Best C++ Books

That being said, at Made to Order Software, we've mainly been a C++ shop. We also do a lot of C, PHP, JavaScript and touch many other languages as required by the tasks we perform (bash, cmake, perl, C#, Java, etc.)
That being said, I wanted to underline some of the best C++ books available today. Especially, in the last ...
No more excuses! Protect your passwords on your computer with strong encryption.
Wed, 02/14/2018 - 17:05 — Alexis WilkeMore and more, we hear talks about hackers entering personal accounts on systems such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and many others. There are many reasons why someone's account will be hacked. One of them is the lack of imagination for their password. Plus, some people use the same password for all of their accounts.
So, if you do it right, you will end up with many passwords. On my end, I have one password per account and that means about 400 passwords... That's totally unmanageable in a fairly standard human brain. For this reason, you end up writing down all your passwords on ...
Protected Node per Node Type Settings
Node Type extension
The Protected Node module adds a field set to the Node Type form that you edit under:
Administer » Content management » Content types
These additions are explained in detail below.
The main reason for adding this feature is to avoid seeing the field set on all the node edit forms. With this feature you can hide the form on all the node types that you will never protect with a password.
Protected mode for nodes of this type
This option let you choose how this node type handles the Protected Node capability.

Fri, 05/02/2008 - 18:07 — Alexis WilkeToday I had a problem with one of our computers. It did not want to boot. The boot loader is called GRUB. Most Linux distributions now use GRUB which is much more advanced than LILO and some other boot loaders.
GRUB is great for several reasons:
Creating Turn Watcher — An Adventure Unto Itself
Sun, 03/05/2006 - 00:00 — Doug BarbieriI think I'm like just about everyone else. I have the work 'me' and the play 'me'. Only difference is, the two once merged, and what was born was Turn Watcher.
I have played in D&D campaigns for many years, but never thought of running my own campaign until I got a very unusual present for my 40th birthday — the Dungeon Master's Guide. I started reading the book and was hooked. How fun I thought it would be to create encounters and intriguing situations and worlds for my players.
