ResetWMI nukes the WMI cache to fix problems in which the cache becomes corrupt. From a cursory skim of the KB article (disclaimer: I did not read it very carefully), it seems that the problem there is with messages polluting the event log and a way to disable those specific messages. These are two ...

Sandy Bridge, definitely. There's no reason to even consider Clarkdale.

1) Far better onboard graphics (if you use that)
2) AVX
3) Future-proof; 1156 is a dead end and can't be ugpraded
4) Various architectural improvements
5) Slightly better power efficiency

I moved to Windows 7 on every box except my main one. I love every aspect of Windows 7 except for how they totally f*cked up Explorer (and it's not just a matter of appearances, which I honestly don't care much about, but there are a number of actual usability regressions!). It's a pity, since I lik...

New timezone hotfixes have been published on the DST blog http://blogs.technet.com/b/dst2007/ The story behind the Turkish move (of only one day!) is quite amusing.

As a physicist you should be more concerned with significant digits than a processor's precision . The datum of lowest mathematical precision determines a calculation's usable accuracy. In this case, fast yet less accurate results are still usable as long as it's accurate to the least significant d...

same given precision There are two definitions of "precision" here. The first is simply the bit count. A 32-bit floating point number, naturally, has less precision and less range than a 64-bit floating point number. The other definition of precision is an algorithmic one, usually dealing with accu...

The answer is I used win7 notepad. Just reproduced it in WinXP notepad. So I suppose win7 notepad do some more actions in addition to calling IsTextUnicode because notepad2 fails(which is an example that directly calls IsTextUnicode) Indeed, Notepad in Windows 7 is different. Specifically, after it...

code65536

With the test string that you provided, I can reliably reproduce the problem in both Notepad (WinXP) and my last Notepad2 build. I wonder if NP behaves differently for different default locales. In any case, NP2's Unicode detection is implemented entirely using Microsoft's IsTextUnicode API.

code65536

I also noticed a mysterious issue today: Windows Notepad does the exact same same thing. This is because both NP and NP2 uses the Unicode detection heuristics built into Windows . There are several well-known test strings that cause the heuristics to fail in Notepad, and they will fail in the same ...

I suggest that only because it is no longer listed as an Active Project on http://code.kliu.org/ . It had never been listed there; none of the things under "misc" are listed under "Active Projects".

I vote for "neither". Real life always has a habit of getting in the way of our projects. You get a cookie.

There has to be a chain of trust from one of the root certificates in order for a certificate to be trusted.
