For some reason this app scans my collection and tells me I have 130 songs without artwork, but does not tell me WHICH songs have no artwork....

Version 1.2 can create a TimeSpan from two dates, using TimeSpan.FromDates

Comment on The third Generation iPod Shuffle – how to turn a perfectly good product into a piece of shit by Lassa

Yup. I just got the new Ipod shuffle and I hate it. I'm hoping it's not too late to take it back. So annoyed that I can't use my own headphones anymore and the touch pad is really annoying to use. Definitely wouldn't recommend buying it. I think I've had it with Apple.

Fine lib, but missing some important things. Like creating Timespan from two dates and working on that like:
var ts = new TimeSpan(destinationDate, currentDate);

Yes, the And element also can only have 2 child elements. Order of these two elements does not matter, but of course if you nest Or and And then Order might matter.

Comment on Why I think Internet Explorer is the best browser for JavaScript development… by mstum

As said, for me it's the exact opposite. So far, each and every thing that didn't work in IE was a genuine bug in my Code, and often Chrome and Firefox just silently swallow/auto-correct the error. Maybe I just haven't ran into any issues - the style issue for example would be a non-issue as I'd prefer server-side combining and compressing, but who knows, maybe I'll run into these issues at some time. But so far, I'd rather work with a browser that reliably errors out than with browsers that decide to do their own stuff without telling me.

Comment on If you want my money, show me your sexy back! by Not Rocket Science » Why is it so hard to list proper technical specifications?

Doh, that was meant to be:

"You couldn't PAY ME enough money to develop / debug in JavaScript in IE."

though you likely got that from the whole message.

You couldn't PAY ME enough money to develop / debug in JavaScript... I'd happily take 50k/yr to develop in Firefox or Chrome vs. 450k/yr to develop in IE.

Just look at the number of IE bugs you'd have to deal with first hand (even if you knew they existed!)

IE has a 10:1 bug ratio versus ALL other browsers combined!

Like they say, If you'd been developing for most of the last decade you would have already given up on IE... if you haven't... you haven't been doing it long enough!

Comment on An Extension method to replace multiple Chars in a string by mstum

mstum — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 02:26:02 +0000

Haha, I had exactly the same thought as I started to all more "rules" and realized that keeping two lists in sync is stupid

Not bad, Michael. I almost feel, though, that you'd be better off accepting an IDictionary rather than two lists of Char. That way you have a definite one-to-one mapping of "old" to "new" characters, rather than relying on the two lists "matching up" item for item.
