Attributes That Do Nothing
Some attributes in the .NET Framework don’t do anything. That is, there mere existence decorating your assemblies (and their types and members) has no discernable impact on runtime behavior.

New (Old) C++ Article
I just noticed that MSDN has published another one of my articles. The operations of the MSDN group at Microsoft is a mystery to me (this does not include MSDN Magazine). I wrote this article around February 2005. That’s well over a year ago now. You have to wonder why it takes so long for them to publish something online. Some other authors have noticed the same efficiency. I suspect it’s a conspiracy by Robert Scoble to undermine traditional forms of publishing.
