    WebBrowser Control

    Hi, I have questions about WebBrowser control (AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser). I wonder whether it is possible to capture the new URL when the user clicks on a HTML link, to process or validate the new URL, and to prevent or allow the browser control to proceed. The problem is that...

    jdk 1.5 OutOfMemoryError

    I don't have any problem with running JDK 1.5 on Win XP (SP2). My 1.5 co-exists pretty well with the 1.4.2 (I didn't delete it). They both works well with Ant and JUnit for my projects so far. I am thinking that probably your 1.5 didn't install properly or perhaps the downloaded files was...

    Hackers trying to guess root login

    Save the log, find all info you can about the attacker (IP address, etc.), and report them to the authority (FBI, etc.). If it is a targeted attack, you can't afford to be defensive. The attacker will not be deterred by your defense and will break in soon or later. The best way is to pursue...

    MFC/Win32 programming??

    Another thing to add is that I generally find it easier to find reference/examples from MSDN on MFC than on Win32 API. MFC also forces you to use C++ (MFC is object-based), whereas with Win32 API you have the flexibility to use C or C++.

    What makes a good program great?

    Engineering is a different matter from Marketing. Just because a program is well-engineered, it doesn't mean that the program will sell well. That is where user training, software support, documentation, etc. should come in. I would classify Microsoft as a great marketing company than an...

    Worms, Trojans, Spyware.........format?

    Hi, Bear in mind that HijackThis deals primarily with browser hijackers (adware, spyware). It's not as useful when dealing with conventional viruses and worms - that is where antivirus software comes in. For CoolWebSearch problem, you may want to try CWShredder. It is the ultimate tool...

    I would be lost without Microsoft products!!

    I do respect Microsoft and its products. However, I also feel that Microsoft has been trying to cross a dangerous line in trying to secure its long-term ability to generate more profits. In doing so, Microsoft may destroy the long-term value creation for its customers. From economic...

    Develop design and coding standards, OOP

    There is one thing that you may need to remember as you are helping transitioning your colleagues to OOP: OOP is just one approach to programming. OOP is not necessarily better than the linear programming approach nor is linear programming better than OOP. There are many fine, time-tested...

    Need help finding Intrusion Detection and Packet Sniffer

    You may want to check Snort out. Snort is flexible, reliable and free (although it does not have fancy GUI). Snort was originally developed for Unix system and its variants (in particular for Linux). Due to an increasing demands from Windows users, Snort later was ported to Windows platform...

    What makes a good program great?

    Are you referring about the software being great from the users or the programmers' perspectives? Because programmers and users may not share the same values of what they consider as being a great program. From users' point of view, a great program is a program that ... conveniently and...

    Progress Monitor

    ...average time for future use. The next time rainfall method is called, you can use this average time to estimate the time it will take (no_of_item * avg_time) to complete the job, and further refine the average time with the new data everytime the method is used. Of course this method will...

    RedHat File Naming Types

    I am not sure whether endian is the problem. I said it may be the problem. Try this method to test whether it's endian conversion problem: Instead of directly opening/importing the file, use window explorer, find and copy the file from the Linux server to the local XP machine. Then, use...

    RedHat File Naming Types

    I am thinking that you may be having an endian problem. Macs and other Unix systems typically use a big endian system, whereas MS Windows uses small endian. Big and small endians differ in their byte arrangements and typically their proper byte rearrangement is done by the respective client...

    Securing code

    First, your codes have a buffer overflow problem. 'cmd' buffer has 100 bytes allocated to it and there is no proper check to ensure that argv[1] fits the allocated buffer. When the user enters argument (argv[1]) that exceeds the size of 'cmd' buffer minus the length of...

    The programming langauge of the future ?

    Dimandja, please note I did not say that pointer is C-specific feature. I agree with Cajun that pointer has existed even before C. Pointers are mere storage containing memory addresses. It has been used even before assembly language was a language. It is as old as the machine language...

    The programming langauge of the future ?

    I do think that pointers (however unsafe they may be) are crucial when doing low-level programming (such as operating system or device driver programming). While application programming may be moving towards Java and C#, Assembly, C and C++ are here to stay - doing the jobs that other high...

    template functions

    My understanding is that VC++ 6.0 does not support template specializations (although the C++ standard does - see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;240866). My suggestion is that you should try to redesign your codes and avoid template specializations whenever possible...

    What language was Windows written in?

    It's not confirmed but I heard that .NET platform is fully (maybe mostly) written in C#. If this is true, future versions of Windows may be written in C# as well. So we got the whole family of C downthere starting from the grandma ASM. :P

    visual c++ version6 program slowness

    In addition, doing looping is not a very good way of measuring performance because the software may be sharing the processor's time with other running applications/services and these running applications/services may differ between the two machines. Thus, you will not get an objective view of...

    visual c++ version6 program slowness

    When a compiler compiles a source code, the compiler does more than just stripping the comments, variable's names, etc. and converting those stripped codes into machine language. A compiler does its own additional optimization based on the OS and the hardware of the computer where you are...
