When using built-in Print-/Fax viewer, the Tif prints, but I see no difference between mixed black of CMY and pure black of K. I can verify the Tif is CMYK by seperating channels with ImageMagick (convert cmyk...

Is there a Windows equivalent to Linux's readahead syscall? EDIT: I would like a full function signature if possible, showing the equivalent offset/count parameters (or lower/upper). Eg: The Linux function signature is: ssize_t readahead(int fd, off64_t *offset, size_t count); and an example of it's use is readahead(file, 100, 500...
A few of my users have problems starting up my Java application on Windows XP and 7. I cannot reproduce the bug on my systems. On Mac, the next step would be to ask them to send their system profile to me by going to Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info and then saving the system profile. Is there an equivalent on Windows? I would l...

I'm starting to modify my app, which uses all hardcoded strings for errors, GUI, etc. I'm considering these two approaches, but let me know if there is an even better way: -Put all string in ressource (.rc) files. -define all strings in a file, once for each language. Use a preprocessor define to decide which strings get compiled i...

I created a java program that will pop up a dialog, and scheduled it as a task. Everything works fine except when the scheduled java program runs and the dialog pops up, there is another window (svchost.exe) hanging behind the dialog box and doesn't go anywhere until the java program finishes its execution. The program is running in Wind...
I'm working on a network stack at the moment, and I'm trying to implement IPv4 fragmentation. Whilst I have an implementation which works in theory, I would like to actually test that it works by throwing actual fragmented packets at it. Is there any software or perhaps an easy way to write code to do this? I'd rather not go and modify ...

Every so often, with no definite pattern as far as I can tell saved output is display...
