Yeah... there were _HUGE_ blocks of code in the application that we inherited that pretty much ignored scope
MVSC++ 6.0 let most of it slide, bit us hard when we took it to 2003.NET and there were a few places that had wacky scoping that
didnt cause an issue till we tried 2005. NET, we are still aways away from transitioning from 2003.NET but if the previous owners of the Code had tried to follow the standards and had followed good coding practices there wouldnt have been as many issues when we compiled with Scope enforcement on:)
Have you tried using precompiled headers for the VS Build ??
Cut our build and link times down by a huge percentage for a 500,000+ SLOC cross compiled project
(linux-gcc) and MSVC++ 2003.NET I havent looked at precompiled headers for the Linux build but on the Win32
side of things it helped a lot nice article here
We Did a test run of a project roughly Twice your Stated Size from VS2003.NET to 2005.NET
and The main issues that cought us were the Company we inherited the project from had very poor Programming practices (Going From VC6 to 2003.Net was a nightmare due to their sloppiness)
so things like this (which you shouldnt be doing anyway):
{
for (int i=0; i< someLimit; i++) { doSomething(i);
}
for (i=0; i< someLimit2; i++) { doSomething2(i);
} }
Wont Work Anymore
Several deprecation issues but overall it was a fairly smooth transition, but for us we already suffered and bled going from VC6 to 2003.NET
This is great advice, This is what I did My last year of college when I commuted and had a laptop. If you are living on campus, with roomates, never leave your laptop in the room when you arent in it, as other posters have said Lock your door, painfully if necessary impress upon your roomates the importance of locking your door, and if you could get away with not bringing your laptop, use a desktop. As for notes on the laptop, if your taking math or electronics/electric theory paper and pencil are your best note taking options!
I wasnt implying one side or the other are the cheaters I am just saying that there are those on extremes of all sides that believe so much that their side is right that they will use any means necessary to try to help their side win, whether its legal or not.
Bottom line in my opinion is that if there isnt a verifiable paper trail...its not a valid way to vote
using the rack enclosures used by rock bands for their pre-amps and effects processors. They are a bit pricy, but usually are air-frieght certified which will help when you move. We built a 2 pc system for a customer in one of these and they love it!.
is not at the store Level. The real problem is with upper and middle management. Some CEO's son that just graduated from College with out ever having to have a real life job. Upper and Middle management and Sometimes even Store level Mangers get HUGE bonuses for keeping things like "Target instore inventory levels" and "Target Payroll/No Employee OT". And all these guys care about is there bonus, They dont care that they dont understand the core business of the company, that the things they require the people at the Store levels to do are unrealistic and just cant be done within the "Targets" that they project. So yes, they will Hire 10x 20 hour a week employees and work them 40 hours a week, Why ?? because they dont have to pay part time employees benifits and at 40 hours a week they arent hitting OT. I worked in retail for 8 years in positions ranging from stock boy all the way up through Asst. Manager, and then as IT Support for a chain Store. I have seen the front lines and been around the middle/upper management. If you really want to fix the issues, Take away the bonuses from upper/middle Mangement, and make their salaries dependant on their stores being profitable, Law abiding, and treating their employees correct. There is no corporate accountability in these retail stores, lets start making the suits responsible for their actions, and things will get better.
and for gosh sakes, if the CEO's son gets a middle/upper management position, he better damned well had to have spent a year working in a store as a stockboy/cashier/broom jockey before he gets to make decisions!
Its Probably already been said, but Run 3" Conduits to each room from the Basement or a central Closet. This Way You can run Cat5 now, and In the Future you can run Fiber/Cat6/Flavor of the day with a simple tug-of-a-string.
I can tell you from personal experiance Unless U are going to live somewhere that the lease prohibits pets, Its a battle you will not win. My Mother in law takes care of 3 Cats that my wife will bring to live with us as soon as we can afford a house and can move outta the apartment. No amount of pleading, threatening...etc is gonna stop it. **sigh** 3 cats **sigh**
Ah yes I Have one of those Pro-Printer XL-24E's Best damned printer I have ever had, I love the thing although it just collects dust nowadays.
We did use it to get back at this kid who would play doom with his surround sound system at 4am, we waited till he fell asleep for his afternoon nap put the proprinter in his roomates desk, and let loose the little program we had written that sent 80 character lines of 'E' s to the printer.....
Secondly, don't be the retard that has to type up something major late at night
As I worked 30 hours a week while attending college the only time I had to do my homework and typing was late at night after I got back from work
Some people have no choice!
However I realized that my Odd hours due to work would probably have driven any roomates mad! so for the few semesters i didnt commute and lived on campus I shelled out the extra for a single occupancy room.
Yeah, I had only read one of the articles at the time of posting, I was mainly just responding to the idea of why the DoD could potentially ever want its own network.
The DoD is also getting very deep into "Distributed Training" where a Squadron of pilots on a base in CA can network their flight simulators to a squadron on the east coast's simulators and train at flying and fighting together, so If I were the DoD I would want my own network, also if you are testing new battle field networking devices you might not want that traffic on the public backbone.
is a bit biased to MS-FS and other alternatives arent really Mentioned, Simulators do and will increasingly play a major role in training Pilots- Commercial, military or private
The main benefits arent so much handling the aircraft although a full motion sim is helpful for this as they are in learning the instrumentation of the aircraft and how to operate the aircraft...learning how to properly divide your attention amonst the myriad things going on in the cockpit.
I work in the military flight simulator field and it is a growing industry
maybee but Power plants still emit a higher percentage of greenhouse gasses than transportation in the US its pretty close 38% CO2 emmissions are from power plants and 33% are from transportation but the percentage gets farther apart as you factor in the world
I have the same question and no one seems to be able to answer it, all I ever get is a mumbled response about less greenhouse gasses, but like you point out there is a coal/oil burning generator somewhere recharging these cars pumping greenhouse gasses out. Personally I really like the hybrid approach, it seems like there is actually an energy savings as it uses much less fuel. Id like to get 50mpg in a hybrid as opposed to the 26mpg my POS Dodge Intrepid gets.
The article(what little of it I was able to download) says "FAT Client"(App on Client, Data only on server) client/server is dying said things like web interfaces (thin Client) are the new future.
imo this is only feeding the existing paranoia 'everybody is after us' that the people in the united states have been brainwasged with since 911
No I dont think thats the case here, I think he's saying that space is one of the greater military advantages that Countries like the US enjoys. And that in the Future the fight is going to be to control that advantage or to knock out your enemy's space assets, or even just use your enemy's space assets against them. I think the other concern is that since China is probably not going to work together with us on the space thing(their space program is run by their military) they may be concerned with China and other space newcomers finding out exactly what we have up there watching them and/or them stealing our technology!
as for a poster of Torvalds, I cant help you as I have an aversion to having posters of People on my walls, Landscapes/Paintings and cool Advertisment/Techie type stuff only please.
