I have a 1920x1200 screen an would like to customize VS2008 code windows to have some areas split vertically and horizontally (tab groups).
I can only seem to do all vertical or all horizontal in VS2008. Is there any crafty way of getting a mixing both? |

Assuming you already have a Coordinate class, add a hash function and maintain a hash_set of the coordinates.

One thing that I found really confusing in modern vi (vim?) is the input mode that allows for some, but not all features of command mode.

Sounds to me like you shouldn't use Flex at all. Flex is great for writing applications that load and display data, but is a huge overhead if you just want to display charts.

it's the special table in Oracle. I often use it for calculation or checking system variable. For example;

- "Select sysdate from dual" prints the server current date. |
One way would be to periodically recycle your storage media, i.e. read data off the decaying medium and write it to a fresh one. There exist programs to assist you with this, e.g. [dvdisaster][1]. In the end, nothing lasts forever. Just pick the least annoying solution.
As for #2: you can store data in encrypted for... |
I think Option 2 works well enough if you have the write backup mechanisms in place. They need not be expensive ones involving a third-party, either (except for disaster recovery).
A RAID 5 configured server would do the trick. If a hard drive fails, replace it. It is HIGHLY unlikely that all the hard drives will fail... |
It is a dummy table with one element in it. It is useful because Oracle doesn't allow statements like
SELECT 3+4
You can work around this restriction by writing
SELECT 3+4 FROM DUAL
instead.
|
It's a object to put in the from that return 1 empty row. For example:
select 1 from dual;
returns 1
select 21+44 from dual;
returns 65
select [sequence].nextval from dual;
returns the next value from the sequence. |
The Application.OnException event handler can be assigned to catch all exceptions that aren't handled by other exception handlers.

You can easily define a comparator for a one-level `std::map`, so that lookup becomes way less cumbersome. There is no reason of being afraid of that. The comparator defines an ordering of the _Key template argument of the map. It can then also be used for the multimap and set collections.
An example:
