In C++ is there a way to unconditionally kill a process? No matter what state this process is in. I know about TerminateProcess, but it can still fail. What if you don't want it to fail.

When using a HTTP binding in WCF, I need to grant myself special permissions to be able to bind to that port/path. I understand this is because WCF accepts HTTP traffic through the http.sys driver. In the olden days, we could new up a socket and bind to any old port that wasn't in use, without being an admin. NetTcpBinding is still abl...

I know I can use subprocess.Popen to run an executable, and potentially redirect stdin and stdout to files / using pipes to my process. Is there a way to run an executable such that the spawned process has no relation to the current Python process, however? Meaning, I want to start a process in the same way as if I would double-click on ...
I'm having problem at mipmapping the textures on different hardware. I use the following code: char *exts = (char *)glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS); if(strstr(exts, "SGIS_generate_mipmap") == NULL){ // use gluBuild2DMipmaps() }else{ // use GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP } But on some cards it says GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP is supported when its not,...
