@Frank 15k in a year sounds like a graduate student's income (from back when I was in grad school; it ought to be a little higher now). Is it pre-tax or post-tax?

Wait. Can we trade rep for dollars?

user259867

... this may be zero-tax income bracket, though. I'm sure Jon Skeet gets heavily taxed by SE.

user259867

SE calls it "rep cap" instead of "tax", but the idea is the same.

If countries imposed an income cap, ooooh, that would be great.

Sorta. I do like capitalism tho. It's just that the golden rule gets in the way. Governments don't pass the laws to limit bad behavior from the desire of teh gold.

Q: What is this knob on our fireplace?

Dumb question, probably, but you guys have come through for us in the past... Our house has a fireplace installed by the previous owner with two sliding knobs. Our question is, what are these? The top slider is probably the flue. If so, is convention that the in position is opening or closin...

@jadarnel27 E_OMGTOOMANYTIMEZONEZ

Hahaha

@jadarnel27 I agree. It is odd; any clr function can run out of mem.. why this one?

1:44 PM

@LynnCrumbling Exactly.

I imagine it has to do with the way they generate those doc pages or something.

@LynnCrumbling There are way too many timezones

@jadarnel27 I bet that the timezone class was some intern's summer project, and he was taught by his profs to always be careful for low memory conditions.

@JanDvorak And, theoretically, there can be new ones all of the time! I could define that my timezone is constantly changing.. ever shifting, once a minute!

(I think they allow granularity of change at the minute level...)

@LynnCrumbling Haha, probably.

Silly interns.

@jadarnel27 It would be interesting to use reflector on it, and see exactly what they decided to try-catch for that exception.

You can't actually catch an OutOfMemoryException, right?

Or am I crazy?

1:50 PM

Mutually exclusive options?

Why not...?

Well - I'm betting that they're using WIN API's under the hood -

and they're THROWING the out of memory exception in response to some API function HRESULT

Have you ever tried using the WinAPIs? P>I>T>A

Those 3.5 classes are god's gift to programmers.

@LynnCrumbling No they didn't.... and the used methods throw a lot more possible exceptions

@rene starts up reflector ok.. I'm curious now.

@jadarnel27 You can, but it's pretty much a bad idea

@Bart Hey...

@LynnCrumbling Yeah, that would make sense.

I was thinking of StackOverflowException, which can't be caught by a normal try / catch (which makes a lot of sense).

So I am crazy.

1:55 PM

@jadarnel27 sure it can, at least in Java

Ah, sorry for the confusion. I'm talking about C#.

@jadarnel27 This... is a VERY small function.

If you handle Out-Of-memory exceptions you better don't allocate any memory while doing so.

It just reads the registry.

That's why they're worried about the OOM exc.
