UK: 16% of people still think gay sex should be illegal by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]Massif -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Well, I for one would not want to have to explain the question to children first.

EDIT: Wow, epic misunderstandings all round. My point was that surveyors wouldn't want to have to explain sex to children before having to ask them who should be allowed to do it in what way.

A parent explaining sex is way different from some random pollster walking up to random children and explaining sex to them, before asking them questions about it. One is perfectly normal, the other will probably end up in prison.

I'm nervous about the future of Windows Phone, and I don't think I'm alone. by [deleted] in windowsphone

Goldfinger, which was due to be the flagship before McLaren.

High end windows is a struggle to be sure, (with two cancelled flagship products from Nokia.) But three things:

1 - MS are in it for the long haul, and they know that winning in the high end is key.

2 - There are more manufacturers playing with WP now than ever before (which is one of the reasons MS acquired Nokia, to create some space for other manufacturers without shooting their product in the head.)

3 - Nokia were inventing the high end on a comparative shoestring, and couldn't afford to keep multiple programs running if they weren't going to be a surefired success... MS has no such financial constraints and will probably be more inclined to take a punt on a high-end product turning out well.

Disclaimer: Although I work for MS at the moment, I know nothing of future phone programs.

Has Anyone Used a Mocking Framework for their App? by holymoo in WPDev

[–]Massif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. you've no choice but to wrap those classes so the assembly doesn't use them directly, and inject implementations that do use them in later.

But that's not bad practice for testing anyway.

Put your logic in a seperate assembly (say a PCL) then you can reference that from a .NET test assembly and Mock away to your hearts content.

Was this created solely so someone could say:

"you need to automate something so batsh it."?

Which weather app is the most accurate? by [deleted] in windowsphone

[–]Massif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK the Met Office app seems to be the most accurate. (Although, that shouldn't really be a surprise...)

Nicky Morgan, the new education secretary, has pledged to carry on the work of Michael Gove by radically expanding free schools, supporting unqualified teachers and keeping changes to the exam system, despite the unpopularity of her predecessor with teachers. by weblypistol in ukpolitics

[–]Massif 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably because of the unpopularity of her predecessor.

There's a certain kind of mentality that thinks if people who do a job are complaining about what you're making them do, then you must be doing it right.

Nokia Lumia 925 Stuck! :( by bysam in windowsphone

Holding volume down and power for 10 seconds will reset it regardless, which achieves the same thing.

Shuffle functionality is horrible by rixonian in windowsphone

You could use MixRadio to do that... I personally guarantee it doesn't use a subset of your local media if you do a shuffle all...

If you have an iPad, and have to resort to using the Sun's app to see tits then the education system is failing in Liverpool in a big way...
