WHY OPTIONAL PARAMETERS ARE BAD IN .NET

I had someone tell me that optional parameters are great. In some situations I would agree, but normally speaking, I believe that optional parameters are not as great as they are cracked up to be. I couldn't find any reasons off the top of my head, but I'm going to start compiling a list and would like any feedback.

1. You can't use Databinder.Eval on a property that uses optional parameters.
   

NVIDIA ADVANCED DISPLAY SETTINGS TAB MISSING SOLUTION

After reinstalling Windows XP and installing all the updates, I wondered, where did my NVidia tab go to adjust the special settings for my graphics card. Well I have an easy answer for anyone with the same problem. It lies in one of the Microsoft patches. I installed them all and by process of elimination found that patch KB908531 was the culprit. I therefore uninstalled it and the NVidia tab was returned for use. This should work for all NVidia cards and may work with ATI if the problem is the same. If you have any questions, just post them and I'll reply back with any help I can provide.

THIS IS HILARIOUS...

This is well worth the 6 minutes you'll spend watching it. I had to put it out here to share it with even more people.

WHY START THIS BLOG...

I can say that I've never really been a fan of blogs unless they had something important for me to read. After reading an article and becoming frustrated with what I read, I decided that I needed my own spot on the web to express how I feel about some things an hopefully get some feedback. I'll be posting things, hopefully regularly, and I hope that people will read them, think about them, and respond.

My first post will be coming soon about the article I read. The article was good, but there was one statement that kind of drove me nuts. Maybe you'll agree...
