I have had one since release USA and using it for dev just fine.

Frame rate for DX / C++ is not great but anything managed is more than fine.

I cannot use the Surface keyboard, but have it plugged in to a ergonomic KB
and second large DELL monitor.

It feels just like 2003 again, a slate with pen input. :-)

You probably want to add a utility routine to generically grab all the
object properties as List and then could pick which object to
interrogate as part of your exception handler.

Starting to enjoy linq but have dilemma..

 

I have 3 tables  tasks, tasktags, and tags

 

How can i create a linq query that returns all the tasks that have tag o f

Some tasks may have many tags, so only want to return unique tasks.

 

What methodology should i use to achieve this?

Hi, 

you can't use local functions in a database query,   

your query would look like this, Select IssueId, IssueTitle, EtaDate =
?? from vwIssues.

 

get all the data from the database with a .ToList();

 

then loop over the collection and call the method, you could even do this
with a parallel loop.

 

Parallel.ForEach( issues, x => x.EtaDate =
NodaTimeUtil.ConvertToMelbourneTimeZoneFromUtc(x.ETADate.Value));

Both sites are basic auth over https and both are ASP.net apps with very minor

Hi, 

 

Best guess it's Customer Id.  - 

Turn on the exception for NullReferenceException

 

Debug -> Exceptions -> Common Language -> System 

Then check, 

 

NullReferenceException

ArgumentNullException

NotImplementedException

 

That will help you correct any problems, however you really need to refactor
that and pass a single object with properties. It will save you a lot of
time.

I don't see the correlation between IE and Silverlight here - sure the
browser has some exploits that *POTENTIALLY* are available but to throw
Silverlight out is to throw Java, Flash, Quicktime etc also out. 

Focus on the role not the person is your first approach, if this person is
trying to build their Security Empire and using anti-Microsoft bias as a way
to fuel the flames, ask questions about the role, interrogate their actual
position boundaries to determine if its a person with accountability &
authority or just some loud mouth (like me) shooting shit from the
sidelines?

Next is risk assessment, ok so there's a flaw in the system. There are
1000's of flaws in every corporations systems (even Microsofts) now comes
back to Consequences vs Likelihood of that actually being a risk. It's all
well and good to argue "If 1x genius finds this flaw and triggers it, well
its Zombieland for mankind..." but what's the consequences really of that
activity from happening and lastly how likely is it from actually happening.
If you're tucked snugly inside a DMZ it comes back to now "What's the
likelihood of an employee exploiting this hole to add further pain to other
employees?" because once a corporations firewall gets penetrated... IE flaws
become 1 of 1000+ problems that company will face (not saying it should be
patched, just ...i dunno...reality check that shit).

It reminds me of the virus scanner debates where Security Essentials got a
low rating because it didn't track something like 100+ virus signatures...
and Microsoft Security came back and said something like "Yeah but nobody
has seen those virus's since the 90's and even today the likelihood of them
working is still low" ..basically they apparently (dont quote me on this)
outlined the risk matrix and told these other jackasses to calm down but in
their own polite manner.

I'm pretty confident Silverlight is secure to the point where during its
creation there was a lot of effort that went into making sure there was 0
security issues known, because ultimately during that period had one existed
we'd have been crucified and Adobe would have seized that as a moment to
choke us PR wise. I can't say for sure exactly how secure Silverlight is but
I do remember Program Managers saying with high confidence "I'd like to see
them try".. 

Just tell the dude "fine you win, we'll use Chrome. so back to
Silverlight..where's the data champ..." :) as personally I think IE should
have been taken out to the woodshed long ago...so idiots like these don't
get to use the branding cancer against its ACTUAL technical rehabilitation
...

