Why? You posted the complaint and others responded to it. You were the victim of your own actions here. If you hadn't posted it and people had a go, then it would have been unfair.

I've been meaning to report this for ages!
In IE (currently using 9 but got the same in 8 [and I think 7 too]) the page links sometimes get overlapped by the page counter text. It seems to start off correctly positioned then the page links jump under the page counter area when the mouse is moved - I haven't figured out what element(s) mouse-over is triggering it.

This was actually reported[^] already but Chris said that it's going to be a low priority. Since you've mentioned IE9, I think it might have a chance to get higher.

I've been sitting here for a few minutes wondering why I can't reproduce the error anymore.
Then I realised: I'm on a Mac. 
I'll confirm and increase priority when I'm in the office tomorrow morning.

I can't tell if this constitutes plagiarism or not. The text under the Contract heading in the article linked below is also from this book: Pro C# 2008[^]
WCF Introduction - Part1[^]
I don't see any references sited but it is word for word. If I am out of line on this one then let me know. I don't blow the whistle much here but I just got a feeling about this one.

Hi,
I'm trying to use the search functionality, and everytime I get search results I browse the first of several pages of results, then when I click on the next page in a list of multiple page search results, IT KEEPS TELLING ME NOTHING FOUND! ARRRRGGGGGH!!!!!

Sounds like one of the search servers is having a bad Monday. We're looking into it right now.
Our apologies.

We must yell louder and, if possible, throw a tantrum. You should have said:
"Now how come time old timers and regulars don't get this kind of feedback? Are we not worth it? What is wrong with you, you useless stupid!!!? GRAAAHHH!!"

And I would have read the message with a concerned furrow on my brow. I would have called a all-hands-on-deck meeting. We would have engaged in some deep introspectives and swore to one another to do better.
Then we would have seen it was just one of you clowns and gone back to our air-hockey game.

Hi,
I've been reading some articles today by various neterati talking-heads, like Tim Andersen's blog, Thurrot's WinSuperSite, and on fora, like MS's SilverLight forum, MSDN/Cloud9, etc., regarding the public demos of Windows 8, and the reactions of some .NET, SilverLight, WPF, developers to an evident lack of mention, in the demos, of the future role of these tools/technologies, particularly SilverLight.
Of course the CP daily e-mail newsletter is always full of timely links.
I've also done some searches on the Lounge for messages containing "Windows 8," or "Win 8," and looked at what's happening on CP currently in the various forums for .NET, FrameWork, Visual Studio, WPF / SilverLight.
Between now and BUILD in September, I believe there's a valid reason for CP to have a specific forum for the discussion of the future of the .NET tools, the transition to Windows 8, the costs/benefits of switching development priorities to HTML 5 / JavaScript.
There are some interesting "wild card" developments going on like a few .NET => HTML 5, CSS, JavaScript translation prototypes, as well the new, or revised, IDE's like WebStorm from JetBrains.
And finally, it would be interesting to see discussion of the MS "initiatives," like Razor, WebMatrix, in the light of Win 8's initial exposure.
It would be very valuable to me to have this discussion in one place, and for the forum to be "highly" moderated, rather than loosely.
... edit ... I'd also like to mention that I think it would be fascinating to see the results of a survey of CP members at this point in time that would perhaps highlight to what extent developers are changing their strategies, or choice of development tools ... end edit ...
thanks, Bill

Thanks for the link, Pete: your opinions are always worth reading !

Well, we got through Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 without needing a new forum, so it's not clear we really need one. There will always be "What do you think of the new Razor stuff?" kind of posts in the Lounge.
And finally, Mike Dunn will write the definitive article on Windows 8 UI features, and win the monthly competition.

