The Discussion

rhm Sorry guys, I voted for Ping!

Dan @rhm: That's unfortunate for you since we're not above bribery

hellokeith Foy is probably a sleeper for the fruit company. But yeah, I voted for Ping as well.

PaulMest Your progressive tax legislation is in the mail!
-
hansol @Paul II:
Dude, don't mix bribery and progressive tax legislations! We have progressive taxes in Norway where I'm from and that's working out just fine! Sure I have to pay 50% tax and also 25% VAT on everything I buy... But don't come here on Channel9 which is an international developer site and come dragging along your USA-centered politicial views like everyone in the world shares dem, m'kay?
-
hansol Oh, and did I mention we also have universal... wait for it... HEALTH CARE*?
*) If by universal you mean excluding dental care which is for what ever reason not covered and insanely expensive after you turn 18. But c'mon, you don't really need those to eat, right?So in your faces, all you countries that don't have that! yeah...
Go Norway

markheath Very pleased about the command line access to code metrics. It's something I've wanted for a long time. Also thanks for nominating NAudio for a niney. Sadly I won't be able to make it to MIX.

Raiven Yay Dr. Sbaitso!
That and the text to speech thing that would "sing" what would you do with a drunken sailor was the coolest thing about the Sound Blaster 16 ... at least when you're 12.
