• How to extract data from a PDF?

  - by Fermin

  Hi, My company receives data from an external company via Excel. We export this into SQL Server to run reports on the data. They are now changing to PDF format, is there a way to reliably port the data from the PDF and insert it into our SQL Server 2008 database? Would this require writing an app or is there an automated way of doing this?

• Bluetooth APIs in Windows/.Net?

  - by cjkarr

  I am in the process of writing a Bluetooth scanner that locates and identifies mobile devices in the local vicinity.

  I'm planning on writing a program for Linux that uses text to speech and speech recognition. What are the best tools/libraries for this? Should I use Windows instead to be able to use better tools? The tools need to be easily callable from a console or C program.

• How to get stack trace of a running process from within a Visual Studio add-in?

  - by Jack

  I am writing a Visual Studio add-in in C# which will run while I am debugging a process in the same Visual Studio window and I need access to that the process' stack trace from within my add-in. I tried putting this code into my add-in but it returns the add-in's stack trace, not the process I am debugging. System.Diagnostics.StackTrace stacktrace = new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace(true); System.Diagnostics.StackFrame stackframe = stacktrace.GetFrame(0); Any help would be appreciated.

• Why would a server not send a SYN/ACK packet in response to a SYN packet

  - by codemonkey

  Lately, we've become aware of a TCP connection issue that is mostly limited to mac and Linux users who browse our websites. From the user perspective, it presents itself as a really long connection time to our websites (11 seconds). We've managed to track down the technical signature of this problem, but can't figure out why it is happening or how to fix it. Basically, what is happening is that the client's machine is sending the SYN packet to establish the TCP connection and the web server receives it, but does not respond with the SYN/ACK packet. After the client has sent many SYN packets, the server finally responds with a SYN/ACK packet and everything is fine for the remainder of the connection. And, of course, the kicker to the problem: it is intermittent and does not happen all the time (though it does happen between 10-30% of the time) We are using Fedora 12 Linux as the OS and Nginx as the web server.

• Why does StackExchange store images in imgur rather than its own servers? [migrated]

  - by martin's

  I am trying to understand the technical (and business) logic behind taking such an approach. Certainly SE isn't short of server or bandwidth resources. I don't think imgur is a CDN, so that can't be the reason. On the one hand one is giving up local control (meaning your files, your hardware) of the content. On the other, you don't have to use your own bandwidth, storage and resources. Then again, you depend on someone else for the reliability and up-time of your service.

• Accessing the project system from a Visual Studio MEF Editor extension

  - by Daniel Plaisted

  I'm writing a Visual Studio editor extension using the VS 2010 SDK RC. I'd like to be able to figure out what the references of the current project are. How do I get access to the project corresponding to the current editor? The documentation on editor extensions doesn't seem to include information on how to access non-editor parts of Visual Studio. I did some searching and it looks like in VS2008 you could write add-ins that would access the project system, but I'm trying to get at this functionality from a MEF editor extension.

• Cross-platform tool for translating and internationalizing Delphi & FreePascal programs

  - by mamcx

  I'm writing a program for both Delphi and Lazarus/FreePascal, so I can also reach customers using Linux or Mac OS X. Is there a cross-platform tool that works in both environments too, so I can add multiple languages? I tried GNU Gettext for Delphi and C++ Builder, but it does not compile in Lazarus for Mac OS X. Is there anything comparable?

• ActionScript black color value is NaN

  - by TheDarkIn1978

  i'm trying to determine if a color has been supplied as an optional argument to a function. in order to determine this, i'm simply writing if(color){...} and supplying NaN if i don't want there to be a color. however, it seems that the color black (0x000000) also equates to NaN. how can i determine if a supplied color number argument is present and black if 0x000000 is passed as the argument?

• Drag and Drop file upload in Silverlight 4?

  - by Parvenu74

  I'm working on re-writing a WinForms application into Silverlight. One use case in the WinForms app allows users to drag TIFF images (of faxes) from Outlook directly onto an "attach an image or fax to this case" control in the WinForms app. Is there a Silverlight 4 control which allows for the same functionality? It's important to realize that saving the file to the local filesystem and then selecting and uploading the file with a standard upload control will not meet the business requirements as outlined in the project.

• Pyglet, how to make the ESCAPE key not close the window?

  - by Bartosz Radaczynski

  I am writing a small sample program and I would like to override the default pyglet's behavioyr of ESC closing the app. I have something to the extent of: window = pyglet.window.Window() @window.event def on_key_press(symbol, modifiers): if symbol == pyglet.window.key.ESCAPE: pass but that does not seem to work.

