1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

Should WaitOne have been named WaitOn?

|
|
|
|

Hmmm,
I think the One in the name is referring to the number of objects you are waiting on. The Windows API equivalent would probably be WaitForSingleObject[^].

+5 Good thought.

Of course, I'm assuming that you were referring to WaitOne[^]. 
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe, if "wait one" implies a time limit, but "wait on" does not.

Nope. WaitOne means you're waiting on a single signal as opposed to WaitAny and WaitAll. The term "WaitOn" could mean "wait on one signal" or "wait on any signal" or "wait on all", all of which are very ambiguous with the adjective "on". When dealing with threads and signaling, being very clear is critical for successful task/thread management.

Requirements: 8 G Ram. That's crazy. I can't remember what I had on my PC when it came out, but surely less than 256 K. Maybe only 128K.

I think that's probably the min requirement for either Windows or the Epic store. I'm pretty sure it doesn't need an Intel Core i5-750 (or those graphics cards) either.

Whoever was responsible for this should be caned in front of a live studio audience.

Personally, I'd prefer Chuck Norris whale on them for half an hour.

Well we know at least one person reads the CCC.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, actually, I was the whale-cane firestorm perpetrator. I set the clue. 
|
|
|
|
|
Why would half an hour be necessary? That many Chuck Norris blows in the same direction would knock Earth out of it's orbit.
