Ever realize that the video you want to watch sometimes buffers, but the ad that plays before NEVER buffers?

I am more annoyed by the few times they have a mandatory 30 second ad and the ad is nothing you are interested in. You can't click away, you can't refresh, nothing. It would be one thing if I had even a passing interest in it but usually the mandatory ads are the ones I want nothing to do with.
I am, however, guilty of watching a few of the non mandatory ones. The ones I can't skip, I just go to the bathroom or something out of principle.

The cool article about Rush Limbaugh from yesterday boosted my self confidence enough to try to share some of my hacks.
Now lazy as I am I cannot write an article in one session, but I saw a small checkbox saying "Work in progress: don't publish". If I submit that can I come back to the article and finish it later and where will it be accessible?

Yes, you can come back and finish it. Your "works in progress" are listed under your articles, and they should give you the chance to edit them. Saying that, I tend to prefer to write my articles away from the CP code editor and submit it at a stage when it's ready. If you go here[^], you can get the template file that conforms to what CP expects, and just work with that. That's the way I roll.

I agree with Pete. Also, for one of my earlier articles I asked a couple of people here to review it before I posted it to make sure it wasn't complete crap. Constructive criticism really helped to get the article into shape - it's amazing how many times you can read what you wrote and still miss silly little things that someone else can pick up straight away. Good luck.

Work on it offline, and when it's done, post it in its entirety.

Reminds me of the first time I went to Wellington NZ, the council workers were putting ropes with knots along all the city footpaths. When asked they replied they were expecting a breeze that afternoon. It was very much like that video.

Sorry, that makes me chuckle.

For obfuscators I recommend DeepSea[^]. The price is good, the quality of obfuscation is quite excellent and their support is top notch, to boot.
Don't get me started on RedGate. I lost a lot of respect when they took Reflector and turned it into a failure. Turning it into something rotten was one thing; charging for it was another.
You mentioned ILSpy. Have you looked at JetBrains DotPeek? It's free and complete. I found ILSpy a bit lacking in some respects. It's still an excellent tool but being open source (?) I don't think it's moved on very much. JetBrains[^] decompiler is a polished product.

Funny enough, DeepSea seems to have just recently gone dead. There's a note up on the homepage that says there will be no future releases, and the current version is now unsupported freeware.

That is really surprising and unexpected. I last dealt with them about 18 months ago when it cost roughly £250 for a licence. I recall they had a couple of blokes running it and they couldn't do enough to help me. It's a pity; they really had a passion for the product but like all of us with bills to pay and food to buy, perhaps there wasn't enough money coming in to make it viable. Still, the price now is even better.

Sure, the price is fine, but I doubt many serious developers are going to want to rely on an unsupported abandonware obfuscator. That really is a shame, though, it looks like it was a good product.

Aside from the Reflector fiasco I don't recall any other bad press about redgate; and I'm generally not the sort to write a company off for a single act of bad judgment.
I haven't tried jetbrain's reflector; I stuck with ILSpy since it wouldn't require my learning a new tool because the owner suffered a case of misplaced greed.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

They make good database products. I use their freeware SQL Search add-in in SSMS quite a bit.
They were condemned by a lot of people for charging for Reflector. The original Lutz Roeder version was changed at some point to go online where RedGate deactivated the original free version. They hoped it would coerce us into paying for it. I did. Within an hour or two I had endless crashes with it. To be fair, they did refund me the next day but I'd rather have paid for a stable product than plead for my money back for a duff one.
Reflector was RedGate's "Vista" moment. I hope they've learned their lesson. They say you have one attempt to make a first impression and to me, RedGate didn't. They did, but for the wrong reason.
