Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky over at stackoverflow.com have had some really useful conversations related to large site moderation, administration, and feature scaling. From what I remember, they really hit alot of the same points regarding what you guys were talking about:

Awsome work, Surupa. Thanks for all your hard work on this, and to the rest of the CLR team. Can't wait for all these new features on 4.0!!!

Also, very cool, to have something as intricate as a conversation about NI versioning be articulated as clearly and concisely as it was.

Charles, book Surupa for a WM_IN show soon!

Cheers!

holy crap i want to go to there. beats the tar out of life as seen from my cubicle.

i am a technology consultant and 40hr/week college IT developer. joel, please save me! will work for fish.

Oh...my god. Haven't checked out C9 in a while, and man, I was missing out! I've been working on a Car PC that integrates almost all neccessary hardware such that you can just pop it out of your dash and plug it in at home. Pain! Frustration! Arg!!! To get all that hardware (even working with a form factor base) into a unit size that A) doesn't take up noticable space in the car, and B) integrates a touch screen, wireless, CDRW/DVD, GPS on top of the standard set of pc internals.

This solves everything (given that I buy two docking stations, one for the car to hook up all the ext hardware, and one for in the house). Thank you (Microsoft and Origami Team) once again for bringing a technology to the market that simplifies thing.

My eyes are all lustery with the thought of all my work in the Car PC market actually being worth something in the end. Good thing I've been developing software for the x86 WinForms scenario. Ahh, imagine taking everything* with you everywhere. Music, maps, TV, movies, podcasts, email, schedule, hahaha!

p.s. I really hope that they are priced under $1k, otherwise all this excitement is all for not. Retail car pcs have to be affordable.

great to hear such a seasoned mind; what's with the cut-outs in video though (especially when talking about the flaws of the MSDN site)? are these videos at all audited by microsoft PR?

i've noticed some snips to the video reel in a couple of these videos, some of them i can tell are just for asthetical and time-conservation purposes, but some of them seem like audits...?
