This seems like a hot topic and so I decided to make my own class to do this simple function. Its got a few extras that may not be needed for your implementation but feel free to rip those out or add more functionality to it :)

Added this as a project.

I created a WinForms utility that depended on some DLLs and wanted the user to be able to just download and click on the exe to run the app. Usually if your exe needs some other files you wrap things up into a package and the user has to go through an install process. This takes time and forces the user to unistall if they don't want the program after it's served its purpose. I didn't like this and found a way to embed the files I needed into my exe and extract and link them when the program ran.

This is an IRC bot I wrote in perl. Tell me what you think. I took the ytbot idea of showing the title of a youtube url, and I used it for porn instead.

Anyone that uses PHP enough has at least on one occasion been tired of having to deal with PHP's built in errors and having to write a lot of code as a work around to instigate their own error message.

This is the first in what I hope will become a series of tutorials on the basics of Java. If you are already familiar with programming, this series will provide you with everything you need to know to get started with this portable language. In this article, I will explain some of the basics of the Java programming language and how to set up a basic development environment on your own PC using Sun's JDK 1.6.

I was thinking of ways to create a random number generator, but to make it so the pattern would be hard to figure out. I tried it in various languages and here is my attempt in Python.

This article will explain the necessary steps to install a common
lisp on your Ubuntu machine. By the end of this article you should be able to write some simple Common Lisp programs. It uses
GNU CLISP and is mainly geared
toward Ubuntu, though should work on Debian.

Within Assembly, like C/C++, you store strings as one continuous sequence of bytes in memory. Sometimes this isn’t always the case.
