One of our clients is using some Novel security software that sometimes locks some .class files that our software creates.

I am wondering are there any call...

Any programmatic techniques, portable or specific to NT and Linux that get the result of number of large files loading faster? I am after a 'ahead of time', a priori, whatever you prefer to call it mechanisms that I can control in code for two OS-es in question. Each file has to be processed in full, ie. completely in size and sequenti...
I have an application that uses a properties file that was added by hand at the /project/bin folder (Eclipse project). The application locates the file using: this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("filename.properties") Now I want to add this file in Eclipse, so it's actually part of the project. In which directory shou...
Hi, I am trying to write a web application that will serve uploaded files, and let the uploader specify the content type. For this to work, I need to be able to control the content-type when I serve the file. With most web-servers I'm aware of (e.g. Apache), the best I can do in that respect is set an appropriate suffix and hope that no...

When I try to open MS Office files on my website I first get a popup that says "The website you want to view requests identification. Please choose a certificate" I have "Ignore Client Certificates" checked, and the only other answer I've seen involves playing with the registry which I'd like to avoid. Even more annoyingly, if I click ...
Often, when doing a process or storing files I typically try to work with a workflow, or system. For instance, when I download a file, I sort it within a folder Programming/Downloads/Templates/ or Libraries, etc., and when I start a project I create a new folder for it within a workspace folder. This works fine, unless I need slightly ...
I am using AVAudioRecorder to save an audio file every 15 seconds by stopping the recording appending that data to the previously recorder file using a NSMutableData object and using the appendData method. I then record again in the same method so the recording is "continuous". The problem is as soon as you do [recorder stop] it saves...

For what I know, it's best practice to name files like this: file_name.txt - or if you want to file-name.txt. Now some people seem to like to name their files fileName.txt or FILENAME.TXT or "File Name.txt" - how do explain them that it's not a good idea? Why exactly is the aforementioned file naming best practice? I only vaguely know ...
I have two sets of files with newspaper articles in them; about 20 files with about 2000 articles, and 1 file with about 100 articles. The 100 articles in the single file should be disjoint from the others, but are in fact duplicated randomly throughout the 20 files (once each). Any ideas for an easy way to find and remove the 100 dupl...
I'm working on converting an old C program (currently run on UNIX) into our C# system. The program builds some data into several structs and then writes a file using a series of fwrites like this: fwrite ( &loc, sizeof ( struct loc_items ), 1, hdata.fp ); With loc being the data, struct loc_items being the struct it's a type of.
