Our IT guys are on a vendetta against MS Access (and Lotus Notes but they've won that fight). What I can't understand is, what's the problem? Why does IT hate MS Access so much. I have tried to find out who it is that actually wants to get rid of it, but I can't find anyone who will admit to trying to get rid of it. Nevertheless, I'm...

Someone made the statement in a newsgroup that most C++ programmers use smart pointers. His actual phrase was "most of us" but I really don't think that most C++ programmers use smart pointers, but I just don't know. I don't like them because I don't trust them. I use new and delete on pure pointers instead. Do you use smart pointers?

i = i++; The gcc gives out a warning on this line of code, saying "warning: operation on `i' may be undefined". But I think, at the end of the execution of the statement, the variable i is eventually increased by one, am I right?

Company thought DB2 will be better than Oracle. The bottom line is when you do select, the system crash. I think it may take 4-5 years for DB2 to reach Oracle standard. Peter

Hi group, I encoutered page validation error, but I don't know a way around. The page has the following doctype: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> Some hyperlinks need to open to a new window, so I used the (wrong) target="" attribute.

I want to help teach to a minority group in Milwaukee, so I want to create a dictionary program that translates a sentence (like a homework problem or teacher instructions), from English into Hmong. I have one Idea, and that is to have an English text file of all the A-words, then a Hmong text file of the proper translations. Each text file...

Howdy all, How can a (user-defined) class ensure that its instances are immutable, like an int or a tuple, without inheriting from those types? What caveats should be observed in making immutable instances? -- \ "Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence." -- |

Ok, the answer is easy: For historical reasons - built-in sets exist only since Python 2.4. Anyway, I was thinking about whether it would be possible and desirable to change the old behavior in future Python versions and let dict.keys() and dict.values() both return sets instead of lists. If d is a dict, code like: for x in d.keys():

Unfortunately with Delphi 2007 it can't be done because it does not support operating overloading for classes, or record inheritance (records do have operator overloading) The idea is to write a generic integer class with derived integer classess for 8 bit, 16...

Hello, World! Reading this group for some time I came to the conclusion that people here are split into several fractions regarding size_t, including, but not limited to, * size_t is the right thing to use for every var that holds the number of or size in bytes of things. * size_t should only be used when dealing with library functions.
