That’s why...]]> Tue, 17 Mar 2009 17:54:23 -0400 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 17:54:23 -0400 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 17:54:23 -0400 Mar 17, 2009 Vitaly Mikheev 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=53968 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:10:05 -0400 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:10:05 -0400 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:10:05 -0400 Mar 17, 2009 Vijay Kandy 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=53968 There is an (owful) phenomenon in the industry concerning “emulation of old bugs just to let the existing applications work”. We are still a long way from removing that bad practice from the software platforms but I hoped to make a decent...]]> Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:38:43 -0400 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:38:43 -0400 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:38:43 -0400 Mar 17, 2009 James Watson 1 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=53968 James, I understand your point, but IMO you need to grade on a curve. Lots of developers read things into an API's contract, even when they shouldn't; it doesn't make them "bad developers" but simply "busy developers" in a lot of...]]> Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:28:43 -0400 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:28:43 -0400 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:28:43 -0400 Mar 17, 2009 James Watson 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=53968 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:18:23 -0400 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:18:23 -0400 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:18:23 -0400 Mar 17, 2009 Joseph Ottinger 1 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=53968 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:06:42 -0400 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:06:42 -0400 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:06:42 -0400 Mar 16, 2009 Vitaly Mikheev 2 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=53968 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:19:59 -0400 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:19:59 -0400 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:19:59 -0400 Mar 16, 2009 Rich Sharples 3 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=53968 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:42:44 -0400 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:42:44 -0400 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:42:44 -0400 Mar 16, 2009 Billy Newport 0 http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=53968 Is it news? Not if you've not run into the problem before.
