Given an absolute or relative path (in a Unix-like system), I would like to determine the full path of the target after resolving any intermediate symlinks. Bonus points for also resolving ~username notation at the same time.
If the target is a directory, it might be possible to chdir() into the directory and then c... |

Then you'd have to hold the key in memory. That would make it a little harder, but definitely not impossible. Anyone motivated will still manage to get the data from memory. |
Stop beating on VC6. It's old. The STL was updated in 1996 from HP code written in 1994. C++ was ratified in 1998.
What is the code doing when you are breaking? Can you reduce the situation into a simple test. When I try that I usually find the cause. If you can do that so it still happens then I'll take a look at i... |

In your route, get rid of the {paramName} part of the URL. It should be:

As that is the URL you want the request to route to. Your form will then post to that URL.
Posted form values are mapped to parameters of an action method automatically, so don't worry about not having that ... |

I've moved from TFS to SVN (TortoiseSVN) with my current company. I really miss the "Shelve" feature of TFS. I've read various articles on how to "Shelve" with SVN, but I've read nothing that gives a very simple experience to "shelve" work.

In my opinion:

My first thought on this is "how generate N vectors in a space that maximize distance from each other."

They were saying they were getting 1.5 million downloads per day back in March 2008, and that was before the Olympics and the Democratic National Convention. So, unless my math is off, that's more than 4 people.

They really got a huge bump with the Olympics as far as getting it installed on machines. It will be interesting to see how much developer buy in they can gather. It's a tough sell for front end web people because it's a complete toolset change. I know the midteir/WPF people like it because it's closer to their norm... |
Probably not. CTE's are especially good at querying data for tree structures. |
No, they aren't (or at least you can't assume they are). Having said that, there are some tricks to do this atomically, but they typically aren't portable (see [Compare-and-swap][1]).

Yes, you need to synchronize accesses. In C++0x it will be a data race, and undefined behaviour. With POSIX threads it's already undefined behaviour.
In practice, you might get bad values if the data type is larger than the native word size. Also, another thread might never see the value written due to optimizations... |

So I wrote some perl that would parse results returned from the Amazon Web Services. I am using the XML::Simple package. For the most part, everything worked when I pulled out an element.

If you are using databind in asp.net handle the databinding event and just don't set the NavigateUrl if that users is disabled. |
If if the number is negative, you'll have to do this:

Have you tried just **not** setting the NavigateUrl property? If this isn't set, it may just render as a span. |
most likely just using margins. float the first column left then set the margin to the width of the first column. |
You could try signal averaging, i.e. for each point, average the value with the surrounding 3 or more points. If the noise blips are huge, then even this may not help.

Safe mode UID check is used to prevent users from accessing other peoples files. GID is used to prevent a GROUP of users from accessing other GROUPS files. |
As DannySmurf touches on here, it is all about the structure of the xml document.<br />

It would read the entire file at once. In my experience, though, if you're just reading the file, doing some processing (ie, breaking it up) and then continuing on with your work, the XmlDocument is going to go through it's create/read/collect cycle so quickly that it likely won't matter.
Of course, that depends on ... |
Here's another technique for autosizing a textarea.
