Yeah that's patently untrue, it should be "Apple is a technology based company".

Maybe as a whole it is not, but the "dism /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth" command that was added in Windows 8 is wonderful.
Cause it fixes the component store so that "sfc /scannow" will repair all corrupted system files.

I've would've said that I had heard that childbirth was pretty painful.
I think that would've made the point, especially since the conversation was between two women.

I dunno - I don't remember it hurting at all.
Mind you I was very young at the time, and my mother may have had a different opinion (particularly since I was a 13 pounder - 5.9kg - apparently!  )

That reminds me of a joke trying to determine which pain is worse childbirth or being kicked in the testicles.
The conclusion is that being kicked is worse because no man ever says in a year or two that they would like to go through it again.

Figure of speech.
It's their opinion.
It really doesn't matter.
Regardless of who's "right," it won't change anything.
Arguing just for the sake of it is pointless.

Because getting into an argument with a moron is pointless. Are you sure the other woman wasn't being sarcastic?
What annoys me are the seemingly automatic greetings (challenge/response) people use like ('How are you?' || 'What's going on?' || 'What are you doing/'). Worse, are the automatic responses to the common challenges, often with another challenge thrown in to be nice...'Fine, How are you?' (an honest answer to this challenge is mostly considered rude and in bad taste, so please just stick to the script!) && ('Nothing, What are you doing?' || 'Just working') (as if you had to ask!). One other one I hate is when someone says, 'I hate to bother you'...

It's called an "expression", in this case "nothing worse" is an expression of sympathy. Her meaning was clear.

Yeah, that's right. It is really coming down here in Southern California. The dogs don't quite understand what the noise on the windows and roof is all about. 
The storm is supposed to continue at least another day and the weather forecasters are even talking about thunder, which is really quite rare around here.
And in case it is playing in your head by now, here is the clickity[^]

Hi,
Good to hear that it's raining in California since as I understood there was a shortage of rain this year causing problems for the farmers and other folks 
Go "shampoo" the dogs and kick 'm out

A 20 minute journey took me over an hour yesterday. Roads closed and Ventura Blvd was a river. It was funny watching how other drivers reacted to this strange phenomenon. The ones still with their heads down, texting are the best. Click-click-bang! Saw a few of those.

I was developing a very simple application that contains two gridviews with some buttons and paging/sorting/filtering requirements. I recently learned MVC and really willing to give it a go for this project but I was on a tight deadline. Business needed a project ready in production within a week. No big deal provided it was a simple application. Fetch some data from database, display in two grids and once processed change status values. I started coding in MVC but really struggled without proper controls to use and need to revert to webforms.
Do you use any third party controls while coding data intensive MVC application ? What if company is not willing to invest in any third party controls ?

Grid.MVC[^]
Pretty poor compared to the Web Forms controls (although, with some effort, it works ok)) but I think, if you're willing to pay, some of the larger third party control makers have some good stuff. Maybe look at Infragistics.

MVC is a framework - route maps for instance to enforce separation of logic.
If you want GUI components, try devexpress or infragistics, they are leading vendors

DevExpress, Infragistics, Syncfusion, Telerik -- take your pick.
