Signing off
Profox: Hello. Just over 5 years ago, I subscribed to this list. It helped see me through the dark days of working with VFP at my day job and mastering it as best as a person can master as buggy/incomplete a development environment/runtime as VFP. Now the time has come, and my boss has finally seen the light that VFP isn't forever, and we're making conversions to .NET. First our web product, but more to follow. I'm glad to see this for the company and my career as well. I'm amazed at how well .NET is just working-- I don't spend more than half my day trying to work around stupid limitations and bugs(C0.05's, graphics glitches, etc.) as I've often done with VFP. Anyways, seeing as how this list is just VFP and Daboo/open source propoganda, I think it's time for me to go. Thank you, and if anyone wishes to contact me off list, you can do so at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks. -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: [OT] Thoughts on child support
Problem is--from what I can tell, unless she's a crack-whore or terrible parent of some sort, the courts won't award me custody. ??? Welcome to America-- where the guy almost always gets screwed in divorce. Try searching google for Father's Rights for some more information and maybe even some help. There's a good chance your lawyer isn't as well versed in this as he could be, so you should get informed as much as possible. Being stuck with the kids is a very offensive thing to say, IMO-- it automatically assumes because you're divorcing their mother, that you're divorcing the kids. Many fathers(most?) still love their kids dearly and would do anything they could to make things better for them(definitely, there are exceptions). The courts don't realize this. They prefer to vilify the man in every divorce-- he must have done something wrong, after all... -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: VSS
Does anyone know of a tool that will allow me to get a summary of changes by date between versions of a piece of source code checked into VSS? In VSS, go to the source file, go to 'history', optionally entering dates, and then click 'report. There's a checkbox that says 'include differences'. This shows the changes made to the file with each check-in. Is this what you're looking for? If you're looking for this with a binary file(i.e. vcx/scx), I think you're pretty much out of luck-- you'd need something to use the VSS automation layer to get the history records and run scctext on them and then diff them, etc... -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: SET ORDER plus SEEK vs. SEEK(a,b,c)
IAC, I thought I had heard that doing a SET ORDER TO on a network table was slow or caused a performance hit, especially since all we want to do is use the index to check for the existence of a condition that could nowadays be done with the SEEK(a,b,c) function. While refactoring, should this be done (...replacing the old SET ORDER plus SEEK command with the SEEK function instead)? You should know the answer by now: test both versions under actual network conditions. There is a good chance that the current code is not noticeably slower than the proposed new code; if so, you've just saved a bunch of rewriting. Generally, with many files(some big, some small), I've noticed considerable 'scan' speed increases by removing any orders set on the cursor with 'set order to'. I personally doubt there would be a significant speed difference between SEEK() and SET ORDER TO...SEEK itself, but if the ORDER is left set on the file and subsequent record pointer changes are done, it could slow things down-- but be very careful about removing the SET ORDER TO's, as that order could be critical to the logic of the code itself... -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: More web service misery
It is to run on a windows 2003 server. It seems that Microsoft in their wisdom are trying like mad to force us to use .net, and they have removed the Soap ability, at least as standard, from that server. I have googled and it says in one place to add .wsdl to the mapping and point it to the mssoapis30.dll. Ive tried that and you can no longer even see the wsdl file MSSOAP was never included in a Windows server product, I don't believe-- it's always something you have to install on W2K, XP, and 2003. It is installed by your development environment(VFP), however... Anyways, put that mapping back in(you need it). Also, in IIS, set 'allow unknown isapi extensions' to 'allow'. This will allow it to work. Without it, IIS6 returns INCORRECT 404's with absolutely NO CLUE ANYWHERE what is happening(not the event log, the W3SVC log, or to the end user!)-- it should be returning 500's and not 404's... Anyways, this is likely your problem. I'm well-versed on the tribulations of VFP web services, so if you have any other questions, please ask-- I've been on vacation, hence the long time to reply.

