"If, for example, I laid down some pretty useful code and open sourced it - then a startup came along, used it to bootleg their code and made millions I'd be pretty upset." I wonde…

Even though it's fashionable to make fun of C++, I have to admit that next to Python, it's my favorite language ;)

An omission of fact is a lie in a "strict legal sense" or any sense for that matter. Explaining the perfume smell on your clothes to your wife while leaving out the part about fuck…

I will bring Michael Jackson back from the dead if you give it to me.

Clients? You mean IP. NAT anyone?

Very neat site. I wonder if anyone knows of sites that show common windows dialog/message boxes translated in various languages? I'd like to see something like that. We often get r…

Amen. The best decisions of my life were spur of the moment ones. You can't generalize. People are vastly different from one another. Two guys with the same degree from the same sc…

Many of the lost accounts opted for the economy plan that did not include backup... they got what they paid for. No backup unless they took it upon themselves.

I once used that a lot on my C64. Made sense back in 1982 and in limited cases, makes sense today.

The banks are not aware of the underlying organizations. Even if they were, they probably would not care. They only see the lawyer in the suit at the loan office signing paperwork …

Wow... thank you very much! I've never heard of this library. Looks ideal. I really do appreciate it. I've been struggling with WX.

It's C++. I do have a GUI written using WXwidgets, but it's only 75% done. I thought I'd try to sell the CLI version first and if it is popular and pays for itself somewhat, then f…

The wife told me I can't spend any more time working on it, unless I can break even on web hosting, etc. So to clarify. I have to pay for web hosting, bandwidth, storage... as thos…

It calculates trajectory, drop, etc of a bullet depending upon caliber, grain, powder, etc. It's command line only. It's windows only. No GUI, but it's very simple to use and accur…

I've grown tired of giving software away. So, I want to experiment with recouping some of the costs. I'm wrestling with pricing. I don't want to go too low as I'm concerned people …

Brute force it. 5 chars... all numeric. There can only be 100,000 possibilities. Of course, they may have logon limits to prevent this. 10^5

Ruby thinks it can... it thinks it can... it thinks it can. Maybe if it pretends "hard enough" that it is fast some day it will be. I'm just joking ;) but there is some truth to th…

I find it easy. The bad thing about c++ is its size. It's large and that tends to make it complex. However, I find that I only use about 40 to 60 percent of what c++ can actually d…

I'm not sure that's accurate. c++ is a large language. Finding developers who use the parts of c++ that you need to get the task done is easy (boost, qt, stl, wx, etc). Finding dev…

I have done this in c++... not write an entire web framework, just use compiled c++ code to do some heavy lifting on a shared web server. It worked great. Before, I was using pytho…

Does anyone know what happened to this guy? After helping capture Kevin Mitnick in 1995, he seems to have fallen off the face of the planet. Google and wikipedia are no help. I ask…

Can anyone link statically in XCode? Why did Apple break static linking in ld?

You forgot that C++ is used in Jet Fighters, and other little inconsequential things such as that ;) cite: http://www.research.att.com/~bs/JSF-AV-rules.pdf Edit... not just any jet…
