It's kind of "What if EA did Channel9?" except less technical... and with adverts for EA's upcoming games, and coverage of selected games. It's called Battlecast Primetime, and whilst I was in LA for their summit I got the chance to take part in a set of 3 games of me and three other guys, apparently they only chose the first of those 3 since it was the most exciting. And yes, I lost. So yeah, my ugly mug appears: http://pnmedia.gamespy.com/screenshots/pcnc/92113891.jpg Clicky for the video (44min long, I'm at 35:00) And yes, that is an XKCD shirt. More...

I wanted a more user friendly experience when this C# app crashes. So I wrapped all the code in Main() in a try catch to handle any unhandled exceptions. Inside the catch I show an error reporting dialog where the user has the option to report the error. So I assumed that all unhandled exceptions would end up in this catch block, but it doesn't seem to be the case. On some machines the catch block doesn't catch the exception and the standard .NET exception dialog pops up. So is there any instance where a try catch wouldn't catch an exception? Just a side note: All machines that this is tested on have .NET 2.0 SP1. The two machines that do not catch the exception have server 2003 installed. More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Im using IIS6 and ASP.NET 1.1 under the 1.1 .NET Framework.* When i upload a file it is transmitted to IIS.* My understanding is IIS actually receives the entire file upload and once completed then does it pass it along to ASP.NET and my web app. My question is where exactly does IIS store this upload?* Is it somewhere on my HDD or does it buffer it all in memory? If memory then what happens if a user transmits a file that exceeds the memory free space (ie.* i have 500MB free when in Win 2K3 and the user decides to upload a 700MB file) ? Thanks. More...

I've got a custom built machine using an Asus P5K Deluxe motherboard, Intel Quad Core, 2GB RAM, GF 8800, and Vista 64 bit Ult.* Yesterday, the machine booted fine and functioned completely normally.* There was quite a bit of wind here in CA and the power was flakey yesterday, but the thing is on a UPS, so I rule that out. When I went to turn it on today, it won't boot at all.* I do not get any signal to my monitor over any of the DVI connectors.* All fans spin up (chassis and CPU) and the HDD and DVD ROM devices do spin up.* The case I'm using lacks a speaker, so I can't get a beep code (I did find a small speaker thing in my spare parts that looks like it hooks into the PC speaker header, but it doesn't make any noise after hooking it up.* I'm not sure it works.) Things I've tried so far: I've reseated the video card Moved the RAM around into different slots Checked all the connections I'm thinking I'll have to strip it down and build it back up.* I do have some extra DDR2 RAM I can try swapping around with; I just need to sort out which of the extra is good.

if anyone is wondering why i might have been blabbing negatively in the channel 8* thread - here is why.. shopping! :p *if youre bored read on In Canada we have a store called Canadian Tire - basically a home depot / rona type store. they have been running new ads for (dont laugh) Debbie Travis Closet Organizer > the gist*of which is - why try to screw mounted closet systems in place using levels etc - when you can just by ready to assemble "columns" that you can choose?* (wardrobe one, shelf one, drawer one) all designed in a white*cape code / maine beach house style. plus its on sale. So i thought ( of our rickety - bent closet posts and shelves that have been here since we moved in 9 years ago...* good idea!* ill get that - and rip out all this old crap - plus if we move they arnt atached to house - so we can take them.* done deal. *goes online - checks products / size measurements ... all ok - reads user reviews - all good - instructions suck - ok..* notice that every piece is sold separate - drawers, shelves, ( the columns come with only 2 or 3 shelves..* in other words - its designed to make you buy all this extra stuff. so at this point - i figure i better check Ikea - ... go there (www) check all shelves / alternatives / combinations.. any of which come out to over 1200$* (even the plain white shelf stuff) ...go back to candaian tire site.. add up actual cost - even with all the pieces... 420$ ok thats good enough for me - lets go do it! we'll go through all our clothes.. organize everything.. gung ho - off we go. There is a new SUPERSTORE CT in our neighbourhood (opened*in sept.)* SO we go in - and find the display (up high) - uh- oh no boxes under it. Wait for a sales rep...* finally one comes.. "Hi you know your tv ad - with the debbie travis shelves, these ones - right here? - do you have them in stock? I dont see any boxes" "hold on sir ... wait wait wait wait (number 264756 bla bla ...* comes back.. this one is in stock - but i dont know about this one ( the wardrobe column)..* me: " ok - could you find out please?* its the ones from the NEW AD you are running on tv.* i went to your website - apparently there are many pieces (shelves, drawers, doors - that are separate.* can you check if you have those in stock too?" "hold on sir ...* comes back - i dont know sir we have this piece is all i can tell you me - um ok...* thanks - leaves - goes to customer service.. "hi im leaving - but i just wanted to point out that i came here to buy 500$ worth of what you are advertising on tv - but salesman could even tell us if it was in stock have a nice day. we left. Punchline:* after leaving tory says - do you have my wallet? i say no. she has left it in the cart with 600$ cash in it..* we race back - its siting there in a cart in an aisle untouched... so now im glad they are so inept :p i feel better now edit: this thing: http://www.canadianbride.com/ctire/images/CT_p17_1.jpg More...
