A friend of mine that owns a speed shop wants to have a car show where cars are awarded trophies based on popular vote (instead of being judged). I was thinkin' on it and figured it would be relatively simple to allow people to vote with their phones using QR codes. The QR codes would be encoded to got to a website that casts their vote. Easy-peasy. No voting slips to count, no awkward writing on said slips. Just take a photo and bingo!
I was writing code for work, and wanted to generate some docs based on the XML comments. I found ImmuDoc but the docs it generates aren't easily used in a Word document, so I've started wiring a new WPF app called DocuMentor that will do give the programmer the ability to generate docs on one or more selected assemblies, and target either MS Word or HTML format (my boss wants the docs in Word format).
Of course, there's my SQL Agent service, and an app that will resize all images in a folder, and then transfer them to a web site, and my wife wants a slide-show app for her next board meeting that plays music, videos, and displays images (fortunately, I have something like this already written).
I'm gonna be busy at home for months.

There is nothing that current allows you to choose what format to generate the docs, plus I have very specific needs.

SHFB lets you choose one or more formats to generate:
- HTML Help 1 (
.chm) - MS Help Viewer (
.mshc) - Open XML (
.docx) - Website (HTML / ASP.NET)
- MS Help 2 (
.hxs, deprecated)
Without knowing what your special needs are, I can't guarantee that it would meet them, but I'd be inclined to give it a go before deciding to roll your own.

But lots of IP and/or Mac address and/or social-network-ID checking, because certain tiny minds think it's clever and/or important to "cheat", thereby depriving the system of any value at all.

Well, I have something working. It uses a QR Reader app to scan the QR code, which is coded to take the user to a URL. The web page creates a file for every vote, and the file name contains the IP address of the voter. I'm hoping this works to uniquely ID each voter to mitigate multiple votes from the same person for the same car. If that works, I can use the IP to only allow the last three votes cast by a person as well. That will control how many cars a person can vote for.
I've already tested the basic QR Code reading/vote casting part, so all I have to do now is see if I can control how many votes are cast.

Sounds good.
I doubt that many people there would have the ability to spoof IP addresses while at an event, even if they were willing spend the time doing it (and miss out on stuff), so it should be enough for a clean fight.

So, whatever you may think of Trevor Noah, please be aware that not all South Africans are into bringing on the downfall of the US. Some are still fighting the good fight, like South Africans Against Dagga[1] and Satan[^].

When someone is against Satan, he is actually fighting for something that doesn't need you to fight it. Can you fight Satan? No you can't. You ignore Satanic offers and so on. As far as these drugs are concerned, I don't see any solid reason for you to take them... Is someone forcing you? If you take it, you take it because you take it, no reason behind it.
Instead of fighting Satan, if we should fight against Rape, Corruption, Religious hatred, Poverty... At least I believe, there would be a lot of good results of these causes. Satan? Humanity has been fighting (or maybe that's what it told me) Satan since it was born, and he is still alive. Maybe our weapons are not strong enough.

That website cannot be serious?! My response will only be suitable if I post it in the Back Room, but nobody ever goes there.

Hello all,
Soon I'll have to go to a customer's site and I know they'll give me one Wifi password to connect one device into their Internet capable network.
Usually I connect my laptop (so I can get y e-mails, Skype and check help from forums and from the online resources), but all the guys that will come with me won't have internet connection (electricians and mechanic engineers).
I've thought on using a software that would allow me to share my wifi internet connection using my latop as a hotspot for free.
CUSTOMER WIFI NETWORK <-> LAPTOP <-> somehow the laptop should be able to start a hosted network.
The idea here would be to use a program that would use the wifi connection on my latop to share it using the same wifi card and at the same time, giving internet connection to the same laptop.
Do you know of any free tool that would do this?
I've tried:
It seemed the hosted network could not get started...
Any hint? I would not mess the laptop wifi to the pont of render it useless... 
As always thank you in advance!

No idea if you can do this but:
If I where in your position I'd connect my phone (nokia lumia 800).
It has this functionality built in.
K the connection speed might suffer a bit but...
Other than that I wouldn't directly know.

Not mine... as far as I know Samsung Galaxy S4 can't do that... 
I don't want to share my 4G connection, I want to share the already hooked Wifi connection which is what is not possible...

Yes, it can share the 3G or 4G data connection, which is as easy as what can be seen in the youtube link you've attached, but I'm not interested on that, I want to share the WIFI signal:
your links suggest:
3/4G --> TETHERING ON > HOTSPOT ACTIVE < wifi clients ready to connect
what I want is:
AVAILABLE WIFI with only one possible user protected by code --> MY LAPTOP/PHONE CONNECTED TO IT > HOTSPOT ACTIVE < wifi clients ready to connect
It is different...
In my Galaxy S4 If I activate the hotspot the WIFI gets automatically disconnected as the network card is not capable to be working as client and as server at the same time...
