Oh right, an operations manual. Well, there isnt really a simple definition? A computer is a complex machine which performs operartions which is is programmed to do on some input, and returns some...

I cant understand what you mean.

A programmable machine. The programmable part is the key. Thats what seperates a computer from most other basic machines.

The option to run programs is what makes computers different from regular...

Other than the fact he wants something low-cost, doesnt do any video editing, wants a card reader, and most importantly, hates macs

Yeah, dont like em. My friend edds just wont boot at all, the keyboard and HDD died on my mate gavs, and all the usb ports died on my cousin emmas. They all had the same model. Acers support was...

Over here it doesnt make a huge amount of difference unless you are going into research or academia, they would rather see industry experience instead.

Well considering im technically making -10k a year lol....

That sounds okay to me. I would take it.

Yeah there is also DreamSpark which is handy for students. A bit more accessible than MSDNAA and has a good selection, but slightly more retrictive. DreamSpark has all the full versions for free.
...

yes actually

No, except for the licence restrictions (you are only supposed to use the AA copy in direct relation to your studies)

Java (my fave), C# and C++, some VB.NET occasionally (but i don't like it).

If you are a student on daniweb, chances are you are doing comp/sci, so why pay $30 when you can pay nothing and get a full version of Ultimate off of MSDN AA?

I dual boot Ubuntu (9.04) and Server...

You can ask the server specifically to give you a new lease early, but it depends on thier configuration, this may be disabled

I just gave you that... Its not that great a way due to the widespread use NAT.



Yes, thats NAT in action.



Not nececerially, most ISPs use DHCP *but* still always hand out the same...

Im almost certain phpbb can. Most forums log IPs for legal reasons . There is no cost involved in this for the site owners, as the web server (obviously) knows your IP when you request the page, or...

Was there a point to awakening an old thread?

Basically, no. Not without permission from the copyright owners.

The S video is probably a good idea. Its pretty easy to set up, i use mine to watch DVDs on my TV.



Probably. We have a similar store called Maplin here and it sells that sort of stuff.

This thread is from 2004, vista didnt even exist then :)

I would do, but the new version of Virtual PC (which forms the basis of that) seems to require that the CPU has hadrware Virtualisation Support such as Intel VT-x or AMD-V however my CPU doesnt have...

Not strictly true. You can modify it.

Yeah, i agree with PirateTux (if i remember rightly, JPEG support for paint was a hack they put in in order to get active desktop backgrounds working correctly in windows 98, it wasnt intended to...

Joomla?

Yes but seeing as you have to do a vb project, it would probably be beneficial to learn vb.net..

ASP.NET is a technology for dynamic web pages (similar to PHP etc...)
The actual ASP.NET code can be in either a VB.NET or a C# like syntax.

C# and VB.NET are mainly used for desktop apps though....

Either?

thanks, itHelp for posting a constructive post.

Im good at Java (J2SE and J2EE), and linux...

On a serious note, im from the UK.

It would break compatibility. Older versions of windows cant use files over 4gb in size.

Secondly it would require a rewrite of everything. Windows's JET engine and ADO probably arent designed to...

Certifications?

Okay im currently on a degree (Bsc Hons) course for Applied Computing, going into second year (of 4)

I am wondering whether now is the time to be thinking about certifications...

no hashes have a completely different meaning when used in the context of databases

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

The first few paragraphs of this explain it

its not possible though

thats not what a hash is. A hash is a totally arbitrary thing, its meaningless without a context with which to apply it to.

if we are going to be really technical, an...

No. Hashing cant do that.

why? Screw you!

are they going to give them credit?
