I am using Windows 7 daily as a limited user with UAC enabled. I log in as $USER and have have a dummy user called $ADMIN with Administrative access I use for elevation purposes.
Unfortunately, some elevated applications are aware of being elevated: running Explorer as admin still shows $USER's ...
I believe you can configure WCF in such way that it can stream large amounts of data to the client instead of downloading all at once... That way it won't be any different that downloading lot's of small blocks...
been wondering that for the last 12 hours. Should I try switching our WS2 over to WCF or write my own TCP client / server to handle large files case specially.
anyone else have the problem of having great ideas for personal projects to do at home, then arriving home in the evening, after a day of work, and not being able to muster the will to work on them?
@Sekhat Yeah. I can relate. I often start but never get around to finishing them. Something always comes along and eventually I lose complete interest, or find something on the web that already does it.
@Diago yeah exactly the same problem for me. If someone were to follow my github account they'd see projects appear and disappear with remarkable frequency.
But with all seriousness. Before working life, when I couldn't code every hour of everyday, When I could I would be very focused on the one project I was working on at the time.
I guess, thinking about it, its just my brain asking for a rest.
I am lucky. Our department also do sports events, so every once in a while like this last weekend we are involved in registrations and timing. It gets you out of the office and busy. And I get to work half day for a whole week after.
sigh there must of been a reason I didn't wrap the original web service client proxy in an adapter. I seriously hope there was, this is going to be a bugger to change.
Not happy, in order to send Streams to WPF service your method can only accept one parameter that is a stream. Which means I'm either going to have to figure out if using a two staged operation (one to send the stream and one to do the action on the data sent) or encode the stream with all the required parameters is the best option.
Befunge is a stack-based, reflective, esoteric programming language. It differs from conventional languages in that programs are arranged on a two-dimensional grid. "Arrow" instructions direct the control flow to the left, right, up or down, and loops are constructed by sending the control flow in a cycle.
History
The language was originally created by Chris Pressey in 1993 as an attempt to devise a language which is as hard to compile as possible — note that the p command allows for self-modifying code. Nevertheless, a number of compilers have subsequently been written. A number...

FakeItEasy uses better terminology I believe. I like the term "Fake object" it kinda sums up what your creating with mocks and stubs and the like.
but simply, stubs are object that a fake implementation. Mocks usually have fake implementations but can be asked whether method / properties / events were called.
So in the case of stubs, I have a class I'm unit testing that depends on a repository, my repository hits the DB. I don't want it to hit the DB when running my unit tests, so instead I pass in a fake repository that does everything in memory.
I think you'd use mocks when you need to test if the class under test communicates with it's collaborators correctly. So you can say did my class call Method A on collaborator X
@Sekhat but that means that you have coded your class so that you pass in the repository - so you are doing dependency injection... what I meant by IoC
Hmm, so, slight problem. This morning I had no internet access at home. Come to work, I can remote IN to my home computer just fine. Still though, I can't connect to anything requiring an OUT connection.
@Sekhat, but git is so useful for trying stuff out locally, committing it, rolling back, creating a branch for something that's "not quite ready", stashing WIP while I correct some bugs.
I think the alternative to dig is nslookup but I'm not a windows guy so I'm unsure of the usage. With linux I would use dig to test each DNS server to see which one(s) are not responding
DNS seems to be the most common ISP failure.. I know it happens to me with Comcast on occasion. Most people are just SOL since they don't know how to change the servers or what to change them to..
I am sending a stream to methods to write on, and in those methods I am using a binary reader/wrtier. When the reader/writer gets disposed, either by using or just when it is not referenced, is the stream closed as well??
I would send a BinaryReader/Writer, but I am using a StreamReader too (may...
@Josh, The uverse gateway could ping successfully. The linksys router was pointing at the uverse gateway for dns but could not ping. Changed the dhcp dns on the linksys and it could ping. However, my computers were pointing at the uverse gateway for dns and still couldn't access once the linksys router was good. So I had to go through and change each computer to point to the linksys for dns. Oy.
Not sure I understand why the gateway could ping and the linksys couldn't though it was pointing at the gateway.
@Fosco No, an EE reference. All electronics, from your basic resistors and diodes up to desktop computers and beyond, really operate by magic, none of this voltage or bytes stuff they teach you in school.
The magic is contained in smoke that they fill the components with in the factory.
If you ever let any of the magic smoke out of your devices, well, they'll never work right again.
I await the day my company can replace me with a Linux Uuberadmin, and I can focus 100% on programming
@Fosco It's fun, unless your business depends on a problem being solved and you don't know the solution, and the more time you take solving it, the less paying work you're able to do!
ServerFault and SuperUser have both been a huge help
@Josh Don't you get paid the same either way?.. I think if you're moved to focus on 100% programming, you're going to miss it.. and you'll find other ways (hello SO/MSO/CMSO) to waste time that you would've spent on being a linux admin.
@Josh and you'll be that much more replaceable overall..
@Fosco I'm a part owner of the company, so I get paid when the company gets paid, and we get paid for sales, not maintenance :-)
(We're a SaaS / website hosting / custom development company)
And I'll never have my hands out of the IT department completely, I am CTO after all :-) I'd just like to have a network guy I could say, "here, fix this, I don't feel like doing it" :-)
