Is there a way to develop iPhone applications on Windows? I really don't want to get yet another machine.
There is a project on http://code.google.com/p/winchain/wiki/HowToUse that seemed to work with iPhone 1.0, but had limited success with iPhone 2.0, plus it requires all the cygwin insanity.
Is there anything else, or do I have to buy a mac?
I installed emacs 23.3.1 in c:/emacs-23.3.
Following the hints in this page, I updated the site-start.el to set HOME environment variable.
(setenv "HOME" "c:/users/USER/emacs")
And I made c:/users/USER/.emacs (like I did in unix/mac) to write the code for using slime, but it doesn't seem to start slime correctly.
Is this a correct way of setting emacs in Windows 7? Where do I put the .emacs file?
From cmd on windows, you can stype "start filename" and an action will be taken based on the type of the file. EXEs will launch, JPEGs will have an associated file viewer opened, etc..
Is there a way to do this on Linux / Ubuntu?
I need a recommendation of a free tool (even for a trial) for detecting memory leaks in C++ under Windows (Visual Studio 2005).
I've looked in the net, but I would prefer a recommendation.

Hi,
I am looking for a Windows graphical utility for performing HTTP operations.
For example, I want to be able to say things like:

Does anyone know a good piece of software for doing this?
Does anyone know a Library which provides a Thread.sleep() for Java which has an error not higher than 1-2 Millisecond?
I tried a mixture of Sleep, error measurement and BusyWait but I don't get this reliable on different windows machines.
It can be a native implementation if the implementation is available for Linux and MacOS too.
EDIT
The link Nick provided ( http://blogs.sun.com/dholmes/entry/inside_the_hotspot_vm_clocks ) is a really good resource to understand the issues all kinds of timers/sleeps/clocks java has.

Hello,
a relative of mine has a problem. She's working at a company, using Windows 7 and can't set a password because if she's not there her boss might want to use some of her data, but she has suspicions that there is a colleague who spies on her files, because there is no password set for her computer. Does anybody know how can somebody view some kind of history of when was the computer turned on before and what files were opened/runned?
Thanksin advance for your answers.
Hi! Im trying to call some windows forms code (like setting label.visible = true in some event code, everything compiles ok, but form does not react to change! What could be the problem?

timerNewCall.Enabled = true;
code : http://pastebin.com/gV28PN4P
also other code did not work, until i reordered some of if (order is not important but it did not work otherwise... )
I heard that Windows 7 restricts access to its registry, so that applications cannot write directly to it. Is this so? I am developing an application in C#, and I would like to be able to save things such as port settings, last file used, etc. between sessions. Is the registry still a good option, or is there another preferred means of doing this now? Thanks.
I know Windows close kernel handles when an application crashes, but if I want to wait on this event, can I be sure it will happen in milisec or it might take a while? I would like to trigger a new function the moment one application is crashed and I'm checking if this handle is NULL but it seems like I can't get a NULL value in this case.
I'm creating my first Windows Phone 7 application, and I'm struggling to find an autocomplete textbox. Is there an easy way to add one to the toolbox? Or do I need to create my own control?
Hi, there.
The question is how to make the similar thing like symlink in windows like in *nix. It's really hard to write whole path to the file in console (even using [tab], it's not the way if you need to change language). Adding everything in PATH is tiring too. It'll be great to make a symlink running one command.
Actually I'm looking for console app.
Hi,
I am looking for some frameworks that can be used to collect usage information for Windows desktop application and analyze it. For example, I would like to be able to answer questions like (a) how many times do people use this application in a day (b) which are their favorite menu items, etc.
I looked briefly at Google Analytics and Omniture SiteCatalyst but they seem to work only on web applications.
Thanks

Is there a way do do dynamic elasticity in Windows Azure? If my workers begin to get overloaded, or queues start to get too full, or too many workers have no work to do, is there a way to dynamically add or remove workers through code or is that just done manually (requires human intervention) right now? Does anyone know of any plans to add that if its not currently available?
