Are hard-drives plug-n-play? Hi, I don't know much about hardware, so I don't know how reasonable the question is. But I want to replace the RAM and possibly CPU + Motherboard on my computer, but continue using the same hard-drive. What are the restrictions on doing...

Never return void? Hi, I had a brief conversation with a colleague who stated, 'a method should never return void'. I rejected the idea out of hand, and we didn't have time to discuss it. So I was wondering if anyone here has heard of this idea or knows why this would...

How to view function signatures in library file Hi, Can anyone recommend a way to view/list the functions in a static library on winxp? I have been googling but haven't found much. I seems like it should be easier to inspect this kind of file. I've tried using 'dumpbin' but that produces...

CMake I want to move to a makefile based build system on windows. I'm familiar enough with plain old make, but I've also been looking at cmake. It seems quite different from other types of 'make' and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? ...

I'm getting screwed but is it legal? So about a week ago I gave two weeks notice to my current employer, so this is my last week. Last week I took a half day using 'personal time'. This is distinct from 'vacation time'. Whereas vacation is accrued over time according to the number of da...

Anyone used the Generic Image Library? I just came across the generic image library (gil) and I was wondering if anyone has tried it out in their games? In particular, I was wondering how you found working with the idea of concepts? Is the use of template syntax overly verbose? Was the pe...

Virtual machine (?) recommendations Hi, I have this problem at work that I'd like some help with. We have a suite of tests that test your changes didn't break anything. The problem is that these tests often bring up windows and steal focus, so I can't easily work on other thing...

Project management software hi there, I was wondering if anyone could recommend some online project management software that you've used for a team project. I'm looking to put together a team and I want a good way of tracking and managing the project. There seem to be l...

Problem w/ static const member variable in DLL I'm sure there is a simple solution for this problem but I've had trouble finding something on the web. I'm getting linker errors when I try to use a static member variable from a class exported to a DLL. For example, // foo.h class MY_API F...

WH sues Arizona college for requiring green cards. I don't understand. I can get a social security card and drivers license without having permission to work in the US. So clearly it is not 'sufficient to show that a person is authorized to work' (I should note that this is the case for Massachusetts...

Conflict of interest or am I ok? As ApochPiQ mentioned some companies will require that anything you create on your own time is their intellectual property. I worked for a company that required this and it was one of the reasons why I eventually left there. So, yes, be car...

Never return void? Thanks everyone for helping me to understand this better. My colleague does come from a functional background and so it may be this that is informing his opinion. I should have been clearer in my description, so my use of the word function may ha...

Differential equation problem A useful little relation to remember, particularly in physics, is that y dy/dt = (1/2) d(y^2)/dt so now your problem can be written as d(y^2)/dt = 2 * 50 => y^2 = 100 t + C which is pretty easy :-) Unfortunately, that may not help you...
