>I use LINQPad a lot as my "command line" replacement for .NET. It's really handy for trying out things that you'd normally create a dummy project for (ex. what the heck is the correct string format code for this, or there are 5 properties that sound the same - which one do I want?).

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
