It's not going to tell me whether or not it gets restored in the proper way when deserializing it on another platform that has a different byte order. It should serialize it in little-endian format. That way you may be pretty confident it will work on other platforms (as quick-test result 'pretty confident' is good, anyway, I suppose checking the endianess is a bit painful). I would say (based on Dr.Dobb's article): if you don't make mistakes, it will work. :) If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

Looks very appealing, but I think I'm hooked on MS's 'Natural' style now.

Any big banners like that make me more likely to be suspicious. Along the lines of "Methinks they doth protest too much". Reminds me of the following blog post - it's about software awards, rather than flashy "virus checked!" gifs, but the points the same... http://successfulsoftware.net/2007/08/16/the-software-awards-scam/[^] Iain.

Even if you have a link pointing to an updated article people will still miss it. I do see a problem, as Hans pointed out, that the person who takes over the article might screw it up. Maybe the contributions of the new owner can be clearly delineated within the original article and have an option for the community to rate the new owner's contribution so that if it falls below a certain rating then the added section gets removed from the original article.

I think its pretty much gone. I put it in PC, but the drive doesn't spin at all and the PCB on the drive gets quite hot. I think the actual platters are OK so I'm positive that all the data can be recovered. Yip.. I have been googling and found a place that will do an emergency/priority recovery for about R2500.00. I'm willing to spend that amount on getting my data back. A friend phoned a short while ago and told me of a place near map studio that does it for about R500.00 Cheers Garth Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints

Good - I'll make a note for next time: Size 14, leather, steel tipped cheers, Chris Maunder CodeProject.com : C++ MVP

No, what he ought to feel, is his duty to not do that wrong thing, before he does it.

OK. Thanks for checking it out Cheers Garth Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints

There is an OPTIONAL ad program that it asks to install. But I think they mark it as benign since you can remove all messenger ads with it :) Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

I've been going through the same things at work as well. Some of my first programming job was an extension of the work that I had done in tech support, and I felt a real connection with the project helping out the users. It was great to read through all the positive emails and to feel like I was making a positive impact to millions of people. Then our team got new management and a site redesign brought in loads of unhappy emails and rants as only dedicated computer professionals can deliver. Mangement convieniently started to ignore the feedback and things went downhill from there. I've had a few jobs since then, but they have all been the same basic business web appication work. There are still things I love about coding, volunteering to help Chris out with the SQL performance was great. I've been writing an app to visualize and help build my intuition for understanding basic quantum mechanical theory. Working on things like this, and the hope that I could one day make a living at it are what is keeping me going at work. For me, working on other programming projects has been my hobby. I don't know many gruntled people that don't have at least a few things going on in their lives that they get excited about. Go try a bunch of stuff and see what sticks. :cool: I can imagine the sinking feeling one would have after ordering my book, only to find a laughably ridiculous theory with demented logic once the book arrives - Mark McCutcheon
