As a French /. user when I click on some stories I end up on a page asking me to 'accept cookies' where I have to click an 'accept button' in order to read the story. Not only it's not a pleasant browsing experience, but it is the only part of this site where I am forced to enable Javascript in order to browse (I usually disable Javascript on my mobile browser in order to save battery). I understand that you want to comply to local laws and such, but many other sites have a way less intrusive way to remember me about cookies (usually some text at the top of the front page).

Programming .NET 3.5 224

lamaditx writes "The world of the .NET framework is taken to the next level by the release of .NET 3.5. The intended audience of this book are experienced .NET programmers. There are no sections that tell you details about C#, SQL servers or anything like that. I don't recommend this book if you never worked on a .NET project and don't know how to set up a SQL database. You should be aware that the code is written in C#. You might use one of the software code converters if you prefer Visual Basic instead. I think the code is still readable even if you do not know C#. I appreciate the fact that the authors decided to use one language only because it keeps the book smaller. The authors assume you are using Visual Studio 2008. You don't necessarily need to update to 2008 if you are working with an older edition because you can use the free Express Edition to get started." Keep reading for the rest of Adrian's review.
