I don't understand. Are your volunteers canceling posts from the
teamb.com web site? Or from the news server itself?
We were given cancel rights on the public Borland news server (with
the exception of a few announcement-only read-only groups).

Okay. Well, it's fine if Borland decides they want to grant that
kind of access to their "MVP equivalents". But I just don't see
Microsoft doing that with their MVP program. There are way too many
MVPs, with the MVP qualifications have zero to do with anything that
indicates whether a person would make a good moderator, or would
even want to be one
OK. Borland (and now Codegear) let TeamB choose new members, and we
choose them based on such and other qualities as well.

This article at the BBC reports on what appears to be a genetic algorithm or random search method for finding words that apparently fool bayesian classifiers every time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3458457.stm The author apparently had to include html reporting into the emails to allow his mail client to report back automatically. Of course if he'd used python the whole process of email generation and

We are using HP aCC compiler on a HP Itanium box ( 11.23) We are having some severe performance hits using exception handling ( try/catch ) scenarios. The online aCC documentation says: HP aC++ exception handling has no significant performance impact at compile-time or run-time. We have not found this to be the case at all.

Greetings: Crack open the beer, PEAR DB 1.6.0 is here! (Hey, I'm a bit giddy with excitement that my intense work during the past seven weeks has come to fruition.)

Hello, I am looking for guidance on best practices to incorporate effective and complete error handling in an application written in VB.NET.

I do not understand the error handling of SQL Server here. Any error in bulk insert seems to halt the current T-SQL statement entirely, rendering it impossible to log an error. The first statement below executes as expected, and were I to replace "print" with something meaningful I could do some useful error handling. The second statement just seems to totally bail out after the error, preventing me from doing any useful error handling....

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
