Some published research shows that other minority groups, especially asians, suffered the most because of AA. Also heard people saying that asians are already over-represented when it comes to college admissions and scholarships, etc. , while blacks are under-represented. Just wondering if the same people will also try to increase the asian representation in various sports. Can you imagine NBA will pick Yao Ming just to increase diversity?

According to his believers: 1. God once killed all the first-born sons of Egyptions. 2. He continue to kill many thousands innocent people year after year with flood, earthquake, tornado, etc. (weapons of mass destruction he invented). Remember? These things are called acts of god. So God is absolutely the biggest terrorist of all time. Let's destroy his organization (the churches), freeze up his assets (the charitable contributions), and hunt down his supporters (the christians). :confused: :confused: :confused:

Did you call AfxSockInit befofre using CSocket? Also, you may have problem making CSocket work correctly because your service is a console application. If you can make your code work in a regular MFC program (outside an NT service), then this tool by Xiangyang Liu might help you. Good luck.