Hi Hans,
My suggestion is based on the perception that the Win 8 announcements, in contrast to Win 7, has raised fundamental questions about the future of .NET as a whole, SilverLight, WPF, etc., that are quite unique, and immediately relevant to CP users who, qua group, represent an enormous investment in .NET based technologies, languages, etc.
Other factors I believe suggest a uniqueness in this transition are the "hardware dimension:" touch-screen integration; and the issues of deployment-across-many-form-factors, particularly the small device "space," which seems more salient now in the "iPad epoch," than before.
And, I strongly believe that CP, as "hive mind" of the best-and-brightest in the .NET galaxy, represents an invaluable source of information to cut through the hype, the hyperbole, and the downright errors of fact, emerging from the multiple-headed Sauron of Redmond at this time.
Note the current thread in the Lounge started by JGasm, the Lounge messages on: Gamma's working with the Visual Studio Team, transfer of Scott Hanselman to Azure, and on ... and on.
Secondarily, my suggestion is based on my not having the time to wade through the spate of messages on the Lounge ... a most enjoyable past-time ... to winnow out content around the future of .NET. I believe there are many CP members that also do not have time for extensive Lounge-trawling, and would appreciate CP being a "court of first resort" to find timely information ... between now and BUILD when, perhaps, things will be clearer.
Of course, your opinions, or rebuttal testimony, on whether this transition is "another sea-change just like all the previous sea-changes" (active deskop redux ?), or, indeed, a "revolution," would be greatly valued.
I am still fascinated by the fact that in all of this talk about HTML 5 and JavaScript/EcmaScript there is little mention of what I perceive as the "Cinderella maker," jQuery, and its ubiquitous adoption, verily even unto the tents of Sauron of Redmond.
But, I am only making a suggestion to my highly-esteemed technical peers betters, here.
best, Bill

Hi Bill,
I don't disagree with any of the issues you point out; if there was a Weight forum, I would probably look in.
Doesn't it seem like a lot of this talk is really just rumors right now? Of course, if any of these rumors bear out, that would be another story.
It's good to think about these things in advance.

Hi Hans,
If I may use your analogy of a "Weight" forum: suppose I found out, as I neared my sixty-eighth birthday (September), that there was a sudden statistical "tipping point:" where being ten-pounds overweight had a strong correlation with mortality via cardio-vascular incident.
And, I futher found out that my current patterns of diet and exercise, evolved over years, may now be inadequte to prevent rapid weight-gain, and there was substantial publicity about, but not clarity within, announcements of new "breakthroughs" in weight-management via diet and exercise.
And, culturally speaking, suddenly it was considered "obscene" to be even slightly overweight, so if I didn't keep my weight down, I would be unemployable.
Under those circumstances I would definitely be looking hard to be critically informed about the current state of the "new ideas" about weight, exercise, and diet: I'd "bite the bullet" now, rather than later, to possibly take-up some new techniques, to learn some new habits.
Yes, there is a lot of rumor and confusion here, as various MS functionaries put out messages that, at times, seem contradictory, and as a vast gaggle of talking-heads blog relentlessly.
And then you have the issue, as Pete O'Hanlon has discussed on his blog[^], of many MVP's being under NDA's, which deprives, possibly, the "hoi polloi" of programmers invested in .NET from what has been an extremely valuable source of direction, guidance, counsel.
My suggestion is based on wanting to easily find within CP a forum where rumors are debated, and estimates are made based on the wisdom, experience, and connections, of CP members.
I totally agree with your statement: "It's good to think about these things in advance."
best, Bill

I'm not sure what you want saying about jQuery. MS has signed up to using it big time, and it forms a core part of their HTML 5 tooling. Saying that, HTML 5 is a web technology so you can substitute a different JavaScript library as necessary.

Hi Pete,
I'm not sure that I "want" anything vis-a-vis jQuery: I was only, as an aside, registering my personal curiousity based on my current experience that on virtually every website I "look under the hood of" jQuery is in use, and my belief (open to question) that jQuery has transformed the use of Java/ECMA/Script.
When people are talking about the future of programming as being "HTML 5 and JavaScript," it seems strange to me they leave out describing whether they are talking about "old," or "new," JavaScript. Of course, that's no more strange than seeing in national level technical publications articles that refer to "Angry Birds" as the leading "application" on the iPad 
imho the mis-named "JavaScript," litter-runt of Mozilla, prior to jQuery, and other extension libraries, was, and still is, a strange mongrel of a weakly-typed programming language unworthy to stick its nose in the poop of C#
Was jQuery adopted by MS because Ajax was so poorly implemented, or because its widespread adoption was a "fait accompli" ?
In any case, the role of jQuery in the future of programming for Windows, in the context of transition to Win 8, is exactly the kind of discussion I'd like to see on the forum suggested.
best, Bill
