is there a way to stop windows from going to sleep?
i tried to check if there is a setting for this, but no.
during presentations or discussions, my computer goes to sleep & then i have
to login again.
this is a headache, how can i overcome this issue (win xp prof),
i am willing to write a small .net tool to keep my computer awake if i have
to.

Hi
This is more a Windows forum question, but this is my suggestion:
Go into CONTROL PANEL & open POWER MANAGEMENT options.
Choose 'NEVER' for the monitor/hard drive & system standby, click APPLY &
then click OK
Now, your computer wont switch off your monitor, hard drive & won't go into
sleep mode.
I hope this helps.

When you hit the REPORT link you were told that reporting a post is for SPAM, harrasement and other violations of the Bytes guidelines. 
It not a way to draw attention to your problem because you are impatient.
Next time you do it I'll just delete the threat for not following the rules after you have been warned.

Does anyone know if there is a way to have an event fire when a computer
resumes / wakes up from sleep mode (assuming the app is running before and
after sleep mode is initiated). I am not talking about threading, I mean
sleep mode of the computer hardware like waking up from S2 or S3 ACPI.

I've got an application that, in the main form, Starts up a thread. That
thread consists of an endless loop (a WHILE TRUE loop), at the end of each
iteration is a Sleep() command, so it will sleep for 5 seconds between each
run.
I need this thread to poll for some database changes, and update data on the
form when it does.

Having searched for a way to fetch a window object by name, all I came

"All you have to do is say windowObj = window.open("blah", "name");"
which isn't very useful if you want to fetch information from an

One solution I came up with was quite simple; open the "new" window,
giving you a reference to the object, then use window.history.back() to

Hi, pythoners:
There is a problem I couldn't dispose. I start a thread in the my

When the user give a signal to the main thread (such as click the 'end'
button or close the window), the thread should end it's running. But
how to end the threading when it's sleeping? I set an flag to the
thread, but it doesn't work.
I also thought to put 'time.sleep()' to the main...

Hi All,
I have a timer, if my data queue Q has data, the timer should start
work, if there is no data in Q, the timer should stop.
However, there is an event can fire timer to start.
Should I add a variable to know how many records inside Q ?
Ya, I think so, because timer should use for unknown events, check it
in a period.

Hello all,
I'm using threading for generating video content. The trouble is how to
kill the thread, because there are multiple (simultaneous) owners of a
thread. Ideally, a flag would be set when the reference count of the
thread becomes zero, causing the run() loop to quit. Example:
import threading
import time
import gc

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.

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,...
