So the wife dragged me off to watch Fifty Shades of Grey last night.
There were about 3 men in there (all with female partners), the rest were women in small groups of pairs. As we were waiting for it to start another couple turned up and walked past to take their seats, her to her "If I fall asleep don't bother waking me up".
It was poor, very poor, aside from the predictably cheesy dialogue, stereotyped shots of her gently biting the ends of pencils, him grasping random things in a manly way, aside from those things it was just very, very dull.
Took ages to get anywhere, the sex scenes were not particularly erotic, and in the end it was all just a bit sad.
But maybe that is the point, I have seen it said that this is the first attempt to create a film with erotic scenes from the female point of view, and my wife loved it, as did most of the other women I heard taking as we left.
One couple walking out alongside us, him to her "bloody hell, the things I do for you", his missus and mine then had a brief chat about how they'd enjoyed it so me and him agreed they could go to the next one together and we'd wait for them in the pub down the road. So at least I got a man date out of the experience.
Spoiler alert:
She is a young virgin English Lit student, he is the young and mysterious billionaire, they meet through some convoluted and unrealistic construct, there is an implausible attraction they both feel, he pursues her, gives her gifts, she doesn't question why the man who could have everything is so keen on her, he whisks her off to his house, she asks if he is going to make love to her now, instead he shows her the 'play room'. He explains everything he wants from her, even draws up a contract, continues to give her gifts and try to please her, despite constantly saying what he doesn't do keeps doing them to try to please her.
She tries to change him.
That essentially is the story here, man wants woman, woman has all the power and tries to change the man to make him perfect.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

No. Not always.

Think of the domestic Brownie Points you accrued just sitting there 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Talking of just sitting there, the seats in that cinema are not comfortable at all, my arse would have been less sore if it had taken the spankings rather than had to sit there watching them.

I honestly don't understand the fuss about it, there are plenty of novels like this one already around. But there is no rationality to expect in things making the buzz...

Bitch please!
The ad came on the TV the other day/week/what ever and 0.3 seconds in, I turned to the wife and said You can get f***ked.
Didn't even get asked if I would watch it with her.

The 26+ years of data from our relationship points to the fact I'd have to live to 597 to get enough sex to make it worth sitting through that shite.

So, basically, "9 1/2 Weeks" for the generation that thought the Twilight series was really really good?
Admittedly, they can't put anything [like that] realistic in a film.
A couple I know met at work, older man/younger woman, who are now together in a D/s relationship.
Very much so. The way she put it "If I'm very good, he'll let me wear clothes once in a while."

Hi Everyone,
I am migrating my asp.net Cms website from .net framework from 3.5 to .net 4.5.1. I faced some generic controls issues just like Iframe isn't support under HtmlControl but 'asp:HtmlIframe' contrl is introduced. How you take this change ? Good for an application.
I got bothered as it's an manual change but should be autom migration.
Thanks & Regards

Well.. I'd start by asking in the correct forum. This it the lounge; general chat, NO programming questions. There are various forums to ask in, try there.
This is the most civil response you will get to a programming question in the lounge.

Assuming you intended this to be a technical discussion, and not a programming question...
There was a similar issue moving from ASP.NET 2.0 to 3.5, where the tbody, thead and tfoot were changed from HtmlGenericControl to specific controls. Fixing it involved manually changing the .designer.cs file, or cutting the offending elements out and pasting them back in.
Predictably, this rather annoying behaviour is "by design": https://support.microsoft.com/kb/941824[^]
Projects which use CodeFile instead of CodeBehind shouldn't be affected by this type of change, as the fields representing the controls are automatically generated by the compiler.

"labiview"?
Sounds like a pr0n app, not a programming language.

For sure it is not something bad.
But notice that there is a possibility that not too much will find it useful - it depends on how may CPians use or plan to use LabView...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Well, it is handy.
Maybe if it were made a little more accessible, by a few articles, etc, on CP, more people could see if and how it could fit into their environment.

You really are a glass half-empty kinda guy aren't you? This was your opportunity to say "heck yes, it'll help bring people who use LabView but who might not know about CodeProject into the site".

Should I delete my post?
(Or pour more water into the glass?)

Which of these[^] is likely accommodate it?
Maybe, we can add a section on Labview.
