I absolutely agree, A student doesn't become a good or even mediocre software engineer by sitting and listening to a lecture. It's practice and curiosity that yields the very best results, however a student will have to learn the basics, like what is a compiler/OS/protocol/authentication/etc. and how does it work.

The way you describe the how the students work at Phystech is a really great way I believe, however only the best of the best will be able to complete a study like that, and we do still need "just" good software developers (atm. less than mediocre are even used) in order to have enough employees, so it's also important to have universities that takes the level down a notch and a few really top level universities like MIT and Phystech.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 20-Oct-11 22:22pm View

A good overview

Simon Bang Terkildsen 20-Oct-11 20:23pm View

Really? Wow the only big company, in Denmark, I know of that doesn't hire a lot of interns are IBM, they only hire those who have completed their bachelor and I've heard that they heavily attempt to influence the interns choice of master thesis, which I don't like nothing wrong with saying "we have this and that project you might be interested writing about in your thesis", the intern shouldn't feel any pressure.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 20-Oct-11 20:13pm View

it is all based on probabilities
True, however you can influence it heavily. I'm considering writing an article on the subject as I wrote in the comment on my solution, as I really understand why people have these questions and a really satisfying answer is way to large to in a solution.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 20-Oct-11 19:51pm View

Very true, the reason I stated the 80% was to emphasize the fact that semi-large to large companies find it very important that you have the right personality for the team/environment you're gonna work in. And they know that you can never really assess the skill of an applicant during a 10-30 minute interview, well to some degree you can, but it's still far from accurate.

I've seen a lot of these type of questions the 2½ months I've been active here, some good some bad, but all in all it's a valid question; I remember when I applied for a job I didn't know what to expect what so ever. So I'm considering writing an article about the entire process, writing the CV, the job application, the interview and even when you get the job, so you don't end being the "coffee boy". And I would allow platinum members to edit the article in order to add some details about specific cultural differences they see/know of.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 20-Oct-11 19:30pm View

Very true there will be some cultural differences, we don't have a coffee boy either it, that wouldn't in good taste, we do however have student employees, who doesn't have much skill and they therefore doesn't get any real assignments, hell sometimes they are sent out to buy a plasma TV, a laptop, usbkey, whatever we need (e.g. like cola for me, when they are going for a smoke anyway :) )
I'm actually a student employee myself, even though I work more than full time and are paid a bit more than our other student employees, so I'm not saying all student employees everywhere is "coffee boys" :)

Simon Bang Terkildsen 20-Oct-11 18:37pm View

Agreed, no sense at all, even if it did they would soon after they hired the applicant figure out that he didn't know what it was he was talking about, and then the applicant is without a job again or reduced to coffee boy. But the coffee boy is very important! Though I like to use him to go buy some cola :)

Simon Bang Terkildsen 20-Oct-11 18:35pm View

I'll give a 4 for answering the question directly, however you cannot prepare for an interview like that.

True, though I suppose the OP might actually be asking how to handle the click events of the menu items.
In which case select a menu item in the designer and open Properties (F4) find the click event and double click it, you now have an event handler (method) in your code behind.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 19-Oct-11 10:53am View

Very true, the OP should have posted the entire property signature.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 19-Oct-11 10:47am View

The error message the OP received "StatusMessage.Message cannot be assigned to -- it is read only" indicates that StatusMessage.Message is read only, this you cannot give it a value like you suggest.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 19-Oct-11 10:46am View

huh? where do the SerializableAttribute come into the picture? it will have no effect what so ever on the OP's problem, all SerializableAttribute does is telling anyone, who is interested, that a type is serializable.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 19-Oct-11 10:43am View

wont compile you have to return some value in the case when !string.IsNullOrEmpty(statusMessage.Message) is false

Simon Bang Terkildsen 19-Oct-11 10:42am View

Thank you, Xeshan :)

Simon Bang Terkildsen 19-Oct-11 10:41am View

because you have to return a value in the case when your if statement is false as I said in my solution. If you use the getter I posted it will work, assuming you've fixed the type of the property.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 19-Oct-11 8:38am View

You're completely right I completely misunderstood the core of the question, multiple times :)

Simon Bang Terkildsen 19-Oct-11 8:27am View

and what if statusMessage is null which is the OP's problem. And why not return null or an empty string? what would you return instead?
Though I fell into that trap as well, the OP is testing statusMessage.Message but needs to test statusMessage

I've added you sql to your question and indented it, so it's at least readable, this should raise your chance of getting an answer.

