<0> ok, cool
<0> Then it must be time to find lunch.
<1> so no new macbooks were announced at macworld?
<0> Apparently not.
<0> In fact, it didn't appear to have much to do with computers at all.
<1> my wife needs a mac for work, i told her to wai until macworld
<0> Which fact is emphasized by the name change.
<1> Apple Computer, Inc. is now "Apple, Inc."
<1> ;)
<0> yup
<0> So one of two things will happen: 1. The iPhone will change the world and make Apple billions. 2. It will be the biggest flop since the Lisa.
<2> that or somewhere in the middle
<2> aiming at 2
<2> :)
<3> Ma! Pa! I'm home!
<3> Cold but otherwise not too bad out.
<3> ToyzRus in trouble? Whats that all about
<2> "Space.com is reporting that NASA has decided to use the metric system for its new lunar missions. NASA hopes that metrication will allow easier international participation and safer missions. The loss of the Mars Climate Orbiter was blamed on an error converting between English units and metric units. 'When we made the announcement at the meeting, the reps for the other space agencies all gave a little cheer,' said a NASA official."
<3> 2007 -- so what took 'em so long. next.

<6> Ever since I tried to install Virtual Server all hell has been invading this poor beast.
<5> :P
<7> http://www.fp-law.com/news.html
<7> does this page work?
<8> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/08/AR2007010801352.html is that good or bad... I cant decide but I don't really want those guys near my computer
<6> The problem is that windows keep losing focus.
<2> Squasige: well it sorta works

<6> Hrm. At least the extra 2gb of RAM I put in is working. Now if I can just exe-orcise this thing....
<7> hm.
<7> thanks
<9> hi all
<3> Hello D/G wherever you are.
<6> Radsurfer - For your billboard search, depends on what you're after. I'd use the keywords "mechanical", "trilon", "animated" etc depending on what you're after.
<6> trilon is for those that have three different images that they sequence through.
<10> hehe, at last they decided to quit measuring distance in cubits
<5> yeh u also get those rotary ones
<1> http://www.xs4all.nl/~orcl0606/Oracle/NWG/NeedAPainter.html
<5> cool
<6> Wow - that guy is good.
<5> he can do my bedroom
<6> With scantily clad women?
<3> Mjolnir, thanks
<3> these are big bill-board sized signs that flip through about 6-8 different posters
<3> usually spotted by malls and larger shopping centers
<6> 3 is the most common. I'm trying to visualize how you'd do more than 4....
<6> Or are you talking the big electronic ones?
<6> Like a jumbotron or some such?
<3> I hope to recognize it when I see it
<11> how can i set background color of memo to custom rgb?
<3> ta-dah: http://news.thomasnet.com/fullstory/484435/3280
<11> nevermind :P
<11> hehe
<11> RGB works fine :)
<6> RadSurfer Check out http://www.superscreen.com/index.php .... Just don't ask about the price. :)
<3> thats too big, twice the size of a billboard, but wow
<6> It comes in panels so you can go any size you want.
<3> http://www.superscreen.com/led/en/20mm_panel.php?navid=15
<3> Ok. now we're gettin somewhere
<6> Yeah - I was about to point you at that. There are other systems around, but this one looks typical.
<3> Its really not that thick... we have only a couple here in town. but impressive
<6> You've also got competing technologies like Sony's jumbotron.
<6> Still, a 30 foot high TV screen pulling 40,000 watts is impressive.
<6> I do believe for that size they supply a diesel generator if needed.
<3> The things I see are "flipper" vertical panels to produce new pictures
<3> flipping
<6> Ah, those. I would think that they'd be going out of style as electronic is getting cheaper.
<3> Can you find me a url for one of them please. I'm stomped
<3> these just now started showing in town
<3> here's one !!!
<3> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_(advertising)
<3> scroll down to "mechanical billboards" its in the process of changing
<3> leave it to our town to get last years technology :)
<3> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rotating_billboard.jpg
<3> yep! thats it!
<6> That's one with trilons.
<6> (3 images)
<3> ok. thats
<3> thanks
<6> SHould have refered you to Wikipedia.
<12> hi. one quick question. how do i force terminate service application by itself? what command should i use? application.terminate doesnt exist
<10> svc.Stop() ?
<13> hm
<13> since tspeedbutton isn't a windowed control
<13> what is the equivalent of BM_GETSTATE/SETSTATE?
<12> Clowne: nope
<5> use the service api
<5> and ControlService
<6> The servicve API would work, but what would happen if you just sent a message to the service to close?
<12> ok the problem is that i want it to do nothing when its not run as a service so controlservice is ... kinda usless
<12> Mjolnir: the problem is taht i dont have any handle
<6> Are you using TService or TServiceApplication?
<12> TServiceApplication
<6> There's gotta be SOME kind of handle down in the guts of the thing to process messages. The main thread handle if nothing else.
<6> Otherwise your COM interfaces, service control calls, etc. would not work.
<12> dunno how to get it
<12> its not interactive service
<12> so it doesnt process messages
<12> so its... hard.
<6> It does. That's what the .run procedure does.
<12> so i dont know how to close it
<12> i dunno how to get that handle
<12> when im doing service.DoStop; getting access violation
<14> isn't there an application.handle ?
<12> nope :/
<14> I don't remember how I did it
<5> OpenSCManager
<5> OpenService
<5> and ControlService
<5> or SetServiceStatus
<6> What about calling ServiceThread.Terminate?
<5> i forget
<14> oh wait, you want to send a message from a normal application to a non-interactive service ?
<12> Mithandir: access violation
<12> after servicethread.terminate
<14> ah yo uwant a service to stop itself basically ?
<14> or do you want an outside app to stop the service?