I became suspicious when yesterday he said something like "because IE is

Windows more vulnerable". This seems preposterous to me, and it's vague, but
it pleases me to imagine that the User/Kernel mode boundaries between IE and

I don't see anything particularly scary in these. It looks like a
Silverlight app would have to be specifically crafted to be a threat (and
I'm not intending to do that!). The other stuff about IE is just the usual

That perfectly demonstrates how far backwards Windows Phone is compared to
Windows Mobile and the pain-in-the-ass mentality of Win8/WP8-era MS. You
still can't really export the messages. It's a black-box backup to Skydrive
and a restore from Skydrive, ie your messages are still locked in. Is it
really asking that much to be able to just export MY messages to something
like CSV or XML and let me email it, upload to Dropbox, copy to my desktop
etc? It's almost like DRM-by-stealth over your own content.

 

Even as early as Windows Mobile 2003 you could sync your SMS messages with

For a dev machine I think it's overkill. Using one of our main applications
at work as the test case to justify a move to SSDs, times for running the
unit tests (times averaged over 5 runs of each) were:

 

(mins:seconds)


 

1x magnetic drive with everything on one drive: 3:42 

1x SSD with everything on one drive: 0:54

1x magnetic drive (OS), 1x SSD (documents/project files/etc): 0:52

1x magnetic drive (OS), 1x SSD (documents/project files/etc) with temp
folders, paging file etc on SSD: 0:44

2x SSD (one for OS, one for documents/project files/etc): 0:33

2x SSD (RAID 0) with everything on one drive: 0:31

 

RAID 0 has its place when disk access is a major bottleneck (eg video
production, music studio workstations, high volume database server etc) but
for a software development it's pretty wasteful when you get near-enough
indistinguishable performance by having the two drives running separately,
plus double the storage space and only risking half as much data if one of
them fails.

PS: those numbers are from last-gen SSDs (read/write around 250/200Mbps) so
I would expect the performance of a single current-gen SSD (around 500/400)
to be even closer to the two drive configurations making a RAID 0 setup even
harder to justify.

One of the things I did on a similar problem (with an electricity supplier)
was to request that all communications were in writing so I had a record.

"Sorry Mr Harris, we can't do that"

So the classic, can I talk to your manager and up a few layers, but still
would not do it.

So I asked to speak to the CEO, same "Sorry Mr Harris, we can't do that"

So I looked up the email address of the CEO, not found, but I found about 25
other email addresses of others in the company and sent this email:

 

Dear Recipient,

 

As I have not been able to find Person's email address or a general
complaints email address on your public web site and the on-line web form
will not take this amount of text, I am forced into sending this email to
every email address I can find on your web site and guessing at a few
possible email addresses,.

 

Would you please forward this email to Person Chief Executive Officer.

 

Thank You.

 

Dear Person,

 

I am writing to you in frustration because I have not been able to resolve a
matter through your customer service channel and am asking for your
assistance to get this problem resolved.

 

Our situation is ...

 

Sent Sunday afternoon, response received that day, the quality of service
was still shit, but mildly better shit.

But at least I got all communications in writing from that point onwards.

And I learned that there is an Electricity Ombudsman as well, because the
department I was put through to was the one that deals with the Ombudsman.

 

I think that the situation with resellers is that they are pushing the
margins to the point that they can not afford to have a quality customer
service department / process in place any more.

So, we have to find ways to work around that.

 

Good Luck

There has been mutiple issues that went on ever since i signed up the

Since then, the complaint went 3 levels up and i was offered compensation
($149.70) which i accepted and tried to move on. Unfortunately, another
issue came up the same evening i accepted compensation. I called them up
again and returned the Credit they gave me and said i'm finally going to
TIO.

 

I asked them to send me all the call records and notes they had on my
account as i want to use them in my complaint to TIO. Then came another
twist, they are finally sending their techii (free of cost) to resolve
issues and replace faulty hardware. I guess this is their last chance to get
their service working.

 

In between using the word TIO for the first time and them agreed to send
their techii, they have already taken more than 3 weeks and few hours on the
phone (around 15 phone calls i guess).

 

At the end of they day, for iiNet it is a matter of treating their customer
with contempt and charging them as much as they can but for me it has become
a matter of principle.

