Sorry, I didn't know you were having a bad day...
You know it's OK, you'll get a real girlfriend one day... On the bright side, at least you're not living in your parents basement anymore! Also, if you think that I'm going to stop posting because you're being a douchebag, let me tell you that you're very mistaken.

You're going to show me? Cool. Rebel away.
When I scan down the comments and a sizeable number are from C-Octomom, it makes me say "C ya later".
Admin
Ok, bye! Good to know you're social disorder won't be smeared here anymore...
Admin
I know, the truth hurts sometimes... frits
Admin
This, ladies and germs, is an example of C#'s reflection capabilities.
Admin
Christ on a bike man, get a life...
I thought you said you were leaving?
Admin
"Mr. Clean" is not me buddy. Apparently you've picked up some haters. Keep arguing with them. I'm sure it'll work out well for you.
But do me a favor, keep my "name" out of your little flame games, M'Okay?
Admin
I can confirm that. I got my first Apple II in 1981. Sounds like 30 years to me. Visicalc was soooo cool!
Admin
FTFY. HAND.
Admin
Funny because I was going to do that, but thought it might be overkill.
Admin
Nah, you're irritating personality is just what everyone loves about you. Keep telling yourself that.

Admin
Please do not feed the trolls. Half of the posts in this thread belong to a single loser responding to trollbait. Boring.
Admin
No. We only test that things work.
We assume our error handling works fine.
Admin
Brillant!
Admin
Or perhaps that's pedantic fueled-rage?
Admin
I have a degree (which means little, but helped me get my first Job). I have an ITIL Foundations certificate (but know somehwere near nothing about ITIL) I have an Advanced SQL certificate (but am not much use with DBs beyond mildly complex queries - usually not very efficient either, according to the DBAs) I have a WebMethods certificate (and I won't even admit how little I know on that front).
Yup. Looks like I've got certificates in stuff I don't know, and have nothing to show for what I do know...
Admin
Oh a good old fashioned fisty-cuff.
Watch the immaturity in the ol' boys' club
BTW "Mr Clean": Unregistered users could be anyone, so although I agree that there may be many people that disklike c-Octo, he did seem to be arguing with one or two that were simply changing their names...Perhaps he assumed you were one of them.
Admin
Or maybe you don't know anything....
Admin
My gf told me not even to think about asking for that ...

One obvious benefit that is easily realised with a good monitoring tool is that the system administrators will gain more insight into the systems, which allows them to react better & quicker to incidents. A team of 2-3 full time system administrators can handle 150 servers if there is a proper environment (change management, monitoring, proper hardware & automated (standardized) installs.
Another benefit is that management will have insight into the performance of the infrastructure (downtime, reaction time -> do you meet SLAs).
Also a monitoring tool can be used in the development cycle for gathering a lot of metrics about your applications. For instance my preferred monitoring tool (zabbix) can gather information on slow database queries from MySQL, performance data from Tomcat, etc. We also used it to monitor our application during stress testing.
Admin
Well at least the guy is trying and while he may not be fully aware of all the built in functions, he has identified a problem and put a solution in. A lot of other people wouldn't even go this far. Everyone is critical of him but no one here knows all the functionality in .NET.
Admin
redirect all errors to a given location like, errors.aspx
TRWTF. Don't touch my location bar, you silly web page!
Admin
Pah. It can be done such that your location bar is never touched (and if you're so upset about that, install Web Developer and disable it).
TRWTF, apart from all the WTFery above, would be to not return the appropriate HTTP response code.
Admin
pedantry fueled-rage
Admin
Have you every delegated to a logger of some sort on catching an exception? What would happen if the exception indicated out-of-memory (std::bad_alloc in C++)? Almost any attempt to log an error message requires operations that could also run out of memory and throw the same exception, and probably will if you are already out of memory. In logging code there can be good reasons to deliberately consume exceptions (yep, the otherwise awful empty catch clause).
Admin
Seems like what certificates are for: things you don't really want to learn but every job offer's asking for.
Admin
Yeah, that would be great, but make sure to not report several times the same errors, and don't send an email for each error if there are several to report.
Bonus points if the cron is on a different server, the logs are on a different server, that different server tests if the other is working, and if refrains from sending emails of the same severity after it send a few of them for a time, so it doesn't overflow your inbox.

Did anyone else notice that Brian is an anagram for Brain?
Admin
... and the word gape is an anagram for the word page... I don't know if I follow.

The only reason there's "C-Octohating" is because he's posting from a registered account; all his comments are tied to a single registered username. He could constantly change his name, make hundreds of annoying comments under new names, draw any hate toward sockpuppets which he later abandons, and completely dodge any residual hate (since he'd always be a "different person"). But he doesn't. And I'm glad for that; there's enough people already doing that here.
Yes, he does have an irritating personality. Duh. So do I. So do you. So does everyone. Hell, I challenge you to find one person who's posted a comment on the internet who hasn't irritated someone somewhere by doing so (and keep in mind that I reserve the right to be instantly irritated by any examples you offer on the basis that they may invalidate this comment).Admin

Admin
Surely you mean pedantry-fuelled rage.
Admin
Admin
Yes. My friend Brian noticed that.
Admin
People don't just find Jesus irritating. They downright hate him. Ever read a book by an atheist? For someone that they say never even existed, he makes them awfully mad.
John 7:7 - The world ... hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil.
Admin
Then again, atheists that are fanatical enough to write books about how great it is to hate Jesus might actually be full of hate. Maybe it'd be better to clarify that you're talking specifically about those pricks.
Admin
And maybe you could cite some particular atheists who write books about "how great it is to hate Jesus". I don't think I've ever seen one.
(come to think of it, I have read books by atheists - plenty of them. Just not the ones where they talk about being atheists.)
Admin
However, I can think of atheists who didn't write such books. Douglas Adams was a self-proclaimed "radical atheist", but didn't write books hating on Jesus, or even denying his existence. He even acknowledges Jesus in some books:

Sorry, I was trying to aim the question at Jay, but quoting you probably made that unclear.

"On that page, you can call Server.GetLastError() to get all the error deatils you'd like, including a full stack trace."
More like:
"On that page, you can call Server.GetLastError() to get null."

TRWTR is generating XML using the built-in API for it. I bet that that API was done by some over-zealous architect who convinced everyone that one day the XML format might just change.

Having static error page makes sense (although I admit I know nothing about ASP or IIS) : in the event a library used by your project throws an exception, handling the errors in a dynamic page would likely trigger the same exception again ...
Admin
He might have been thinking of Nietzsche, but I feel like I'm giving him too much credit.
Admin
Religious fanaticals and atheists fanaticals are the problem. Fanaticals have to hate, because they are some type of trolls.
I hate fanaticals.

TRWTF is:
There are plenty of environments which require parallel ports. A USB to parallel cable is not reliable enough for use in some instances.
