At the current time of writing I'am working on a project using the .net 3.5 sp1 Framework.I encountered a strange error while trying to return a DataTable from a webservice using WCF.

R&B star Usher has found himself in the middle of an bizarre plagiarism claim -- with people saying he's ripped off a song by Homer Simpson. Below is the YouTube video. It actually does sound the same. I can't help but laugh, Homer is a musical genius. :-P

It's Christmas week and there is only three of us at the office. What a bunch of dumbasses. :-) My friends already phoned me to let me know they are sleeping in, playing play station and eating take away. And me? Work work work. Guess I've got one thing to say: Unlucky! Hope you are all enjoying the holidays.

Rounding up (Ceiling) Days and Months in a DateTimeRange C#

This is something I required for billing reports and I struggled to find anything like it on the internet. So here it goes. If you are pulling a report and you want to calculate a partial month as one month, this is how you would calculate it: private Int32 GetMonthCountFromDateTimeRange(DateTimeRange oDateTimeRange) { DateTime endDate = oDateTimeRange.Stop ?? DateTime.Now;

Send 60-year-old astronauts to Mars on a one-way trip to save money, say scientists

2010-11-22T09:27:00.000+02:00

Scientists believe the best way to colonise Mars would be to start by sending elderly astronauts on a one-way mission to the red planet. Two scientists are suggesting that colonisation of the red planet would be faster and cheaper if astronauts behaved like the first settlers to come to North America - not expecting to go home. The less said reason is because the mission would undoubtedly

Road kill soft toys

With Christmas coming up what is more perfect than Road kill soft toys? Makers say they make perfect gifts for sociopaths… and could be ideal for traumatising your little one on Christmas morning, though they suggest not gifting them to under 14s. I would love to have on. It would go perfectly with my Rayman's raving rabbids and happy tree friends collection. Currently there are three

Two Russian traffic cops on the freeway doing what they do best. Luckily a car with one head light out drove past and the one officer pulled him over. As he was talking to the driver they heard a noise and the weirdest thing happened. A pack of hungry wolves came running out of the woods, straight towards them. The officer jumped into the vehicle and closed the door in the nick of time. I would

Most South Africans know the famed Blue Eyes by Springbok Nude Girls. It has become some what of an nostalgic anthem, being used in multiple ads and sang by the masses. The other day I had an interesting conversation as someone told me that the song is based on a father that kills his entire family and blue eyes is his daughter that got away. He sing to her that he is coming for her and that