 

In case anyone is interested, the actual fight is for $310 here. I'm not
paying even a single dollar unless told by TIO that it was my mistake to
sign up with iiNet.

Let's see what their techii comes up...

 

I'll keep eveyone posted on the progress...

 

Thanks for your comments

Subject: RE: NBN Petition

 

Oh, I wasn’t sure what the point of the iiNet invoice was.

 

I was more interested in what you were claiming about HFC/cable.

 

One issue I have with cable is that the most productive members of the
community using the Internet, the IT sector, have gradually, over the years,
relocated themselves into high speed internet areas. The only high speed
internet for the last 20 years has really been cable. So you’ve now got the
people who can be the most economically productive with the internet
constrained because their internet isn’t going to change. They can no longer
get access to 1Gbps connections. Let’s be frank – from the IT sector’s point
of view, it’s all about how fast we can transfer files around, whether they
are content files, web sites, applications, databases, virtual machines,
videos, or desktop or server backups, it doesn’t really matter. We just want
them sent, and sent fast, and currently the time taken to do this takes so
long that we end up copying large files to usb drives and delivering them
ourselves, if we can’t wait a week for them to transfer.

 

Another issue I have with cable is that the highest number of connections
off a single cable is 32. You share your internet with 32 other customers
and if they are large consumers of bandwidth, too bad for you – the capacity
is constrained for that 32, and if you don’t like it, nothing is going to
change it, you’re stuck with it. The alternative, fibre, doesn’t have this
issue, because fibre is aggregated at the ISP. If there is too much
contention, they can add another CVC pipe (and in Jon Dart’s email he says a
CVC pipe could service a lot more than 3000 people in a large ISP).

 

Another issue is that there is no upgrade path from cable to NBN. They spend
all their time and money upgrading from DocSis 3.0 to 3.1 and they’re not
going to want to come back. Anyone who is in the cable area is no longer
going to have a node box at the end of the street. So the promise made
before the election that you could pay $3000 to connect up to the full NBN
is now gone. People in the cable areas have no ability to access 1Gbps
internet and will not have for 20 years. I am 150 metres from the NBN and
will no longer be able to pay for a connection because I am in a cable area.
If the world moves to even faster internet, which is possible given the
10Gbps trials are still in progress in the UK, then we won’t be able to move
to the higher speed. The Liberal NBN is simple not (small “a”) agile. Which
for the money spent is a shocker.

 

So the bottom line is, that’s why HFC sucks.

Pretty sure I was critical of CVC charges, which inherently was a labor plan
to keep it off the budget - which doesn't automatically make me a liberal
shill, btw. 

 

By the way, I got an email from Jon Dart suggesting that CVC is still in.

 

Yeah figured from the strategic review. So disappoint.

 

The Libs talked about it greatly before the election and aligned themselves
with the industry consensus. Then it isn't mentioned in the review.  They
get a F- in my books as a result - then again I said the whole plan from
either party was shit from the get go. 

He also made the statement “it is assumed that instead of decommissioning
the HFC networks, Telstra and/or Optus would transfer ownership of the
network

OptiComm are the weak link in this FTTH .. Sit on Whirlpool long enough
you'll find that OptiComm are the bane of iiNet and Internodes existence.
Its because of these jackasses i actually had Simon Hackett on the phone
with me one day explaining how the whole pipeline is a risk due to companies
like this.. specifically how the SLA's work in favour of wholesalers and not
retailers, yet the retailers get the full wrath of the customer(s). 

If you call a retailer today for an issue that a wholesaler is at fault with
all they can do is log a ticket. The retailers also don't accept any
responsibility for wholesaler related issues. So there's really no forcing
function in place that expedites the issue and with FTTH it happens a lot
more than you realise.

