Obfuscating your assemblies will ensure that it is difficult (if not impossible) to reverse-engineer your compiled assemblies. Obfuscators use techniques like symbol renaming, string encryption, control flow obfuscation to try to obfuscate the meaning of the original code. In some cases, it is even possible to totally ...

In the end it will always be possible to reverse engineer the code. Obfuscation can help but your code will never completely be protected. The only way to fully protect the code is by not deploying it but instead keeping it on a server.

I have thermoelectric modules and set it in series, then I connected to a DC to DC step up (CN6009) to enhance the voltage. Then I connected to my phone with usb charger to try charge with it, but the voltage suddenly drops. Should I change the step up or increase the amount of the module?

You've got a couple of things going on that are causing your problems: 1. The output resistance of [TEG modules](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_generator#Practical_limitations) is fairly high. They act like a battery with a big resistor in series. 2. By boosting the voltage, you increase the needed curre...
I think that peltier devices act as current sources up to some maximum voltage. If you demand more current than the devices supply, the voltage will drop. Measure the current produced by one device and then calculate the number of peltier devices you need to deliver the target current into your boost converter.

Had 0xF1 and 0x69 errors on our Epson. Solved 0xF1 by discovering the lever on the ink carriage was open and required closing, then rebooting the machine. 0x69 was solved by re-seating the ink cartridges. Not a good start for a brand new printer.

Some options: * split up the images across multiple pages * use a 'lazy load' script that will only request images as they come into the viewport * use AJAX to request images as needed via a user action * leverage external hosting of the images (flickr, etc) to split the server requests amongst different servers.
If you're displaying dozens of images on one page, I would consider just showing small images / thumbnails that get enlarged when the visitor clicks on them.

It is not technically possible with ASP.NET 4.0. ASP.NET certainly needs the upgrade in order to handle any HTML5-producing code behind or 'plug-ins.' I second the notion of ASP.NET MVC. Also it seems you are comparing a car to gasoline when you ask the advantages of HTML5 over ASPX.

No, and in my experience you shouldn't rely on anyone trying to give you compiled resources. For the CPU miner you would need at least "automake libcurl4-openssl-dev make", those are the names for Ubuntu. For the GPU miner if you are using R9 cards you can use these instructions. <https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comme...
For **CPU** Miner on linux, you can check Yam releases here: <https://mega.nz/#F!UlkU0RyR!E8n4CFkqVu0WoOnsJnQkSg> And for **GPU** releases, you could try Claymore v9.1, available here: <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B69wv2iqszefdkVDNkxla3BCZHc> Note: Both are **closed source**.

This has happened to me when the css is cached and out of date. Your browser cannot detect that the css file has changed, and doesn't bother reloading it. Could it be that the CSS showed up the second time, not because you redeployed, but because your browsers were refreshed?

Rub the area with 000 or 0000 steel wool to bring back some subtle texture. It won't be possibly lumpy or uneven like paint, and you can easily texture the affected area only. This is a far cheaper solution in terms of money and time than paint.

I had same problem and my solution was related with no space in disk for deployment. ps.: database disk.
I had same problem and i tried whatever was suggested in the blog. Like uninstall solution etc. Then I did a restart of system. And opened a new solution and tired to deploy. But this time the error was very clear, I got a message it was due to increase in database size. After reducing deployment worked correctly.

However, outside in the sun, the legibility of my laptop screen is greatly reduced when compared to inside the house/office, even when I maximize the display's brightness. Are ther...

I forgot where I saw/heard this tip, but I'm often using a [cardboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardboard) box slightly larger than the laptop to provide shade on the display. At least for me, this makes it more legible. An additional benefit is that this also reduces the amount of sunlight on the laptop, which ke...
The cardboard box suggested by Glorfindel, and improved upon by Stan's comment, is fantastic. I have another suggestion that can be used with the box or by itself. Wear a dark shirt, and make sure whatever is behind you is dark. (A wall, a shaded forest, etc.) Much of the reason you can't see the screen is because of ...

To increase the legibility of a computer screen, arrangement should be made to control the fall of run rays directly on the computer screen. This can be done by covering the top of the computer by some wooden surface or cloth , in such a way that the area of the wooden surface or the cloth is more than the area of the ...

In my experience many command line users have bright font on dark background terminal emulators (usually white on black, or matrix-movie green on black), while in bright environments (e.g. outside work), a dark font on a bright background is more legible (black on white).

I have an update to my app that has been reviewed and is **Pending Developer Release**. I have found a bug in this version and would actually like to reject this binary and keep my existing binary. Once I fix the bug, I would like to re-upload a new binary. Is this possible?

It took me a little while to find the answer to this. It can be done, but the answer isn't very intuitive. In iTunes Connect, select your new application & load the details for it. Click the "Binary Details" link. Once this screen is open, there will be a "Reject this Binary" button on this screen. I found this withi...

Hi guys, I'm working on the sound design for an animation and I need to create the sound of fairy dust. Visually think magic wand, or the sparkles that surround Tinkerbell. Light and magical and darting around. I'm thinking the sounds needs to be light, high frequency and glistening, maybe chime like but not too musi...

Have you tried the Bell Tree? It's definitely the staple for that type of sound. Check out the samples [here](http://www.compositiontoday.com/sound_bank/percussion/bell_tree.asp). It is a bit of a cliché, but you can always process it more to make it more unique. Perhaps also think about other layers to go with it. Th...
You can always use matchstick striking sounds instead of white noise. They have their own dynamics, and i find them very easy to use on abstract sounds.
