Hi,
Is it possible to find out in what browser version a browser hosted application (XBAP) runs (eg. IE6, IE7 or IE8)? I want to find out the browser version from within the XBAP.

Rob
Hi There,
My application displays Hebrew text which comes from a Web Service.
When a sentence contains digits (in the middle of it), the digits appear in a mirror view:
29 appears as 92, 21:45 appears as 54:12 and 2,000 appears as 000,2.
Also, when a sentence starts with digits or English characters, they get thrown to the end of the sentence messing it all up...
Does anyone have an idea how can this be solved? Is RTL support in Android still immature?
Thanks,
Rob
Has there been an update to Firefox recently? Users are reporting they are unable to use my web application when using Firefox (can't enter text into Infragistics grid). I've not changed anything recently and it works when I try with Firefox.
So more of a general "Has there been an significant upgrade recently?" kind of question.
Thanks, Rob.
Is there an inbuilt .NET date formatting function to return a date in the format:
3rd April 2010
It's the "rd" bit that I cannot recollect whether there is a formatting option.
Cheers, Rob.
How can I convert a Drawable to a Bitmap?
I would like to set a certain drawable as the device's wallpaper, but all wallpaper functions accept Bitmaps only (I cannot use WallpaperManager - I'm pre 2.1).
Also, my drawables are downloaded from the web and do not reside in R.drawable.
Thanks, Rob
Hello,
I know this question has been floated, but there are not any answers. In Objective C, is there a way to return signal strength?
Thanks in advance,

I have been successful with this in the past but now I can't seem to find the setting that tells XCode or Doxygen (or both) to display compile errors if documentation is missing. I have looked at the Apple documentation that tells how to create docsets and that works fine but XCode does not throw compiling errors on missing comments in the source code. Anyone know how to get this turned on?
Thanks,
Rob
I'm writing a script that builds an SQL query by concatenating the string and adding conditions to the WHERE clause as needed.
Would it be better practice to use WHERE 1=1 so that the first condition is satisfied and the script can just concatenate an AND x = 'y' to the query, or should I write the extra code to check if a clause has been added and if not, add the AND ?
Confusing question, I know. Let me know if I need to be more clear.

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to split a web service in to multiple classes and still provide a single path to the web service?
I know this isn't possible because of the duplicate url-pattern values. It sort of illustrates where we're wanting to go :)
<endpoint name="OneBigService"
implementation="SmallImpl1"
url-pattern="/OneBigService"/>
<endpoint name="OneBigService"
implementation="SmallImpl2"
url-pattern="/OneBigService"/>
Basically, how do avoid having one monolithic @WebService class?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'd like to find out a way to enumerate all available wifi networks using Java 6.0 and any third-party API.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to find a solution to this problem, all I got is a library that I can't use because I don't have any example.
I'll be very pleased if someone could help me.
The target platform is Win XP/7.
Edit: the library I found is named jwlanscan

I am needing to upgrade MYSQL on Ubuntu, it is a production server and naturally cautious.
My many googles look to be essentially saying that I need to :
1) Backup my current mysql database and tables/data
2) Uninstall current mysql
3) Install new MYSQL 5+
4) Restore Databases/ tables and data
5) Hope and Pray I got it right ??
Something doesn't seem right, sounds like a lot of down time and risk
Am I missing something / or any simple solutions?
Upgrading from mSQL 4 to 5 on Ubuntu 10

I look for a way to display a route in a fancy way using the Cloudmade service.
Currently, I can see computed routes like on this tutorial http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/web-maps-lite/examples/routing, but I look for a fancier way to do it -- without A and B tags, and with colors, etc.
Is this possible ?
Thanks for your help

Hi all,
I would like to display the gallery item the user clicked on in full screen, however, only if it is the item in the center.
If the clicked item is not in the center I would want it just to be centered.
Any idea how to distinguish the item which is currently in the center from all other items?
Thanks, Rob

Im using a jquery slider and having an issue with what direction it scrolls on click. It seems to screw up after clicking the right arrow then left, but will scroll left if clicked first, weird. Is this a bug or am I missing something here? PS- Im using Chrome (Mac) but seems to behave the same with Firefox and Safari
See example

