Windows Update and the whole system froze up during the download process, so I rebooted. When it started back up, I got a message saying that unauthorized software was detected and to select a different boot device.
I'm questioning how much I should reinstall... On the one hand, I can't do .NET dev without windows. On the other hand, I just don't give a sh|t.

The real question is: CAN you do it WITH Windows? 
Seriously, it sounds like your computer requires a major overhaul!

<HumorRecognizedBut>
It was a fresh reboot (after running windows update), and I was notified there were more updates. Started a fresh firefox instance and browsed directly to codeproject after starting the subsequent Windows Update process. After about 30 seconds, everything came to a halt. Couldn't even get into Task Manager.

You can use MonoDevelop[^] on Linux or OSX for .NET development.

Can't do WPF dev. I already investigated VS Code, and didn't see any mention of MVC (granted I didn't look real hard)...

Movie Quote Of The Day
If we overshoot this by even the smallest integer, we're dealing with concentrations with extraordinary levels of toxicity.
So get your integers right! get it!
Which movie?

Instructional movie: "The .Net Framework, Part Eleventy Seven: Limitations of datatypes and the seriousness of integer overflow" - It's a real nail biter!

Coming to think of it, the sentence doesn´t really make sense. The smallest integer depends on your integer size, suppose it is 32bit (signed) than that would be -2147483648.
The smallest "difference" is a whole number, thus 1.
A fraction would have been a better choice of words.
