I'm not going to explain managed code. There are plenty of other resources.

I use lots of tools, many of them Open Source.

Rocky is no longer the mayor, thanks goodness.

>"Managed Code" - What exactly does that mean, Graig,. Do you know?

>Is it like "Managed Reality"? =)

>To your humble narrator it sounds like Microsoft Marketing Bait for the Redmond Shrimp Fest!

>Come on, Graig: "Managed Code"? (I can't believe you ain't a snickering every time you hear that phrase)

>That term is a technical air fern. A pet rock to make the NET hillbillies feel all warm and necessary inside.

>It means anything. It means everything. It means nothing. Pure MVP gobbledygook.

>Anytime one object communicates with another object it's COM.

>Therefore, "Managed Code" is COM anyway you script it, unless, of couse, "Managed Code" projects are bi-polar and only talk to themselves and the "waking dream" shadows when the meds are timing out.

>You need to read more than below the fold of the Microsoft Sponsored Pocket Protector Section in the Salt Lake City Gazette! (BTW - is Rocky still Mayor?).

>Microsoft admitted it intentionally built in back doors (exploits) into most, if not all of it's products and services, including the OS, IIS and Hot Mail. They've admitted it. Those exploits are not accidents or the result of a fat-finger mistake.
>
>The exploits are intentional. There are police state and industrial espionage considerations that Gates and Balmer the Palmer don't talk about when getting soft-shoed with "how zit hanging" questions from light on the toes Charlie Rose. You know this - at least you should. I understand that denial can be a wonderful thing when groping for that second basket of Redmond Shrimp - but so can a change of diet.:-)

>Here's a short `n cool video (to the tune of "Low Rider") about social consciousness based on the 100th monkey syndrome studied by anthropologists. It has many messages - but most importantly it talks about how we don't really accept the artificial reality ("Managed Reality") conditioned by our zoo keepers. Underneath all the bovine excrement our keepers force us to wallow in, our subconscious knows the facts and the truth. Read the words as the tune swoons.

>PS - I still love your tie. Don't be victimized by "Managed Reality".

>Keep it wet!

>PS : NET ain't the only tool, nor is it the most widely used. The world is a lot bigger than NET! (or is it NOT?)
