The cartoon reminds me of the 4 blind men who were each feeling a different part of an elephant and each thought they were touching something different. Everyone's experience of the same thing may lead to different conclusions, just as copper repipe may be for cleaner water or simply better water pressure.

On Software "Engineering"
An oldie but a goodie, courtesy of Jeroen van den Bos: A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" The man below says: "Yes you're in a hot air b...

In .NET 1.1, TryParse is only available for the Double datatype. Version 2.0 of the framework extends TryParse to all the basic datatypes. Why do we care? Performance. Parse throws an exception if the conversion from a string to the specified datatype fails, whereas TryParse explicitly avoids t...
