For Windows, I found Microsoft's own free [XML Notepad](https://microsoft.github.io/XmlNotepad/) to be a great simple to use editor with a nice selection of features. Used it for both reviewing my XML output when developing and editing broken iTunes' libraries. ;) Requires .net 2.0

Static methods cannot be inherited or overridden, and that is why they can't be abstract. Since static methods are defined on the type, not the instance, of a class, they must be called explicitly on that type. So when you want to call a method on a child class, you need to use its name to call it. This makes inheritan...

This also works: ``` host_name = Socket.getaddrinfo(current_ip,nil) append_to_file("#{host_name[0][2]} - #{current_ip} - #{mac_addr}\n") ``` I'm not sure why `gethostbyaddr` didn't also work.

If you return IEnumerator, it will be a different enumerator object each time call that method (acting as though you reset the enumerator on each iteration). If you return IEnumerable then a foreach can enumerate based on the method with the yield statement.

I've had great success using [NUnit](http://www.nunit.org) as well. I've also used [NMock](http://www.nmock.org) when the need arose for mock objects. As an added bonus, the factory for creating your mock objects is called the Mockery. To facilitate the running of unit tests, I've used [TestDriven.NET](http://testdri...

``` UPDATE table1, table2 SET table1.col1='value', table2.col1='value' WHERE table1.col3='567' AND table2.col6='567' ``` This should work for ya. There is a reference in [the MySQL manual](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/update.html) for multiple tables.

Are you just looking for an IDE, or a full stack (IDE, source control, database, web server)? If just an IDE, I would recommend [NetBeans](http://www.netbeans.org/) or [RadRails](http://www.aptana.com/rails). Both have syntax highlighting, code help, support for Rails projects, code completion, and basically everythi...

I using SQL's Full-text search capabilities, CONTAINS clauses and all - the * is the wildcard in full-text, % is for LIKE clauses only. I've read in several places now that "leading wildcard" searches (e.g. using "*overflow" to match "stackoverflow") is not supported in MS SQL. I'm considering using a [CLR function...
How do you get leading wildcard full-text searches to work in SQL Server?

How can I connect to a remote SQL server using Mac OS X? I don't really need a GUI, but it would be nice to have for the color coding and resultset grid. I'd rather not have to use a VM. Is there a SQL client for Mac OS X that works with MS SQL Server?

I've noticed a lot of sites, SO included, use XHTML as their mark-up language and then fail to adhere to the spec. Just browsing the source for SO there are missing closing tags for paragraphs, invalid elements, etc. So should tools (and developers) use the XHTML doctype if they are going to produce invalid mark up?

I wouldn't use XHTML at all just to save myself the philosophical stress. It's not like any browsers are treating it like XHTML anyway. Browsers will reject poor mark-up if the page is sent as application/xhtml+xml, but they rarely are. This is fine. I would be more concerned about things like inline use of CSS and J...

So long as it works in IE, FF, Safari, (insert other browser here) you should be okay. Validation isn't as important as having it render correctly in multiple browsers.

I say, if it renders OK, then it doesn't matter if it's pixel perfect. It takes a while to get a site up and running the way you want it, going back and making changes is going to change the way the page renders slightly, then you have to fix problems. Now, I'm not saying you should built sloppy web pages, but I se...

There are so many standards and they are so badly "enforced" or supported that I don't think it matters. Don't get me wrong, I think there should be standards but because they are not enforced, nobody follows them and it's a massive downward spiral.

Yes, that's possible - you can use INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE. Using your example: ``` INSERT INTO table (id,Col1,Col2) VALUES (1,1,1),(2,2,3),(3,9,3),(4,10,12) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE Col1=VALUES(Col1),Col2=VALUES(Col2); ```