 

I have a 100mbps FTTH connection but i'd be lucky to achieve actually 80% of
this on a good day and the fault has been traced backed to OptiComm. I've
even had Simon suggest i switch from Internode to iiNEt or other to prove
that its not a retailer issue,  I did and he was correct. I've had
OptiComm's GM phone/email/IM me direct telling me its a retailer issue and
that its not their fault.. and watched both sides argue with one another for
over a year.

http://www.theage.com.au/it-pro/one-gigabit-available-on-nbn-this-month-2013

In the article it states that the cost of a CVC connection is $20,000, but
that it is likely to be shared between 3000 connections. So the total cost,
if the ISP gets full take up, is $6.66 per connection. ($20,000 / 3000 =
$6.66)

 

So the full wholesale cost in this scenario would be $150 + $6.66 = $156.66.
This makes the $200 for 1GB possible, however it will probably be somewhere
between $200 per month and $300 per month.

 

It is also likely that the ISPs will not have to pay CVC until a higher
number of connections is achieved during the setup period.

 

So $20,000 or $6.66. You just have to decide which one is more plausible.

 

I guess we'll see when the ISPs start offering 1GBps connections, which
could be quite soon.

Are you talking about this:
http://www.nbnco.com.au/content/dam/nbnco/documents/nbn-co-corporate-plan-6-
aug-2012.pdf  

 

?

 

Page 67 says nothing of the sort. I *think* what they're saying is that they
are factoring in the 'no charge until 30001st premise in an area gets
installed' as a form of discount, which is pretty rubbery accounting. 

 

To put page 67 in laymans terms, the first 150mbps of capacity in the
service area (keeping in mind that might be 70,000+ premises) is free. 

 

I believe I read in the draft NBN document that they were intending the
wholesale price to be $150 per month for a 1Gbps FTTH connection in
Australia. So the least deceptive answer is that you could have a 1Gbps
connection for $150 per month plus the cost of the ISP service.

 

Nope. $150 of AVC + the ISP Service + CVC. 

 

Even if the price of CVC dropped to $8/mbps/month, then that would still be
800% higher than the forecasted cost of getting data from Europe to
Australia next year. i.e. 1mbps CIR from overseas to Brisbane = $1, getting
it across Brisbane, $8. FAIL.

 

They didn't broadcast the fact because they assumed that everyone would
expect the same behaviour that they are getting from just about every single
internet connection in the country at the moment, and that is, you are

Configuration Tool

[anthonyatsmallbiz]

No sure, if it a common task but  is there any open source code or tools to
be able to create a configuration file.  I have my own library to read/write
a applicayion configuration file but would love to have an interface where I
could change its settings.   

 

I know MS Enterprise Library has a configuration tool for its settings,
would like a generic tool that I could build into my software.

 

mmm..maybe I will have to create one..but how do other manage application
settings?

All managed code obfuscation can be broken, usually fairly easily. Mixed

reverse engineer even un-managed code is no big deal. The cost of protection
should be in line with the value of the IP you're trying to protect.

I hope not, as we have an important web service feeding apps in WinForms,
Silverlight and ASP.NET. Because it has to be "open", almost everything
going in and out is an xml fragment that is optionally compressed as base64
strings.

 

We are even considering an Android app client written in Java, assuming of
course that it can consume a WCF basicHttp server and decompress the base64.
I know Java can work with plain old SOAP services okay, but I haven't
investigated if someone has bridged the slightly wider gap to WCF. Does
anyone know for sure?

 

Maybe there is a more modern "open" way of doing what I've described.
Anyone?

Beware that System.IO.Compression before 4.5 can only deflate/inflate
streams, and although the two provided algorithms are standards, I never
dared use them outside of the boundary of a single app. From 4.5 you get ZIP
support.

 

I am currently using free SharpZipLib on the server side on combination with
costly ComponentOne C1Zip class on the Silverlight client side. I have found
that server to client works correctly, but in the other direction I have
received decompress errors which hints at subtle and treacherous
incompatibilities.

 

I spent hours trying to get SharpZipLib to compile for Silverlight but gave
up in tears and had to use C1Zip.

