I really enjoyed browsing Joel's MBA Curriculum reading list. Are there other good lists of recommended books for software developers and software project managers?
Hello,
Is there any way to do dynamic video streaming in flash without using Flash Media Server (FMS) 3.5 as it's a very expensive software but using some open-source software or in any other way.
It will be really helpful if you can provide me the solution as quickly as possible. It's really very urgent.
How do you determine (programatically) if an iPhone/iPod is:
Jail broken
Running a cracked copy of your software
Pinch Media can detect if a phone is jail broken or the software running is cracked, does anyone know how they do this? Are there any libraries?
Hi,
I am currently pursuing my MS in Software Engineering. I am considering the option of doing a part time programme in Industrial Engineering as most of the courses (Operations Research, Accountancy, Business Process etc) are those that I do not have any knowledge in. Is there a requirement in the industry for people with such qualifications?
My long term career goal is to manage software projects that enable clients to increase productivity.
On https://www2.eiffel.com/download/download_info.aspx?id=eiffelstudio&info=false&mirrors=eiffelstudio you can download the IDE "eiffelstudio".
They have GPL as their license but they also specify that "The GPL version is for the purpose of developing open-source software only! If you want to evaluate EiffelStudio for commercial software development, please download our Enterprise Evaluation Edition."
However as far as i know this is directly against the gpl. Can they really specify such restrictions while adhering to the GPL?
As per the trouble shooting guide for VS2010 Load Testing (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vststest/thread/df043823-ffcf-46a4-9e47-1c4b8854ca13), I'm trying to restrict the range of ports used for client-controller communication.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\VisualStudio\10.0\EnterpriseTools\QualityTools\ListenPortRange\PortRangeStart
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\VisualStudio\10.0\EnterpriseTools\QualityTools\ListenPortRange\PortRangeEnd
I've set these keys on the client as described but according to netstat the client is still listening on random ports. The controller is attempting to communicate on the same random ports as the client.
Anyone experienced the same?
The cluster managing software for managing clusters on a windows server 2005 cluster had a checkbox for "allow application to interact with desktop" when creating a generic application resource. This appears to be gone in the management software for server 2008 clusters. Does anyone know where this option, if it still exists, is?
Hi Peeps.
I am building facial recognition software for a certain purpose, however, as a spin-off i would like to use that same software / concept, to automatically recognize me when i sit in front of the PC, and log me in.
recognition is handled.. however, i need to incorporate this into windows, the same way fingerprint logins work.
where can i go to get some more info on the doing this?
Was just wondering if there was any software out there to do this? The storage engine is InnoDB so the foreign keys are in place to connect the tables up in the diagram (if such software even exists).
We have a .Net application that runs as a shell for certain users. We'd like the application to automatically restart when it crashes.
The application is set as the shell here:
HKEY_USERS*User*\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\WinLogon\Shell
I've tried adding an "AutoRestartShell" key with a value of "1", like what exists in:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\WinLogon.
When I kill the application's process for the user (via RDP) the application exits, but never restarts.
Ideas?
We are looking at acquiring Data Mining software to primarily run predictive analysis processes.
How does SQL Server Data Mining solution compares to other solutions like SPSS from IBM?
Since SQL Server DM is included in SQL Server Enterprise license - what would be the justification to spend extra couple 100K to buy separate software just to do DM?
I have a Visual Studio installer that is creating some registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MyApp
but the registry keys it is creating are automatically appearing under Wow6432Node:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MyApp
How do I ignore the Wow6432Node when creating registry keys in my C# code being executed by the msi?
I guess the title says it all.
I am looking at whether Cassandra might be an option for a distributed database store for our server software.
The server software is written in Delphi, but I'm having difficulty locating descriptions of how to access a Cassandra database from Delphi.
Any help & suggestions welcome!
I want to publish some software for different Linux distributions, using the regular Linux packaging formats (rpm, deb, yast, etc). My package will require a click-thru license agreement. Which Linux tools and package formats support a license in the package which is shown to the user before installing the software?
If I develop a unique software using an open source software, do I have all rights to protect my Intellectual Property?
I dont know, if this is the right place to ask this question. But kindly answer
I need software that will rip a site via HTTP. It needs to download the images, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as well as organize it in a file system.
Does anyone know of software that does this? Or would I be better off just writing it myself?
My program is trying to create an key on the
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSCONFIG\startupreg\test\
but instead the key is created on the
HKLM\Wow6432node\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSCONFIG\startupreg\test\
and don't work properly... Why? How can I solve it?
I am working on a huge web-application with hundreds of dependencies (jar files). I want to organise the jars in sensible way as each piece of software comes with its bunch of jar files and when I want to remove or upgrade version of that software it will be easier to do if kept in sub directories.
Problem is that when using a web-server (I'm using tomcat), all libs need to be under WEB-INF/lib folder, you cannot create subdirectories otherwise it doesn't load the jars in subdirectories.
Thanks.

I've been developing some software which uses the libusb-win32 library to interact with some USB hardware I've been developing. Now I'm trying to run the same software on windows 64 but the drivers don't seem to work (understandably).
Are there any alternatives for 64 bit Windows I've overlooked?
I have a table that describes which software versions were installed on a machine at various times:
machine_id::integer, version::text, datefrom::timestamp, dateto::timestamp
I'd like to do a constraint to ensure that no date ranges overlap, i.e. it is not possible to have multiple software versions installed on a machine at the same time.
How can this be achieved in SQL? I am using PostgreSQL v8.4.
I really want to know if I'm missing anything obvious in the software I'm developing.
What User Interface features that you consider important are often missing in most software?
I need a very simple SMTP server running on my computer for notification software that I developed. I tried "Free SMTP SERVER" and "QK SMTP SERVER 3", but for some reason they don't work, they always give me a time out error.
Do you know some good SMTP server software? Thanks.
Hi, there's a website i visit that always has these code giveaways where you get a prize for cracking the code. The code is in a format like this:
QBYQC-Y??T3-W7G4R-QP4HG-2WQPT
and they'll give you a hint such as two letters or a number and a letter. The solution to this is easy, brute-forcing it. However, I need the software that will make my browser repeatedly enter a new combination. What software can I use on Mac (and if not, Windows)?
This question maybe a better fit on The Business of Software forum but despite my post on there, I'm still unable to determine the following: Can I use the Google API to build commercial software? If not how can the people behind Byline charge for their app?
Update: I'm specifically interested in Google's Picasa & Reader APIs
