Twitter clients are fun toys, but not all that useful for me. The Google Data API, on the other hand, provides the ability to store complex calendar data in the cloud (among other things), and fits in perfectly to serve as back-end cloud storage to my application. On the other hand, my particular application needs to be flexible enough to switch cloud providers on a moments notice, so I am unable to use the .Net client library provided by Google Code. Creating an “adapter” to connect my application ......
A friend of mine bough a 1TB hard disk the other day: “931GB after formatting”, he said. Wrong. One popular myth of the missing megabytes is that formatting the drive makes some of them go away. Formatting does have something to do with the ratio of free space to total capacity of an “empty” drive, however, formatting has little to do with the missing megabytes we are talking about here. The drive manufacturer simply lied. They all do. Disk drive manufactures would rather call a “terabyte” a trillion ......
There are 13 Seagate disk drives in the house, installed in 7 computers. Only one of them really matters. That’s the one that failed. Domain Controller Missing The disk that failed was the primary drive in the domain controller. This disk contained the operating system for the single domain controller in the house. It’s secondary disk, now inaccessible, contained: Home directories for everyone in the house iTunes Libraries for everyone in the house Source code repository for subversion Source code ......
I am tempted to use a stronger word than “deprecated”, with my recent debugging experience on my mind, but I won’t go that far. This method might as well be called Application.Crash(). When Would you Ever Call this Method? From the framework documentation: When you run a Windows Form, it creates the new form, which then waits for events to handle. Each time the form handles an event, it processes all the code associated with that event. All other events wait in the queue. While your code handles ......
The answer is not so easy. But here goes my opinion… Learn C C is your closer to the metal programming language. You must learn C. Why? Because we have reached the point where learning assembly is not particularly of any practical use, although you would gain insight into the way computers work (and what languages boil down to). The C language will allow you to program against low level APIs, such as the operating system. Write embedded software for devices, write drivers, and eventually understand ......
