I've used Xandros a few years now. Lotsa Linux users dont care for it, it takes longer to boot up. But- for windows users, its the way to get started in LInux.

I'd install a new drive as primary,...

As for what the world is coming to... we're at the end of rule by the warrior class. The brave heart, strong right arm, sword in hand... no longer cuts it.

Hominid evolution suggests that the tribal elders, witches, & shamen raised the kids of incompetent parents cause they mite carry immune resistance to a host of diseases.

As may be, but C can call an assy coded binary.
And in old fashioned dos assy, there are lots of subroutines to deal with ascii input a byte at a time, and then send it to std out.

Now, the prof...

Assembly language.

Do all the math in hex. Only convert to decimal at output.

With today's DRAM size and CPU speed, I avoid calling subroutines. KISS. use a look up table, let it fall thru the table looking for the mathematical match. If you need it again, use a text editor to...

i DIDNT even think about it. As I infer in another post, with today's DRAM and CPU speed, simplicity is far more important, and nothing is simpler than a lookup table.

Part of the problem Microsoft has, is that programmers are not fools. Back in the 80's M$ stole software sure that they had enough lawyers to keep a programmer in court forever. SO- programmers...

We appear to be on Hubbard's Peak. The view is rather cloudy, and the effect of the climb down will depend on how precipitious it gets. I tried to get into this on another tech list, but the...

This box is kinda small also to compose a well reasoned response in, but there is another more obscure movement of opportunity from the established centers like Silicon Valley to small town mid...

Well, like I said in my other post about ANZICODE, just built a lookup table. You only got 24 steps. Just a series of cmp/jnz; if ax is CDT 1pm, then bx is 1300 plus whatever the minutes are.

I'm not sure I understand the nomenclature or the proboem. But if you surf to http://www.dc-pc.org/program/anzicode.html you'll see, starting at a 018D, how it compares the byte in AL to 81h, and...

Well, ok. Here's something we all could use. Back in the BBS days, some hosts offered email in ANSI. Thus, in the postings, my words could be, say yellow, while yours were green, and a 3rd poster...

The highest density I can find is 132x 34 that still has more than the 8x8 pixel characters. And with only 8 high, the descenders used in g,j,p,q,& y touch the top of taller letters like b,d,f,h,l,&t...

Or is there some other way to break out of the 640x400 or 480 limit, and have 8x16 characters on a 1024x768 screen?

Well, the last thing I expect is help from the server people for a website that cost 30$/year. I should have expected trouble, but figured that like everything else in hardware & software, the price...

Thanx for the hint Matt. Part of the problem is my own dislexia, like typing dp-dc rather than dc-pc. But then part of it is the ideosyncracies of the server which you allude to. Having "index.html"...

Upgrading *anything* Dell sells is tricky. They make special deals with OEMs that often result in special parts, that if you can upgrade, you can only get from Dell.

the indirect address '[msg] and not the content of the array called 'msg' should be what goes into si. What's there instead? Whatcha doing this for?

for what purpose? And why not just store and add the hex, then if you want convert only the answer to dec for std out.

How many random numbers? I used the exact number of milliseconds the keyboard was last used as a random input. You could use PING to do pretty much the same.
