Yes, if you're doing some really heavy number-crunching and this is a bottleneck, LINQ could be problemati...
@TheUnhandledException Fine, I suppose. Car repair progress is slowly proceeding. Lost my fight with UPS/B&N. Stuck doing another diagram of some sort as my actual work today, the details aren't clear yet.
@TheUnhandledException and anyone else willing to help... I got the importing of old code to work, but now I can't set an FTP to the project and I think I got a wrong kind of project. I'm trying to use either WebObjects or MVC, dunno which one the code was made on, but it's a web application with ASPX made in VB.

What I'm proposing is a flexible and complementary display of a second, optional, weigh...
Why oh why do I keep forgetting the password to my own blog? It's not as though I've got 100's of other passwords to remember. Oh, I just remembered, yes it is.

Well, somee will still be active. but i am moving to stackflair.com, yes.

@TheUnhandledException, no worries on the hosting front. I'm just crossing my fingers that "I should be able to set that up tomorrow [as in today]" turns out to be true. q:

Somebody asked on a forum how to hack a game's ad-hoc security system and play online with an aimbot. Unfortunately, those clods at Gaming don't want those perfectly legitimate, objective gaming-related questions so I had to leave my reply here. :(
