This is fascinating to me. Unfortunately, the code in the archive I downloaded doesn't run. Someone has broken it.
-edit- I got a recent commitment, plus the two original archives and they are all broken. I guess I'll try the latest one since it is newer than the one I got.

There is an exe listed in the article

Yes, there is. Two different versions too and they both do the same thing. The window is visible when maximized but only the title bar is visible otherwise.

You must be using a chinese-hacked version of windows. :-P

The exe in this zip[^] worked fine for me. Both normal and maximized.

After some gyrations, I got it to work. It seems all of the window settings were weird so I had to do a bunch of resizing and I see it now. Finally. Thanks.
-edit- actually, this is rather embarrassing. It seems that it was working all along but it came up with the windows really weird - a client area height of zero so only the title bar was visible. I had never seen an app do that so it caught me by surprise. The splitters were all set to one edge too so they had to be adjusted to see the full views. It turns out that the version of the source I downloaded (and hacked on a bit) works too, after all of that.

I've had a couple programs that only showed a title bar, and were only 200 px wide under various occasions. Glad you got it figured out!

You can add advanced data storage features in only a few lines of code. Consider using one of these APIs to extend your applications and save yourself time. I spell data access 'S-Q-L', except when it's spelled, 'D-A-T-A-A-C-C-E-S-S'

Just happened to one of our customers, when one of the staff inserted a USB stick from home and being impatient, used his admin right to bypass virus check... Now they have no system... even backup storage attacked...

Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize how business transactions take place. I'm going to go with "no" on that one, but YMMV

Quote: Protecting your data with passwords is considered safe and a very common method which is used by every internet user. However, hackers can still attack your computer by cracking your password and stealing your personal information. This is not the case with blockchain technology because this latest innovation uses enhanced security measures like encryption technology to protect your data from online threats.
*checks to see if this was published on 1st April*

This author must be right on top of things if he thinks encryption is the latest innovation in enhanced security measures. Apparently he does not realize that if encryption makes a difference it's already too late. True security would have no need for encryption because no could else would be able to see the data in the first place.

By artificially replicating the neural firing involved in correct memory formation, researchers improved memory by 35 percent I think I'll stick with Post-it notes for now, thanks

Thanks for posting this. Dr Hampson was a regular on another forum I frequent, but dropped off when real life started sucking up too much of his time. I'm glad to see his research is still progressing.

Probably a good call. Epilepsy that's only treatable surgically would suck, and the risks from sticking electrodes in your brain are still high enough that anything like this is limited to people having their heads wired for something else.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This document provides a peek into what's next for Visual Studio. It captures some of the significant features we are currently committed to, and a rough timeframe for when you can expect to see them. "We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives."
I figured I haven't used that one in quite a while. Plus, many of us almost live in VS.

Quote: It is not a comprehensive list of all new features in Visual Studio, but is intended to provide some visibility into our key investments.
This author obviously took a course on executive speak. He is getting the dialect down so he has a promising future in management.

A project that started as a joke can be useful to people wanting to learn the concepts of OpenGL. When you don't realize how much you don't need something until someone invents it
Yeah, based on the publish date I'm skeptical, but it does seem to be real (for some value of real)

RSS died. Whether you blame Feedburner, or Google Reader, or Digg Reader last month, or any number of other product failures over the years, the humble protocol has managed to keep on trudging along despite all evidence that it is dead, dead, dead. "Have you ever talked to a corpse? It's boring!"
I don't think I could do this job as poorly as I do without RSS

Out of interest Kent, what do you use as an RSS reader nowadays.
It seems that each service I use retires just as I get comfortable.
Damn google for starting the trend by shuttering Reader.

I'm pretty happy with Feedly. I've got it set up to look and work mostly like Google Reader (bastards! Philistines! How dare they cancel it!), so I'm pretty happy. I managed to get one of their lifetime Pro packages, but I'm tempted to ask them to start billing me as all the use I've had from it.

Interesting, I've been using the free version, but haven't spent much time in configuring it, so will check to see if I can get it set up more to my liking.
One thing I do seem to observe though, is that frequently it reposts articles I've already seen as unread, making it hard to focus on new announcements. With feeds like Ars Technica, this can get quite tricky.

I suspect some people may find that the NamedType class template has a nice interface but is using a somewhat heavy machinery to achieve the modest goal of strong typing. For those people, I have good news: you can achieve many of the functionalities of NamedType, with a very simple tool. I was unaware I was being charged for my data types
