Are there any other IDEs worth my time for Lotus Notes development? We're doing mostly LotusScript development and would kill for features of Eclipse or Visual Studio, like "Show Declaration".

This has been asked so many times. Take a look at this for example: [Setting the ControlToValidate on a Validator](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1001222/setting-the-controltovalidate-on-a-validator/1001270#1001270)
Viewstate is restored before the page load event, and therefore dynamic controls need to be loaded and added to the page before the page load event or their state won't be restored as you expect. Do it in the Init event instead.

Basically, whatever goes for your leading foot, should go for the other. We're talking about technique, control, building up muscles but also balance.

From my experience, best exercise is just sit down, concentrate, turn on the metronome (or the song, no matter what you prefer) and start practising, firstly get comfortable with normal tempos like 16th notes on 80-90 BPM and the move up, this takes time to build regular feet speed and consistency. After that you can p...

There's not that much difference actually, as you can always compile the exe as a static library and link against the unit tests. Conceptually, Method A is slightly cleaner, but there's nothing preventing you from using Method B. It basically boils down to your build system what is easier to do.
I don't think you'll gain much by moving the classes of your application to a static library. You should also consider that you may want to modify your classes when you compile them for testing, for example by adding additional convenience methods that are not necessary for the application, so in the end putting the cl...

It's probably a modified Base 64 representation of a GUID. (Common Base 64 implementations include problem characters for URLs).
They use this ID to prevent people from farming/spamming the videos by simply incrementing a number.

Yes I think you should log them in automatically. It'll be even more annoying if they have to verify their email and then log in again. What's the point of the verification then? If the verification is successful that means you already trust them, so log them in.

Based on personal experience, I'd say the 55-250 is best from 55-135mm and then the performance does drop off from there to 250mm.

The advantages of a WAR package are largely the same as for JARs. These include: * The package can be digitally signed to ensure its authenticity. * The package is compressed, so easier to store and deploy. * The package can hold data about it's contents, such as vendor and version information.

Why don't one just put files in a sub directory under webapps directory? Are there any advantages of WAR in server performance?

[ "https://Stackoverflow.com/questions/9789120", "https://Stackoverflow.com", "https://Stackoverflow.com/users/632082/" ]
The advantages of a WAR package are largely the same as for JARs. These include: * The package can be digitally signed to ensure its authenticity. * The package is compressed, so easier to store and deploy. * The package can hold data about it's contents, such as vendor and version information.

From a technical standpoint proof is really hard. Anyone can print up a fancy looking diploma on nice paper, so a diploma is not really proof. Similarly a dishonest student could produce fraudulent letters of reference. Even if the university independently found the contact information for the school, got in touch wit...

You cannot "convert" Windows to 32 bit. You will have to do a reinstall of the OS with a 32 bit media.
you cant convert a program from 32 to 64 or inverse by yourself. but most 32bit programs runs on 64bit OS . if a 32bit program cant load on a 64bit OS you need find a 64bit version of that program. anyway the 64bit OS is more powerful and faster that 32bit OS if you have more that 4GB RAM. so do not downgrade your OS 6...

I'd just like to add to this thread that I've been using the Entity Framework v4 with a POCO model generated using the C# POCO Generator in production (for about six months), and it's been working very well. There are a [few catches](http://www.sanderstechnology.com/?p=10142) when using them with WCF services though,...

Of the population of the areas of Ukraine, now occupied by Russia, where ballots are being conducted, what percentage speak Russian - as opposed to Ukrainian - as their first language?

Almost all of them used either Russian language or Surzhik (a collection of wild varieties of Russian-Ukrainian mix or Ukrainian dialects without stable written form) when they were born. These areas do not have reservoirs of native Ukrainian speakers, as explained by the following map: [![Ukraine: languages spoken at...
[According](https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-ukraine-elections-sham/32047316.html) to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Russia plans to hold votes in these regions (only using as a source because that's the best map I found) [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/MsIWq.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/...

Would it be better if the OP of a question gets a notification when a user flags their post to be closed?

I don't think it's a good idea for the OP to be notified every time their question gets flagged. This is because flags are not as accurate as close votes. If the OP's question gets a close vote, only then they should get notified. Of course, if the question is flagged for closure and the flag gets marked as helpful, t...
I agree something is broken here, but I don't think the proposed solution would work out as well as one might like. The whole point of closed questions has been, historically, to guide the user to **edit** and then subsequently **flag to reopen** (with the exception of dupes). This is how quality was controlled in the...

You can ask him, of course. But the problem with asking for too many is that you will get a general letter sent to all, rather than a letter tailored to each given position. I realize this is hard if all schools have similar deadlines, but if possible you should spread it out over time, with your professor's OK. You ...

This is a foolish proposition. You need **one** letter as *an academic reference* from a tutor or project supervisor. This testifies to your worthiness as a student - it is not a personal character reference. The original is hand-signed. You may make 16+ copies of this and send one to each of the graduate schools you...

***Note:** This technique would effectively logout the account on the first computer when logging in on a 2nd.* When a user logs in, log the session id for the user to the database or equivalent. On each page request, ensure the session id of the user matches the session id stored in the store for their account. Reque...
It depends on how in depth you want to go. Most commonly: * Create a unique session id cookie on login and saved it in the database * All web pages check the session cookie to make sure it's valid + if the session isn't valid, the user is redirected to the login page * When another user tries to log in, it overwrites...

Write out the truth table and put it through a logic minimization engine, like [Espresso](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso_heuristic_logic_minimizer). K-maps are really useful and easy for up to 4 variables, but ultimately, I think they are an educational tool to visualize how to do what Espresso does under the co...
You can produce a state machine with D-FFs and a batch of logic gates. There is nothing that demands that you use a minimization process such as can be achieved through the use of a K-map. The thing that happens if you do not do a minimization process is that you use more logic gates than necessary and invariably those...

Such a question is hard to answer, because it depends on various things. Do you always pass through to the manager, or can you intercept the enquiry and deal with it?

**"Can I help you sir/madam?"** is appropriate anywhere: anyone answering a business telephone call, shop assistants, etc. And, of course, you can also ask... **"Mr Smith from...?
