    Wanna play the game? congrats, you are now, and I just lost!!!


    I just lost The Game!

    If you were already playing The Game, you have 30 minutes to forget you ever read this (Sorry, but I’m just following the rules). If you weren’t already playing, you are now.

    Welcome to The Game.

    Rules
    1. To know The Game is to play The Game. One can never stop playing.
    2. To think of The Game is to lose The Game.
    3. When one loses The Game, one must announce to all present that one has lost. (For example, “I just lost The Game!")
    4. To hear about a loss is to earn -thirty minutes- to forget about The Game.

    Googling Illegal?


    Found this in my aggregator this AM, and it was quite disturbing...

    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20050712.gtgoogle0712/BNStory/Technology/?query=googling

    From Globeandmail: 

    Could it be possible that Canada will make Google or any other Internet search and archiving engines illegal?

    Bill C-60, which amends the Copyright Act and received its first reading in the House of Commons on June 20, suggests it could be illegal for anyone to provide copyrighted information through "information-location tools," which includes search engines.

    Ottawa copyright lawyer Howard Knopf, of the law firm of Macera & Jarzyna Moffat & Co., has been poring over the bill since it was tabled, and says he was startled to discover the potentially negative effect of Bill C-60's provisions on "information location tools."

    Sounds scary...  to read more click http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20050712.gtgoogle0712/BNStory/Technology/?query=googling

    I found Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition CTP - July 2005 (English)???


    july ctp?

     I was scrolling through MSDN Subscriber downloads, and it looks like the folks in Redmond have another gift for us?  I didn't want to copy the whole page, but it looks like last night, a new CTP went up.  Will start the download this afternoon, and we'll see.  Check it out for yourself!  I couldn't post a URL with the way they work the downloads area, all the pages are shown through https://msdn.one.microsoft.com/subscriber/1033/default.asp  and there's no way (that I can see) to link to the actual download page, but go to the menu on the left and scroll down, it's right there after beta1 and beta 2 and the june ctp! 

    details:
