No problems with your ISP, this was my bad. The correct link was in fact http://www.codeproject.com/redir.aspx?adid=11511. The HTML version of the survey email contained both a link to the survey and a link to CP. Just to be cheeky I decided to track the CP link on the HTML email. On the TEXT version of the email, I did not track the CP link as it would have looked weird. But like an idjut, I pasted the CP tracker instead of the survey tracker. I blame the flu...

Hi,
I am using some code from an excellent article by Jean-Paul Mikkers on parsing the IE favorites folder [^].
In the download files for that article there is no copyright statement or CPOL statement (no stand-alone, no content embedded in any of the project files).
It is not my intention to use this code in a commercial project now, although I understand that option is fine under CPOL.
I've read the CPOL license carefully and I'm wondering if there is any obligation to include in your source something like the following when the code you are "borrowing" does not include any specific CPOL statements :
I would do this in any case, simply for the sake of internal documentation (changes I might make to the internals of any methods or field names in the "borrowed" code I would document before the declarations of their classes or methods).
Anyway, I'm just curious what "fair play" practice is in cases like these, and I do understand there is another set of issues that would arise were I to want to distribute the actual source (the question of the fact that unless I obfuscated my code, someone could probably resurrect the source from the compiled bits ... well, who can deal with that one ?).
best, Bill
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

Sorry for the delay in replying - just back from holidays.
There is no explicit requirement that you include in your source that type of wording, but there is a requirement that you make your end users aware of the license the code is under when using the CPOL. Having text such as you suggested is an excellent way of doing this.

Greetings.
While I think the option to "vote to remove message" works quite well, it sometimes doesn't encourage people to think what they post.
There are a few ones, who I frequently see (especially in the Lounge) who have about 80% of their posts removed. Whats more, they gain reputation quite rapidly just by posting crap 
I propose two extensions to voting system:
1. If a user have many of his messages removed in short time (10 messages in 3 days?), he gets temporary ban for a few days(a week?). By a ban I mean inability to post anything or vote.
2. Messages automatically removed shouldn't count for reputation.
I'm aware that such system could result in "revenge ban wars", but it may also encourage some people to just care what they post...

In theory this sounds nice but nothing prevents that 'banned' user from creating a new account and just continue his crap postings.

No, but probably the new account will be banned in the same manner. I'm not talking about permanent bans - however it may be also considered for frequently banned accounts, or temporary accounts, that will not be used for some time after unlock - just to not garbage users database.
The aim is to send message to trolls: "we don't like that kind of posts, please consider changing your style". And to not allow people gain reputation just by posting crap which is removed anyway.

The trolls you're refering to are incapable.

I have posted some blog articles in CP but "View entire blog here" link is not working for articles taken from blogger.

Sorry about that Arun. Another member reported this problem earlier this week and we were able to fix it locally. We'll try to get the changes out to codeproject.com as soon as possible.
Thanks,

Casting operators like dynamic_cast, static_cast etc.. are not getting colored.
|
|
|
|
|
safecast dynamic_cast static_cast __try_cast const_cast safecast reinterpret_cast
They seem fine to me...

Not sure. Can you take a look at this[^] message? You can see dynamic_cast is not colored.
|
|
|
|
|
You needed to add a "lang=C++" attribute to the PRE tag.
Done and fixed.

Thanks. But if no language attribute specified, default will be C++ colorization, right?
|
|
|
|
|
Default is C#. I just realised our FAQ states it's C++ but it's been C# for years. Will update today.

I don't think so, see my little experiment here[^].

I only read code that is properly indented, and rendered in a non-proportional font; hint: use PRE tags in forum messages

Hi,
I'm this guy:
http://www.codeproject.com/Members/cazic72[^]
but some years ago I had the following account:
http://www.codeproject.com/Members/Kasimier[^]
I cannot delete this account, because the e-mail I address I provided was
the e-mail address at a specific company at that time. I neither do know
the e-mail address, nor my password at that time.
It would be great if this account could be deleted, since I didn't set my profile
at that time and this could lead to some confusion (no I'm not a web-developer
and no I'm not living in the USA, as stated in that obsolete profile).
Regards,
Kasimier
