Confidentiality is not ownership.
Things that you explicitelly develope for them, OK.
Snippets that you own before working for them, should not be affected.
Things that are everyday functions is just not possible... they don't own "hello world", "foo", "boo", the .Net Framework or the windows API.

yes... those should be 2 separate documents, but their lawyer made a strange mix there...

and I'm not worried about confidentiality... but for being able to reuse code in the future...

As others said...
Before pasting your functions to their project... CTRL+H (find and replace) and use var1, var2 and so on...

And when they ask about it just look at them with a mad man look and say "who is the crazy one now hu? hu?"

Hi All,
The dratted Win 8 or Win Hate as it was dubbed, I would have thought it was dead and buried. However someone in Site Data has to use Win 8 as the program, drivers won't work on Win 10? First I have heard of Win 10 playing up with Win 8... Any other known issues I have missed?

Did they increase so much the version number that they needed to write as 8! ?

Oh thanks, you reminded me I have to adjust age. F$(k.
Also either my Doom code is wrong or the interpretation is because I got up to custom WADs, but never created them. And I love role playing.

I used the translator, obviously. Did you put it up together with a tool, or "manually" ?
|
|

Completely manually and I think the translator is the problem at this point. Probably uses another version of Geekcode?
I see on the salvaged page that:

I've written and published my own gaming materials.
Given these I would dismiss that translator

history repeats!
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

Well then "someone in Site Data" (whatever that means) needs to be made aware that Win8 (as in 8.0, I assume) is no longer under support from MS, like Vista and XP. If MS won't provide bug fixes or security updates for it, why should third-parties?
That's why your documentation should have a Requirements section.
|
|
|
|
|
Sadly it's due to the attitude of Management & Customers who wont pay for an upgrade! It gets upgraded when it fails. (Site Data are a group that sit opposite me they provide Data to allow the systems to react to dynamic load)

You need to make your updates more expensive to produce, test and deliver than OS upgrades (which they probably are already...)
|
|
|
|
|
Well I am not in charge, the Goverment foots the bill!
|
|
|
|
|
So, make sure you charge 'em to make it worth your while  Are you an employee, or a contractor?

Sadly Employee of the people who the ministry get to blame when they are too cheap!
