You "lousy ISP" should have had someone on staff who could have
performed this test just as easily... Heck... unless they are running
servers dedicated to just this group, a post to a VALID TEST GROUP
would have been sufficient to verify that they have connectivity to
send posts... and receiving new posts from any group should validate
that they are known to others.

The only way in which this group might need individual testing would
be if the ISP peers to another news-server that does NOT carry this
group. And THAT status should be available by checking the list of
active groups on their peer -- even Leafnode can identify "no such
group" when contacting an upstream server.

There has been a number of threads in this newsgroup concerning OOP and PHP. Usually people just debate on which language is more (or less) OOP than others. The merit of OOP in the web-programming context is rarely addressed. So let me pose this question: Are websites built based on OOP principles inherently less stable than those built "procedurally?" By "less stable" I mean stability for the same amount of programming effort. I'm...

I'm a newbie to Apache. This week I installed my first Apache 2.0 server, and it's working fine. I then installed PHP. When I ran the PHP test file ("test.php"), the actual text contents of the file came up in the browser: ---------------- <?php phpinfo(); ?> ----------------

hello, sorry about the repost - I've been posting to several groups and I've decided it's better to make a single repost to all of them rather than an extra post in each. I've been trying to work out why I can't get the image maps to work in IE6 on a page I'm working on (which is now working in firefox). I've written the page below as a test case. It's now refusing to work in Firefox either, and I can't see anything wrong with it so...

Hi, I previously asked for suggestions on teaching testing in C++. Based on some of the replies I received I decided that best way to proceed would be to teach the students how they might write their own unit test framework, and then in a lab session see if I can get them to write their own. To give them an example I've created the following UTF class (with a simple test program following). I would welcome and suggestions on how anybody...

Unit testing is an integral component of both "formal" and "agile" models of development. Alas, it involves a significant amount of tedious labor. There are test automation tools out there but from what limited exposure I've had, they are pricey, reasonably buggy, and require compiler/target adaptation. Out of my frustration with two out of two of them came my own. Its instrumentation approach is based solely on profound abuse of the C

I was wonder if there is any protocol or suggestions on how to setup unit testing projects in large solution??? If you have a large solution of say 50 projects and add a project for every unit test it could get overwhelming - is there some standards on how to set this up??? Has anyone integrated this into Continuous Integration ???

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...

Overview: 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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