 

To confuse matters there is also Ionic.Zlib which I found years after
SharpZipLib and I actually prefer it these days because of a clearer API
with some nice convenient high-level methods. I also managed to compile Zlib
for Silverlight quite easily and I'm using it both sides of another
Server-Silverlight app pair. Of course I feel much safer using the same
library on both sides and wouldn't expect incompatibilities like previously
mentioned.

In truth the world gives way to much credit for Steve Jobs. I mean he

Microsoft gets around 6% of its business from consumer solutions (XBOX,
Surface, Phone, EDD crap etc) so they are basically taking their bets and
putting them down on the 6% to grow it further as they assert the enterprise
(55%) and online services (20%) are in reasonable enough health to buy them
some cover fire. In reality though its exposed the company's enterprise
story a lot more given most people will start to explore the consumer space
more but less with Microsoft in mind given they have broken a lot of faith /

more solutions are popping up each year by Apple, Google, Sony, Oracle,

The issue I have with that position is that the Surface Pro isn’t limited to 
the Windows Store, and since there are plenty of non-store apps (e.g. Office) 
that can be run on a Surface Pro, the proposition is more than just Windows 
Store.

 

Surface RT, on the other hand…

I reckon Microsoft would be happy if they could get 50 good applications too.

 

Even then, it’s not enough to have “good” apps. They need exclusive apps… and 
really, if you have an idea even remotely worth doing something with, why in 
your right mind would you choose Windows Store of all places to make it 
exclusive to?

 

… which ultimately means apps aren’t enough. The platform is a failure. With 
the Surface they chose to consolidate Windows (desktop) and Windows Mobile 
while ignoring virtually all of the key strengths of the products they were 
bastardising (especially with RT). They’ve limited their niche to the kind of 
people who want to do more than they can with the currently popular idea of a 
‘tablet’ but don’t want the power and versatility of a full-blown laptop. 

 

Had they gone down the road of Windows Mobile 7 with an optional but default 
app store instead of the almost complete re-imagining which was Windows Phone 7 
(and 7.5, 8 etc) I imagine they would have built on the slice of the enterprise 
market they had with prior Windows Mobile instead of almost completely 
alienating the enterprise, continued to appeal to the hobbyist and amateur 
developer market (increasingly so with XNA – which they’ve also canned, another 
brainfart) and provided a convenient medium for accessing content for the 
average consumer. The pre-requisite of Zune to do anything useful reeks of all

nothing in the store worth pirating anyway. Because no-one wants to use it,

Your inner loop variable arr2 is going to get GC because it falls out of scope 
every time it loops.  The vars declared outside are not.  I was wondering if 
you were doing that deliberately, instead of making it a fixed size outside the

Memory isn’t unlimited. Basically, when you convert from a byte array -> 
string, you have two copies of the same data (one for the byte array and one 
for the string) in memory.

 

What exactly are you doing? You are typically better off chunking and reading 
smaller amounts of data at a time. Use something like a StreamWriter over a

I am surprised this solves your memory problem, as although the UTF8
GetString(Byte[]) defers to Encoding's base method, that returns the result
of GetString(Byte[], int, int) which is overridden by UTF8, which calls
String.CreateStringFromEncoding.

This uses String.FastAllocateString to create the string of size based upon
UTF8's override of GetCharCount, which I haven't reviewed closely, but it
doesn't look like it's an estimate :-)

The String's internal Char[] is manipulated directly by UTF8's internal
GetChars, so unless GetCharCount does get it vastly wrong, I don't see how
your "fix", which starts with a 16 byte StringBuilder buffer that will be
increased by the 10 chars each time you Append, with the existing
content copied across each time.

In summary, in your last loop iteration there will need to be almost twice
your whole string required in memory for a short time as the last chunk is
Appended.

Whereas as far as I see in the (Reflected) code, the simple GetString should
just hold the whole String once and work within it.

So if your fix really is a fix, I suggest there's a bug in UTF8's
GetCharCount (or I'm wrong and it /is/ just estimating how many Chars are
needed).

Code commenting

[anthonyatsmallbiz]

Anyone suggest a method to autmaticlly comment code when lines have changed?
Would be great to be able to see who changed what when viewing the code.

