Oh, the memories of my old Psion palmtop! I haven't heard any news about this OS in years! Unfortunately, Psion was discontinued in America during it's peak in Europe - mostly due to the release of the first version of Windows CE. As soon as I read your post, I …

No, I read his website. Apparently he owns some shares of the company which they asked him to forfeit, and they held his job as ransom. In any case, I have to thank Jimmy for listening to an archived show of his the other day and actually hearing "daniweb" being …

Yes, I leave this off. I don't believe I turned it off that way though. I think I used Tweak-XP ;)

It seems this is an Excel database. Being moved to the Geek's lounge since we currently don't have a forum for this.

If you want a premade script that does this, check the PHP Scripts section of [url]www.hotscripts.com[/url] - that site has some nice goodies.

I would think that it is but I'm not 100% ... can someone back me up?

I would go with Windows 2000 out of those three. Why Win2k server? The professional version is fine and a hell of a lot cheaper :)

Is it a regular ol' ball mouse that might need to be cleaned? Is it just jittery? Is she using a firewall? Virus protection? What mouse and what mouse drivers?

Click the Tools dropdown menu and then go to Internet Options. In the General tab, click the Colors button and make sure "Use Windows colors" is enabled. Also in the general tab, click the Accessibility button. Make sure "Format Documents Using My Stylesheet" is unchecked.

I'm not sure of the severity of that virus. However it is definitely a good idea to change all your passwords. I would change them every few months anyways. Especially if you have any sensitive information on the net. In addition, clear out all of your old restore points from …

For those of you who use vBulletin forum software ... [url="http://www.vbulletin.nl"]www.vbulletin.nl[/url] is now using Invision Power Board forum software! :)

This problem can also occur when you have a non-bootable floppy in the A:\ drive. If there's a floppy in the drive, remove it and try again.

Weather Channel, you have been given more than enough second and third chances around here. Banned.

Well, suppose you have the string "GIRL". A string is an array of characters. Store the letter you want to search for as a character. So what you will have to do is start at the beginning of the array, and recursively traverse it one character at a time. We …

I would like to apologize for the site being so slow today. It appears as if there is a problem with the server's nic card. This will be resolved within the next few hours. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Whoa. My cable modem connection is about $40/month. :( Optimum Online ;)

I'm afraid Alex is right. The recovery cds don't include images of the hard drive to restore. Instead, the image is located on a hidden partition on the computer. All the recovery cds do is load and start software which accesses the hidden image and recovers it onto the primary …

It may be a bad FDC (floppy disk controller) on your motherboard.

It's something new I'm temporarily testing out. If you have at least 100 posts, you get one arrow, 200 posts, two arrows, and ... well, you get the idea.

What toolbar are you exactly talking about? Just customizing the toolbar? i.e. going to View menu and then to Toolbars and then to Customize? It's possible it's spyware from a junk, warez, or p0rn site. Is anything else funky? (For example, new startup page, etc.)

That makes total sense ... where I wanna go is to avoid this being a place for computer newbies. I mean, we will have tech support, but not "how do I click the start menu and go to my programs" type deal. Stuff for comp techs by comp techs ... …

I take it your recycle bin is all cleared out? System restore points?

My computer science professor will probably yell at me for saying this, but I'm not sure other than having an interface for a class is the same advantage as having like a prototype for a method.

GeneralPatton tried including his log file but got an error message. He then sent the file to me via email for me to post. Unfortunately I got the same message. I even got the message trying to include it as an attachment. I'm looking into this right now. However, in …

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 …

And to think I'm probably the only gal on the block with a ThinkGeek.com #!/usr/bin/girl t-shirt!

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. Click the tools menu. Run error-correction and then run disk-defragmenter - the top two tools listed in …

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.

We need some more details here. Do you get them when browsing certain webpages? Are they blank? Do they contain advertisements? What do you do when you get them?

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?

Which registry cleaner are you using, incidently? Sorry I can't really help you because I have always made it a habit never to touch the registry ... I'm not big on uinstalling software or installing shareware, etc. type stuff so I figure it's better to just leave well enough alone. …
