• James Senior: Introducing Web Camps

  Whenever I try to go to http://www.webcamps.ms, it prompts me to download the HTML, rather than view it in the browser.  Is there a MIME type issue with your Web server (or my proxy)?

   

  EDIT: Problem resolved; the site comes up fine.  Looking forward to this!

  I was looking for this Christmas time so I could make some games for my nephews. Thanks!

  I would rather not have a USB dongle at all.  I hope there will be Bluetooth versions of the Arc keyboard and mouse.

  It seems to me like the advantage of dynamic type systems is that you don't have to deal with the disadvantages of static type systems, whether it be induced by the limitations of a type system (C++, C#, Java) or the limitations of one's understanding of a type system (Haskell).

   

  There are disadvantages of dynamic type systems as anyone who has ever made a variable name typo can tell you.  In particular, I've always considered dynamic language designers who enforce case sensitivity in their variable names as especially cruel.

  I get a "file corrupt" error when trying to play the Zune version with the Zune software (4.0 64-bit), but it plays OK in VLC Player.

  I'm interested to hear what Patrick has to say about collecting very large memory heaps in his PDC talk. Looking forward to it!

  Be sure to check out her blog, If broken it is, fix it you should. It's a great resource on debugging.

  Wow, I have one thing in common with the Gu! Class of '92 here. I thought I was a smart guy before I went to Durham, and then I met absolutely brilliant guys like Scott there. Quite a humbling experience but a good one.

  Is there a list of controls whose markup was updated to be more standards-compliant in ASP.NET 4.0?

   

  Misspellings in exception messages for the ASP.NET 4.0 Beta 2 Wizard control highlighted below:

   

  A header placeholder must be specified on Wizard 'Wizard1' when HeaderTemplate is set. Specify a placholder by setting a control's ID property to "headerPlaceholder". The placeholder control must also specify runat="server".

   

  A sidebar placeholder must be specified on Wizard 'Wizard1' when DisplaySideBar is set to true. Specify a placholder by setting a control's ID property to "sideBarPlaceholder". The placeholder control must also specify runat="server".

  The Menu control has scrolling behavior if you have a menu with a lot of items. This behavior is not replicated in 4.0 Beta 2. Was this intentional?
