Shout boxes are interesting, they basically just display all user input that is submitted via button to the web page. I believe some of them use session state on the server to use only a limited number of posts, removing the oldest n from a circular buffer. Alternatively you could …

Well, let's remember there are three types of hackers, white hat, black hat, and gray hat. Two of them are illegal. One is not. White hats work as penetration testers on corporate networks, they are essentially testing the security of the network in question, and are paid to break in …

I noticed this too. I also noticed that some people think it's just straignt C, which is incorrect, due to the implementation of the common language runtime, JIT compiler, and MISTLE code. It is a high level language like Java, in fact java has copied some C# functionality recently, the …

Right, you could have your class that is pulled from the table implementing a calculated method based on that date diff (a getter). I use object relational mappers. If you need to query such values you use sql functionality to calculate that date diff.

No, you are wrong. C is not C#. C# is built on a common language runtime with a just in time compiler. C# is c-esque, but not C. C# is more akin to a refined language such as Java. In fact Java has recently tried to emulate some of C# …

I hope it is not too intrusive for me to provide a little sample code... The object relational mapper would probably be your own responsibility. Object relational mappers pull objects out of the database and map them to properties in your objects, the model. You would have to determine the …