Re: finding memory leaks in VFP app
Any advice on how to go about finding this leak? In the public method of this component you could compare the number of memory handles - SYS(1011) - at the beginning and the end of each method call. Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the OO-aspect of the code made this a little difficult to be useful. It showed bloat over the lifetime of the whole object, yes, but that didn't help track it down. The problem, as I suspected, ended up being a binding reference/deadly embrace situation. There was one object that was typically a property of one object, and it got destroyed properly on destruction of the entire heirarchy. I hadn't realized that there was two spots, however, that used the object inline/on the stack as a local object, and the Release() method was never called to clean it up properly... Adding the release() for these local objects fixed the leak. In retrospect, thinking about the best way to find this kind of problem, it seems some sort of 'object registry' where in the init of each class, some code executes to 'register' it in a table/data structure of some sorts(class, unique ID, and the call stack), and in the destroy it marks it as 'destroyed'. When done running, any objects that weren't destroyed properly will have entries without the 'destroyed' flag set... If I have this sort of problem again, I'll build a quick debugging class to handle this for me. -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

No, you can't access network resources from inside a service, unless the service is running as a network/domain user. This is a security measure. Also, network 'drives' are only mappings in your current user session, and services(IIS) run in their own session, so your drives simply don't exist...

Re: finding memory leaks in VFP app
In retrospect, thinking about the best way to find this kind of problem, it seems some sort of 'object registry' where in the init of each class, some code executes to 'register' it in a table/data structure of some sorts(class, unique ID, and the call stack), and in the destroy it marks it as 'destroyed'.

Re: [NF] Windows Genuine Advantage suffers worldwide outage, problems galore

finding memory leaks in VFP app
Hi. The current 7.x release of our software has a memory leak in a
server-side processing component. The '6.2' release didn't have this
leak. I'm trying to 'diff' the key parts of code that this can be, but
I'm not having luck finding the memory leak so far... This leak is
severe, as it can bloat memory on servers to hundreds of MB per
process fairly quickly, and each server can have dozens of these
processes(VFP multi-process multithreading and all...). It's currently
only running on our staging server.
I created a client-app that I can use to hit the server side quickly
to show the bloat very clearly. I've put some trace statements in the
destruction of key objects, and they all seem to be destroying
properly, but there's still a significant leak... I was thinking it
was a dual-binding reference('deadly embrace')...
Any advice on how to go about finding this leak?
Thanks.
--
Derek

