It reminds me of a commercial we have in this area where someone is trying to sell their house so they ask the police to temporarily reroute the interstate highway by the house so they get maximum visibility. cgf ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 24+ messages in thread

Now, what do web services have to do with this discussion? > This thread was the classic example of "I'm trying to port my > application.

With a short answer of "No." :-) Note that this isn't even a porting question -- the application is just buggy since it looks for a hard-coded DLL name to load dynamically. The application itself isn't even a Cygwin application. Yikes. > It reminds me of a commercial we have in this area where someone is > trying to sell their house so they ask the police to temporarily reroute > the interstate highway by the house so they get maximum visibility.

And besides, doesn't having a house right next to the interstate highway decrease its value dramatically?
