Ian Hickson, editor of both the W3C and WHATWG.  I can only imagine that his insanely ugly website is a parody of the fact that he is the keeper of the HTML standard.

The latest round of Mideast revolts seem to be influenced by record high food prices.  The FAO has the data on its site.

ClickOnce

ClickOnce deployment solves a number of maintenance and logistics issues, while adding a few new concerns.  No longer does a warm body need to run around updating PCs.

But how do you update and track various versions?  The manifest contains information about a specific version of a ClickOnce application and the various supporting assemblies in a human readable XML format.  The "assemblyIdentity" element specifies the primary assembly for the application while the "dependency" element lists all the prerequisites assemblies.

The manifest is also accompanied by a precompiled manifest named *.CDF-MS.

Look into using MSBuild to publish the ClickOnce to the Web.

For concurrent deployments, make sure to change the assembly name and product name.
