 | Visual Studio on a Netbook? |  | jdrodas | 13:52 31 Jan '09 |

Hi everyone!
With all this hype about netbooks, I was wondering if it's possible to run Visual Studio 2008 on a Intel's Atom based netbook. I don't need to create any "fancy stuff", just the basic educational and learning material, something to keep me awake during those boring lectures at college.
The portability and price are very attractive, considering this one would be my secondary pc.
What do you think?

At 256 to 512MB of RAM, running VS2008 would be PAINFULL, since it's recommended min RAM is 1GB. Also, 2-4GB of storage is barely enough to install Windows, let alone Visual Studio. And a 7" to 10" display would make the work surface so small, you'd get sick of using it very quickly. It would probably be like trying to read a magazine through a soda straw.

Thank you Dave.
about the specs: 2GB RAM, 9" display with 1024x600 resolution. it also has 80 GB of HDD. You made an excellent point with the work area of the display, considering the size of the panels in VS'08.
But my concerns are related with the processor load... I mean, Would Intel Atom be able to handle Vs'08? Will it perform like a Celeron?

I have no idea. You'd probably have to compare benchmarks for your current development machine against those of an Atom-based machine.

It really depends on how much memory you have. If less than 512 I would not recommend it. Why not grab an old copy of VC6 and put that on there?

Since they don't publish any screen shots of the app, it's impossible to tell you anything about it. No, I'm not downloading and installing it.

Ask them. But, it really does not matter what language they used.

From looking at other apps they've published, it looks like a bunch of custom written controls using Windows Presentation Foundation, or WPF.

Hi,
I had this strange idea of creating a vibrating device for my pc. Usually at work our pc's do not have any sort of speakers. There are applications that gives an audio signal as part of its various tasks. I know there are computer mice which do the same thing...but this is a simple vibrating device! I am no electronics wiz kid, but I'd like to know how to build my own such device that is pluggable into my usb port. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanx in advance.

A small electric motor with an eccentric (off centre) load.

I want to know:
1. How to build one such device?
2. How to make it vibrate?
3. If I need some other controller for it?
4. Do I need to write any driver software for it?

| Device drivers download links | | shoto_kan | 9:46 30 Jan '09 |

Hi All,
I am working on a product that will automatically update drivers on end user machines.
As part of this system, we should obtain download links to all available drivers from all vendors.
Do you have an idea - how con we get this data? 
The best idea I currently have is a script that iterates vendors ftp sites and list all links to relevant files.
But the issue with this approach is that not all vendors has updated ftp site, or it's not accessible.
Please reply with any idea you have.
Many thanks,
Omri Schwartz

There is no published source of data like this. You'd have to build your own database by finding the URL's to the most current drivers and putting them into your database yourself.
There is no real completely automated way to do this.

How long have you been in this department?? What you asked is a Software Testing 101 question.
Basically, it's a script that controls a tool that does automated testing of software functions. You test against a non-production version of the web site, or what's called "mock live". It's an envrionment that's been setup as close to production as possible, wihtout risk your production data.
I take it you're using a tool like IBM's Rational, or Mercury, or some other toolset...
A suggestion if your not...[^]

.spdf is a encrpted .pdf file. I want to know how would go about actually opening the file. I have a Adobe Creative Suite 3. But it doesn't open it. I'm wondering if there is a way to open this file and view its contents?(
(This is for future references... I was turned down on a side job because I couldn't get it to open correctly.)

What happens when you type "how do you open an spdf file" into Google or Yahoo? If you couldn't do this and come up with the answer, this is the real reason why you did get that job.
The point behind the interview question is not to determine exactly what you know about a file type or an application, but can you do the research to find out.
Up until this question, I had no idea Sealed PDF's even existed.

I'm unsure where to start here. I'm trying to keep costs to a minimum.
This is my first question.
1. What will be the best computer language?
2. Between the sql server software, which one is the best one to use for this type of server?
|

My answer for your first question
There are two major answers, in my opinion:
1) Java: great object orientation (a good starting point, no need to go through procedural forma mentis), no pointers (maybe too advanced), easy to get results in a small amount of time, easy multimedia... and obviously multi-platform.
2) if you are using MS Windows platform, Object pascal (search for turbo Delphi express) gives a solid environment, strong typing and an easy access to the visual facilities of Win32 (it's very easy to build a sample windows visual application in 5 minutes).
Software is like entropy. It is difficult to grasp, weighs nothing, and obeys the second law of thermodynamics; i.e. it always increases.

That's highly subjective, and there are bitter arguments over this. To a large extent, the answer is "It depends" and what it depends on is what you are trying to do and what programming experience you have. If you want to build a cross platform application, you're probably better off with Java. If you want to target the Windows platform, then C# is an excellent choice. If you want to write 3D games then Java possibly shouldn't be the language you choose, instead take a look at C or C++ (or even something like Blitz Basic).
Whichever language you choose, good luck.

| (simple) LDAP service with C# [modified] | | Stevie | 2:52 28 Jan '09 |
|

Hi guys!
I have this idea of making all contact information in a business application I write some time ago available thru LDAP so that outlook/thunderbird etc. can access the contacts via network and I don't need to import/export everything.
So basically, the idea was to create a simple wrapper to accept LDAP queries and return the data to the clients.
The next step would then be to be able to edit/create new contacts. But the first matter would greatly ease my burden...
Is there any library (C# or general .NET, ...) available to realize something like that?
Best regards,
Stevie
