Alternative Rock

Don't look at the sourcecode of .NET licensed under the 'Reference license'

Disclaimer: I'm offered a free license for NDepend 2.0 Ok, first sorry for the disclaimer, but I think it's best to have fully clarification and transparency towards my readers so they can determine by themselves if what they read is OK, and from now...

I'm tagged and happy newyear!
First of all: Happy New Year! Sahil Malik tagged me so here are the 5 useless, braincell destroying trivia about me you probably didn't nor wanted to know! My first program was a solver for a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0 on an MSX in MSX basic . That's right, my...

Get it while it's hot: VS.NET 2005 Team suite SP1 RTM download (via Dennis ) Update: Scott Guthrie writes that you should uninstall the Web Application Project add-in first if you have that one installed, as the SP1 installer chokes on that. At the moment...
