Howdy Overflowites, I'm looking to see if anyone knows of a higher-resolution "Sleep" API than can be achieved using the following code block: ::timeBeginPeriod( 1 ); ::Sleep( 1 ); ::timeEndPeriod( 1 ); I'm trying to accomplish some "process balancing" work, and after some experimenting, find I need finer grain control than the...

For my school work, I do a lot of switching computers (from labs to my laptop to the library). I'd kind of like to put this code under some kind of version control. Of course the problem is that I can't always install additional software on the computers I use. Is there any kind of version control system that I can keep on a thumb dri...
I'm using a build script that calls Wise to create some install files. The problem is that the Wise license only allows it to be run under one particular user account, which is not the same account that my build script will run under. I know Windows has the runas command but this won't work for an automated script as there is no way to e...

I already make the assumption that Auto Arrange and Align to Grid are unchecked. Ex: The program creates the shortcut to the desktop than places it at position (450,302) on the desktop. I know how to create sho...
In an environment with multiple windows servers what is the best way to ensure patch compliance accross all systems?

Is there a tool for Windows XP and Vista (built-in or otherwise ideally freeware/OSS) that can notify the user when the CPU is above a (configurable) threshold for some (configurable) duration? I am particularly interested in a minimalist tool that fits the following bill and in order of importance (which a lot of the built-in Windows f...
Do you know of any compilers that only requires one or two clicks on the source code to compile? Having to configure it to do it doesn't count, nor does having to go to a terminal and write a word or two. Extra points are given if you can give your own view as to why so few compilers have a gui included, or just a send to compiler listi...
I have a C extension module and it would be nice to distribute built binaries. Setuptools makes it easy to build extensions modules on OS X and GNU/Linux, since those OSs come with GCC, but I don't know how to do it in Windows. Would I need to buy a copy of Visual Studio, or does Visual Studio Express work? Can I just use Cygwin or MinG...
