When I run my Win32 application the Windows language bar (which is visible in all other applications) disappears after about 5 seconds. It reappears if I quit my application or alt-tab to a different application. If I alt-tab back into my application, it disappears again after five seconds. The s...
I have a weird issue that the IME is invisible in the task bar when the focus is in a window.
In original code, this window is not permitted to associate with IME and we call "ImmAssociateContext(m_hWnd, NULL)" in the WM_CREATE handler.
Now there is new requirement that we need to permit the user...
updated packages are not yet available for Ubuntu 14.04.. hmmm
technically JMG could exploit that from puppy to gain access to the host :P
but he wouldn't.... would he?
btw @Bob, I fixed my problem with Windows Update not working. Apparently, either BITS implicitly, but not explicitly, depends on Network List Service, but I disabled that when I was tethering directly to my PC over USB because the Network Connections panel would freeze up for long periods of time otherwise.
@Bob Attempting to start the Background Intelligent Transfer Service, um, service, was failing with an obscure error code. When I googled it, one of the first hits was someone complaining on MS Answers about getting that error code when they disable the Network List Service.
@Bob In the event viewer, all it said was "BITS threw this error code and I don't know what it is! 80071238" (or whatever the number was; that's not it)
usually, when one service depends on another, it's listed as an explicit dependency, so that starting one service will start the other automatically
however, Network List is not a dependency of BITS in the service properties
but if you disable Network List, BITS breaks, and by extension, Windows Update breaks.
this is from Win7, but the concept is the same
Nowhere in that list is the Network List Service. It almost seems like a bug.
BITS literally can't even start with NLS disabled. I'm amazed that all the automatic whiz-bang troubleshooting stuff isn't able to check for NLS being disabled and either recommend a fix, or fix it, by enabling the service.
I don't think it's unreasonable to disable the Network List Service, since the main thing that uses it, the Network Connections panel, can gracefully handle it being disabled (it just displays a message like, "The service required for this functionality is disabled.")
And disabling that service is basically a workaround for a bug in the RNDIS stack somewhere
I turned it back on and am going to leave it on because now I tether via Ethernet to my always-on NUC running Mint, so I don't have the problem anymore with NLS
I was wondering if someone could tell me what I did wrong. I saw that displaying jQuery in the Firefox inspector has been supported for almost a year now, but when I inspect a button with jQuery attached to it, it still looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/ryx7s43.png
@Bob Where do I begin? It's all over the map. Driving down 695, I can sometimes pull in 50 Mbps, because I go up a hill and there's a major tower right there within line of sight. At home during prime time, I struggle to get 10 Mbps (though, it IS more or less symmetrical, thankfully). At home at 3-4 AM local time, I can get double that, but still nothing close to 50 Mbps (tower isn't line of sight).
At work I am fortunate if I get 0.5 Mbps down, 0.1 Mbps up.
Also, if I hold the phone up above my monitors and orient it just right, I can bump my speeds up by another 5 Mbps or so (at the cost of arm pain).
From my tests driving down the road in ideal conditions, I think I'm capable of drawing up to 50 Mbps down, 30 Mbps up from the towers, if carrier aggregation is in effect and there's no saturation on the tower and the signal strength is ideal.
At home during prime time, I lose a little due to mild tower saturation and a little because the signal is attenuated / higher noise ceiling.
At home late at night, the saturation problem goes away.
At work, I think the tower is ridiculously saturated (high population density, it's horrible even out in the parking lot) and I have horrible signal because I'm in a basement.
@Ariane What are you expecting the inspector to display? What is the extent of the jQuery support in Firefox Inspector? I'm honestly not clear on the feature or what it's supposed to do. Have you come across any screenshots online about this that show it working "properly"?
What I would suggest is that you test some other sites that also use jQuery and compare. Better yet, look on the Mozilla Wiki for documentation on the Inspector, and see if they link you to a site that uses jQuery that's a "representative example" of a site that can integrate with the feature.
Then work backwards to identify differences in the use of jQuery on your site, vs. on that representative example, once you get Inspector working in your Firefox with the sample.
Could be a version problem. Could be the way that jQuery is initialized on your site. Etc.
@Ariane hmm - ok, can you click the "ev" next to the html/body/div element? the other lines that were displaying in my first screenshot are from my Firefox extensions (uBlock and LastPass)
see my most recent screenshot
inspect element on the "div" in the "Result" box, then go down past the html/body to the internal "div".
I'll just pin it on how crappy this app is. Seriously, this might be the most unpleasant thing I've ever had to work on
Some ranting: To add a single product type, I needed to edit 18 files. Eighteen. Plus manually add a row to the MySQL DB. And it's still not working. And I can't find why because somehow stuff happens when I click a button that has no identifyable class and doesn't submit anything.
Nope. I'm trying to add features and debug something I don't understand, that was visibly made by piling a huge number of code band-aids, etc. I won't complain because if not for this contract I wouldn't have work, but still, I really wish the programmer who made this made it in a way that other people would understand it. Or at least left some instructions.
Code Review is not graduated (Note: WIP)
This site has become the pity-site - the site that is graduated, but is not graduated, it's big, but not big enough, it's a beta site, but it's too busy to fit with the beta logic.
The biggest issue for Code Review is uncertainty. We can't attract more a...
I'll start off by addressing the elephant in the room. It's been the better part of a year since the announcement that Code Review was graduating. In all those months, there haven't been any visible indications of change from us on the team. There are a few reasons for that, but they all come dow...
@Bob That woudl be if I knew where the function is... To add a breakpoint you need to go to the actual code file and know at which line to stop. But this app has its code all over the place.
If you include all regions loosely defined as 'Sydney', well, the population density is probably lower than some rural areas.
@HackToHell I believe they're mostly targeting the more remote areas first. Partially because the current gov believes ADSL speeds are "enough", such that there's a good chance we'll never get fibre.
@DragonLord the entire point was a gov-planned infrastructure project so the individual does not have to bear the costs
a large infra project like this still works out cheaper than running each line one at a time
and it's great future-proofing for new technologies
assuming they don't gimp it like they did here
the problem with VDSL2 last-mile is the last-mile wiring is atrocious in many places
over half a century old
our one would drop even a basic ADSL connection after rain, though that was fixed by calling a tech out to change to a different pair from node to house
still, shows the poor state of the wiring in general
@DragonLord sounds like it'll be a big boost for you
And @JourneymanGeek is a dog. Westie-Schnauzer (slammed together, "wauzer").
Also, never ask Bob what the fox says.
Also, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing depends on whether you're willing to participate in our conversations about bad questions, headphones, GPUs, headphones, spam, headphones, computers, smartphones, headphones, and headphones. It's pretty important to be able to talk about headphones.
Obligatory link in case you've never discovered what the fox says.

I un-deleted this thread to hopefully help someone else.
I figured out a way around this. Instead of using a vba code to convert a selected range to html, i went an alternate route using formulas and one single vba code.
First thing i did was make a Sheet5, then i took the raw ...
There is not a truly private chat on the Stack Exchange chat system. All chatrooms can be viewed by the general public. It's kind of a policy they have.
There are private chats elsewhere, of course, but not here.
PMing would be the same as private chats, and it, also, does not exist. The closest thing we have to that, is that (I believe) site Moderators may email individual users. I am not a Moderator, though.
If it's something you're OK with a few people seeing but not to be cached for eternity in Google's cache, you can just delete your post up to 2 minutes after you ask it, and it won't get cached.
When you say @Bob is a fox, @JourneymanGeek is a dog, and you are a cat, did you mean as in RPing? Spiritually? Not a big deal in my opinion no matter in what way you meant it. I'm just curious, that's all. ;)
And if it's none of my business, you can say that too :)
We don't seriously roleplay, and it's almost certainly not spiritual, but we do it kind of in jest. I've changed from being a cat to other things on occasion, but predominantly my gravatar has always been some kind of a cat. Bob was a cat at one point, too, but has mainly been a fox. JourneymanGeek, well... his pet dog in real life is a wauzer, so he takes actual pics of his dog and makes them his avatar.
We often joke about JourneymanGeek having difficulty typing with those paws, etc. So it kinda sprung from that.
BTW, here's a pic I whipped up a few years ago with the gravatars of some of our regulars replacing characters in the classic game Mortal Kombat, to represent our then "cat vs dog" rivalry:
That was me (top left cat) and HackToHell (bottom left cat) vs. JourneymanGeek (top right dog) and Bob (bottom right fox - hey, foxes are canids too!)
As for setting colors in hex, I bet you'd have to have a VBA macro or .NET addin to support it...
Sub foo()
Dim inp As String
inp = "f0a1cb"
Dim c As Range
Set c = Cells(1, 1)
Dim i As Interior
Set i = c.Interior
i.Color = RGB(CInt("&H" & Left(inp, 2)), CInt("&H" & Mid(inp, 3, 2)), CInt("&H" & Right(inp, 2)))
End Sub
turn on Developer in the Ribbon, then go to Visual Basic, then paste that in, then expand it to accept the hex as input, maybe have an inputbox, then bind it to a macro hotkey.. not too horrible :)
@snipe You keep explaining an XY problem. Computers suck and i hate them, therefore how do i get them to cooperate. wheras the real problem is My name is john conner and all computers must die.
And that isnt going to work here at all.

Environment: Visual Studio 2015 RTM. (I haven't tried older versions.)
