A question to those of you who design sites...
What is a good online resource for getting legal disclaimers and
privacy policies for a web site?
...and are they necessary? Can I just copy-n-paste from another site?
I'm trying to find out what i can here before spending a heap of cash
on a lawyer (if i even need one)
Thanks.

For a privacy policy, you really need to spend some time writing down
what needs to be in your privacy policy. For example, are you going to
track visitors in server logs? Then that has to be disclosed. Are you
going to use session cookies, and how are they being used? If there is
some sort of dispute, how does the user make the dispute? http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P/ and http://www.truste.org/about/securityguidelines.php are good places to
start. IBM has a policy generator that guides you through it
<http://www.alphaworks. ibm.com/tech/p3peditor>.
With both disclaimers and privacy statements, you should have an attorney
look over what you have for any glaring errors or omissions.

An "average" website doesn't need a disclaimer. If you do need one, then
you need to talk to someone who understands the particular situation
you're dealing with.
Don't disclaim too much. Don't prohibit too much. If you ban something
on a BBS, then you expose yourself to _increased_ risk of legal
liability, if you can't actually achieve this (such as not having the
staff time to remove a libellous comment as quickly as a litigious
curmudgeon would like). Don't claim to do things you can't actually
deliver on.
For copyright issues, take a look at Creative Commons.
You may well need to look at COPPA compliance too.
and privacy policies for a web site?
Look at P3P, and the automatic on-line generators. These will ask you
some ticky-box questions, then generate both a machine-readable and a
human-readable set of boilerplate. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I have a string.
This string is to be used as a path for a new file.
I would like to check if this string *could be* a valid file name,
*before* I try to create the file itself.
In other words, I would like to know whether some string violates the
underlying OS's policies (or maybe some more restriced policies, but
portable) considering file paths.

Greetings,
I need assistance in the following area please.
I'm trying to search thought the WHOLE active directory to find all

creator of these policies.
I then take this information and write it to a sql database, thus
allowing me to keep track of what is going on in "my" network.

I'm trying to port some C++ code from MS Visual Studio 6.0 to a version of
Code Composer Studio for an embedded application.
This code compiles under Visual Studio, and lets the program reference x, y,
and z. Under a Code Composer Studio compiler, the compiler warns: "this
declaration doesn't declare anything", then gives errors for all subsequent
references to x, y, and z.

I was just thinking about this, specifically wondering if there's any
features that the C specification currently lacks, and which may be
included in some future standardization.
Of course, I speak only of features in the spirit of C; something like
object-orientation, though a nice feature, does not belong in C.
Something like being able to #define a #define would be very handy,
though, e.g:

Reading about policies in Andrei Alexandrescu's Modern C++
Design, I was wondering about the complexity of policies.
It there a general recommendation that these policies should be
relatively small and simple (compare Create policy in the above
book) or can they be arbitrarily complex? For instance would it
make sense to define a FileParser policy which states how a file
should be parsed? Or should that be deduced further to smaller...

Below is a class that is suppose to represent a segment of memory or a

Can anyone tell me the best way to find out the size of a struct, without
using the sizeof function? I'm currently thinking of:
struct foo s;
int size_of_foo = (char *)&s - (char *)s;
but is there a more elegant way (e.g. requiring no memory).
Thanks in advance!

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:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
