Do we really need to worry about endianness, if we are working on application level which doesn't involve communicating with other machine?

Endianness is also an issue when reading files. All good file formats specify which endianness they are using when writing numbers directly. This is one reason that some people prefer non-binary formats.

I am trying to build a program that tells the exact time from the internet and not from the computer itself. I am using Visual Basic 6.
Is there a way for me to get this, and if yes, what will it return if it failed to connect to the internet?
This link shows how to do it in VBScript. Should work equally well in VB6.

Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for documentations that specifies what a Window application's file footprint is?
More specifically, I am looking for a documentation that specifies what registry files (and which hive) and files/directories must be created when an application is installed.
#Raymond Chen is totally right, however, there are some pretty common places to put things in the registry\file system based on the programs needs. I.E. Does it start on login or start up? It really depends on how the program interfaces with Windows. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

I found StarDock's ModernMix today, with it we can run Windows 8 modern applications on classic desktop.
Do we know how it works?
Thanks,
Navneet
I guess there is some control (ActiveX?) that can run a Metro App, but that's probably not publicly documented anywhere

Is there a standard way to share state-machines (that is share the machine and synchronize it's state) between two languages? I'm using the state_machine gem on a server and I need to synchronize the machine with another server that will be written in another language. Is there a standard way of accomplishing this so that I can maximize compatibility despite not knowing the other language? At this point, I'm thinking I'm just going to make my own "protocol" built with REST requests and sharing the initial machine structure using serialization.
I would accept "there is no standard way" as an answer.
There is no standard way for doing that ...

I was wondering if programs made for the command prompt/ terminal could be converted into a mobile app. Is there a way for the phone to run a terminal based program?
No.
I added this bit cos SO wouldn't let me just post "No".
