Camera output, while performing functions, SLOW converting from linux to windows (C++)
I know this is probably general, please bear with me! We've got a program that uses a web camera and, based on what the camera is seeing, runs certain functions. The program runs excellently on MacOS and Linux, and it compiles and it does run on Windows, but a couple of the functions, (including one that iterates pixel by pixel, 640x480...

When I plug in the player, it would mount the drive, copy any pending podcasts, and eject the player. How can I listen for the "plugged in" event?

Help me make my windows cmd.exe console work more like a Linux terminal
The windows terminal (the user-interface around text-applications like cmd.exe) really sucks. There is so much that the Unix-style terminals do that the windows terminal apparently cannot do, for example what if you want to re-size the window in both dimensions by dragging the border. The Windows terminal only allows you to change it's ...

How do *nix pseudo-terminals work ? What's the master/slave channel ?
I want to write a simple, dumb, X terminal emulator in C on a Linux system. At first, I just thought I would have to popen a shell and display its output. I checked xterm and rxvt code, and it looks a bit more complicated. First, I have to open a pseudo-terminal with openpty. So I look at the man page and see that openpty fills 2 file...
