I'll fill out the dozen!

But it had to be an octagon! :laugh:

Programming a scanning laser for a tattoo removal device....

For the first time in my two and a half decade career so far... I wrote a base class named "Shape" and derived "Square", "Circle", "Triangle" and "Octagon" classes! :-D

Is WPF dead? :)

I've been using it for about a month or so. I find that many of my favorite sites work just fine and appear to load fast (CP, Facebook, YouTube, etc.) but then if I stray and get sucked into something like a site with the top 17 funnies cat videos or whatnot, the pages are agonizingly slow. Probably partly due to Edge not have my beloved AdBlocker but is it really just that? Are others not seeing the hyped speed improvements too?

Put a cover over it that doesn't touch it but is only a foot above it! It is common space, right? Then he'll know how you feel! :mad:

I have been. But I wanted more feedback from this community. :-D

Can anyone recommend a good Web Hosting provider for an ASP.NET site? We're in the US - West Coast region. I'll do the legwork to see if they have all the features I need but I'm looking for mainly the best low cost provider I can get for a non-profit group. Thanks, Chris

And its always good to keep that transaction locked while waiting for the user to dismiss the message box. :)

Ever turn on prompts for cookies in your browser? wow...

After seeing the replies and studying the assemble code, I ended up convencing myself that all was operating as it should and I need to just be aware of it. Although I do try to code a bit differently - i.e. not put a return in a catch block. Chris

A out of date graphics driver for the Win 7 machine can cause software rendering to kick in and thus be much slower.

And how did we run out?

If anyone wants to see what an all democratic legislature can do "right", just take a look at California! Yep...just keep spending more...thats the sure ticket out of this mess. :mad:

Are there any rules of thumb, guidelines, issues with, etc... about having a return in a catch block? For example: try { // Some code... } catch (std::exception &) { // log error return -1; } Also try this test using VC with VS 2005 SP1 (Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 77626-009-0000007-41138) 1) Create standard MFC dialog based application 2) Add new method with signature: int foo(); 3) in foo add the following code: std::vector v; try { v.push_back(1); } catch (std::exception &;) { return 1; } // Just some code that does something... if (v.size()) { } return 0; 4) Step through the code in debugger. On several systems, I see the debug statement indicator move onto the line with "return 1". The disassembly code is very strange indeed. Any comments from the guru's out there? :) Thanks!

Hi - When I use CWnds's CreateControl(), it wants a rect for the size of the control. If the ActiveX control is bigger than that rect, how can the container discover this information? Thanks. Chris
