  • Red Pills

    Scoble says there is another blogger of note that hasn't annouced he's taken the red pill yet...

  • Salaries

    "How is this even possible?  It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.  First off, the two languages are officially a little over two years old.  At least with VB.NET, a lot of VB skills carry over... so you can claim more years of experience.  Also, VB.NET and C# are virtually identical in features and capabilities... targetting the same platform.  So how can anyone justify the difference in salary?  Am I the only one that doesn't understand this?"

  • Scobelizer

    "Sorry for taking the weekend off. I know I owe you all some big news. That's coming soon. I was asked to hold off for another day, so I'll probably announce that on Wednesday morning."

  • ENT 1.0 Spec

    This might be useful while putting topic support in the RSS feeds or extending your favorite RSS agregator.

  • My Services Pricing

    I really love the My Services concept, but what is up with the pricing? I mean, I would really like to add .NET Alerts support over on the Dot Net Weblogs Archive, but yah right, MS is really blowing it here. Like I am going to dish out $10,000 to license passport and then $1,500 for the site and then another couple grand or so to use .NET alerts. Almost $15,000 just to send some friggin messages... I could write an app that sits in system tray and accomplishes the same thing without Passport in about 10 minutes, what is so special about the MS implementation that it requires $15,000 in licensing fees to do the same thing?
