SQL Server Profiler fonts error

运行SQL Server Profiler，生成，连接数据库，正常，当点下run开始跟踪的时候，报错："only TrueType fonts are supported. There id not a TrueType font"。倒，微软还真进步，看来要淘汰windows中的非TrueType字体了。

避免该错误，需要修改Profiler的指定字体，方法如下：

点击 Tools菜单->Options...

然后在选项对话框开头的Display Options部分，"Choose Font..."换一种TrueType的字体即可，我比较喜欢Vendana 。

windows form c# -- User Interface tips to show system status

When a time consuming task is performed, we can either perform it using backgroundworker, or using a little tips like this:
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
// Perform your task here
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;
From the UI perspective, User understand that the system is busy and will be more than happy to wait rather than disappointed.

segmentation fault in linux/unix

A wired error happened today when I am trying to run a gcc complied application.
"Segmentation fault" happened in the least expected place (at least according to cout, it paused), so I tried very hard to
modify this bit of code in many ways. I couldn't solve the problem until I tried gdb.
After reading wikipedia for the simplest way of using gdb, and few other articles on the web, I start to debug the code.
I find that the application had a bug in one line, which is way below the code that I was messing around. 
How stupid I am... I should know that the application is still running and cout just haven't finish printing.....
I should have turn to debugging straight away because this is c++, not c#.

Conclusion: Never trust manual debug using cout.
