• Smart Device Development Comparing 2 images

Any help would b greatful. Thanx in advance.   Ilya Tumanov wrote: You need to compare image sizes. If not the same, images are different. Then compare all pixels one by one. If they are not the same, images are different. Of course it works only for identical images, won't work for similar images. If you figure out how to compare two similar images reliably, I would suggest filing for a patent immediately as current methods (probably also patented) are not that good.  could ...Show All

• .NET Development Enlisting an Oracle database connection throws an AccessViolationException

  Hi, I use .NET 2.0, Oracle Express Edition 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1), and System.Data.OracleClient. I wrote a resource manager that implements System.Transactions.IEnlistmentNotification.

• SQL Server Is lineage more trouble than it's worth?

  Very often during dev. I add processes that don't change the metadata of a data item (for example a new sort) yet the linieage id is changed.  This causes lots of headaches down the pipe.  If metadata of a data item is not changed in the pipe, why is the lineage id changed If lineage is not smart enough to figure out when some metadata was actually changed, should it be made smart enough   Or optional Ken kenambrose wrote: <<the column in the output is not the same column as in the input>> I guess it depends on your definition of "the same". If a column has exactly the same name and type, to me it is "the same". The fact that behind the scenes, way down in the bow ...Show All

  I am having a small problem. I have TWO search boxes on my browser.. One for Google toolbar, and the one that was originally there on IE7... I set my default to google.

• Architecture To Pranshu (slightly off topic)

  Hi Forum Does it make any sense to build a design that supports more than one physical seperation. I'm making a web application and I need to make it secure and scalable. I can see an idea in making it possible to physically seperate the presentation layer from the business layer. You can put the presentation layer in a DMZ.
