Noblesse oblige is a French phrase literally meaning "nobility obliges".

The Dictionnaire de l'Académie française defines it thus:

1. Whoever claims to be noble must conduct himself nobly.
2. (Figuratively) One must act in a fashion that conforms to one's position, and with the reputation that one has earned.

The Oxford English Dictionary says that the term "suggests noble ancestry constrains to honorable behavior; privilege entails to responsibility". Being a noble meant that one had responsibilities to lead, manage and so on. One was not to simply spend one's time in idle pursuits.

Doesn't matter which political party one supports, one will always believe the greedy rich are in the opposing party.

And why is that? Because there IS universal disdain for the greedy rich.

It's absolutely amazing, but I have yet to find an exception to the rule that "the greedy rich are represented by the <opposing political party>".

Microsofties are at work at many places where Microsoft is located.

ViewModel or Controller, this is where the formatting can be set as needed, for example a property can be added therein (which takes the same source as you've decorated with DisplayFormatAttribute) which resurfaces the data for consumption with the desired alternate format. This property's getter will reformat the source for the view; and this can be within either a ViewModel or Controller.

Don't allow acronyms to instill doubt for concepts which are so-fundamental-as-to-cause-second-thoughts...

"The following has been a summary of several of the patterns that have emerged in dealing with view models. Although these have all been in the context of ASP.NET MVC, the problem with how best to deal with view models is also an issue with other frameworks like web forms as well. If you are able to bind directly to domain model in simple cases, that is the simplest and easiest solution. However, as your complexity grows, having distinct view models gives you the most overall flexibility."

...Warren Buffet proposes increased tax on people once they get rich, not while they work towards being rich. I don't see how that prevents anyone from taking part....

+1 & %100 reasonable, good Dr.

Football fans riot, political fans rant.

There is nothing preventing anyone from taking part. Reason is lost in the stands...

No one is really winning in the end. There is no winners if everyone sues the crap out of each other.

Just think about how much patent lawyers cost. This money spent fighting lawsuits is being redirected from engineers in ALL of the affected companies. And if you aren't some big company with a patent ICBMs of your own, you are f**ked.

Don't think the USA is free from corruption - it's just all hidden in D.C. and on Wall St.

All sides are complicit.

Remember Netscape? They went IPO and then collapsed.

Wow, that's awesome.

So, I was thinking of actually open sourcing the project (if my team agrees) so that other people (like you guys) could build on top of it. Would any of you be interested in helping create a solid NUI?

Please get your team to agree.
