from the security whitepaper: [quote] [COLOR=green]Many other solutions require servers to receive incoming packets at a public IP address. The GoToMyPC host establishes a persistent [/COLOR][COLOR=green]TCP connection to the GoToMyPC broker (poll.gotomypc.com) that allows it to be notified if any connect requests have been received.

My Vista install takes absolutely forever to reboot. So I only reboot when I have critical system updates that are being enforced by IT (I'd run it naked as well, but IT again enforces restrictions on that). Seems to avoid the problem satisfactorily, if not ideal.

I agree that illegal immigration is a problem, and that the immigrants tend to receive a lot more benefits than they should, but I don't know of a perfect solution. Not even a good solution, really...

The point of a "core curriculum" is to create intellectually well-rounded people. Obviously, everyone would rather study something they're interested in than something they aren't. However, that would create a society of people with nearly complete disjoint sets of knowledge, which would make information sharing much less effective than it …

You don't actually serve (e.g. link to) the masterpage. The .aspx file refers to the masterpage, so the server knows to put everything together correctly. This allows you to use the same masterpage on your entire site (e.g. to preserve a constant layout easily) but still link to each page. …

seredipity, I'm pretty sure you mean Vista SP1. That said, most any computer store that sells a decent amount of software should still carry XP. Heck, even the MSFT company store still has a lot of it... :icon_wink:

Interacting with IE through another app requires that you control it through a provided API. For most Microsoft products (e.g. IE), they support [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Active_Accessibility]Microsft Active Accessibilty (MSAA)[/url] (and [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msaa/msaastart_9w2t.asp]here[/url] is another link).

I don't see anything particularly wrong with your code. Two things I do see though: - By using the same seed, you'll always get the same list of numbers. Most people solve this by using the current time as a seed. - Using the global constant MAXSIZE is probably bad …

I was trying to install Vista onto a spare partition yesterday, and the installer refused to use the partition. I deleted it, formatted it, tried again, no go. Deleted it, made it bigger, repeat, no go. I was using the 3rd partition on the drive (still a primary though) but …

cout is part of the std namespace. You need to either prepend it with std:: (as in std::cout) or put [inlinecode]using std::cout;[/inlinecode] in your file before you use it. Now that I looked through your code, I'm surprised it compiles. You're not passing the necessary parameter to Properties in main(), …

Adding [inlinecode]or die(mysql_error())[/inlinecode] after a query is a poor way to back out. It would be better to call a function to handle the error than to simply kill the page (possibly even loading a separate error page and/or an automated error reporting system).

There's probably a setting where you rotated the screen. Depending on your graphics card, there should be a control program in the Control Panel where you can reset the setting.