• Does changing window.location stop execution of javascript?

  - by Aleksander Kmetec

  When writing server-side code you need to explicitly stop execution after sending a "Location: ..." header to the client or your code will continue to execute in the background. But what about when you change window.location in a client-side script? Does this immediately stop execution of the current script or is it up to the programmer to make sure that any code located after this call is not reached?

• Uploading file from file object with PyCurl

  - by Tom

  I'm attempting to upload a file like this: import pycurl c = pycurl.Curl() values = [ ("name", "tom"), ("image", (pycurl.FORM_FILE, "tom.png")) ] c.setopt(c.URL, "http://upload.com/submit") c.setopt(c.HTTPPOST, values) c.perform() c.close() This works fine. However, this only works if the file is local. If I was to fetch the image such that: import urllib2 resp = urllib2.urlopen("http://upload.com/people/tom.png") How would I pass resp.fp as a file object instead of writing it to a file and passing the filename? Is this possible?

• How, why, when and where... creating a schema out of my jaxb annotated classes

  - by ekeren

  I have jaxb annotated classes and I want to unmarshal them and use the setSchema for validation. I have a two questions: Do I have to create the schema at "build time" using ant or can I just ad-hock create them for validation when needed. Where do you put your schema files? is there another reason but validation to create a schema if I prefer writing my class first?

• Looking for Light Time Management Software Suggestions (for Mac)

  - by tmo256

  I'm looking for a simple project management app that performs task scheduling, along the line of Merlin or MS Project, but no where near as robustly. I don't need to deal with other (human) resources, but I work on anything from 3 to 6 different projects at a time. What I'd like is to be able to input deadlines and tasks, and have a schedule suggested to complete them. I do technical work, but I don't think I need anything specifically for software development, especially considering I do plenty of other kinds of things, like graphic design and social media PR. I'd really like this to be dead simple, as simple as possible. Suggestions? OmniPlan, something web-based? Definitely cannot afford anything too extravagant, really looking for something under $200. Thanks for your input!

• Backup Exec 12.5 or 2010? [closed]

  - by Chris Thorpe

  Backup Exec 2010 has just dropped, and I'm about to implement a new BEWS infrastructure, complete with CALs and new central servers. When I specced this up last year, I ignored 2010 and focused on Backup Exec 12.5, since it's a mature product. In previous experience, major released of BE had numerous technical issues and seemed to improve significantly at the first service pack. However, our refresh cycle on the backup infrastructure is slow, the main driver usually being lack of support for some new server type (in this case, ESX has driven our current upgrade need). With this in mind, I'm wondering if Backup Exec 2010 should be my first choice, as it'll last longer under current support than 12.5, which will approach EOL soon. Has anyone got any perspective they could add to this? Right now, I'm leaning towards biting the bullet and going with 2010.

What is happening? Has Visual Studio GONE CRAZY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

• Comprehensive and well maintained wiki syntax Parser for PHP

  - by Rowan

  I'm looking for a comprehensive and well maintained wiki syntax Parser for PHP, does anybody know of one? I can find some really good parsers for markdown and bbcode but am having trouble with finding a decent wiki parser. I prefer markdown myself, but I'm writing post functions for a CMS and I'd like to give end-users a choice. I thought about downloading a copy of MediaWiki and seeing how they do it, thoughts on this as an option?

• Endpoints or URIs for a WCF client test-drive

  - by Xencor

  I am aware of the Amazon.com exposed URIs ... which I need to sign up for and then on I can use them ... roll-up my sleeves and get some WCF Client test-drive coding. What are the other such publicly exposed end points that reflect real or almost real-time services? Any offerings specifically from Microsoft? I am basically looking for writing WCF clients for both WCF and non-WCF services...RESTful ones and even otherwise.

• How does bridged networking work?

  - by agz

  How does bridged networking work? I have looked through the virtualbox manuals but nothing extremely technical came up (It was just a generic gloss over of the topic) How does it assign a different ip to the virtual machine but uses the same network card? Why does this different ip (I found using ip addr under linux) not show up under the "attached devices section" of my router but I can port forward to it? How come if I connect to a password protected wifi network, it does not require me to enter my password? Is this multihoming?

• Hbase / Hadoop Query Help

  - by zechariahs

  I'm working on a project with a friend that will utilize Hbase to store it's data. Are there any good query examples? I seem to be writing a ton of Java code to iterate through lists of RowResult's when, in SQL land, I could write a simple query. Am I missing something? Or is Hbase missing something?
