Re: Telstra Cable 3.0

Greg, I switched to Telstra Bigpond Cable (BigPond® Broadband 500GB Ultimate - Cable) When I tried to get it activated they told me it wasn't available. Cable that is. Which was odd because I had had their old cable service in the past, and I had Foxtel cable connected (and it works just fine than

Some great points there for sure, also it’s interesting (from a “Silverlight is dead” point of view)that the VB6 runtime still ships with Windows 8 😊 Jason Roberts Journeyman Software Developer Twitter: @robertsjason Blog: http://DontCodeTired.com Pluralsight Courses: http://bit.ly/psjasonro

RE: TCP Messages to Server

Anthony / David, Thanks, seems to work well on shared hosting using port 80. The following seems to be the minimum construct for a raw TCP message to become a HTTP request - Message = "GET /default.aspx?Msg=ddrrggffdd HTTP/1.1" & vbCrLf & "Host: www.mugachino.com" & vbCrLf & vbCr

RE: Telstra Cable 3.0

DOCSIS 3 has been available in Melbourne for at least a few years. The place I was living at a few years ago we bought a second hand modem from ebay, plugged it in, and it was all go. Luckily almost (if not) every house I've lived at had both Optus and Telstra cables running past it, both w

I got the suggestion from a few people to speak to the LiveChat people as they are based out of Australia, unlike the phone people, and that they generally seem to have a clue. I spoke to Justin who told me that he’d never seen customers using cable services for business. He thought only ADSL

Telstra Cable 3.0

Hi Folks, Have any of you changed to using the cable 3.0 product from Telstra? We get about 30 meg download speed on our cable now but it claims to potentially make it a lot quicker. It used to not be available in our area. When I logged onto the bigpond site the other day, it said it was n

Yeah the canvas tag has taken everything you get inside XAML and moved two steps backwards and if you really formulate enough discipline and pain you get to play the game of "I'm thinking of an animation framework, it has a vowel in it and hopefully all of your team can learn and write code at the

I think you'll be surprised how far HTML5 has come along. Between the canvas tag, SVG and WebGL, I struggle to think what your graphics-intensive app may do that those technologies can't do effectively. They've all been supported by Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari for many versions now, and all l

Greg (H), sometime earlier this year I finally reached a point where I can create a WPF app at roughly the same speed as a WinForms app. It took years to find the right patterns, use command routing wisely, overcome the countless quirks, and finally become proficient at coding UIs in XAML by hand.

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 s

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
