I was wondering if anyone had any known resources on how/why Windows deals with registering and subsequently loading DLLs. For example, on Linux there a library search path whereas Windows somehow uses the registry to find and load dlls. (Atleast from what I can tell) I haven't really found...

I'm trying to learn C and/or C++ because I've been programming in languages that take care of the dirty work for me (bounds checking, garbage collection, etc) and I think the experience would be beneficial. Generally when I've wanted to learn a new language I've had a project I wanted to write...

Finally figured it out. The asynchronous methods don't throw the exception but pass them along with the EventArgs object to the DownloadComplete event. (Someone correct me if I'm still wrong on that)

I'm using the C# WebClient object and if I run the method 'DownloadFileAsync' and the remote file does not exist (AKA, I get an http 404 from the server) a WebException is not thrown. However, all of the synchronous calls do raise the exception. The only way I can tell if the server return a...

Thanks everyone for your replies and mike for demonstration. The question was more out of pure curiosity and trying to expand my own knowledge. The code is in Python if it makes any difference.

Quick question. Is it anymore efficient, in terms of execution speed, to write a line of code like answer = sanitizeInput(raw_input(wrapText(questionStr), lineWidth)).upper() versus breaking it up into multiple lines to something like this maybe answer =...

I'll keep what you said in mind. I'm not really the argumentative type anyways. :p Upon further investigation that company appears to be a service provider/co-location company so who knows who actually owns the actual ip address. No reverse dns on it either. Thanks for the quick replies

I was skimming through my logs and found a host that was trying to brute force log into our SSH server at work. They never made it in successfully. I looked the IP up at whois.domaintools.com and found that it belongs to a company in my country (U.S). "Mzima Networks Inc" to be exact... Can...

UT2004 with the DVD wasn't too bad. I did it from the terminal though if that kind of thing scares you

I've installed vmware-tools numerous times but they been on mostly Debian based systems. I've installed them on RHEL5 and I dont remember having the problems you stated. You could try running the script that tar.gz file instead of the rpm.

I've left all the data for my servers in /var

Works. Thanks!

I have a couple workstations in our network that have additional network adapters that VMware Workstation creates. Is there anyway to have these be excluded from the dynamic dns that AD does?

NOTE: Quick note for anyone who uses this thread for a solution. You may need to run "no ip redirects" or else your user's routing tables will be full of useless routes to internet hosts Actually the secondary address would work better in my case. That way I wont have to worry about...

VMware Workstation along with Visual Studio, Eclipse, etc. And then from time to time I'll play some Crysis :p Running on Vista 64bit and Debian Etch x64
