Hi guys, It's been forever since I did any programming, and came upon a project where a simple program would speed things up for me tremendously...Basically, I have a folder with thousands of text files in it and I want to add a block of text to the beginning of …

Regarding "The Holographic Universe", I have read that book as well and found it fascinating...It's been almost 10 years since I read it though, so I think I may have to read it again...thanks for reminding me! :)

As many of you may or may not be aware, today Google released a new search technology called "Google Instant". Here is a link to an info page about it: [url]http://www.google.com/instant/#utm_campaign=launch&utm_medium=et&utm_source=toggle[/url] It's only available on the most up-to-date browsers, such as Firefox 3, IE 8 and a couple others, so …

I don't know if this will help or not, but it's worth a shot...many laptops have a setting in the bios that will allow you to enable or disable the wireless card...if it is disabled in the bios then it could be that the switch on the front will be …

I've got to wonder...What about the people who bought a bunch of iPhones when they first came out to sell on eBay or something? I don't know how the rebate thing will work, but would they get a $100 gift certificate for every phone they bought and then later sold …

As the LAN administrator of a US Nuclear Submarine, I was privy to the monitoring of e-mails to and from the sailors based aboard the ship. I can tell you without reservation that while a person may believe that what they are writing or saying is completely harmless he or …

I have to say that I think I agree with sturm here...o/p already paid for the license when he purchased the computer, right? If the key is printed on a sticker on his laptop and he uses that product key, what's wrong with downloading another copy and using that product …

I have spent the past hour reading this entire thread...I am astonished that nobody has mentioned Orson Scott Card...I absolutely LOVE his Ender's Game series... (I thought the Speaker for the Dead trilogy was good but not as good as the rest of the other books...) Additionally, I think only …

Loki, I particularly like the AVG software...they have an antivirus version, and anstispyware version and an antirootkit version...all for FREE...here's the link: [URL]http://free.grisoft.com/[/URL] If you'd like a firewall, I'd suggest ZoneAlarm...they also have a free version and this is the link: [URL]http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en&lid=staticcomp_za[/URL] Just click on the "I only want basic …

I was the LAN administrator on the submarine I served on while in the navy...I had no-one really overseeing what I did...I had ultimate power and there was nothing anyone could do about it....I don't know how it is in the civilian world, but that was my experience...

Allow me to play devils advocate here for a moment (Rest assured I do NOT think the employee - or anyone at the restaurant - deserved jail over it...) but how often have you heard stories of disgruntled fast-food workers slipping more into meals than should be there - hair, …

Hi guys, Has anyone here tried using the DD-WRT software on any of their wireless routers? It looks very interesting and I am really intruiged by the idea. For those who don't know, DD-WRT is a firmware update based on Linux and available for free under the GPL that you …

Somewhat off topic, but has anyone here actually used a papertape punch computer??? I used one once...it was part of the Fire Control (weapons firing control) system of the nuclear submarine I was stationed aboard...It was a backup to a backup to a backup of the current system in place …

Do you mean by releasing an IP address from a specific computer? If you have access to that computer the you can use the command "ipconfig /release *con*" where *con* is the name of the connection that has the ipaddress assigned to it eg. "Local Area Connection 1"

The subject says it all...I'm fairly sure that someone is sending forged spam with my email address as the sender...I received 13 emails today stating that an email (supposedly from me) had been rejected because it was spam. The smtp server that is sending me these notices is a french …

I do some knitting occasionally...(NO!! I'm not gay!! haha) I have a sweater that I knitted myself and it's Very comfortable... I also play guitar...Mostly blues and jazz but also a lot of classic rock...

Dude, the kid was fighting the police...what did he expect...it's not like he got beaten or anything...There's a difference between exercising your right to free speech and being a nuisance... (As a US military veteran speaking) - I guarantee you this stupid kid never served in the military or knows …

This was posted in another forum I belong to...At first when I saw it I wasn't sure whether it was guy or a gal...I finally spotted the adams apple and figgered it out...I actually looked at a couple of It's other videos and realized what an ignorant idiot this thing …

Personally, I will never prostitute my values by buying an Apple product...(Then again, I suppose that everytime I purchase a license for Windows I not only prostitute my values, but sell my soul at the same time...) Ah well, my boycott of Apple will continue!

Hi, I had the same exact problem myself earlier today...Three machines on a workgroup that could ping eachother, but could not see eachother by name...after an hour of going through the network setup wizard several times on each computer, I tried something different... I went to the properties page for …

If yer gonna be soooo irresponsible like that then you deserve it....kinda like the darwin awards, just nobody died in this one...

