The Commodore was pretty crazy. It had 128kb of RAM, and ran at 2MHz.... And came with a Basic version that had a RENUMBER command. A RENUMBER command i tell you !!! What sweet joy.

What was the "Next Big Thing" when you started programming? -
That's right Google. You better run.I must correct you again. The people that started this discussion are highly respected law-experts. It has also been picked up by people in the danish government that want to have the legality investigated. These are not "unreal laws" as you state. They are very real indeed. As i mentioned in a previous post the actual paragraph in Danish law, that Google may or may not be violating is paragraph 264a.

I am not implying anything even remotely resembling what you babble about here. Actually i am trying to make the completely opposite point. Just because Google Street View is legal in your country does not make it legal in my country. I couldn't care less if Google Street View is legal in Holland, or anywhere else - but i do care whether they break Danish law or not by taking Pictures in Denmark.

Do you live in a country where taking photographs in public places is illegal?
I live in a country where taking photographs in public places is illegal under some circumstances, yes. Some people in Denmark are questioning whether or not Google Street View is legal in Denmark based on paragraph 264a in Danish law.

Please fill me in on the thought-process that led to you posting such a question to me based on the things i wrote in this thread...

You are making the assumption again, that the law is the same all over the world. Well... it isn't :)

"Can you name a country where taking a photograph in a public street, where there are no top-secret military installations, is illegal?"
Well actually.... I may have to name Denmark then. There has been some discussion as to the legallity of Street View in Denmark recently, and several law-experts have stated that it probably isn't. Google has not done anything to clear the legality, other than repeatedly stating that it is completely legal. That doesn't actually make it legal though. It is the act of deliberately taking pictures of people in places that are not freely available that is illegal. Mounting a camera on top of a car and driving slowly past someones house while taking pictures of them over their hedge - And posting it on the internet afterwards - is seen by many as a clear violation of that law.

So do not attack my (and Google's) legal right to do something that is perfectly legal by saying that it infringes your non-legal non-right to do bad/illegal/stupid things.
Please do not assume that the laws governing your particular country also apply to all other countries. It is by no means certain that what google is doing is legal in all countries.

Do Scandinavians understand English?It is very hard to keep a Danish GUI in Windows. There is, of course, a Danish version of Windows, and Danish versions of most major software packages, but you are bound to end up with 2-3 programs that you cant find in a Danish version, so trying to get a Danish interface will usually mean a mixed interface. For that reason I prefer installing an english version of Windows, and prefer an english GUI iin the programs i run. I think most of my friends do the same. Since your program seems to be targetting the nerdy part of the population, i think many of them will prefer an english GUI too.

Do Scandinavians understand English?Since the question is written in english, there wont be that many scandinavians able to answer "no". :laugh: But yes... Most of us speak english fairly well.

"Always" is a very dangerous word to use.... Unless you define "always" as being the next 2-3 years, like most people do in this business of course :laugh:

Coding with MusicDepends heavily on what i code... Lets face it. Not all the coding we do is hard. There are a lot of tedious tasks that we do over and over again. For this kind of coding i can listen to almost any type of music and do it a lot. It is only when i really need to dig into some of the hard stuff that music can be in the way.

Activesync programaticallyI have done something similar once. We made a service that ran on the pc, that transfered some files to/from the mobile. It is very doable. Onne problem though... We needed ActiveSync to establish the network connection to the mobile (it does so automatically when you dock the mobile). We did not sync anything via ActiveSync, but ActiveSync needed to be running. I do not know if you can establish the network connection to the device without ActiveSync :^)

Measuring reaction time of the user.That is the exact class i am using for the timing. It is highly accurate and that class is definetely not the problem. I know from a very accurate soundbased reaction time measuring device, that my reaction times are about twice as fast, and more consistent than the ones i measure using a SoundPlayer, StopWatch and a KeyDown event. I have the feeling that this is because of small delays everywhere in the system (Windows is not a RTOS), but i have no idea what to do about them.

Measuring reaction time of the user.Hi, I want to measure reaction times by playing a sound for the user, and the timing how long it takes for him to press space.... I just cant get it accurate enough. There is to much latency in the sound system, and the many message queues to make this work. I want it to be accurate within <10ms. Can this even be done in Windows using .NET ?? /Jakob
