The average starting salary for recent undergrad CS majors (http://sdmines.sdsmt.edu/cgi-bin/global/a_bus_card.cgi?SiteID=228101) from my university is $56K.

You mean something like this (http://www.daileyint.com/build/buildtoc.htm)?

Motherboards have a speaker on them, that's where the POST beeps come from.

If you're getting beeped during operations, it's usually a sign of some problem. Overheating is a common cause.

Define "crashed" and define "lost all my data".

Buzzer's advice to retrieve the data using the drive connected to another PC is good. Even better if you can connect it in a way that disables...

It would help to know where you are, what brand ink you need. Do you want factory new or remanufactured?

My usual supplier for HP ink is ANTONLINE (http://www.antonline.com/) located in USA.

Try reading its manual on menu options? Play around with the remote?

Going out on a limb here, that display means you're getting input from/have selected External Connection #1, which is an RGB...

That's an axiom from Alan Cooper's book "About Face - The Essentials of Interaction Design" - an excellent book for anyone who does program interfaces.

That means, don't pop up some confirmation...

Keyboard, mouse and phone were among the top 5 dirtiest objects in the office environment, according to some unnamed survey my morning radio show folks discussed recently.

What's the dirtiest part...

The last part of that is not necessarily the case. Consider a heart pacemaker or the ignition control in your car. We could quibble on whether controlling a mechanical process is producing...

With VMware you should be able to set up a shared "drive" on the host.

But, your guest VM should have an IP, unless you set it up to share the host's. There is a NAT option in VMware.

I don't...

What part of those definitions are giving you problems?

"Desk checks" - there's a term you don't hear enough anymore. And to get students to do such - unheard of!

Narue's comments are spot on. If students (and real life programmers, as well) would...

Should I be worried that I'm able to read that? Or worried that that's all so many kids these days seem to be able to write?

I've used Logitech mice almost as long as they've been making them, and have found them to be easy to use, very reliable. As long as you're mating current products in current OS's, they do work very...

Off and on since 1983 or so. Classes in UCSD Pascal running on original IBM PC, Fortran and OS/370 Assembly on some hidden mainframe, oh, and MS BASIC. Later got a class in C, then C++, which most...

I think that's way to simplistic a measure. Shouldn't the average time to resolution be a factor? What if no problems are reported at all - can you still be called successful?

Is there some...

You can never go backwards. Lost data is lost.

If C++ is your cup of tea, the forum here has a thread listing many good books (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread70096.html).


One of them (at least) can be found online for no cost: Thinking...

Do you have some idea what area of computer science/programming you are interested in? In general, preparation for a career in programming calls for study in math, science, and good communication...

You probably won't find that anyone was responsible. I find that most every Windows machine I own or use, every now and then, changes some setting. It just happens. I attribute this random...

You might get more help if you'd posted this to the C++ forum.

As to storing face values based on your loop index, your if...else branching seems adequate.

As you proceed, the Ace will be a...

from the results of googling this problem, bad keyboard or keyboard cable seem likely.

If you want to try repairing/replacing components, here's a good link on how to open it up:...

It's what I've used everywhere I've worked for 20 some years, going back to Win3.1. At home, I've got several major apps I use that are not available for other platforms. Then there's just plain...

Welcome.

You'll find there's a C++ forum in the Software Development section, which is a better place for this question.

You were on the right track with the ignore( ) function, but you used it...

You've pretty much answered your first question - the >> and << operators are shifting the bits of the initial value of x.

In binary, the byte that stores decimal 5 is 0000 0101. Shift that left...

Yes, in general mixing sizes is ok, as long as pairs of modules are same sized. Having different sizes in the two banks may have an impact on dual channel usage, I can't speak to that particular...

Dells have a reputation for being finicky about memory. You might try the Dell user forums for specific advice on your model.