Re: [NF] Stupid networking question - actually, stupid hardware question
You won't see any appreciable difference under normal use of two cascaded switches as opposed to one big switch. With switches, particularly with only 2, you won't see a difference. WIth hubs, you should only string 2 or 3 along(they should be tree-topology if you need more), I believe it is(or so says Ethernet spec). Whil, many of the newer switches have ports that automatically detect, or they have uplink ports. Just plug the uplink of one to a regular port of the other-- you'll get lights on both to indicate it's working. If there's no uplink port, try port to port-- if you get a light, you're good. If you don't, get a crossover cable(or make one, just remember-- all 8 conductors for gigabit) and use that, which will definitely work... -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: Internet Update
For VFP it's soap based so you are going to receive xml. Just parse it and be done with it. I'm not suggesting your delivery of updates this way! Just the check if you need it. VFP abstracts it so you don't see the XML. Personally, my webservices all have just 2 parameters in VFP-- inputXML and outputXML. I can then define in my own code what should be there and handle good defaults if it's not(i.e. mis-matched client/server versions-- very common when you distribute software). As for updates, I use the soap/XML converations for control, and have a seperate 'pickup' directory for temporary compressed files for reading/writing(http PUT commands to let the client upload). This works very well, and we have many thousands of these conversations take place every day world-wide now. -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: VFP Error Msg - Variable already exists?
My God object merely serves to hold the metadata pathing (like database path, reports path, etc.) as well as some generic routines (like FirstDayOfWeek, etc.). Things of a specific nature I do break up into smaller objects and only instantiate as needed. Now all your smaller objects assume that god object to exist and have FirstDayOfWeek, database path, etc. on it. Personally, my preferred method is to have a single global singleton 'factory' object with a simple defined 'create' or 'get' method that you pass in an object name. Then, anywhere in my code, I can request a 'settings' object, and if it doesn't exist it's created, and if it does exist, it's returned. This settings object holds my database path, etc. My actual code logic never assumes a global object beyond the goSCF(global singleton class factory). As for methods like FirstDayOfWeek, I think it's wasteful to put any function on an object when it's not operating in an OOP way. It is simply a function that goes in a function library. In other languages such as .NET, these are implemented as static methods, which makes sense as well for logical segregation. -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: [NF] Shopping for a new monitor
It's now time to hand these monitors down to other folks and set myself up with some new toys. I was just going to get new versions of these guys, but then it struck me, hey, why not get greedy? What about 21 monitors? Or even bigger? They're so inexpensive now... But as I scan newegg, the rage seems to be widescreen monitors. Here are a couple of examples: ViewSonic 28 3ms(GTG) HDMI W/ HDCP Widescreen LCD Monitor 1920 x 1200, 800:1, D-Sub HDMI ViewSonic 24 8ms(GTG) HDMI W/ HDCP Widescreen LCD Monitor 1920 x 1200, 1000:1, D-Sub DVI HDMI ViewSonic 19 2ms Widescreen, 1440x900, 700:1 (typ), 2000:1 (DCR), D-Sub DVI Questions: I don't seen any point to Widescreen. I'm not much of a 'watch movies on my comptuer' kind of guy. Anybody have another reason why a widescreen would be a good choice? Go wide-screen. Two of them. I didn't think wide-screen was a big deal, but that's what was out there. Now that I have wide screens(dual 22, I believe), I wouldn't ever want to go back. As a programmer, it gives you your screen back-- your property sheet/toolbox sits on the extended portion of the screen, leaving the rest at a regular aspect ratio for you to work in. Keep your 19 around too, and setup 4 monitors-- I have the dual 22 screens and dual 17 above them, and you'd be surprised how much I use all 4 monitors when working(less while playing, but multiple browsers viewed at once, along with Email is still a very good thing). D-Sub DVI vs D-Sub DVI HDMI? Again, do I care? Dammit, Jim, I'm a programmer, not an artist. Get a DVI input, yes. Get a video card with DUAL DVI output, and hook them up digital-- the images are awesome this way. Many video cards are DVI/VGA, but in a dual monitor setup the slight differences caused by digital vs. analog drive me nuts when placed side by side. You can get a quality PCI dual VGA output card for about $50 or less for your remaining 19 LCDs... -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: [NF] Farewell, sweet laptop, time for a new connection...
6. If I Select Connect as a different user and enter credentials on
the standalone server ('whil_is_an_admin', 'adminpw'), I get a whole
slew of fairly confusing messages (The network folder specified is
currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect
using a different user name and pw, first disconnect any existing
mappings to this network share.) and the errors cascade from there.
I'm not sure what the 'currently mapped using different username...' is
- how would I find out? How would I get rid of it? And so on?
Suggestions?
Go to the command prompt and type:
net use
You'll see entries. Do a net use
\\standalonereallyoldserver\sharename /d for each share on that
server to disconnect. Then, go to start-run and type in
\\standalonearchaicserver\sharename directly instead of mapping a
drive, and enter the credentials when prompted.

Re: Write ahead cache problems
How can the server resolve if it should be answering the request from cache or disk unless the requests contain some info which enables the server to distinguish those requests which can be serviced from cache from those which must be serviced from disk ? It is the responsibility of the disk driver to know how to service the request-- from cache or disk. There are win32 function calls that applications can call to tell the OS to tell the driver to force the write to the disk itself versus cache. This obviously can have a severe impact on write performance, however. -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

I understand the police figure out which houses are growops by reports of sudden large sustained increases in electricity usage from the electric companies.

