I sat in on a webinar for G.Fast from one of the big hardware providers a month or so ago. They're saying they think this is basically for MDUs (aka, apartments) and European cities where repaving (especially cobblestones) after plowing fiber to each location would cost a fortune. The idea is...

Well that article was massively misleading. Just because you have a fiber network that connects schools and government buildings, that's a far cry from having fiber to every residence. That's like saying every highway should be an interstate just because you have a couple interstate highways...

As one who has had to deal with billing this stuff, it's a royal pain in the &#*$. I would believe any error would err on the side of underbilling you.

Sales only dropped 3.2%, it was profit that dropped 17%.

Seriously, who's going to run 4 drives in RAID 0? Unless, of course, you like a really low MTBF. I don't know how SSD drives compare with rotating rust on reliability, but I'd never chance it on hard disks. I'd also question calling the Highpoint 4xxx series entry level raid cards. Maybe...

I think you're going to be stuck throwing a cursor at the problem. Lookup cursors, and the solution should become appearent.

If you really want to loop over a result set in SQL, you would use a cursor. I'm only familiar with TSQL (Microsoft SQL Server), but any decent SQL server should have something similar. That said, if you find yourselft using a cursor, you're usually doing something wrong. You can usually do...

ACL's are generally setup for Users not Computers. To do what you want to do, you'd probably have to setup firewall rules to block the necessary ports from all but the one pc. A better question is why the heck would you want to do this?

My first thought was Autodesk's AutoCAD, which someone mentioned above. One of the products I work on is an extension of AutoCAD, and while it does have a LISP scripting interface, quite often it's a whole lot easier to do things using the native C++ API (or its .NET wrapper). The AutoLISP...

Your last few lines can be simplified to this: x = "a" x = "b" x = "c" x = "d" x = "e" Perhaps that's enought of a hint...

We upgraded to 2008 almost as soon as it was released, and I can't say it was worth it (although with MSDN it didn't cost us anything). Basically, 2008 gets you LINQ and a few other things. If I was starting a new project, I'd definately be looking at LINQ, but we solved most of the problems...

Bought this chain for my chainsaw, unfortunately, it didn't fit. It's an Oregon S60 chain (60 links) that supposedly fits 18" Mcculloch and Troy-bilt chain saws (except for my specific model). Never been used since it doesn't fit. I'm moving, so $5 gets it shipped to you via USPS in a bubble...

In flow by definition equals out flow. If you suck air out of your case, it has to be replaced or it will create a vaccuum (leaving no more air to suck out) or vice versa, you will create a massive pressure buildup in your case. Neither will happen with pc case fans. Balancing your in/out...

If I had a couple years to spare to port the enough of the app to native C/C++ to do a head-to-head, I could do that. Heck, I might even keep the C/C++ version. Or I could spend a week and try to batch some sql queries together to save on network round trips, NGEN the assemblies to eliminate...

As a C#/.NET developer, in the 3-4 years I've been using it, I have only twice had language/runtime related performance problems, and even then, I'm not sure C++ would have been any better. One is a WinForm that takes forever (2-4 seconds) to load the first time (JITing a lot of code and...

The Intel PRO/1000 series is generally considered to be a very good network card (I have 2). Unfortunately, it retails for around $30 (not including shipping). However, I still mention it because you can usually pick one up on ebay for around $20 if you're willing to go that route.

That field is loaded from the exe that the service points to. It's part of a file's versioninfo resource. If you bring up the files properties and look at the version tab, it's the company field. You can set it from c# by decorating your assembly with a AssemblyCompany attribute (typically...

You probably won't find a book/article for that will have what you want. Most of it is stuff you just know, sort of a learn by doing kind of thing.

When you specify BindingFlags, you need to specify the default BindingFlags as well. Something like this would be what you'd need oType.GetProperty(columnName, BindingFlags.IgnoreCase | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.GetProperty); Note, that's c# syntax above...

You could use reflection from VB.NET to load the assembly into your process space directly from memory (Assembly.Load has an overload that takes a byte[]). You wouldn't have a seperate process, but if that's okay, you could get it to work. Your encrypted/zipped application would end being a...

I'd stay away from SIP for the next couple of years and let someone else be on the bleeding edge. I've heard of quite a bit of bugginess regarding various equipment & SIP.

What size/style floor joists would you be drilling through and how many cat5e cables would you need to pull in?

Typical uses of Dual LAN would be A) Servers that need the extra network bandwidth. B) Router/NAT machine. One port goes to the public network, one to the private. C) Network Bridge. One port could be used to connect additional devices to the network without putting another switch...

Depends on what sector? Servers, home desktops, or corporate/gov desktops?

Any reason you're not using the NT threadpool?

I'd skip watercooling the hard disk, decent airflow through your case should cool it just fine. If you want to quiet the drive, just make sure it's soft mounted, or better yet, suspend it from elastic.

The restriction through your wall opening will probably negate the higher CFM rating of any fan larger than the opening.

While I don't know the specifics, the easiest ways to do this would involve either linking to one of the LAME dll's, or using DirectSound filters. If you choose the latter, it's relatively simple to switch codecs to something else that supports directsound if you want to.

bump.

Having just bought this game yesterday, I am so disappointed I am getting rid of it right away. This is a very poor port of a console game to PC. It's port quality is similar to shipping Nesticle & Super Mario Bros and calling it a PC game. I'm going to wait and buy the 360 version. Among...

keep in mind that SQL Server Express can only use one of those processors per instance.

why limit yourself to powers of 2? It's quite possible to handle any sized (well, within reason) bracket for both single and double elimination.

Blaster would have that signature on some machines when it hit, but with SP2, it isn't that. On an unrelated note, when Blaster hit many moons ago, one of my bosses at the time disabled his RPC service on his machine, because Blaster would cause it to crash before he could install the patch...

My computer at work has been running xp pro for 2+ years now (I did hose the registry for a while and had to delete my user profile). My personal pc's don't stay in the same hardware configuration that long.

I've cracked the housing where the top fitting screws into every via aqua pump I've had (a 1300 and a 2600(?)). I'm not sure if this is where your's broke, but a little plastic epoxy fixed them both right up.

There was an article in MSDN magazine some time ago that did something very similar to what your talking about. part1 http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/07/SecurityBriefs/ part2 http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/10/SecurityBriefs/

Gotta call BS on this one. In standard single-phase 110 AC power, you have one hot @ 110v, one neutral that is really earth-grounded, and one ground (which is really just there to ground the frame). Grab a multimeter and test it it you don't believe me. Now, if memory serves me correctly...

I find myself wishing C# had friend classes all the time. Just remember, only your friends can see your privates.

Is the SQL server on a public IP?

while you might be able to hack together something that would work for this trivial case, getting something that would generally work is a whole different matter.
