I, like the Math loser, went to Warwick and can tell you it is one of the worst Universities in the country for quality muff (1 in 20 in my opinion is being generous). Had he surveyed more appropriate Universities such as Notingham or Leeds then he probably would have had a completely different result. Also I hate the fact that Warwick is deemed as being near London in the summary. It is actually about two and a half hours from London and if you drew a circle around London with Warwick being the radius it would include most of Southern England.

seems like a contentious idea stated as a fact. I recomend reading this book which is freely downloadable, since it may help you see the other side of the "usefulness of patents". Although I do agree sometimes patents are useful, such as in the pharmaceutical industry, where formulae must be published and bringing the product to market is a phenomenally large investment, I do not think your blanket assertion is valid.

Actually they have addressed the HTML encoding in ASP.net 4.0: http://haacked.com/archive/2009/09/25/html-encoding-code-nuggets.aspx Although I agree it has taken quite a while, but sometimes one does need to output with and without the encoding, so I find it nice to have an explicit and easily identifiable way to do both.
