Just watched the movie, quite like it!

Was it as good as the book?

no book based movies are as good as the books. (*)

(Seriously though, at least the first movie is much better than the first section of the book – Tolkien badly needed an editor.)

Fixed that for you. Quite a number of movies are as good as the books, albeit sometimes quite different. The Lord of the Rings and first three Bourne movies come to mind.

I have posted a question in Q&A, but while investigating the problem to add the info into the question, I came across the following error message;
CRITICAL **: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry....
What the hell is the significance of a whale in Linux?

I remember twitter having used it, maybe that is why I thought it odd it appeared in the Linux.
Good story behind it though. Ta.

Since I'm not a Linux User I had to search the net also and stumbled across this.
http://linux-commands-examples.com/gnome-session[^]
from the several other pages that i have seen I would think that could be like a first chance exception that was handled by the system.
Or that no error message was able to pop up.

Cheers, this post was about the origins of the whale, not about the problem 
But thanks anyway, i'll take a look.

ok, most of the post had to do with twitters Fail Whale.
I don't Twitter either.
But as far as linux is concerned more reading makes it appear to be more like a windws bluescreen,only it may give options to recover.
to figure out what caused the error you may need to read the lines reading up to that message.
sort of like this one.

I had found that other link that Pablo Aliskevicius found but didn't think that was what you were looking for.
Cheers have a good day.

I only know of the "fail wail":
Meanwhile, Phineas and Ferb follow the ear-piercing sound and arrive at Baljeet's house. There, they find out that Baljeet signed up for a class called "Summer Rocks" which he thought it was a Geology class but it turned out to be a rock and roll camp and is scared he'll fail the class. Phineas notes that he was making an interesting sound with his guitar, but finds out it was actually the "Fail Wail" coming from Baljeet himself. Phineas and Ferb then offer to teach him how to rock.

You find packages like CsQuery[^] (Github Repo[^]), which is a C# Port of jQuery, with CSS2/3 parsers, a DOM, several utility methods, and the validator.nu HTML5 parser.
What NuGet packages have you guys found that turned out to be useful for a task you were doing? And what are your favorite packages to use?

Reactive extensions, mongoDB, Dynamic Expresso, SharpZipLib.

Never heard of it before. Just looked it up. Quite cool!

I like SharpCompress[^] for compression functionality.

Wow, a c# implementation of a 7zip decompressor! That is very impressive of SharpCompress. I had a quick look at it, but it couldn't find it - does it support compressing to zip with password encryption?

Here[^]
Note #2 under the formats table says pkware and WinzipAES are supported. As SharpCompress supports streams, one could wrap a [de]compression stream in a CryptoStream and encrypt that way.

Thanks Brisingr.
That is very cool, it looks like I might have a new compression library to use!
Yes, one could use a CryptoSteam, but one of reasons I use Zip is that almost every computer has basic tools to access them, and embedding a encrypted file in there stops that.

Mono.AddIns is one I use a lot, along with AvalonDock and Xceed.
