I’ve run into the problem a few times now: How to pre-authenticate .NET WebRequest calls doing an HTTP call to the server – essentially send authentication credentials on the very first request instead of waiting for a server challenge first? At first glance this sound like it should be easy:…

Man I can't believe this. I'm still mucking around with OFX servers and it drives me absolutely crazy how some these servers are just so unbelievably misconfigured. I've recently hit three different 3 major brokerages which fail HTTP validation with bad or corrupt certificates at least according to…

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions…

I’ve written quite a bit about Visual FoxPro interoperating with .NET in the past both for ASP.NET interacting with Visual FoxPro COM objects as well as Visual FoxPro calling into .NET code via COM Interop. COM Interop with Visual FoxPro has a number of problems but one of them at least got a lot…

So if I’m working in a folder called c:\temp\templates\ and I want to find a relative path for c:\temp\templates\subdir\test.txt I want to receive back subdir\test…

I have this code for a arraylist of entities.
All the entities use the same random and so all of them move in the same direction. How can I change it so it generates a new random number for each entity?
public void moveFemale() {
for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++){
random = rand.nextInt(99);

I did this to test the randomness of randint:
>>> from random import randint
>>>
>>> uniques = []
>>> for i in range(4500): # You can see I optimistic.
... x = randint(500, 5000)
... if x in uniques:
... raise Exception('We duped ' + str(x) + '…

I've read about it on a message board - Random class isn't really random. It is created with predictable fashion using a mathematical formula.
Is it really true? If so, Random isn't really random??

#include <fstream>
#include <ctime>
