Dear hamsters, you don't do this type of storage do you?

Well, CP offers an "email your password if you forget it" option, so the actual password, not just a hash, must be stored somewhere. Encrypted we hope, but still stored in a retrievable form.

I can sort of understand the control manufactures reluctance. IE9 is a big change, and it's still in beta. Releasing official support for a beta product can lead to a lot of support problems, since when the beta changes, and then breaks your released product, you now have a lot of customer shouting at you, since your product now doesn't work.

You may want to edit the title of your post. Not becuase you beat me to the news, but Google indexes CP very quickly, and Chris won't apreciate i****t being associated with his web site in search listings.

But surely, if I only had one printing system, installing the software on that one system would be a sensible thing to do. If that doesn't have a negative effect on the performance of that system, why would installing the software say, three times, on three independant printing systems affect the performance of each system? The single database scheme may not work in all cases anyway. They may have remote sites connected via low-bandwidth links, there may be departmental politics issues where one department isn't permitted to see stats from another department etc, etc.

Well, HDMI 1.4 is talking at just over 10Gbit/s, which is pretty rapid. Cable quality will affect the digital signal, especially over longer runs. At HD frame rates, you can't really resend corrupted data - you just display what you have, and that will manifest as artifacts and incorrect colours on the screen. It will appear to be just like a low-quality analogue signal. Having said that, £135 for this[^] is pure snake oil.

True, a lot of "game development" these days is graphics work and scripting the game engine that you buy, but if you to do the low level stuff, go and work for the game engine company, not the game publishing company.

I don't know why it's the standard

I'm not asking why it's the standard where you are. You seem to like it as a naming convention. What I'm asking is why you like it. Why do you think it's better than the others? I may have misinterpreted your opinion of course. You may dislike it as much as I do...

Server and Network Monitoring

Not really. It still doesn't explain why it's the standard in the first place. That's what I'm trying to userstand. Lots of people use camel case as a naming standard, but no-one seems able to say why it's better than the others. So, if you were tasked with developing a set of coding standards, and you decided to use camel case for variables, would you be explain to someone the benefits of that over an MFC-style str... or C-style lpsz... convention?

No, it's a justification for using a standard. It's not a justifcation for selecting camel case as that standard. Your point about "You can tell at a glance what you're dealing with (local/member/property etc). And if we all do things the same way it makes it easier to understand each other's code." are entirely valid, and I agree with them, but they apply just as much to Hungarian notation as camel case.

Who knows? The point is convention.

And that's my point. All you're saying is that being consistent is good, and being able to identify scope from name is good. But that's not a justification for using camel case. I've never seen a good reason why it's "better" than other naming standards, and I think it's worse. My deliberately chosen example is something that is conventionally called a number, but in the real world is very ofen a mixture of letters and numbers, and so has to be represented as a string. Using the camel case standard, you somethings can't infer data type from the name, which to me seems a backward step.

Since you like it, what's the rationale for starting just the first word with a lower case letter? Why is customerAccountNumber better than CustomerAccountNumber or strCustomerAccountNumber or lpszCustomerAccountNumber ?