Re: [NF] New processors present problems, payoff
Why would the electric company report this? Other people in the neighborhood often suffer brownouts. Electric company distribution circuits become overloaded. You'd need a considerable amount of grow lights to have that effect. That would be a major operation. Grow houses sometimes bypass the meters and steal services, also creating a fire danger by overloading circuits. Yes, stealing services is something different entirely. Police can often detect houses by a thermal scan from the street. You don't need a search warrent to measure the infrared being broadcast. I guess that would be the decision of the courts system, possibly.

Re: [NF] New processors present problems, payoff
I used to work on a DARPA program dedicated to lowering power requirements for computers. It's amazing all the approaches that were taken. Cool. I've been watching some of the videos for the OLPC project where they are creating a 1 Watt computer system. The CPU goes into shutdown and recovers in hundredths of milliseconds. They've combed through the kernel code for loop until something happens code and replaced it with sleeping code triggered by the event submission. Best of all, all the changes are filtered back into the mainline kernel code where they not only keep power requirements down on laptops, but servers and big iron, too. The power savings are amazing. Too bad many people are still using incadescent light bulbs... And leaving the lights on when they're not in the room, etc...

The guy may not have thought it through exactly like this, but land is often a vast repository of wealth and is usually taxed at very favorable rates as compared to say, income from wages. If you want to help the poor workers, a land tax is a possible source of funds to do it. The problem I see, is that the majority of the land is not owned by the rich in this country, and therefore it would be another tax on the middle class, versus the rich(who are getting richer on the poor/middle classes losing their jobs)... -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: [OT] Invest in American Labor?
Better to let the free market rule. Workers will shift and recruitment will fall, younger workers will drift away to other occupations. This is the efficient, market-driven, allocation of resources at work. This is what made the USA the richest country on the face of the Earth. Graham. You're talking about it like this has been done before-- this isn't one country where people are on a relatively equal playing field to start with-- this is GLOBALIZATION-- where very poor countries can work for far less money than those in rich countries to buy necessities to survive-- all with different laws(labor, environmental, etc.). Globalization makes richer countries poorer while making poorer countries richer. Personally, being in a richer country, I do not like the idea of globalization. If I was in a poor country, obviously, I'd be on the opposite side. What makes certain a certain class of people in the US like globalization, is their own personal greed-- they're already rich and 'investor class' and can simply invest less money in poor countries. At the same time, those in richer countries no longer have those jobs(or many others as so many are being taken away), which means they fall down in class/economic scale. Eventually, all we have left are the richer rich folk in the rich country and the poor country has benefited by being lifted a little. It's so simple-- I can't understand how people can't see this... The people screaming for pure capitalism on a global scale sound to me like people saying to trust in some magic. Sure, capitalism is great, but as with all things, capitalism should be controlled so it doesn't get out of hand.

now the embryo has all the human chromosomes. What does that make it, a fish? It makes it a fertilized egg. Nothing more. I see you don't think much of fertilized eggs. OK, it is a fertilized HUMAN egg. I think human is significant, even if no one else does. Yes, it is a fertilized human egg. Is it a person? Does it have a soul? Does it think? The first 2 are mostly spiritual questions that only you can answer for yourself, but the last can be scientifically answered-- and the answer is **no**.

