What is the best choice for webcam video/image capture under Mac OSX with C/C++? It seems that Apple recommended QTKit, but it is a Objective-C library. Any sample code to do the job?
I have googled a bit for how I should handle security in a web service application when the application is basically the data repository for a Silverlight application, but have gotten inconclusive results.
The Silverlight application is not supposed to have its own user authentication, since it will be reachable only through a web application that…
Hi,
I am running Mac OSX 10.5.8. I installed matplotlib using macports. I get some examples from the matplotlib gallery like this one, without modification:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/unicode_minus.html
I run it, get no error, but the picture does not show up. In Linux Ubuntu I get it.
Do you know what could be wrong here?

I consider a self-described / auto-descriptive service as a good thing in a SOA architecture, since (almost) everything you know to call the service is present in the service contract (such a WSDL).
Sample of a non self-described service for me is Facebook Query Language (FQL http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/FQL), or any web service…
I'm using some code to build up tables using JQuery, but in Firefox 3.5.3 on Mac OSX, the table cells all appear on separate lines by themselves, instead of in their respective rows. Chrome 5.0.342.7 beta on OSX correctly produces the table, as does Safari 4.0.5.
Here is a minimal reproduction case:

Thanks in advance,

Say you have a SQL Server 2008 database. You build a SOAP web service. You then deploy or publish this using Visual Studio 2010 in one website. Now, using the same database, you build a REST web service, in a different solution. You deploy this on another website.
Can you consume the endpoints and/or .svc file of both the SOAP and…
Those that have followed my blogs for a while may know that I have a slightly banal interest in Windows Live and, more specifically, the Live Services developer platform'; if that doesn’t sound interesting to you then stop reading now. My interest mainly stems from the Live Mesh technology that was announced a couple of years ago and…
Today at PASS Summit 2012 there have been several announcements during the keynote. Moreover, other news have not been highlighted in the keynote but are equally if not more important for the BI community. Let’s start from the big news in the keynote (other details on SQL Server Blog): Hekaton: this is the codename for in-memory…

This is my first MacBook and I'm trying to get virtual hosts up and running so as it's going to be my dev machine.
I've got apache/php/mysql running fine, the problem is that what ever address I go to I just get one of the virtual hosts I've setup. I can't even get to the root site anymore.
I had phpmyadmin setup on…

Recently I was tasked to create an SSIS application that will query a database, split the results with certain criteria and create CSV file for every result and upload the file to a Sharepoint Document Library site. I've search the web and compiled the steps I've taken to build the solution.
Summary:
A) Create…

Hello,
using the stsadm command I have been able to export a MOSS website and restore it on a different server which works fine.
I tried the same for the shared services, it gave no errors, but it does not have all the import connections when I check around.
Is there a better way to export and restore…
I've just upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and PECL is no longer working (it's on a test drive so no drama, but I'd like to get it working so I can upgrade the OS on my shiny new SSD as well).
I'm using the native PHP installation, no macports/homebrew or anything like that.
Running sudo pecl install…

I had thought that the keyboard layout would be applied for all users when I added it to mine but alas no.
I cannot get into the Users\\library\keyboard layouts
folder, as it won't let me (but I'm an admin FFS!)
I even went…
In my previous post I discussed creating the database and tables for the Silverlight HVP configuration data. All that was great, and worked just dandy until it was time to get the data from the database server to the application running on the client. But, I thought, How hard can it…
I'm having issues mounting an NFS share I've made on my Mac host (server) from a Centos VM (client). I'm getting a permission denied error.
I have this line in /etc/exports on server:

and in /etc/fstab on client:

I am testing out running an SSH server on a local Windows VM.
I have installed FreeSSHd and set the command shell to "c:\cygwin\bin\sh --login -i" (bash as well) with "Use new console engine" unchecked. (When it was enabled no output would show through the ssh connection anyway)
