When ever this happens, if the user has their sound t...

If you create a TCP client socket with port 0 instead of a non-zero port, then the operating system chooses any free ephemeral port for you.

We are moving from hand-managed Visual Studio projects to cross platform cmake. We used to open a solutions file, select a project as "Startup Target" and push Ctrl+F5 or F5 debug or run.

I'm using Eclipse in Ubuntu to edit PHP files. But, unfortunately, some of these PHP files were created in Notepad++ in Windows XP, with ANSI encoding defined.

Is it possible to resize an openGL window (or device context) created with wglCreateContext without disabling it? If so how? Right now I have a function which resizes the DC but the only way I could get it to work was to call DisableOpenGL and then re-enable. This causes any textures and other state changes to be lost.

I'm noticing a problem that has crept up a few times over the years, and seems to be happening a lot under Windows 7 in our current build.
