Thought I'd let you know that it's back. Seems there was a glitch that caused it to be deleted, but it has since been restored. Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

One issue I always wondered about is responsibility. Here in the USA we have different legal actions that we can use if deals go bad or a product does harm, but I would asusme there is not much you could do in those situations if you offshore.

All google finds is "cause M$ loves D3D more" I sense a hole tearing in the very fabric of existence - I agree with the "MS loves D3D more" comment :omg: Or, to be a little more fair, MS designed Aero around D3D. There are apparently some technical reasons why Aero (and thus DX10) and OpenGL can't control overlapping surfaces in the current architecture. You can use hardware-accelerated OpenGL under two conditions: - Turn off Aero - Regardless of Aero state, run OpenGL program in fullscreen This, of course, assumes you've got video drivers that accelerate OpenGL.

And people here could point you to linux drivers. Similarly, if you have Vista then you need a Vista driver.

lolly pure genius. its like a friend of mine making an archiver: him: First, you take your data and write it as a BMP file, all colors the same(making it grey). A 256 color BMP, that is then, you convert it to a GIF. since GIF is a 256 color format, there isnt any loss. then, when needed, convert it back. Brillant, isnt it? lol. rara avis in terris

Unfortunately I have an all-too-long experience with piss-poor HP support software. The bloatware I can ignore, since everyone does it. The device driver that won't install because the installation can't find its own files, the installation that BSOD's, the driver that won't let Windows delete jobs, and the driver that's slower than a teletype in January, I can't. I've found the best approach with HP support software is to take the CD, a ball peen hammer, and apply the latter to the former until there is no possibility it could be read. Then install the generic HP drivers supplied by Microsoft. While they may have been initially supplied by HP, at least they've been tested by the WHQL and provide a minimum level of functionality.

Heh, given it's spoken in a fake* Indian accent and I've never seen that ad so far, it must be targeted at foreign audiences. But funny nonetheless. :-D * Of course, there is no '*the* Indian accent' as a Tamilian's accent is very different from a Mallu's, both of which have nothing in common with a Maharashtrian's, which is very different from a Bengali's. :rolleyes: Cheers, Vikram.

I like your succinct reasoning comments here. A few things I picked up on. andy brummer wrote: To put it sucinctly: There is a higher truth. It is hidden from us and all we see are it's shadows. If you've read Plato it's esentialy his argument for a higher plane. I don't know whether you're saying this in the philosophical sense, or the physical sense, but as far as Quantum Mechanics goes, you're right. I know this is grossly simplifying it, but in Quantum Mechanics, the thing being observed is affected by the observer. For example, you can't measure an electron's location and velocity, because by measuring the location, you change its velocity. In Relativity, the measurement depends upon your relative location and speed. Okay, the pencil might have a constant length in 4-dimensional space-time, but at speed the pencil would shrink in 3-dimensional space, to an outside observer. But if you could be in the pencil, it wouldn't seem to be changing. So we're affected by gravity. It's "hidden from us" because we can't become outside observers. Kind of the point I was trying to make. I'm sorry, I guess we were just reaching the same conclusion. Danny The stupidity of others amazes me!

Your answer terrifies me. I want to know when someone is modifying my operating system. I make my $$ off of a functioning computer. It's a development laptop. If I drop in a music CD that I bought, and it toasts my OS, there is a serious problem. I don't expect a music CD to install s/w.... no one would. I read an article last night where a spyware company is being sued by a monitoring company for detecting their product on a 3rd party system.

Nasscomm is just a government body to promote and help Indian software services companies. They do not sell any licences - they do not have any regulatory powers. I think their main job seems to be lobbying foreign countries on behalf of the big IT companies for more liberal work permits. They are not much help to the small startups. Any company in India can import software and hardware duty free - upto a maximum value of their exports.
