Hi there !!
I work for a specialist IT recruitment company in the UK and we currently have a role based in Cambridge for an initial period of 4-6 months - i have attached a summary below :
The position would have the following requirements:
· At least four years of C / C++ development experience
· At least two years of experience writing Windows applications
· Familiarity with network protocols such as IPv4, TCP, and UDP.
· Experience writing socket-level applications.
· Understanding of multi-threaded programming and debugging techniques on Windows
They are looking for a strong software developer to help design and implement automated tests for a distributed network service they're working on.
The client is a world leader and would be an excellent opportunity to work on research type projects.
We unfortunately cannot sponsor work permits but if you are eligible to work in the UK and are interested I would be very interested to hear from you.
All the best

Unless you used to have a different sign on, or were simply lurking, you really shouldn't lie like that. Your bio clearly states you have posted only 2 messages and have been a member since, um, today.
And frankly, if you represent the talent of your company, I would look carefully at working for your outfit. Try "been away for quite a while".
You and others may think I'm being really critical, but your words represent you and your company, and not researching how the site works, obvious BS, and spelling errors in your post really don't speak well for your recruiting agency, regardless of what rewards you guys have won.

Hi Marc,
No that's a fair point - I didn't finish checking before posting.

Hi,
The reason that I am writing this message is that I believe that I am being ripped off.
I have this client who I do a lot of work for, including ASP.net database driven web design, graphic design, printing, computer equipment supplies, and IT maintenance.
This client has 2 retail outlets and an online store.
Back in the beginning when I was new to business I decided that I would charge them AU$35 per hour (approx US$26), today (2 years later) I am still charging the same rate.
Lately I have had trouble getting invoices paid in a decent amount of time, sometimes I will get a pile of 5 or 6 invoices which need paying, meanwhile I am almost out of funds waiting for the money.
I bend over backwards for this client despite now having another major client and a few small jobs. I continue to knock back extra work.
As a result of this I am currently reviewing the rates that my business charges them. Is it possible that some people in a similar situation to me could supply their hourly rates?
I'd especially like to know the rates that Australians are charging, and also I'd love honest answers.
Thanks to anybody who helps me out.

If the client is not paying you now at $26 per hour, what good would it do to raise your rates? My suggestion would be to stop doing any work for this client until they are paid in full. Anything short of this is a losing proposition.

if your only charging USD26 I would double the price at the very least.
I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.

Increase the rate since they don't seem to take you seriously and are not a cost effective or considerate customer. Also I would suggest that putting a time limit on payments or no gurther work is carried out is worth considering.
Sometimes it is hard to say 'No' and some people take advantage of this.

I need help. I created server application broadcasting UDP packets to 255.255.255.255 address. Client application is listening on the same machine.
I create socket, than call m_sock.SetSockOpt(SO_BROADCAST, TRUE);
and later m_sock.SendTo(string, n, m_port, "255.255.255.255");
and
m_sock.SendTo(string, n, m_port, "127.255.255.255");
The 2nd call is necessary, because when the machine has only loopback interface, 1st call fails.
Problem is:
1. My customers client application receives packets only if the machine is connected to a router.
2. My testing client, written in C# receives packets doesn't matter the machine is or is not connected to a router. But in some cases - if the machine is connected for example to a wireless network - my client gets the data twice.
I don't understand it at all - what is wrong with customers application (no source code available  ) and why is broadcasting behaviour not consistent - sometimes sending to "255.255.255.255" is received on localhost and sometimes not.

I’m not at home so I can’t just pick up my TCP/IP book. As memory serves 255.255.255.255 is a reserved IP for the routing table. If you need to always connect back to the local host whether or not the computer is on a LAN use 127.0.0.0 as the IP.
There is a reason NOT to use 255.255.255.255 for this purpose but I just for the life of me can’t remember all of the details.

Your question is a bit unclear. It seems you are trying to calculate someone's birthday by using some date as input. Is that correct? What does this date represent?

Hello this is my first java game and is very simple and easy. I have written the code below and was wondering if anyone would help me by making some suggestions on how I could clean up some inefficiences in the program or recode some of it to make it run smoother and more efficiently.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
Here is the code (NB:The code is quite short so please take time to read it if you can help me)