I have no problems with bashing hypocrites, but lets be fair...The left is just as replete with hypocrites and liars...Can anyone say "Monica Lewinski" ?

The thing that scares me the most isn't the fact that the nuclear missiles were being flown around like they were, but the complacency and lack of attention that [I]led[/I] to them being flown around. Being a veteran of the US Military who actually has experience with nuclear weapons procedures, …

When I installed ubuntu on my laptop, the wireless would not work for me either...I ended up using ndiswrapper and it worked fine for me...After reading the ubuntu forums it appears many people have had problems with wireless...

On topic - I have no problem whatsoever with having a national DNA database (No, I'm not a Briton, but we've had the same debates here in the US...) - (And no - I don't know the specific numbers, but how can one know unless a database were established?!) I …

Judging by when the auction was listed I would guess that possibly school wasn't in session yet and the kids were off for summer? (I don't know what school sessions are like in the UK but smack dab in the middle of summer means no school for kids in the …

Dare I ask about NOLAE??? :D

I would [I]not [/I]recommend using [code]system("pause");[/code] as it is not portable between various operating systems...try something like [code]cin.get();[/code] at the end instead...

Hi Paraish, looks like your version of HJT is a little old, try getting the most recent version of HJT and trying it again... [URL="http://www.majorgeeks.com/download5554.html"][U][COLOR=#800080]http://www.majorgeeks.com/download5554.html[/COLOR][/U][/URL]

Hi eagerJO, it does sound like your problem could be due to some sort of spyware/malware...While you've done a thorough job of scanning your computer with the various spyware/malware scanners, it's still entirely possible that something could still be hiding out in your system...no particular anti-spyware/malware program is infallible...I would …

I must say...I am ashamed to say that I do live in a "Sanctuary City" (Only because I attend college and get free rent here)...I have never understood why illegal aliens are mollycoddled and treated as martyrs by the liberal left, rather than as the criminals that they are...In fact …

What we really need, in my opinion, is to hold teachers and parents more responsible for their students' education...you have too many teachers simply passing students because they don't want to put the students through the social stigma of having to repeat a class or grade level (My brother had …

Shajeeb, I know of no wireless technologies aside from the cellular telephone providers that will allow wireless connectivity for the range you are describing...I would recommend looking into other connectivity technologies if you are looking to connect the two offices...sorry... -Eric

Hi guys - I'm trying to disinfect a clients computer and the normal anti-spyware/anti-virus programs aren't detecting everything...It's one of those ones that popup a windows message box saying your computer is infected click here to download protection...(The specific program it's advertising is Spy-Shredder)...I was thinking it might be a …

Hi, I've been working on disinfecting a computer here and tried downloading the ComboFix utility, but when I clicked on the link (posted here at Daniweb) it didn't work (I got the dreaded 404 error)...

Hi newtech, as for the first question, until the laptop is connected to the network, you probably won't be able to see it in the Active PC's list...as for the second part, you need to enter on of the keys that was generated instead of the actual passphrase...that should solve …

Hi McQueen, basically all this code does is "pause" the program for a given number of seconds...The clock_t type name is part of the ctime header and is used when returning clock() variables (clock() is a function of the ctime header file)...the clock() function returns the number of clock ticks …

If you can't get the button to show back up again, a shortcut to clicking on the desktop button that I prefer is hitting 'windows button + m' on the keyboard...does the same exact thing...

The experts here will correct and berate me if I am wrong, but while I don't under stand what the [code][B][COLOR=green]'s/ *\|/\|/g;[/COLOR][/B][/code] code means, the entire line of [code][COLOR=red][B]perl -ne 's/ *\|/\|/g; print' ${AHS_DATA}/${i} > ./${i}.dat [/B][/COLOR][/code] Appears to calculate the variable AHS_DATA divided by the variable i and outputs …

There are also wireless repeaters and range extenders that pick up wireless signals and extend the range...I haven't personally used them yet, but I know they are out there...

I've noticed as I've been reading through this forum, that people are often advised to rename hijackthis.exe (I think Gerbil always says to rename it imabunny.exe?) I was just curious why you advise people to do this? Are viruses/trojans/spyware/malware that are known to attack it? Do antivirus programs flag it? …

Hi all... I was wondering if someone could suggest a good network analyzer/packet sniffer for my home network. I plan on getting a LAMP going on this network and possible a mail server. I want to study network security and am not sure where to start. Any advice would be …

Mep, after reading many of your threads and posts, I've got to say that I think you're a bit too sensitive and need to lighten up...I have seen nothing that was overtly antagonistic toward you, yet I have seen several posts by you that WERE! Once again, I say lighten …
