And it would be too clever not to dupe-post ;)

Besides, it is a very good database product for basic needs. I'd choose it over MySQL anyday and upgrade to SQL Server, when needed...

@robconery:
I think it is fine if people submit their own posts here, as long as the content has some value.
I have found many valuable postings and blogs from people who have submitted their own posts here. If the content is not worth sharing or returning to, I just won't kick it.

What I don't like is when some people abuse this community and make items published with zombie accounts or some other networks. They rarely kick or submit anything but their own stories and often have some blog filled with advertisements etc.

(ps. this was just a general reply about kicking own posts here, I don't have any strong opinion about EF, ES or the poster of this story ;)

Interesting, but not really related to this site...

"Note that the above is *only* about out-of-process magnification. When you do zooming (via scaling) within your own WPF application, the rendering continues to be re-rasterized at the higher scale, so everything remains smooth in that most common scenario. This change is strictly about using the external magnifier."

Er... the link points to "localhost"... :o

@foobar: none of those things I listed are new to us. To dinosaurs they probably were. They chose C and Perl :P

See? If dinosaurs had taught themselves some .NET, TDD and MVC we'd still have them.

Seems like a very good idea and execution! :)

Yeah, that old domain of the EE was as bad as, say, therapist.com etc ;)

What? There are people who don't need to count DNA sequence matching algorithms with browsers' JavaScript engines on daily basics? :D
