    Be careful, citizen.

  3. Re:So... on Ernie Ball - Model For Open-Source Transition? · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of a story my Dad told me.

    The company he worked for gathered a large group of employees at an offsite location and subjected them to a presentation on saving money.
    The facilitators described in great detail what steps everyone present was expected to take and how, by working together, they could save the company a lot of valuable resources.
    Of course, the cost of all this was flexibility and adaptability, but so what? They were saving money! (This was unspoken).
    Later, one of the guys responsible for the whole shebang asked Dad what he thought.
    Before he had a chance to stop himself he said "You want to save some money? Why don't we shut down and save it all?"
    Naturally, the guy was pissed, but the point remains: you can't get rich by saving money.

  4. Re:Multi-threaded timing on Practical C++ Programming, Second Edition · · Score: 1

    I've had some success by setting breakpoints in the code, hitting CTRL + F5 to get the dll running, then loading the object.
    It seems to me that if you don't have the .dll registered (maybe even if you do, I can't remember) that the calling program executes the one you have running in the IDE and you can then treat it the same way you would an .exe that is in step-mode.

    Hope that helps.

    I love popfile, but my main client doesn't support POP mail, so I can't use it there. Unfortunately, a whole lot of spam hits that account. Higher in this thread was talk of making popfile IMAP-capable - let's hope it happens.

    I used to work as a lead on a tape backup team.
    Every morning a truck pulled up to our dock with expired backups.
    Part of the job was returning those tapes to our library.

    We were short of manpower.
    80,000K+ router techs were volunteering to reslot tapes at time*1.5 because we were short on
    manpower.
    My idiot of a boss was paying for it.

    People will certainly take money to do what they are overqualified to do.

    Damn.
    I use POPFile at about 98% accuracy and get around 300 emails per day, sorted into 4 categories (nostly spam).
    I'm happy to report that I've only had one good email reported as SPAM in over 14,000 emails, and considering the content, I'm not surprised.

    I'd rather have a false positive than a false negative.

    I love POPFile