Active Appearance Modeling would be the best, I believe, it's currently used for face tracking, and to track organs and foreign object in the body in the medical industry. However it's not easy to get started with, as all the information that exists about it is academic papers, so if you're not very good at mathematics you don't stand a chance.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 18-Oct-11 11:37am View

Yeah, I've seen some people detection/tracking algorithms in action on youtube and I'm impressed by the high accuracy, but the OP want to go one step further, to detect whether or not they have clothes on, well it's not even that easy they can have plenty of clothes on in a pornographic picture. To me it seems like a life long en devour that far from guarantees success.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 18-Oct-11 11:02am View

"computer vision" will also give some good results, the OpenCV library might be of interest.
That said like Dave and Albert has said, this is a massive undertaking, hell this is still an area that is being heavily researched all over the world. And you should expect to at least spend 2 years studying computer vision, before you can even start to create something that would have a decent success rate and a low false positives rate.

That's because you're trying to insert a number (integer, double, ect.) into a column that has the type BLOB.
Remember when you write VALUES(...) in your sql the values must be specified in the exact same order as your columns is defined in the table, unless you state the columns in your sql, which you don't in the posted sql.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 14-Oct-11 5:52am View

That's likely because you don't have as many columns in your table as the number of values you're trying to insert into the new row.

ok say you have a mutex which is owned by thread01 then when you call WaitForSingleObject thread02 it will not return until the mutex has been released by thread01. Once it returns the mutex is owned by thread02 if and only if the return value is WAIT_OBJECT_0 or WAIT_ABANDONED, it would return another value if it timeout or the mutex handle were closed.

As for my picture, if you were suggesting that were a game or a movie then I take offense to that too. I served in Iraq, and trust me that wasn't a game.

Dont think so much in "levels" - not all is a video game.
I take offense to that, I were not thinking in terms of games, you were.

At most it is better to have skill to solve real problems - NOT "academical issues"
Exactly having the ability to solve a given problem, you don't get that by knowing alot of different languages and frameworks. But by having a wast knowledge of different concepts and techniques.

Valid guess, my 5, however Convert.ToDateTime can cast an exception as well, DateTime.TryParse would be the method to use.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 7-Oct-11 7:38am View

Great now the code is there, now read Solution 1 by CodeHelper_PS and tell us where the exception is thrown

Simon Bang Terkildsen 7-Oct-11 7:38am View

My 5, seems the OP didn't read this before add his code dump

Simon Bang Terkildsen 7-Oct-11 7:29am View

HAHAHA, ActiveX is not something you simply say here see these three, five lines of code and then you understand it, ActiveX is a ton load of trouble and requires a lot of effort on your part to get to work correctly and reliably. If you still want to do this Google ActiveX to find educational resources.

When I say next level I mean improve the ability to solve a given problem. Learning how to write an android application while that would help getting familiar with a new framework doesn't really improve the OP's abilities.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 7-Oct-11 7:12am View

There's no error in the code
Yes there is otherwise you wouldn't get an exception, now would you?!
Post the relevant code.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 7-Oct-11 7:05am View

exactly, my 5

"Design patterns, Operating System concepts" if you like smoking illegal drugs
?!?! Am I missing something or are you saying design patterns are of no use?!
and also knowing OS concepts would get the OP to get to the next level.

My pleasure

Simon Bang Terkildsen 6-Oct-11 19:15pm View

Yeah I'm aware of that, and I expected that the OP were too

Simon Bang Terkildsen 6-Oct-11 19:12pm View

yeah, I realized that, saw your solution and deleted the answer :)
My 5

You do not state any problem or question.

Ah ok, I don't what topics has been covered in your class, but seems to me that you should have a look at data bindings, here is a CP article: WPF Data Binding - Part 1

Simon Bang Terkildsen 6-Oct-11 17:06pm View

Resources are supposed to define the visual appearance of your application, you would define brushes, styles, data templates and the like as resources, and these would only change if the user changed the theme of the application.

What you seem to be doing is to do a binding without using a binding, seems silly to me, I'm guessing your teacher is getting you to do something awkward now and then later get you to do it the right way, at least I hope that's the case.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 6-Oct-11 16:53pm View

Most likely, but resources isn't supposed to be used like that, so it really depends on what you're trying to do.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 6-Oct-11 16:49pm View

well you can also write Resources["AgentsList"] = agents, but the effect is exactly the same as the two lines I posted in the solution.

Simon Bang Terkildsen 6-Oct-11 12:30pm View

Hmm, who calls the authorities? :P

Simon Bang Terkildsen 6-Oct-11 12:27pm View

Thank you, Espen. I get one now and then :)

Simon Bang Terkildsen 6-Oct-11 12:11pm View

Yeah well I suppose some of the CPians who doesn't spend much time in the Q6A might see it as harsh, but in the 2 months I've spend here I would say you're in your right to went now and then.

Thank you for the vote.
Well a PhD thesis doesn't have to take on the entire problem or even provide a general solution to a problem. So while you're correct taking on the OP's problem directly without any prior research to rely on, I still feel that it would be worth a PhD thesis. Now I'm not a researcher but I would start by using the research you mentioned about body gesture recognition, So you would look for the correct gestures in the correct order, once that is done I would go deeper.
