Hi all, I am quite aware of the working of the thread synchronisation objects like, event, mutex, Critical Section, semaphore...etc... I know each of it's working individually, but can anybody let me know, 1)what is the advantage ,disadvantage over other.. 2)when each of the one is best to use.. I had check out various sources to find this info...But I am not convinced nor it explains me only the concepts... Thanks a lot, Shiva P

I don't see any problem with the shades...they don't make reading difficult... Shades do come in Plain transparent glass which just act as Radiation filters.. But for any day, natural treatment is best... for most best result, try both... :-) Shiva P

Hi, If you are very much worried on how you are going to lookk... then try out these options...and then decide whether you need to go for it or not.. 1) Hang up a spectacles for your PC 's Monitor....Shades are available for computer monitors which prevent direct radiation from PC Monitors... 2) Wake up in Morning, drink 1 1/2 to 2 glass of pure water..try out these for somedays.. all the best...

Hi all, What is very important to get through an interview for software engineer post..especially in system software field... Can somebody tell me more on the best way for preparing which would definitely yeild success..

Hi Friends, I haven't tried VC++.Net till now..but out of curiosity i would like to know, what would be the significant difference in vc++.net over vc++6.0 I am basically a system programmer mainly use VC++ for creating DLL's and test applications to test the hardware...Can anybody throw light how vc++.net has the compatibility ratio with the vc++6.0 is concerned in various domains such as: System software( accessing file, device, doing file operations,multithreading, synchronisation) Data base access Com applications and any others.. Thanks, Shiva P

Hi all, Being a software professional over a couple of years mainly into Windows Driver development, worked little on linux appln development too.. now i need to develop an embedded systems software based on linux.... so one way, i can think the right chance to take a break into linux world and as far as India is concerned, there's a hipe started into linux system software field, I feel.. or the other way, I think, it's better to explore more into windows device drivers and other complex application development on windows... Being at such experienced level, not good to have a dilema in choosing a field.. Don't know how to convince myself.. I would be happy to see some matured comments on how to wisely choose and stay in one of two greener pastures... Thanks,:) Shiva P

Hi, Not sure how it can be done from an appln, but if u writing the driver for your USB device, and in the IRP_MN_QUERY_CAPABILITIES handler, if u set the following flag, get the pointer to the current IRP and in that, stack->Parameters.DeviceCapabilities.Capabilities->SurpriseRemovalOK = TRUE; U will not get the Unsafe removal dialog.. regds, Shiva P

As a kernel programmer, there are lot of advancement done in the pnp and power management part of the OS, which is ideal for new addition of devices.. Also, it gives less number of crashes compared to win2k and quite stable.. Always the latest should be better than the earlier one.. this is what everyone aims at when both are available at same price.. regds, Shiva P

Not really that ur search is bad..or the page do exsist for the pins.. http://wwww.ges.cz/sheet/t/tda8215b.pdf visit this page to get the data sheet, which has pin description.. things is u would got vertically & horizantally deflected and not letting the scanning trace at one point..on the screen.. U can get some other good user group for h/w details, like google groups.. Have fun, bye, ShivaP

In CP, we have people from Application programming , as well as user mode system programming.. in terms of the following which field would u rank better.. - Availability of job - level of knowledge required to enter the field - Salary being paid - Job satisfaction - competition With respect to work performance with other workers.. - satisfaction - learning curve - last,but not least, getting a good girl friend..:)

fortunately, many of us are out of this loop.. the chicken egg problem may also lead to a cock(the male counterpart of hen)... there the loop breaks up..:)

:confusedHi all, which come first work experience or job.. if u want to get a job, u need work experience in today's s/w companies.. if u want work experience , U need to get a job first.. so which one..:confused: chicken egg problem ;),pls don't try to write a complex algorithm for this..

Hi Nish, if u have win2k ddk(ntddk) ,there u can find a sample at the following directory. root\ntddk\src\kernel\parclass\debug.c this file debug.c has a sample on how to create a file from the kernel device driver..u can compare u r program with this and check out where u r going out of wrong.. regards, shiv:)