 

At the moment,, we write comments like //xxMOD 12AUG13   XX=PROGRAMMER
INITIALS

 

WE use TFS but we like to write comments in code sometimes.  Any extensions
able to do this?

Yes it is..use firebug or jsfiddler to get a standard template(with headers) 
you could use.

Actually if I could turn it into a http request with a query string that would 
make the web code simple. Is it just a matter of having http headers?

 

The modem data does attached to a web site. Hosting terms seem to allow a

Not possible on a shared web hosting service as I doubt they'll permit you to 
run any sort of service and may be locked down a lot further depending on how 
switched on the provider is. 

 

VPS will do it no dramas. You'll need to write some sort of service to bind to 
an external IP and port. Piece of piss and heaps of code around to start from.

Hi All,

 

I want to receive raw TCP messages from an industrial device (that has an

The modem requires an IP address and port number to send the messages to.

 

I have received TCP messages before on a PC connected to the internet using 
TcpListener(My Static IP, port number)  by opening that port number on the 
router but can it be done with a hosting service (pref shared hosting) instead?

 

I imagine an IP would be necessary to attach to the hosting address but would 
this work given the Listener must address a port number?

 

If not on shared hosting would a VPS do this?  (Haven’t used one before.)

 

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

What I don’t understand is that if you’re in a built up area, why they don’t 
just install Fibre to the Home.

 

Copper might do for the short term, but it is expensive to maintain and has all 
sorts of issues like crosstalk/interference, susceptibility to water etc. Fibre 
does not have those issues and fibre can last 60 years. Fibre can also give a 
consistent speed up to 50 kilometres from the node as opposed to copper that 
degrades significantly after 2 or 3 kilometres. Copper will also max out 
probably around the 200Mbps – 300Mbps mark from a theoretical maximum around 
1Gbps. Other countries are talking about 10Gbps and they have achieved Petabyte 
transmission speeds in the labs.

 

As David rightly pointed out, if you want to go to even higher speeds, they 
will need to replace the fibre with even faster fibre and change the technology 
at the end points, but once it is done properly once, those changes won’t be as 
difficult to achieve.

The fibre part of this whole argument is, strictly speaking, secondary.  Making 
internet access available to all for a reasonable cost is more important.  On 
that note, charging $5000 to get that access isn't really the same thing.  For 
many, you may as well say they can't have it.

I was living in Riverstone for a while when it was scheduled to be one of the 
first suburbs in NSW to see the practical benefits of the NBN roll-out after 
the local ALP puppet Michelle Rowland used the NBN as a key differentiator in 
her campaign.  That was 2007.

 

Luckily my TPG ASDL2 connection was serviceable enough (~8-10Mbps download is 
more than enough to be productive) so I wasn’t left hanging anyway, but last 
time I checked what was happening out there they were launching a “Riverstone 
digital hub” at the end of 2012 in Riverstone Library, ie one single site with 
anything remotely approaching the promises of the NBN.

 

That’s all they’ve produced. Not a single site, commercial or residential, 
hooked up. 6 years for a  supposed pioneer site to produce effectively zip. I 
can’t pretend to understand a fraction of the technical or financial complexity 
of an infrastructure rollout on anywhere near that scale, but I can see when 
we’re clearly being taken for a ride.

Apart from the use of "impacted", a nice article.

 

For some reason, this whole argument reminds me of the republic referendum some 
years back.  I knew a number of people who didn't like the idea of a politician 
appointed president and thought voting "No" meant "the people" would vote for 
the president.

 

The fact is, the vast majority of people who vote on such things do so without 
all the facts.  Certainly not enough to be responsible for making a decision.

 

People on this list will tend to be looking at it from a technical point of 
view.  I doubt any of this has any meaning to the population in general.

 

If the NBN was available in my area, I'd get it.  For cable, my only option now 
is Optus which is what I have.  Telstra told me I could get ADSL with a 
fraction of the data and for a lot more money.  If only I had a choice...
