    Wow, cnosidering the number of changes that can be made to an entire file system, that could generate more emails than any spammer on this planet today. Oh...and how would emailing file system changes be useful to anyone?? After being in this industry for 23 years, wearing many different hats, I fail to see how being notified of file system changes would be useful...

        Look, your post graduate project time framed for 6 months is a tiny piddly thing which really involves wiring up two existing components in the .NET Framework. There is nothing at all innovative in this. As I said you could put a proof of concept together in an afternoon. In order to do all the research and documentation behind it will take a wee bit longer, but then I compare what you are doing for a post-graduate degree to what I did for my under-graduate degree 14 years ago. Now, 14 years ago the tools were more primitive and I had to do a heck of a lot more work and yet I managed to turn in a working Geographical Information System that could read Ordnance Survey map data. You could pan and zoom around the map, turn on and off various map features, change the styles, select stuff on the map and perform spatial queries on it and so on. I had to write my own code for practically everything because I didn't have fancy frameworks to do most of what I had to achieve. If this is the state of education these days then we shall surely end up worse up much worse off before long.

        Never mind your undergrad work; the DOS based tetris game i wrote my junior year of HS at a final project over the course of about 2 months is a few orders of magnitude greater in scope than this kidiot's farce. :rolleyes:

          It's as useful as this is a legitimate MSC level project. :doh:

                          If you know the naming convention of the culture it comes from when why not? Where it gets fuzzy is when people do daft things like name their daughter Mackenzie (Son of Kenneth)

                              What? The OP's name? No idea. But if a person recognised it and could work out gender from a name... For example, is "Colin" masculine of femenine? For an English speaker the answer is fairly obvious, but if you are from another culture that has never come in contact with cultural conventions of English speakers then it might no be obvious. As for Mackenzie it is Gaelic in origin. The "Mac" (or more recently "Mc") prefix on a name means "Son of".

                                    Well Vinitha seems Indian name. That too from South India where people use "th" in places where North Indian will use "t". Rest cannot be decoded by me.
