This is helpful because the product is part of the basic work environment of most of our users.
This feature was implemented not so long ago and for a while all was well, but when we started testing this feature on Vista the product started behaving really weird on startup. Specifically, our product makes use of another product (lets call it X) that it launches whenever it needs its services. The actual problem is that whenever X is launched immediately after log-on, it crashes or reports critical errors related to disk access (this happens even when X is launched directly - not through our product).
This happens whenever we run our product by registering it in the "Run" key in the registry or place a shortcut to it in the "Startup" folder inside the "Start Menu", even when we put a delay of ~20 seconds before actually starting to run. When we changed the delay to 70 seconds, all is well.
We tried to reproduce the problem by launching our product manually immediately after logon (by double-clicking on a shortcut placed on the desktop) but to no avail.
Now how is it possible that applications that run normally a minute after logon report such hard errors when starting immediately after logon? | windows-vista | null | null | null | null | null | open | Why are my auto-run applications acting weird on Vista?

I'm looking for a Suckerfish-style solution that is primarily CSS-based and works on a simple set of nested ULs and LIs.
[Son of Suckerfish][1] seems like the way to go, but I don't like the way it just disappears the second you move the mouse away, as users with co-ordination difficulties will have a nightmare navigating the site (or just not bother, but since it's a corporate site there are some who will probably _have_ to use whatever I implement).
Neat features that I've not even thought about needing are welcome, but the two main elements I'm looking for are:
1. Multi-level using a nested UL/LI structure
2. Small (possibly configurable?) delay before disappearing when the menu is "mouseout"-ed, even if it is provided by some extra JavaScript.

**Is there a way in PHP to overwrite a method declared by one interface in an interface extending that interface?**
*The "Example":*
I'm probably doing something wrong, but here is what I have:
interface iVendor{
public function __construct($vendors_no = null);
public function getName();
public function getVendors_no();
public function getZip();
public function getCountryCode();
public function setName($name);
public function setVendors_no($vendors_no);
public function setZip($zip);
public function setCountryCode($countryCode);
}
interface iShipper extends iVendor{
public function __construct($vendors_no = null, $shipment = null);
public function getTransitTime($shipment = null);
public function getTransitCost($shipment = null);
public function getCurrentShipment();
public function setCurrentShipment($shipment);
public function getStatus($shipment = null);
}
Normally in PHP, when you extend something, you can overwrite any method contained therein (right?). However, when one interface extends another, it won't let you. Unless I'm thinking about this wrong... When I implement the iShipper interface, I don't have to make the Shipper object extend the Vendor object (that implements the iVendor interface). I just say:
class FedEx implements iShipper{}
and make FedEx implement all of the methods from iVendor and iShipper. However, I need the __construct functions in iVendor and iShipper to be unique. I know I could take out the $shipment = null, but then it wouldn't be as convenient to create Shippers (by just passing in the vendors_no and the shipment while instantiating).
Anyone know how to make this work? My fallback is to have to set the shipment by calling $shipper->setShipment($shipment); on the Shipper after I instantiate it, but I'm hoping for a way to get around having to do that...
*A little more explanation for the curious:*
*The FedEx Object has methods that go to the FedEx site (using cURL) and gets an estimate for the Shipment in question. I have a UPS Object, a BAXGlobal Object, a Conway Object, etc. Each one has COMPLETELY different methods for actually getting the shipping estimate, but all the system needs to know is that they are a "shipper" and that the methods listed in the interface are callable on them (so it can treat them all exactly the same, and loop through them in a "shippers" array calling getTransitX() to find the best shipper for a shipment).*
*Each "Shipper" is also a "Vendor" though, and is treated as such in other parts of the system (getting and putting in the DB, etc. Our data design is a pile of crap, so FedEx is stored right alongside companies like Dunder Mifflin in the "Vendors" table, which means it gets to have all the properties of every other Vendor, but needs the extra properties and methods supplied by iShipper).* | php | oop | interface | extends | null | null | open | Making one interface overwrite a method it inherits from another interface in PHP

Unless I'm thinking about this wrong... When I implement the iShipper interface, I don't have to make the Shipper object extend the Vendor object (that implements the iVendor interface). I just say:
class FedEx implements iShipper{}
and make FedEx implement all of the methods from iVendor and iShipper. However, I need the __construct functions in iVendor and iShipper to be unique. I know I could take out the $shipment = null, but then it wouldn't be as convenient to create Shippers (by just passing in the vendors_no and the shipment while instantiating).
Anyone know how to make this work? My fallback is to have to set the shipment by calling $shipper->setShipment($shipment); on the Shipper after I instantiate it, but I'm hoping for a way to get around having to do that...
*A little more explanation for the curious:*
*The FedEx Object has methods that go to the FedEx site (using cURL) and gets an estimate for the Shipment in question. I have a UPS Object, a BAXGlobal Object, a Conway Object, etc. Each one has COMPLETELY different methods for actually getting the shipping estimate, but all the system needs to know is that they are a "shipper" and that the methods listed in the interface are callable on them (so it can treat them all exactly the same, and loop through them in a "shippers" array calling getTransitX() to find the best shipper for a shipment).*
*Each "Shipper" is also a "Vendor" though, and is treated as such in other parts of the system (getting and putting in the DB, etc. Our data design is a pile of crap, so FedEx is stored right alongside companies like Dunder Mifflin in the "Vendors" table, which means it gets to have all the properties of every other Vendor, but needs the extra properties and methods supplied by iShipper).* | 0 |

A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server.
According to my research, this is something that "just happens" and not much can be done to prevent it. It does not happen as a result of a bad query, and generally cannot be duplicated. It just crops up maybe once every few days in a busy OLTP system when the TCP connection to the database goes bad for some reason.
I am forced to detect this error by parsing the exception message, and then retrying the entire operation from scratch, to include using a new connection. None of that is pretty.

Is it better to roll your own XSD? What about different schema docs like DTDs, Relax NG, or Schematron? The key is that I would like to be able to validate my document using C#. What are your xml validation strategies?

My array and class:
var tPoints = [];
function tPoint(name) {
var id = name;
var points = [];
var pointsCount = 0;
...
this.getHeadPoint = function() { return points[pointsCount-1]; }
}
tPoint holds an array of [GLatLng][2] points. I want to write a function to return a [GLatLngBounds][3] object which is extended from the current map bounds to show all the HeadPoints.
Heres what I have so far..
function getBounds() {
var mBound = map.getBounds();
for (var i = 0; i < tPoints.lenght; i++) {
alert(mBound.getSouthWest().lat() + "," + mBound.getSouthWest().lng());
alert(mBound.getNorthEast().lat() + "," + mBound.getNorthEast().lng());
currPoint = trackMarkers[i].getHeadPoint();
if (!mBound.containsLatLng(currPoint)) {
mBound.extend(currPoint);
}
}
return mBound;
}
Which returns these values for the alert. (Generally over the US)<br />
"19.64258,NaN"<br />
"52.69636,NaN"<br />
"i=0"<br />
"19.64258,NaN"<br />
"52.69636,-117.20701"<br />
"i=1"<br />
I don't know why I am getting NaN back.
When I use the bounds to get a zoom level I think the NaN value is causing the map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds) to return 0 which is incorrect. Am I using [GLatLngBounds][3] incorrectly?
