I'm developing on a machine without an physical RS232 serial ports, but I would like to make fake serial ports that I can connect to and output data from with the aim of faking input from hardware senso...
Git works fine on my dev box, but ever so often, I'll go to push something to the repository and it will go through the motions like its actually pushing, but then it will get stuck like this $ git push origin master Counting objects: 9, done. Delta compression using up to 2 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. Writing obje...
I read that early builds of Chrome supported ActiveX, but was later restricted to certain MIME types (for support for say Windows Media Player). I then read Google was going to enable ActiveX strictly for the Korean market. How do I (re)enable this in Chrome? Our web based product relies on ActiveX controls from 3rd parties to play cu...
I'm currently trying to debug an Elgg-based website (I didn't develop it) and I would like to send the emails directly from local development machine (WinXP). I'm running WAMP with Apache 2.2.11 and PHP 5.3.0 After some searching, the simplest solution that I've come across is using fake sendmail to forward it to my GMail/Google apps ac...
Is there any way that a running process can delete its own executable? For example, I make a console application (single exe) and after doing some tasks it somehow deletes the exe file. I have to send a single file to someone. And I want it deleted after it does its intended task. Is there anyway to do it in Windows ...

I've built an intranet app, using windows-based authentication, and it won't authenticate using the instance of IE6 that is installed on the box - Firefox has no problems, and a sysadmin has successfully got in using IE7. I have ticked 'Enable Integerated Windows Authentication', I have added the url to the intranet zone list, and set th...
Hello. I would like to write a Group Policy Extension for my application. The config is rather complex (hierarchical) and so doing it via ADMX is not a likely option. The problem is I cannot find any sample code to help me even get started. The MSDN help (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa374176%28VS.85%29.aspx) offers little in...

I want to create a java application that is the shape of an "L" so that the application only occupies the left and bottom borders of the screen. I also do not want the normal borders and title bar at the top. I've seen other people creating circles and other shapes like that, but no complex shapes. This is for a windows xp computer an...
I have an MSI installer in which I need to add or modify a short text property from the command-line. This has to be done after the installer is built; I cannot modify the process that produces the installer in the first place. It also has to be executed headless from a script. When I say "property," it could be an MSI property, a val...

After some hundred recursions new fails although i am using a native 64Bit application on Windows XP x64. The machine has 10 GB RAM, The application only uses about...

Hello, I'd like to find out which of the DLLs located in various of my installed softwares have been compiled with SafeSEH and which ones haven't. Is there a tool that could give me that information, otherwise what would be the best solution to code something that does that verification? Thanks in advance. ...
I'm about to start using LocalConnections in a couple SWF's to let them talk to each other. But before I head down this road, I need to make sure it's not going to cause any popups and confirmation dialogs to appear from the system. If I use a local socket server, that causes the Windows firewall and many others to flag it and require c...
I have a very simple Winsock2 TCP client - full listing below - which simply blasts a bunch of bytes. However, it's running very slowly over the network; the data just trickles by. Here's what I've tried and found (both Windows PCs are on the same LAN): Running this app from one machine to the other is slow - it takes ~50s to send 8MB...
I'm writing a script that (I hope) will be widely distributed and I want make sure that it will work on as many servers as possible out of the box. This script will require an .htaccess file but I've learned some htaccess files are not very portable. The htaccess needs to do a simple redirect, like so: http://example.com/dir/string R...

Is there any significant difference in behavior (HTML, CSS, Javascript, ...) with Internet Explorer 8 on different operating systems? In other words, will a web page work the same way across IE8+XP, IE8+Vista and IE8+Win7, or are there some significant differences? (I'm aware that installed plugins and fonts will have an impact, but th...