Our office XP computer crashed this afternoon. I know that we had Norton Ghost doing regular backups on an external hard drive. My question is how do you restore from that backup?
PS. When I plug in the external drive into my own Windows 7 machine it has two folders:
- 9c590f17be2ef53d13bb00be2a
- Norton Backups
I can't open the first one (it says I don't have permissions) but the second one contains a bunch of files with the .v2i extension.
Any help would be appreciated?
Has anyone been successful at launching an instance of Windows Explorer in the SYSTEM account on Windows Vista or 7? It is possible to do this on XP, but I haven't been able to get it to completely work in Vista or 7.
Trying to launch Explorer as SYSTEM into session 1 (my user session) results in Explorer exiting immediately and returning an error code of 1.
I can launch Explorer as SYSTEM into session 0 with the following command:
psexec -i 0 -s explorer
That will create an instance of explorer running as SYSTEM with a taskbar and start menu on the hidden session 0 desktop, but won't let you open a file browser window. If you switch to the hidden session 0 desktop and try to open an Explorer window from there to browse files, the following error message appears:
"The server process could not be started because the configured identity is incorrect. Check the username and password."
I have set the following registry key to 1 for my user account and the SYSTEM account:
\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\SeparateProcess
There has got to be a way to make this work? If it is not possible, can anyone explain why?

I'm using an external hard drive, a Western Digital MyBook 1TB of some sort with eSATA on an eSATA II ExpressCard adapter from Belkin on Windows Vista 32-bit.
The issue I'm having is that after a while power management kicks in and puts the hard drive to sleep. When I resume my work and browse the drive, for example, the Explorer hangs and while I can still use my other apps, it takes a couple minutes for it to realize it should wake up the drive and recommence work.
What's going on?
I am using an EloTouch touchscreen on a minimal Ubuntu 10.04 installation. I have a bare Xserver running without any desktop environment, just an xterm. The touchscreen is working great, but there is still one small problem. As soon as the touchscreen goes to standby, it is not coming out of standby when touching the screen. Using a keyboard or mouse does get it out of standby though.
I am looking for any hints or directions to a cause of this problem. Is this an x.org configuration problem? A driver problem? Is this a known problem with touchscreens in general?
Any pointers are welcome. The driver I am using is an unreleased EloTouch driver (3.5.0). I received it through a reseller who can not give me any technical information unfortunately.
I am trying to define a mapping for Ctrl+. as follows:
map <C-.> :bn<CR>
This does not work. Typing Ctrl+. just results in repeating the last action just as you would get when typing .. Note that I do not want to change the behaviour of .. Any idea how to get this to work?
Switching to and from insert mode in Vim is no longer instantaneous since I use tmux. After pressing Esc in insert mode, it takes a noticeable amount of time to actually get out of insert mode. After pressing Esc and any other key afterwards the switch is immediate, and the command for the key pressed after Esc is executed. Any idea what might cause this?
The Vim configuration is not the problem as the delay does not occur when I run Vim outside tmux, so this is probably related to tmux somehow. I use gnome-terminal btw.
Also worth noting, it seems I can not define key bindings in tmux for Esc, my plan was to bind Esc to:
bind Escape send-keys ^[
Alas, it seems binding anything to Esc for tmux does not work. The same problem occurs in screen as well.
In Firefox forward slash is mapped to quick find. Is it possible to let forward slash behave the same in Google Chrome as in Firefox? To find a link and follow it in a page in Google Chrome I now have to type:
Ctrl + F, <search query>, ESC, Enter
In Firefox this is:
/, <search query>, Enter
Not being able to use forward slash to find in page has been a real show-stopper for me as I use it all the time in Firefox to browse documentation.
In Windows 7, when my laptop comes back from standby, my external mouse and keyboard cannot be used to "login" or "unlock" my station. Once I'm logged in again, they are recognized and work properly.
Is this a security feature that I can turn off?
Update: My laptop is a Dell XPS-1330M, and the keyboard is made by Dell. The mouse is a simple Microsoft mouse.
