Come on everybody - lets piss our pants with excitment about *text files*

Come on everybody - lets piss our pants with excitment about *text
files*

I am so fucking sick of the hype in this industry. How on earth did
everyone get fooled into being excited about XML. Its a fucking text
file that holds data for christ sake - BORING !!!!

I wonder if 10 years ago every on in computing got in a gay frenzy
about CSV files? Why not, they are the same thing as far as I am
concerned.

This industry is pathetic. Every time I look at news some silly, self
important little fuck has created some new stupid *technology* (yeah
right), that begins with the letter X.

And then came "Web Services" - what a joke. Great idea - if you can
find a useful application for it !

One thing you can rest assured of - the new thing will do "what you
could do before" but in "a different way".

Uhh, maybe because we can actually use it? When was the requirement
introduced that said .Net had to be exciting, exactly?

BTW, if you are sick of it, get another job. I'm sure a person of your
skill and talent would have no problem finding an exciting career in
either the food-services or housekeeping industries. You get to wear a
paper hat and name tag and everything!

If you actually had a job 10 years ago where you were tasked with
moving data from one system or app to another, you would understand.

So what, just freeze all changes in technology circa 1996? Do you
actually have a point?

See post on how you need to get a job.

Please describe how you were producing and consuming data for a wide
audience across the internet in an industry standard format 10 years
ago?

That's what I thought.

No backwards compatibilty. Now they plan to remove VB from it.

Yeah, I am getting bored of the word tag though, I would rather wear a
comma.

Yeah, I do. STOP THE HYPE.

Everyone learns it, no-one uses it. Like lemmings jumping off a cliff,
pathetic actually.

CSV - Its the same thing without the bloat.

That's what I thought.
Try harder.

I have the following function which generates MD5 hashes for files on a local and remote server. The remote server has a little applet that runs from inetd and generates an MD5 hash given the file name. The problem is that it takes 2+ minutes to generate the MD5 hash, so this function takes about 5 minutes every time it is called. Since the first MD5 hash is generated on a remote machine, the local machine does nothing but wait for...

Hello, I really admire how the experts that roam clc quickly come up with specific references to parts of C standard documentation. It beats textbooks anyday because it leaves everyone with less doubt. My question is, how do you people do it? Do most of you have hardcopy versions of the standards or browse online versions? Are most of you already familiar with the language standards enough to quickly find what's needed (much like an...

I haven't delved into the beast that is Vista from a programming standpoint yet. But, if the blog at http://west-wind.com/WebLog/posts/4983.aspx is any indication of what we're in for.....I say we all refuse to deploy this monstrosity and make Redmond get it right. There is NO WAY people are going to go for a system this locked down. Never....ever........ever!

How do I get disk cleanup to stop hassling me every five minutes? I have a storage drive which is DELIBERATELY full so that my C drive is empty. It still has over 450mb free, yet every five minutes I get told I need to clean my drive. I DON'T WANT TO. So how do I tell this stupid program to piss off for good?

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,...
