    What to virtualize?

    So I did a bit of reading on hyper-v and found this: http://keznews.com/4085_Microsoft’s_Hyper-V_puts_VMWare_and_Linux_on_notice which (at the bottom) says that Vista isn't happy as a VM because it doesn't work with the intigration tools. Is that still the case? If so it seems like I...

    What to virtualize?

    One of my grand plans for this rig is going to be installing visual studio and my main projects to a ramdisk. I expect to see a major performance boost (especially when compiling and unit testing), but to do it right requires 8gb of ram (two for the host OS two for the guest and four for the...

    What to virtualize?

    Hello all. It's been just about a year since I've been around these parts (thanks for not nuking my account!) so if my manerisms are a bit dated please just slap me around a bit. So I'm thinking about building a new everything box for work and play. Right now I'm a professional .NET 2/3.5...

    Automated key holding

    Hello all, I'm trying to find some software mechanism by which I can convince windows that I'm holding down a key on the keyboard (as opposed to pressing it over and over again quickly) so that I can more accurately test my games (current automation schemes just end up pushing the button over...

    Using FXRuby in Dapper woes

    Would anyone here mind walking me through getting FXRuby from where it is now to a state where I can run the example scripts that it comes with? I'm still not quite to the level of linux pwnership where I have an intuitive sense of what I need to do next. So far, I have (AFIAK) installed...

    16 copies of OneNote

    Good question, I'm not up on the legalities of it. The practical answer is, nobody really cares given the scale and the one-time nature. I realize the judge probably wouldn't see it that way, but it might work to claim that they cannot be resold if they were never sold in the first place...

    16 copies of OneNote

    Hello all, I was just given 16 copies of M$ OneNote 2003 (NFR). I would like to get rid of them. I'm thinking $20 shipped (each), or $275+shipping for the lot. They're all in new condition, but they don't come with packaging or documentation, just a sealed M$ cardboard sleeve with an unused...

    Eclipse is making me miffed

    I'm having a severely hard time getting eclipse to generate a webservice stub, even given a tutorial, the wizard simply doesn't work. Its to the point where I'm considering switching environments altogether. So is there a good, free, Java IDE that will reliably do webservice work? Preferably...

    How much for contract programming?

    Thanks for the info, I'll definately pick up a book. You have raised another question though, and this may or may not be covered in the book I don't yet have; is it better to have one strategically thinking person, or should I make a group endeavor out of the plan-making process? It's nice...

    How much for contract programming?

    Largest app: not all that impressive. I've written a few games for gits and shiggles and at my last job I was suckered into writing their invoice tracking system (but it was in PHP :o ), I would say less than five thousand lines of code total for any one project, but I never actually...

    How much for contract programming?

    The very long term goal for the project is mission critical, I make no bones that I and my team are going to start out as anything but noobies... and it's not zero experience, I've been programming for 6 months now (professionally, I've been screwing around with code for 3-4 years now), but this...

    How much for contract programming?

    You're right on the money, so to speak. As it's currently set up $20/hour is substancially more than I'm set to be making, and it is the only money changing hands. Yeah, I hadn't considered that, I was still psyched to have a real programming job. The latter is far closer to the case...

    How much for contract programming?

    I'm about to start work as a contract programmer, the specifics of the project are NDA'd, but I can tell you that I'm going to be manging and leading a small team of programmers to write real estate investment software, that will ultimately grow to a mission critical resource (if I do a good job...

    I tried Exim4 yesterday, fought with it all day, came up with nothing. Here's what it comes down to, I need IMAP access POP3 access and encryption all over, if you can help me get it I'll use whatever technology you suggest.
