Don't expect "C# Stinks" from C|Net. Until recently, everything was spun to pro-MS. And I agree with you about journalists, particularly pseudo-journalists. I went to college with the top journalism school in the nation, and the journalism majors were the worst poker players: too stupid to calculate and too easy to bluff. From such timber is the house of journalism made.

And C|Net is pretty obvious in its bias, and at least as clueless as average. To quote Eric Idle in "The Rutles", "It was so widespread that even the press began to hear about it."

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