Very deep for a Monday! :-) If a person's brain were entirely supported by machines, yet the brain continued to function with clear cerebral activity(particularly if we had a way to communicate with them), I'd consider them still alive/human-- as 'meaningless' as it might be... -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: [OT] Plan B; Kill 2 million babies A YEAR, in complete privacy
I've considerd myself 'pro life' most of my life-- but when I sit down and think about it independent of all the religious debates on either side of the issue, the cerebral activity thing makes the most sense to me. The fact that you consider that there is something to ponder also makes you pro-choice. You may come to one conclusion, while others may come to different conclusions. So who makes the final decision: you, some politician, or the person whose body is directly affected? There's two decisions to be made. 1. Is abortion wrong/murder? 2. What(if anything) should government do about it? I answered #1 above(in a complex manner). As for #2, I can't say I'm 100% decided. I don't believe government should ban abortion before cerebral activity, as I don't personally believe it's wrong/murder. Afterwards, I'm still on the fence. I believe there are laws against 'late term' abortions on the books if I'm not mistaken, meaning I'm not the only person thinking this way When asked if I'm pro-life or pro-choice, I'm 'other'-- or I explain it if possible. -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: [OT] Plan B; Kill 2 million babies A YEAR, in complete privacy
When asked if I'm pro-life or pro-choice, I'm 'other'-- or I explain it if possible. Despite the efforts of the anti-choice forces to confuse the language, keep in mind that pro-choice and pro-life are not mutually exclusive. I know lots of people who personally couldn't decide to have an abortion, but who don't believe it is the government's place to threaten those who come to different conclusions with prison and/or execution. Semantics/correctness aside, I don't wish the people I tell to lump me in with the hard-core 'pro choice'-ers, either. Instead of taking a side which is likely opposite of those I'm talking to, I'd prefer to explain in the detail I did above how I came to my more complex conclusion as to why I'm not 100% pro-life. I'm finding more and more my positions are becoming these complex answers versus an easy black/white answer. -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: [OT] Plan B; Kill 2 million babies A YEAR, in complete privacy
I'm finding more and more my positions are becoming these complex answers versus an easy black/white answer. So are you becoming more or less comfortable with the notion of imposing those positions on others? I'm very much against the legislation of morality. Legislation of 'morality', however, must be done at some point to prevent theft, murder, etc. The distinction I make, is when a person's right infringes on another person's right without a choice on their part-- that crosses the line. With abortion, the right of the baby(whenever it is determined that an actual full human life is involved) is infringed upon by the act of abortion. The 'line' when it was determined human life was defined as conception pre-Roe vs. Wade, and now I believe it's defined as birth. I'd personally prefer to see it in the middle somewhere, but that's far more complex to implement. -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: [OT] Plan B; Kill 2 million babies A YEAR, in complete privacy
The line is currently viability: can the fetus exist by itself. Until that point (which itself is not hard and fast), it cannot be considered as independent of the woman in which it finds itself, and thus cannot be considered a separate legal entity. Exist by itself? A healthy human baby, born naturally, can not exist on itself for very long without adults caring for it. Does that mean it's not viable? Or does 'exist by itself' mean it can exist with medical neo-natal technology? -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Re: [OT] Plan B; Kill 2 million babies A YEAR, in complete
Legislation of 'morality', however, must be done at some point to prevent theft, murder, etc. That line is when the interests of society outweigh the rights of an individual. I guess I cannot comprehend where the interests of society lie in killing babies... especially when we are facing a social security crisis in upcoming years with almost as many people collecting as paying in. If we hadn't killed all those babies, we would have a lot more workers supporting the system. That's because you are looking at it backwards. It seems you think the government needs to explicitly grant freedoms such as abortion because society feels it in their interest. But rather in a free country, the individual would have a right to the abortion and the government would have to exclude it by creating a law banning it(say, in the interests of the social security system, tho I see that as quite silly). It's like firewall rules-- the default is supposed to be 'allow all' and the government has to create all the 'deny ...' rules that get processed before falling through to 'allow all'. Or that's how it works if it's a free country, anyways... -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

I'm very much against the legislation of morality. Legislation of 'morality', however, must be done at some point to prevent theft, murder, etc. Where there is a public interest, legislation is appropriate. Without foundational rules, total public interest laws is simply mob rule. If everyone thought YOU were guilty, but you really weren't, wouldn't you want them to have to try you fairly using pre-defined rules with evidence, order, etc.?

Re: [NF] Can anyone recommend an event log emailer?

