Hello world,

My name is not Monster Truck II and I was not born in 1920. But here is something about me that I feel comfortable sharing. I studied physics and computer science at college and enjoy reading (history, politics, and economics) and listening to music.

comment What do small business people do with regards to 'legal' when selling software
Then you must get a lawyer. But here is what my lawyer once advised me -limit your audience religiously. Be very specific in your license on who can use your site and make all other access unauthorised. You can also exclude jurisdictions with a weak history of contract enforcement or where you may not have resources for counter litigation. Display the terms and disclaimers as prominently as possible and do show them before the website is used -not as a footnote. Make the terms/disclaimers accessible to disabled. In many countries you cannot have a non accessible website.

I have deliberately not written much about litigation protection but I can if the OP shows an interest --otherwise I will just be blabbering off topic.

comment Design patterns: Extract instance types into different buckets
@John I entertained that possibility. But then how will canConsume() identify if it can consume a given type? Will it maintain a map of supported classes or use instanceof? I.e., the same problem again.

comment Design patterns: Extract instance types into different buckets
@ReinHenrichs Thanks. I gave them some meaningful names but the essence of the problem is that I want to filter a collection of objects based on what run time type they have.

comment Audit trails and recording actions
You are integrating it with a 3rd party app. Understood. But why does that rule out triggers?

comment How can I prove Google Chrome Web Store that I'm a developer and not a spammer in order to be able to publish my extenssions?
What does Google say to this? If their terms say "We charge this fee in order to verify developer accounts" then surely they must have classified this revenue as not for profit income.

comment C# Classes instance members vs. enum
@TimothyP Correct --but that involves casting etc. which defeats the purpose of OOO. Note that I can achieve GetHue() without extension methods too --e.g., by writing helper classes. But then my helper class/extension method becomes hardwired to the enum.

comment Which Continuous Integration framework do you use and why?
@mliebelt --CI expands to more than just compile checks. You can run unit/integration tests (even with other dependent projects).

comment Design backward and forward button operations of a browser
@Falcon I know stack based solution is universal but I don't find a problem with mouviciel's impl too. Can you shed some more light on "much better suited"?
