This is part of a much larger project to effectively "teach myself software development" from the ground up (the details are [here](http://www.appscanadian.ca/archives/cs-101-introduction-to-computer-science/) if you're interested in helping out).
My biggest stumbling block so far has been math - how can I learn about algorithms and asymptotic notation without it??
What I'm looking for is some sort of "dependency tree" showing what I need to know. Is calculus required before discrete? What do I need to know before calculus (read: components to the general "pre-calculus" topic)? What can I cut out to fast track the project ("what can I go back for later")?

- Plain HTML. Let the request format the data and return it in a usable format.
Advantage: easy to consume by the calling page. Disadvantage: Very rigid, stuck with a fixed layout.
- XML. Let the request return XML, format it using XSLT on the calling page. Advantage: the requested service is easily consumed by other sources. Disadvantage: Is browser support for XSLT good enough?
- JSON. Let the request return JSON, consume it using javascript, render HTML accordingly. Advantage: easier to 'OO-ify' the javascript making the request. Disadvantage: Probably not as easy to use as the previous two options.
I've also thought about going for option one while abstracting the view logic in the called service in such a way that switching in and out different layouts would be trivial. Personally I think this option is the best out of three, for compatibility reasons.
While typing this, I got another insight. Would it be a good idea to allow all three response formats, based on a parameter added to the request? | javascript | ajax | null | null | null | null | open | XmlHttpRequest return values

I encountered one last night when working with Master Pages: my `<asp:BulletedList ID="nav">`, when converted into HTML, became `<ul id="ct100_nav">`.
There are other issues--I noticed that when you auto-populate a DataGrid, it adds attributes to the resulting table that I don't necessarily want there.
I know that there is a certain amount of "convention over configuration" that you have to accept when you rely on a framework to take over some of your tedious duties, but the "conventions" in these cases aren't so much any established conventions, but rather unnecessary extras. I know *why* the ID adds the prefix, but I should be able to tweak and turn things like this off, especially since, as a bit of a web standards evangelist, I don't duplicated HTML id's in a single page anyway.
So the question here is for those ASP.NET devs more seasoned than I: in your experiences in developing and deploying apps, how do you leverage these controls? Do you find yourself resorting back to hard-coded HTML? Do you use a blend?

The provided link goes to <a href="http://www.amazon.com">amazon.com</a>, but for historical reasons I have my wish lists at <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk">amazon.co.uk</a>.

However, sometimes I will find a book that is not available on the UK site, so I have to maintain a separate list on the US site anyway.
I would like to have my book lists on a different site, ideally stored alongside other resources I want to keep track of. So far I have come up with the following types of information that I need to organize:
* Books I plan on buying or researching further.
* Events, courses and conferences I plan to attend or find out more about
* Articles I want to read or keep for future reference.
* Various URLs.
* Movies I want to see (i.e. IMDB links).
* Music (albums, songs) I want to check out.
* Various thoughts, notes and ideas (possibly related to a current or future project)
Today I use a combination of browser bookmarks, <a href="http://www.evernote.com">Evernote</a> notes, Amazon wish lists, blog drafts and files stored on <a href="http://www.jungledisk.com">JungleDisk</a> drives too keep track of all this information. If something is specific to a given project, I will store the information in the project's Subversion repository.
Common for all these types of information is that many of them would benefit from some integration with a third-party provider (i.e. links to book information on Amazon, links to music/band information on <a href="http://www.allmusic.com">allmusic.com</a> or Wikipedia, links to movie reviews on IMDB, etc.). I would also like to be able to organize everything in one place, ideally with tags and folders.
I know I can make everything into links and organize them on delicious or make everything into notes and put them on Evernote, but maybe there exists a better site with direct support for many of these information types already?
How do people here organize their (online) resources, notes and ideas?
Note: Some of you may wonder what this has to do with programming, but since programming is a natural part of my everyday life, I don't really see any significant difference between organizing articles on functional programming or reviews of the latest Batman movie. I would still like to have it all accessible—and searchable—in one place.
Also note that I'm not looking for yet another social bookmarking web site. I only need the information to be accessible to me, and sharing them with other people or adding friends on the site is of no importance.

The aluminium extrusions come in lengths of 5m.
I have a list of smaller lengths that need to be cut from the 5m lengths of aluminium extrusions.
The smaller lengths need to be cut in the order that produces the least amount of off cut waste from the 5m lengths of aluminium extrusions.
Currently I order the cutting list in such a way that generally the longest of the smaller lengths gets cut first and the shortest of smaller lengths gets cut last. The exception to this rule is whenever a shorter length will not fit in what is left of the 5m length of aluminium extrusion, I use the longest shorter length that will fit.
This seems to produce a very efficient (very little off cut waste) cutting list and doesn't take long to calculate. I imagine, however, that even though the cutting list is **very** efficient, it is not necessarily the **most** efficient.
Does anyone know of a way to calculate the most efficient cutting list which can be calculated in a reasonable amount of time?

I like to keep things simple, even with .NET. I generally write stored procedures for everything, and I have a helper class that wraps all calls to execute procedures and return data sets. I'm not looking for a full-blown ORM or any kind of entity model.