Re: [NF] Can anyone recommend an event log emailer?
Thanks. Yes, eye-candy sells. I'm a bit disapointed, as the 3.0 release has sold more than prior versions, but not as well as I'd hoped. It's written in VC++ and has a full COM API for integration, but that hasn't sold one license so far, and it's much more time to implement features in VC++ versus a higher level language. It's also using 'legacy' win32 calls for much of its functionality which is very problemsome, particularly with newer OS's, etc. I'm actually halfway considering writing a 4.0 in VC#.NET Either that, or leave it in a 'maintenance mode' and work on a completely separate product... I'm still on the fence as to which to spend my extra time on... database that the reporter later operated on. Both were assembler at the time, but the reporter side really could be any language. A few sample Yes, the Overseer management application could be in any COM-consuming language as well, as the guts of functionality is in the service and the COM DLL server... Marketing is the really hard part of this (any!) business. The tact I'm on is to have a telemarketer systematically call targeted prospects (using a database app loaded with data from online directories) and read a script that invites the prospect to view an online demo (using Crossloop) given by our expert, who has the product installed with lots of data collected for show and tell. If the prospect likes the demo, they can reverse roles and our person then installs the product on the prospects machine as a purchase or for a 30-day trial. I've got the demo-person in place, but having trouble getting the telemarketer. The person I wanted is off in every direction but what I want her to do. That's a very direct marketing approach-- probably more likely to work than my more passive search-engine-optimization and other online marketing has worked. I was doing quite well with SEO before Google decided I was evil(which is why I scoff at their 'do no evil' slogan which is a blatant lie to me). I am a big believer in the eye-candy stuff, but opportunities are limited by the nature of the product. System monitors have it a little easier because they may (especially at first) find noteworthy exceptions to show in blinking red, but back office systems ... Well, best I've come up with so far is a reminders screen that pops up during startup containing reminders for high priority items in several tables (schedule, do-list, problems, changes, etc.). I'm thinking about using a treeview for this screen to get more out of the real estate, but that would require operator interaction versus I've done it for you. I'm finding that there's two distinct markets for the system/network monitors-- those that are very educated and insist on a very robust product(which Overseer admittedly is not currently), and those that like eye candy and aren't as educated. There's a few in the middle that recognize Overseer does what they need now and it's less expensive than the alternatives(which are more robust, usually). Generally, I'm having a hard time making a decent buck on Overseer. I'm lucky to make $1k/month in sales most months, and that includes some environmental monitoring hardware I resell... Better than nothing, tho... -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Just to mention, I once worked on a mainframe monitor type product that sold like hotcakes because the 1st screen that popped up after installation showed the operator things he never saw before, at which point he'd get all excited and champion the product to the company's management.

Re: Simultaneous Copying??
So you're querying a 'users logged in table' and if the current user goes to log off, and they're the only person in that table, then a backup happens? Actually, I log the last user off first, so the goal is 0 rather than 1 record, but yes. How about a simple approach of a control file?

Re: [NF] Developers Increasingly Targeting non-Windows Platforms
Windows dominance on the client is cracking, according to the latest release of Evans Data Corp's North American Development Survey. Targeting of the Windows OS has declined by 12% from a year ago, continuing a two-year gradual decline. Currently 64.8% of North American developers are targeting some version of Windows, as opposed to 74% last year and this is expected to drop another 2% in the coming year. Although Windows remains the largest market segment, Linux targeting has increased by 34% from 8.8% a year ago to 11.8% today.

Re: [NF] The Top 10 Dead or Dying Computer Skills
I suspect even Vi$ta itself is based on C, just that Micro$oft doesn't allow the next generation of .Net programmers from using C. Visual C++ is a .NET language and always has been. Visual C++ can use the .NET framework. Visual C++ has not always been a .NET language, obviously(VC++ came before .NET, hence it wasn't a .NET language then). I'm sure you know this, but the statement above makes it somewhat confusing. Take a look at a site like Sourceforge. 90% of the active projects will be plain C. Well, they all say C, C++ for the language as far as I can see. So I don't know whether that effectively means C++. Since C and C++ are not the same thing. C++ is mostly just a newer version of C with support for object orientation, some different syntax, more lenient rules on some things, exception handling, etc. And of course many C++ libraries. At the core, they're very much the same. In fact, many programs have a mix of straight C and C++ source files, all compiled to obj files and linked together to form an executable. They both compile to assembly/machine code meaning both can theoretically be just as fast as the other. -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
