Trying to prevent webscraping itself is a folly -- a computer put your web ... .
Mod_evasive can block people who neglect to add in a sleep routine and flood your servers .
Provide a sensible API , and heavily hint at guidelines for acceptable web scraping .

I guess he was getting tired of Euro flopping.
You can definitely tell on the last view that he purposely stomped him .
It's not that hard to step over a guy.
Dirty and on purpose.

I'm looking for an easy way to build an array of strings at compile time. For a test, I put together a class named Strings that has the following members:
Strings(); Strings(const Strings& that); Strings(const char* s1); Strings& operator=(const char*...

E.g., the same way that you can write:
int a=3, b=4
It seems to me that you are essentially writing:
Strings s="... .
I think that the comma in your second example is not the comma operator but rather the grammar element for multiple variable declarations .

Coming from Sourcesafe, I have primarely been using git as a major undo feature. I tend to work in the master branch, code happily away for some time, commit here and there and move on.
While I'm coding my brains out, I sometimes wish to drop what I'm...

Edit: If you need to go back further than HEAD, you can always do a git checkout specifying the start point to get a new branch starting from any given commit in master .
Check out git-stash.

I see a lot of questions, both here on SO and elsewhere, about "maintaining common libraries in a VCS". That is, projects foo and bar both depend on libbaz, and the questioner is wondering how they should import the source for libbaz into the VCS for ...

The use of vendor branches to control 3rd party dependencies is discussed in some depth in the Subversion book .

MSDN advises that RegisterWindowMessage() function is only used for registering messages to be sent between the processes. If a message is needed for sending within one process it can be safely selected from the range WM_APP through 0xBFFF.
However in...

Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at stackoverflow):
IMHO there is no valid reason to use RegisterWindowMessage if you are only sending messages to yourself
There is no (documented) way to un-register a message, so after your app quits, that registered message will stay in the atom table until reboot/logoff... .

GUIDs are typically used for uniquely identifying all kinds of entities - requests from external systems, files, whatever. Work like magic - you call a "GiveMeGuid()" (UuidCreate() on Windows) function - and a fresh new GUID is here at your service.

Some implementations of GUID....
It depends.
Not that it really invites you to do so, which is one of the characteristics around Guid's that I really like .
The only way I can see of misusing a Guid is trying to interpret the value in some logical manner .

Hello.
I need to parse a xml file which is practically an image of a really big tree structure, so I'm using the XmlReader class to populate the tree 'on the fly'. Each node is passed just the xml chunk it expects from its parent via the ReadSubtree()...

For example....
This might be important if the code you pass the subtree to thinks it is getting a standalone xml document .
This new reader appears to consumers as a complete document .
ReadSubTree() gives you an XmlReader that wraps the original XmlReader .

Hello,
I think understand the definition of State / Interaction based testing (read the Fowler thing, etc). I found that I started state based but have been doing more interaction based and I'm getting a bit confused on how to test certain things.

What matters most is that your API does what you want it to, and that is what you need to test .
I agree.
I think Roy Osherove recently twitted that as a rule of thumb, your tests should be 95 percent state-based and 5 percent interaction-based .
