UML cool link

found this link to be real cool, and a good beginning for those who want to learn UML (unified modelling language) and use some jargons in their IT life.
Opening Visual Studio 2003 project into Visual Studio 2002
1. In SLN files, the 8.0 must be replaced with 7.0.
2. In vcproj files (and only vcproj), the 7.10 part must be replaced by 7.0. Note: The portion of MC++ projects will be incompatible with VS.NET 2002 since it uses #using statements from 'stdafx.h'.
3. In VB.NET or C# project files, 7.10.3077 is replaced with 7.0.9466.
4. Also in VB.NET and C# projects, the schema version 2.0 should be replaced with 1.0.
5. In RESX files, the types declared are 1.0.5000 and must be replaced with 1.0.3300.
Again, in RESX files (binary streams), the base-64 encoded part that describes the version of the stream must also change from LjAuNTAw to LjAuMzMw (basically base-64-encoded versions of 1.0.5000 and 1.0.3300 respectively)
To convert from VS.NET 2002 to VS.NET 2003, just apply this process backwards.
Appreciate flaws in people, ye shall be rewarded
A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck.One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the House, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of it's own imperfection. And miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side ca! uses water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts", the pot said.The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw. So I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house?
Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. Remember to appreciate all! the different people in your life.
