Sorry, it's forum policy not to directly write your assignment for you without seeing that you have tried yourself. However, here are some pointers: A class lets you create an object. An object can be thought of as something that encompasses multiple pieces of data. For example, suppose you have …

I had a Gigabyte board with an AMD processor not too long ago. It was okay I guess. It worked. I wasn't too impressed though. I've since used Asus and I'm much happier with them.

Did this program perhaps just start happening after you recently installed or uninstalled software? Go into the Control Panel then to Administrative Tools and then to Event Viewer. Is any more detailed information related to this error? The only information I seem to find related to this error is [url="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;222444"]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;222444[/url] …

Hey guys: thanks for the feedback. Firstly, if you read the description for the Internet Explorer forum you will see it's related to all web browsing ;) But in addition to that, explorer.exe is essentially the Windows kernel and iexplore.exe is pretty much the same program. Which basically means that …

My google PR recently dropped from 6 to 4 on my index page. Is this something to worry about or just the monthly google dance?

Go to a terminal or console and become root or some other admin user (by typing [font=Courier New][b]su username[/b][/font]) that would have permissions. Then cd to where the folder is (one level above the folder, not inside it) and type [font=Courier New][b]rm -rf FOLDER[/b][/font] where FOLDER is the folder's name.

Before taking drastic measures and reformatting, there are two things to try. Go into My Computer (once you finally get in there) and right click on your C:\ (System) drive and click Properties.

Sorry, I don't think I can offer much help on this one. The only thing I know about time and space complexity is Big-Oh notation and Big-Omega notation!

I would first try running IE setup and do a repair of the installation. Are you currently running any antivirus software such as Norton or McAffee? Do a full virusscan. It's also a good idea to pick yourself up a trojan scanner somewhere. I'm sure someone else around here could …

Update.exe? What is that? I'm confused what you mean. I tried a google search for update.exe and nothing really relevant came up?

When I was like fifteen years old I made a typing tutor in Visual Basic :) It worked very similar to Mavis Beacon ... it had lessons and calculated words per minute and accuracy. Plus there was an extra feature where you would type any letter and it would tell …

I don't use Active Desktop. But I believe it can be enabled by going to Display Properties then to the Customize Desktop button and then to the Web tab. If it just miraculously disappeared, was it after installing an Internet Explorer or Windows update? Have you tried or are you …

I didn't realize how to do this until just now so I thought I'd post about it. Suppose you have a directory on your box called "my_files" and you wish to compress it into a zip file. One level above the directory, use the following command [code]zip -r files.zip my_files/[/code]

I think that Perl still has its uses in many places in the Unix world. Many things can be more easily done with perl and shell scripting when you don't need the overhead that accompanies newer OOP languages. It is sorta like assembly language ... knowing it brings a bit …

What you are doing by including files is called SSI, server side includes. Normally files which use SSI have an *.shtml extension but sometimes an *.html extension is supported as well. SSI, as its name suggests, is performed server-side. Therefore, the server hosting the files needs to support it. Apparently …

Well, we've upgraded to vBulletin 3 gold! However, while upgrading I accidently forgot to copy over avatars to the new system. Not to worry though! I'm currently working with my host to restore them. They should be back online within the next few days.

Whoa, $800 for a ticket ?! That's just amazing. Another question, actually. Why is MySQL free for a GNU license but $500 for a commercial license? What's the difference? Support?
