(ot) Powerpoint question

2010-01-06 Thread Stefan Richter
Hi all, sorry for the OT question but I think someone here may be able to advise. Is it technically possible to keep an application (for example a Windows executable of some kind) on top of a Powerpoint presentation which is in fullscreen, presenter mode? Imagine I was presenting a PPT file

I think that PowerPoint lets you draw directly on slides within PowerPoint itself, in full screen mode. There are keyboard shortcuts to erase annotations, show and hide the mouse pointer, etc. Dave Merrill Web . Database . Interaction Design -Original Message- From: Stefan Richter

McAfee OnAccess Scan and ColdFusion Servers: Performance

Afternoon all, We have McAfee enterprise running on our live webservers and I've noticed performance issues that may be to do with the OnAccess scanner scanning .jar and possibly .class files. One very obvious symptom occurs when restarting CF: with scanning turned off, a restart happens nearly

Oh yeah, YES - It's the Yodeling Encryption System - the method is quite simple actually, but deeply mathematical in principle - Each encryption is done using a key of the binary data produced by a 10 second yodeler. No two yodels are alike, of course, so that produces a mathematically

I don't have a ton of experience with web services, but I would think the answer is no. Web services generally return string representations of data, either in the form of XML or JSON. You could use something like cfajaxproxy to create a js proxy object to a cfc, but even then you would need

Encryption is not the same thing as Hashing. Encryption is reversible, hashing (ideally) is a one-way function. Common hashing algorithms include MD5 and SHA1 Common encryption algorithms include AES, RSA and Blowfish Hashing of passwords and storing them in the database unencrypted is the most
