I think that is the hardest part.
A tailored licence is probably good to have, but I hope that it remains as "default among peers". One think that makes CP stick out is that the whole community is very relaxed about licensing -noone will "attack" you for whatever license you choose. (Well, almost  )
We are a big screwed up dysfunctional psychotic happy family - some more screwed up, others more happy, but everybody's psychotic joint venture definition of CP

Chris,
Not to say anything wrong about the Editor's Choice[^]article, the article uses DrawDraw which as been removed since DirectX 8. Using DirectDraw and host of workaround things done by this article can be easily done by new apis provided by DirectX 8 onwards.
So this article is not the right first step (now) for DirectX learners to do 2d drawing.

A good article doesn't always have to reflect the latest and greatest. We tend to pick good articles randomly whenever we see cool stuff. One of us has probably already picked a new contender for the MFC editor's pick by now...

A good article is a good article if its old or new or outdated, but a editors choice article should be a usefull article. Whith the current editor's choice, anyone who is starting to learn directx will find himself going in the wrong direction and a good directx dev may not read that at all, coz its a introduction tutorial to directx and it introduces directx 7 stuff.
Yes, it is a good article, I have spend a lot of time on that article, but none of them is usefull with directX 8 onwards.

... on home page for 'Last 10 Updates' and 'Latest Beginner's Articles', as is already done for 'Latest Best Picks'.

Nope. Articles new enough to appear in the latest 10 haven't been there (in general) long enough to get a representative sample of unbiased votes. I'd rather present them on their own merits, unencumbered by a rating. At least for the 12 hrs they appear in that list.

A good point, however the 'Latest Best Picks' shows the number of votes.
I'm suggesting you leave it to the user to determine if a score of 2 with 3 votes has any meaning.
To me showing the score and number of votes _is_ unbiased.
From what i've seen, articles that receive a 1 or 2, or a 4 or 5 with only a couple of votes generally aren't too far off the mark.
I made the suggestion based on that observation; having gone in to look at many articles over the years, only to see they were useless and noticed they would have a 1 or 2.

It would be nice to have the ability to fold a <pre> block so that lengthy runs of code can be bypassed by the reader if desired, and un-folded by clicking on a '+' or an image.

I second that.

Why does it make me nervous when I see you post that?

Because you know how much i enjoy scripting. 
What's scary for me is stepping back and realizing that i've been working 12-17hr days the past couple weeks, trying to get automated integration testing and crash analysis systems up and running, just so i can free up more time to spend playing with javascript...

IE only: sample folding[^].
Is that kinda vaguely what you're after? IF so I'll slap a cross browser version into shape once my laptop's recharged.

Yes, it's very close!
I am used to clicking on the plus/minus sign, but your sample does not allow that - a very minor nit.
Are you thinking about some threshold size? i.e., don't show fold caption if less than N lines? Or maybe having two flavors of PRE block?
Thanks for the fast response. Now lets see, where did I put my CP wishlist.....

If you want the boxes to initiate folding you have to upgrade to Code Folding Enterprise. You must upgrade from Code Folding Standard to Code Folding Enterprise - you cannot upgrade from normal, non Code Folding directly to Code Folding Enterprise. That would be a breach of the EULA.
(IOW this was a proof of concept. I'll fix!)

Cool!
Now, the next thing on my CP wishlist is... black t-shirts with Bob logo.

I'd like the ability to suspend an article with immediate effect. This would be important for legal reasons, so you can sort out the legally of the article, then either keep pulled, are release the article if all is well.

Please remove the feature that prevents us from saving code project pages to our machines, I am a consultant and I often need to bring code project files to clients without internet connections (sometimes remotes sites) and this is a real inconvenient.

Seems to work perfectly fine for me (Firefox browser). I can save forum pages, articles and the main page.
_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??
(doesn't work on NT)

You are correct. The "printable" worked for me....
Thanks
