most IR detectors are tuned to a particular wavelength (850-950nm). most are also tuned to a particular pulse frequency (~38kHz). one such detector is the PNA4612M00XD from panasonic, it's about $3 from digikey.com and is commonly used in TV/VCR-type remote control receivers.
yeah, you would have thought that Adobe, the people tht brought us Postscript could write half-decent font rendering code, but no...
On the MaxOSX it looks great (I'm guessing they use the Mac's native font rendering), but on my XP box it looks like something from the mid 80's compared to the cleartype that everything else is done with.
yup, TS is much, much more intelligen than VNC. VNC sucks for anything more than 100M. The only thing wrong with the TS client is the rebinding of the common shortcuts (like ctrl-esc, etc...)
the problem is that the australian authorities are unlikely to charge these americans under this law. the question is whether extradition is available for civil charges brought by (possibly many) autralians against said americans?
compiler optimizations such as code motion, stack compression, local elimination (register usage), frame pointer omission and inlining often make debugging a release build impossible. some debuggers handle this stuff better than others, but none that I've seen do it acceptibly.
in my view you can't have enough assert()s, and it's unlikely that you'll want to kill the performance of a release build by including all this diagnostic code. if your assert() macro is a pain to use (such as the standard unix printf/exit behaviour), then use something different. I like the MS abort/retry/ignore assert dialog that give you a choice to quit, attach a debugger, or ignore the assert.
for debug builds you often want to make use of other diagnostic utilities such as heap consistency checkers which alter the behaviour of malloc, that would definitely hurt performance of your app were you to include them in the final version.
you're talking about 5.25" disks, it's impossible for a drive to spin a 3.5" disk inserted the wrong way round, besides it's more than a latch that stops a 3.5" disk from being inserted the wrong way round, there's a psot in the corner where the notch is that blocks incorrect insertions.
exactly, have you ever, ever seen anything auctioned on ebay where the source address was in india?

Qt vs MFC
·
· Score: 2
Don is wrong. The IDEs for Visual C++ (versions 2 through 6) were all MFC apps. In fact, the original creators of MFC were the ones that wrote the 'new' shell for VC2.0 (the one with the dockable windows). The Doc/View architecture of MFC was derived from the framework for an unreleased product codenamed Sequioa that was destined to become VC2.0, but which was canned in '92 to free resources for shipping VC1.0. I believe PictureIt! was also an MFC app, as is WordPad.

The first two charts clearly state Oracle and Mysql beat SQL Server in throughput and response time
If you read the article, it says:
Due to its significant JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) driver problems, SQL Server was limited to about 200 pages per second for the entire test.
I've used these drivers for transferring data to a PostgreSQL database and they're useless, and MS doesn't pretend otherwise. I can't find it now, but they state that the drivers are unoptimized, unsupported, beta quality and will probably remain that way indefinitely. They're definitely not something I'd recommend using for benchmarking.
Have all libraries, such as ADO.net or the forms libraries, been submitted to standard bodies
Were Sun's libraries submitted to a review board before release? How long after Java's release was the JCP created? How easy is it for the JCP to make sweeping changes to the original spec?
how about kbuild that has been ready for a fucking eon? yeah, yeah, it's a big patch, so were the first few that went into 2.5, and kbuild2.5 was ready then, too. and still we wait for kai to pretent he's helping...

i doubt it. windows 98/ME is the most IHV-supported OS. It's easy to find '98 drivers for everything, but try finding 2k/XP drivers... especially for the kind of hardware these guys were using when they started the project a few years ago. (for example, the 2k drivers for my wireless card were released just before XP, they crashed all over the place (BSoD) and were generally useless, the XP drivers have only justbeen released, although they're much better, mostly because XP does all the UI and you don't have to use the crappy 3rd-party piece-of-shit).

i want unscaled, square pixels: the native resolution of the display. all the modes you listed above are for the analog input, not relevant to me.

actually, yes. in c#, the following is illegal:
/* FOLLOW THROUGH */
/* FOLLOW THROUGH */
switch (value)
{
case 0:
DoSomething();
case 1:
DoSomethingElse();
break;
}
you need to do:
switch (value)
{
case 0:
DoSomething();
goto case 1;
case 1:
DoSomethingElse();
break;
}
the reasoning being that it's better (more readable) to have explicitly defined follow throughs.

don't get me started on the ActiveX control...
are the win2k servers on a domain? if so it might be that your domain controller is overloaded and the delay is authenticating the network request.

A few quotes and the standard journalist rambling. It might be appropriate on this day to find out/brush up on how they work.
6/18: MS sends MS01-33: Unchecked Buffer in Index Server ISAPI Extension Could Enable Web Server Compromise - Run code of attacker's choice.
7/18: CodeRed hits, those of us who installed the MS01-33 patch laugh.
7/30: MS et al send out another alert uring people to read MS01-33 and install the patch.
you can't return multiple rowsets from a stored procedure.