I *think* that some of the Alerts/Notifications settings I tried playing with caused the problem as the job had been running to completion unattended for the previous two weeks.
So... Where's a good place to start reading up on SQL Agent Alerts and Notifications? I want to enable some sort of alert/notification so that I'm always informed:
1. That the job completes successfully (as a check to ensure that it's always executed), or
2. That the job ran into some sort of error, which should include enough info (such as error number) that I can diagnose the cause of the error
As always, any help will be greatly appreciated!

I have a C++ DLL for 3D rendering that is what we sell to customers. For .NET users we will have a CLR wrapper around it. The C++ DLL can be built in both 32 and 64bit versions, but I think this means we need to have two CLR wrappers since the CLR binds to a specific DLL?
Say now our customer has a .NET app that can be either 32 or 64bit, and that it being a pure .NET app it leaves the CLR to work it out from a single set of assemblies. The question is how can the app code dynamically choose between our 32 and 64bit CLR/DLL combinations at run-time?
Even more specifically, is the suggested answer to the aforementioned question applicable here too (i.e. create a ResolveEvent handler)?

This must be a common problem, and I know for a fact it works in theory (see links below), but I have failed to get it working, and I haven't been able to find a code sample that demonstrates it.
Requirements:
- WCF
- Clients connects to server through tcp port 80 (netTcpBinding).
- Server pushes back information at irregular intervals (1 min to several hours).
- Users should not have to configure their firewalls, server pushes must pass through firewalls that have all inbound ports closed. TCP duplex on the same connection is needed for this, a dual binding does not work since a port has to be opened on the client firewall.
- Clients sends heartbeats to server at regular intervals (perhaps every 15 mins) so server knows client is still alive.
- Server is IIS7 with WAS.
The solution seems to be duplex netTcpBinding. Based on this information:
[WCF through firewalls and NATs][1]
[Keeping connections open in IIS][2]
But I have yet to find a code sample that works.. I've tried combining the "Duplex" and "TcpActivation" samples from Microsoft's WCF Samples without any luck. Please can someone point me to example code that works, or build a small sample app. Thanks a lot!

Currently I am redeveloping some old application in PHP and one of requirements is: make everything or almost everything searchable, so user just types "punkrock live" and the app finds videos clips, music tracks, reviews, upcoming events or even user comments labeled that way.
In environment where everything is searchable ORM need to support this feature in two ways:
- providing some indexing API on "O" side of ORM
- providing means for bulk database retrieval on "R" side
Ideal solution would return ready made objects based on searched string.
Do you know any good end-to-end solutions that does the job, not necessarily in PHP?
If you dealt with similar problem it would be nice to listen what your experience is. Something more than *Use Lucene* or *semantic web is the way* oneliners, tho ;-)* | search | orm | engine | doctrine | propel | null | open | Search strategies in ORMs

Both IE7 and FF3 exhibit this behavior. When viewing the CSS using the web developer toolbar, it returns jibberish. The cache-control header is coming through as "private," but I don't know enough to figure out if that's a contributing factor or not.

b.apply(null, args);

The output of which is:

I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a while and haven't found any help. I may just be using the wrong keywords in my searches, but so far I've had no luck. Here's the question:
**In VBA, how can I select the "Open" option from the file download dialog in Internet Explorer?**
Just for extra clarification, I'm talking about the yellow-orange bar that pops up across the bottom of the screen in IE9 when a file is downloaded.
I'm doing some VBA automation to download hundreds of PDFs from the web using Internet Explorer, but there is an intermediate step where a .fdf file has to be opened before I get to the actual PDF. So I first need to select the "Open" option so that I can move on to the next step of the automation. Like I said earlier, I've done a lot of searching and had no luck so far.
I've tried using SendKeys in hopes that hitting Enter would work, and that was a last ditch effort that didn't work.

It works really well but today I observed some problem when I compile a multifile document.
I have some `master.tex` and `\input{chap1.tex}` in it. When I use `run-latexmk` while editing `chap1.tex` (master file is properly set in chap1.tex) then I get a message
TeX-run-TeX: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil.
Output pdf/dvi file seems to be good but I am curious why I get this message.
I tried changing the line `(TeX-run-TeX "latexmk" "latexmk" master-file)` in many ways but without success.
Of course when I compile singlefile document then all works good without any messages.
What should I change to get rid of this warning?

However, I cannot find out where to change the padding between items in the News Item lists.

===
We are using the N2 CMS software for our Intranet pretty much out of the box with no customizations. The goal for right now is to allow our Graphics personnel to make changes to the content as well as the styles. I was able to change the font size and color of the News Items list by changing the anchor tag CSS settings in the App_Themes directory. However, I cannot find out where to change the padding between items in the News Item lists.
Is there a CSS setting i can change to make this happen?
Thanks,

My current solution, which sucks, is to send the datetimes into a UDF to convert them to midnight of the same day, and then check those dates for equality. When it comes to the query plan, this is a disaster, as are almost all UDFs in joins or where clauses. This is one of the only places in my application that I haven't been able to root out the functions and give the query optimizer something it can actually use to locate the best index.
In this case, merging the function code back into the query seems impractical.
I think I am missing something simple here.

Foo
is a constant (a Class, a Module, or another constant). Whereas
foo
is a variable. The key difference is as follows:
module Foo

BAZ = 8
end
Foo::BAZ

Foo::bar

That's all well and good, but Ruby 1.9 [allows UTF-8 source code][1]. So is
℃
"uppercase" or "lowecase" as far as this is concerned? What about
Â
or
Ɖ
Is there a general rule?
