Comment on the viewport meta tag, and iPhone by Robert

Actually, what happens is mobile Safari thinks that device width is the width from when the document first load. So, when switching orientation the browser isn’t able to readjust the layout properly. To avoid this mess, just set your viewport meta tag like this:
name=name=”viewport” content=”initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0;”
This will allow the layout to rescale from portrait to landscape mode the way native apps do.

Comment on the other thing about “using” blocks by DCam

@Teevus: You’re right. I try to speak to anonymous scopes in the very last example, but yes, they can be free standing as well. I wouldn’t want to use a “using” statement only to produce a scope, because an anonymous scope would do the same job more simply. Even when I am tempted to use an anonymous scope to limit some variable, I try to think up a good name for the scope and turn it in to a method.

Or you can just enclose the variable declaration and usage in a pair of curly brases (also works for non-IDisposable variables):

{
var f = File.OpenText(“/path/ro/file”);
contents = f.ReadToEnd();
}
f.ReadToEnd(); // Unknown identifier at compile time

Comment on remote desktop connection to localhost: a regression in Windows 7? by Eric

Confirming, you do not need to enable “Local ports accept connections from other hosts”. Just change the IP as above to 127.0.0.2 and continue to use as normal.

Very happy, thanks for this!

@Adam: Does TestDisk recover the filenames too?

Comment on objective-c test doubles on the cheap with brutal cast by DCam

DCam — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 14:09:01 +0000

I like the “id” syntax. It is much cleaner than using a cast.

Unfortunately, the code base I was using this on was configured so that any use of id was a compile time error. We had to use casts there. On other code bases I’ll use id.
