This week I had a cold calling saleman representing a major US security company. They wanted to send an email with a program to install on our domain, to tell us how good their products are.
Hmmm. Failed at the first step. Told him I'm not installing anything anybody sends me.

Unfortunately I get a lot of them as my name is on the company website as the executive of IT. I have one that rings two or three times a week which comes up as No Caller ID. I refuse to answer it under the premise that if your hiding your number, I don't want to know you. This has been going on for months and the prick still trying to ring me, He has yet to get the message and never leave a message.

Can you or your company block the phone number (phone number range)? I would look into that if you haven't already.
|
|
|
|
|
No. It's caller who has blocked the displaying of the number. There may be valid cases to other staff.
|

Not to keep the thread going for too long but the "display" issue is only on your side. The number is still internal to the phone company that you use for your phone(s). They would be able to trace the number(s) for you for a call on a particular date/time. Just give them the call that came in on particular date/time and they will block that number, even if you can't see the number on your phone.
Hope this makes sense.

Blocked Name; Blocked Number; exactly how do you know it isn't dozens of these pond-scum calling you and think it's the same one over and over?

The depressing part is the number of people that will click on it.
I had to sanitize the missus's computer twice in one month because she'll click anything; which is when I changed the admin account password and didn't tell it to her.

I need to make some changes to web service I wrote two years ago as new business rules are added. Until now it was working OK as messages it was processing was small in size 10 to 50 lines max. Now with new rules message size can get to few thousand lines. Service was slow as dog it took almost 3 minutes to process 1000 line.Noticed there was a custom logging I wrote which was concatenating strings with variable+="New String". Changed it to StringBuilder and now responses are generated in 2 seconds. Users will be happy.

Well, after having used StringBuilder perhaps 'overzealously', even for simple string concat's of 2 pieces, and not in a loop, I do admit that in those cases, I've gone back to '+='
I can fully understand the argument for your case, and 'more complicated' cases I have, but under 'simple' conditions, I can live with "string1+=string2"
|
|
|
|
|
not to mention that in "simple case" that's exactly the same thing, or even (marginally) better!
1 string.Concat(s1, s2, ...) is the same as 1 statement s1 + s2 + ... and is better than StringBuilder
Multiple concats... well.. Better use StringBuilder!

You just helped me solve a problem I have been working on last week, Thank you

Finally, a noticeable difference when using StringBuilder. I trusted it would happen someday.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
