NTFS actually will perform fine with many more than 10,000 files in a directory as long as you tell it to stop creating alternative file names compatible with 16 bit Windows platforms. By default NTFS automatically creates an ‘8 dot 3’ file name for every file that is created. This becomes a problem when there … Read more
One problem with Bluetooth on the PC is that there are several BT stacks in use and you can never quite know which one is available on a given machine. The most common ones are Widcomm (now Broadcom) and Microsoft (appeared in XP, maybe one of the service packs). However, some BT hardware vendors package … Read more
What about std::wcout ? #include <iostream> int main() { std::wcout << L”Hello World!” << std::endl; return 0; } This is the standard wide-characters output stream. Still, as Adrian pointed out, this doesn’t address the fact cmd, by default, doesn’t handle Unicode outputs. This can be addressed by manually configuring the console, like described in Adrian’s … Read more
There’s no single answer to that. In fact, that’s precisely why these “SpecialFolder”s are defined. You use those instead of a hardcoded path. Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData is the most common one. This folder holds per-user, non-temporary application-specific data, other than user documents. A common example would be a settings or configuration file. Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData is similar, but shared … Read more
The “and” turns out to be easy — just not the syntax you expect: These 3 examples illustrate it. In words: If 1==1 AND 2==2 Then echo “hello” if 1==1 echo hello hello if 1==1 if 2==2 echo hello hello if 1==1 if 2==1 echo hello (nothing was echoed)
Go to the command window, and hit Ctrl-C a lot. From my experience, on a single-core machine you do not have a chance, unless you do lots of output. On a multi-core or multi-processor machine, you’ll probably stop it eventually, but it takes time.

On my system, they are in C:\Program Files (x86)\WampServer\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.53\data. So in yours they would be in E:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql-version\data. You can start mysql locally from E:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql-version\bin, where all the executables are. Be aware that the configuration file you want to use is E:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql-version\my.ini. You can also simply copy all the subdirectories to another server. I’m no MySql … Read more
Configure the Terminal to use bash.exe or sh.exe from Git installation like this: “c:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe” –login Use Tools | Open Terminal… (or click on the Terminal tool window) then run your git command in the Terminal tool window.
Not really. The directory that serves as a common repository for application-specific data for the current roaming user. AppData is, surprisingly, for application data, not for installation (Click Once/Silverlight applications aside). You can, and should still install into Program Files, just don’t expect to write into that folder. You can install software into AppData if … Read more
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if CMD.EXE worked that way! Unfortunately there is not a good syntax that will do what you want. The best you can do is parse the command line yourself and build a new argument list. Something like this can work. @echo off setlocal echo %* shift set “args=” :parse if “%~1” … Read more
