The informal language and entertainment value of the letter seems to me to be a direct nod to the value of the Streisand effect in matters like this. The Oatmeal manages to make them look even worse in the most easily digestible format poss

I agree that 'hidden' isn't exactly an accurate description, but that is a pretty good list of keywords that commonly get reinvented by less experienced C#-ers. It would be more accurately described as a list of underused idioms, but the ti

I always picture sacks with '$' on the side rather than suitcases, but I always have difficulty shaking the feeling that lobbying is basically a cash transaction. I constantly have to talk myself out of this. The following is a great, brief
