UPDATE: I pasted the entire source for Mr. Kraft. Having said that, this is probably my first real WinForms app, so please dissect and critique as well if you feel like it. Also, to make the critiquing less painful for me, I should note that I wrote this app very quickly, so I have a task of refactoring and improving design for it assign...
After days of messing with it, i got my web deployment project to do what i want. It compiles the site, makes a copy, modified the web.config in the copy to point to a different database, zips up the copy and deletes the copy folder leaving only the zip file behind.

A little bit of background: I'm building an inverted index for a search engine. I was originally using PHP, but because of the amount of times I needed to write to disk, I wanted to make a threaded indexer. There's a problem with that because PHP is not thread safe.

One wrinkle is having to search for the appropriate stylesheet, and then once found, I look through the selectorText attributes of documents.styleSheets[i].cssRules for known usernames. At first, I used the following code to search for us...
I am making my way through Joe Armstrong's book on programing Erlang. I came up with the following answer for the ring benchmark question. The code works but I am not sure if it is "Erlangic" (for lack of a better word). In particular I am not sure if I am using too many Guards. Can more experienced programmers critique the code? I had...
