<0> mmnt = moment :)
<0> check the code
<1> now, wouldn't have saved you keystrokes to just type moment to begin with?
<1> wouldn't it
<1> how did I lose a whole word?
<0> :))
<2> some notes: use CComBSTR if you're using ATL, VARIANT_BOOL types *must* be set to either VARIANT_TRUE or VARIANT_FALSE (it just so happens that VARIANT_FALSE = 0, but VARIANT_TRUE is -1), make sure buf is null terminated (like i said, WideCharToMultiByte does not null terminate)
<0> nope... moment = 6 chars 1<space>mmnt = 6 chars :)
<0> ooops... the code works... but doesn't put any trailing \0 to the multibyte char....
<2> make sure you use CComBSTR in place of BSTR here, otherwise the BSTR will be leaked
<2> CComBSTR has operator& and a operator BSTR, so you can use it just like you would a BSTR
<2> but then you don't have to keep track of deallocating it (it functions like a smart pointer)

<1> sweet
<1> once they get this all worked out



<1> instant communication anywhere
<1> with no annoying satellites and whatnot
<1> and no interference
<0> peter... u hungarian?
<2> no
<2> american
<1> American, you bastard.
<2> is that the correct response?
<2> i forget
<3> Noidea
<3> got a question
<3> for an EE guy
<2> haven't used any real COM in a year and a half, surprised i still remember it heh
<2> i like purging as much stuff i don't actively use as possible
<3> you know the cross correlation function for signals?
<0> teleportation?
<1> not off the top of my head, no.
<3> no I mean
<1> I only took 1 signals cl***.
<3> you know the principle?
<1> and that was a long time ago
<3> using Fourier transforms
<3> ah ok
<1> I'd have to go home and get a book.
<3> no it was confusing me
<0> :)
<3> because in statistics
<3> you also have a correlation function
<1> yeah, I remember the term
<3> I was wondering when people speak about correlation of signals or series if its the same
<1> don't remember, I'd have to grab my communications book
<1> and look it up.
<2> man i miss school
<3> dont worry, ill raise it in #physics
<2> learning things, partying, slacking off
<2> good times
<1> as long as you're here, I've got another question for you
<1> you're getting a PhD in finance?
<1> or in financial engineering/financial mathematics?
<3> thats next year
<3> financial engineering/mathematics
<3> basically its in the CS department
<1> a lot of those job descriptions say grad degree in financial engineering/math
<3> dealing with optimisation problems applied to Financial Engineering/Math
<1> Hmmmm, that changes my plans some
<1> that's not a common degree
<1> only offered a handful of places around the country
<4> who is offering it, noidea?
<3> ah
<3> I know NYU is great at it
<3> MIT Sloan School is
<3> ehm
<1> And, I don't suppose they count a degree in Comp E, Masters in just straight finance, and years of work experience as a Design verification engineer.
<3> Chicago U
<3> is
<1> Stanford, Berkeley, UIUC
<1> lots of places
<1> but, I'm unlikely to get into Stanford
<1> and Berkeley is just far enough away it's difficult
<4> so go to UIUC ?
<2> yeah, they don't like your kind in CA



<1> that means quitting work to go back to school
<4> he's already IN CA
<3> :)
<2> see
<1> which is fine, I guess
<1> I was hoping to do more of a work and study at the same time type of plan
<1> but, whatever.
<3> actually
<2> yeah i wish there was a school here
<3> I know when I was working at Morgan Stanley some IT people did part time Finance at uni
<2> (that didn't ****)
<4> peterhu I thought you were in VA
<2> yeah, northern
<2> the two good schools, UVA and VT are middle and south west
<4> too far to Blacksburg, eh?
<1> If you can get those jobs with just a masters in finance, and strong comptuer background (I mean, I did work on Opteron, and the highest performance MIPS Microprocessor ever made)
<2> about 4.5 hours
<0> I get an unhandled exception in CComPtr when it deallocates itself, and i've no idea why
<1> I could work and study at the same time
<1> at SJSU
<1> but, if it's gotta be something more like financial engineering
<3> Noidea, Finance is definitely also not a bad idea
<3> you already got the engineering skills proved
<3> combining it with a pure Finance degree might just be enough
<3> infact, it probably is
<1> I need to talk to someone in this industry
<3> I agree
<3> it depends
<3> what
<3> you want to do
<3> in banking etc
<2> sigh
<2> need to remind myself to update my xorg conf for the touchpad driver
<2> keep forgetting
<1> I like the idea of doing math and something more analytical again
<2> guess i'll do it now
<4> anyone heard anything about the Vista beta? it was _supposed_ to be February, which is now gone
<2> sol's the one to ask
<3> Noidea, then its the quant world you want to focus to
<2> i think the beta's coming in april, but two CTPs between then
<2> that's what i heard
<1> Yeah, Quantum``, that's exactly what I was thinking.
<1> it sounds like it'd be a lot of fun.
<3> thats my focus in any case too :)
<1> but, they may want specifically financial engineering.
<3> go to wilmott.com
<3> and quantworld.com
<3> or whatever its called
<3> go to their forums
<3> they got huge amount of info on unis
<3> and you can ask people in the field what they think your options
<3> are
<3> ugh I cant type in single lines
<3> been programming too much
<1> heh
<1> that's how I am too :)
<1> I used to always get the autochatter award in the #c++ stats
<1> anyone have that link, btw?
<2> check my pants
<0> I get an unhandled exception in CComPtr when it deallocates itself, and i've no idea why..... all the code is CoInitialize(NULL);CComPtr<IXMLDOMDocument> iXMLDoc;iXMLDoc.CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(DOMDocument));CoUninitialize();
<3> its empty
<3> how funny am I
<2> you're CoUninitializing before CComPtr<>::~CComPtr() is executed
<2> which means COM goes away when it tries to release
<2> quick fix, put a block around the code between init and uninit
<3> Noidea, a Finance degree and your EE/CS knowledge might be enough - ask in those forums to be sure
<0> so i sould do a delete iXMLDoc; ?
<1> Thanks Quantum``, if you're still curious about auto correlation later, I'll look it up. I think I've got a commmunications book still.
<1> that was about the most pointless cl*** I took
<1> I tried it as an online cl***
<2> no, you should add a { after CoInitialize() and a } before CoUninitialize()
<3> hehe
<1> freakin waste of time
<1> I didn't learn much of anything
