I used the code from http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0580.html to get Motherboard Id, but the result is "null". How can that be? Also I modified the code a bit to look like this to get ProcessorId: "Set objWMIService = GetObject(\"winmgmts:\\\\.\\root\\cimv2\")\n"+ "Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ \n"+ ...

EDIT: The operating system in question is Windows. On Linux, a roundabout way to accomplish this is with Jack, but I'm hoping for a way to read the data in the audio buffer without ha...
I have an environment variable set in Windows as TEST=abc£ which uses Windows-1252 code page. Now, when I run a Perl program test.pl this environment value comes properly.

In my application, I have a 'logging' window, which shows all the logging, warnings, errors of the application. Last year my application was still single-threaded so this worked [quite] good. Now I am introducing multithreading. I quickly noticed that it's not a good idea to update the logging window from different threads. Reading so...
I want to apply NTFS-Search to our project. Our project have to find the files which we specified.(fast and exactly!) But I'm not sure the program(NTFS-Search) works well. What if the specified file is system file? What if the file is being opened by a process with NO_READ_SHARE_MODE? Do you think NTFS-Search can find any files? I don'...
Hi everybody, I'm working hard on making my product work seamlessly on Windows 7. The problem is that there is a small set of global (not user-specific) application settings that all users should be able to change. On previous versions I used HKLM\Software\__Company__\__Product__ for that purpose. This allowed Power Users and Administr...
I'm only after a simple solution and won't be developing anything particularly complex. But I'm wondering whether the hassals of developing an iPhone app NOT on MacOS are really that significant to avoid giving it a shot. Bearing in mind that I do have access to a mac every now and again. So I would be able to compile it using the offici...

I understand that memory has to be reserved before being committed. And when it's reserved, no other process can use it. However reserved memory does not count against available RAM. But shouldn't it? Because if no one else can use it, then what good is it being "available"? Or is there some bigger difference? ...
I'm using fork() on Perl on Windows (ActivePerl) for a basic socket server, but apparently there are problems (it won't accept connections after a few times), is there any workaround?

Right now my command line looks like this: sqlldr uesr/password@tns_id..., I'd like to replace tns_id with a DSN that points to tns_id. Can SQL Loader figure out ...

Something like this: C:\> App.exe file.abc However, I just double clicked an .xls file and then checked the PEB of the Excel instance that sprang up. To...
