@Chris, in my opinion, flexible hours just mean scattered work day, full of breaks and intervals as well. As long as you're not spending time on these things when you have a problem at hand, I'd say it's fair and reasonable.

Well put Sergio, I agree... mostly. This doesn't really apply to your gamers example, but There is a problem for some though:

What if your time isn't logged as billable? You're salaried and are on-call at any time of the day? If your employer expects you to be flexible during after-hours, should they allow you to be flexible during work-hours? Flexible in terms of (Twitter, blogs, mailing lists, etc)

This is just something that has come up with myself and few others over the past couple days and I'm not really sure what to think of it.

@Nicolas,

You're absolutely right. I don't know what I was thinking. Good thing I didn't wait :)

Hello Sergio. Great article, and I'm glad you took the time to post this.

Regarding the change to de US Intl layout, I think it's not going to happen. Other languages like spanish uses the ü char as well, so I think your solution will be most appreciated by your fellow portuguese speakers.

I have always had this kind of nag with the dead letters and programming, so I'll try to move over this special chars to other combinations so I can use ' and " freely.

Thanks again!

Nicolas,

Named/optional parameters was pretty much the only thing I missed when I moved from VB.NET to C#, good to see that in 4.0

@Ed, I was actually planning to do just that anyway. I also modified the code a little bit to use a namespacing object to hold all those stinking global functions that the original code had. It works almost the same way, you just need to remember to prefix the calls with "CHARTABLE" or "this" (for code inside CHARTABLE.)

Could you add some explanation or at least comments to that JS code?

@Dirk, moving to F# will not kill my language envy :) I'm stubborn and I wish I had that kind of thing in C# too.
