Q: Why is the file being overwritten?

I'm designing a new server application, which includes a subroutine that parses the input into the console window, for example LogAlways("--- CPU detection ---") will be written as: [net 21:8:38.939] --- CPU detection --- This is the subroutine: Public Sub LogAlways(ByVal input As String) ...

a little annoying that I can't accept the answer for two days, but hey.

Not only do we get to clear out obvious copying, but I nailed a 25-account sock network today that had worked so very hard not to be noticed, in part because of the plagiarism flags you provided.

A: How do I add a VScrollBar to a textbox?

Vertical scroll bars can be added to TextBox form objects, but however they must be Multiline: This can either be done by setting Multiline to True and ScrollBars to Vertical: or it can be done via code, programmatically, as per se: TextBox1.Multiline = True TextBox1.ScrollBars = ScrollBar...

@CosmicFaTaLiiTy Net Seal uses GDI+, which is a C++ API. It's very worrying when you don't even know what programming language you're using. Are you seriously trying to tell me that you're attempting to use C++ code in VB.NET?!? — cybermonkey 14 secs ago

@cybermonkey just move on :), I voted long before, the comments are speaking bands

cybermonkey

turns out the OP's trying to use C++ code with VB.NET (within the VB.NET environment). I'm all for helping those new to programming, but when they don't even know the programming language they're using, it's probably best for them to stop programming...

@bjb568 No, not balanced. Generate random numbers of the form x.y, selecting x and y from digits 0-9 with uniform probability. The mean is 4.95.

user259867

If you round them according to your scheme, the result of rounding has mean 5.

user259867

If you round them using "toward the even" scheme, that is 1.5->2 and 2.5->2, then the mean of rounded numbers is 4.95, as it was.

10:13 PM

oh noes!

user259867

@bjb568 Simply put, the issue is that the amounts of rounding are not balanced between your brackets. Zero is not getting rounded either way, the number just stays as it was. So you have four cases of rounding down, five of rounding up, and one where there is no change. This is biased toward increasing. To balance the proves, 5 should get rounded down half of the time.

For what it's worth, I've been pushing (what seems like forever) to have the beta label removed when a site is no longer "in beta." They're warming up to the idea... but beyond that, I don't yet know how far I can push this idea that long-standing "beta" sites are essentially "finished." I envision allowing communities to do minor look-and-feel tweaks: a fixed logo, a byline under the title, maybe changing a few key graphic elements — it would be more like skinning a site than a complete redesign, but like I said, let's get that meaningless "beta" label removed first! Amen. — Robert Cartaino ♦ 58 mins ago

user259867

Hmm. But then removing beta is a thing distinct from graduating, so terminology would be somehow different again. At present, the real test is private beta - if the site survives it, it's safe. Maybe remove the label already then.

bjb568

Internet has preach. I want open. SkewlWabsites are suck.

user259867

The new criteria for beta survival are all about moderation. A site can have no users at all, as long as one mod logs in often enough to delete spam. No users, no flags, no violations of BN policy. So what if nobody answers anything.
