Bochs, perhaps?

I've used Bochs under Linux with varying degrees of success (it's a little slow). But, if there's not a suitable Wine solution for you, then Bochs would be your next hope.

Just out of curiosity: is it personal choice, or some kind of need keeping you on BeOS? It's a really neat OS, but with such little support now a days, I don't think I personally could use it and be productive.

You'll likely want to create a departmental mailbox, and then share the calendar associated with the mailbox. I don't have any specific information, but I know that would be the general approach.

well this is surely unfair. you cannot be penalised just coz ur using the home stuff. i think that every software that comes into the market should be able to run on ALL os that are already on the market.

Why? Why should an OS intended for HOME use be able to serve web pages? Get XP Pro for that, or get Server 2003. Or better yet, dual boot with Linux/BSD.

If you know you're going to be serving web pages, you should know what OS you'd need. Just because you can run IIS or some other webserver on a 9x system doesn't mean you should. It will be full of security holes, and it's bound to be unstable.

It's like saying, "Sure, I might be able to pull a boat with a Yugo, but is that going to be the best choice to do it?"

Why not try it on a different COM port, like 3 or 4?

This is just me, but I usually try to set internal software modems to something higher than 2, so they don't interfere with COM ports that might actually be there.

Silly question:

Are you connected to the Internet when you try this? You do need to be if you plan to activate online... That's the same behavior I got when I tried to activate XP before adding in all of my network information (Gateway, IP Address, DNS servers, etc)

In what program? Word can do this, and it's quite easy to add in your own graphics, or pre-made clip art.

if you're opening pico from a command line, couldn't you just type the path to the file as an argument?

pico /path/to/file.c

now please do send me a C++ program which can read an image into a matrix and display the same.

Not trying to be rude, but I believe that's what you pay someone to do. We're here to help you learn how to code, not write programs for you. Attempt to write something on your own, and we'll help you hash it out.

It's possible that they're poking at you because you didn't post any code. Please read the Announcement.

Even if this isn't a homework assignment, you're not going to get much help around here if you don't provide any code to troubleshoot.

I see a moderator closing thread based on it's content in relationship to what this site is all about.

Yeah, this thread is just asking to become a target for flames and trolling. Let's keep things platonic here, and steer away from such topics.

That should work just fine. Are you running FAT32? If so, you can always go in with a DOS bootdisk and a text editor to fix the boot.ini file if you have somehow messed it up.

I don't think packard Bell's around anymore... your only legal option now would be to purchase a new license of 98 from someone...

I've seen it many times on here. You would think that some people would realize there is no need for a forum if you simply tell people to look on google. I guess it's just they don't know how to do it. The point of a forum is to help people.

EXACTLY. The point of a forum is to help people, not do their homework for them. Every single person that's posted something about round-robin scheduling is simply regurgitating some assignment they've been handed, and they want us to do it for them. Suggesting they search Google in this case is as much help as any.

Is doing their homework for them helping? No. It will just add to their dependancy on others, and that will produce crappy coders, crappy code, and no one will benefit. Narue is exactly right-- a search for this algorithm on Google took seconds, and I don't even need to understand Java or the algorithm to simply cut and paste something I found, which is what these people are basically asking for us to provide.

There's this thing called GOOGLE. It would probably help to check there first.

Please read the Announcement regarding homework on the forums.

What about ViM?

http://www.vim.org/

The interface is a little cryptic at first, but it was pretty good syntax highlighting. When I need to do any coding or scripting, I usually fire that up. It works for Mac, Linux, PC, DOS... pretty much any platform you'll encounter.

Mac, but it has to be OS X so I can run Firefox.

Paper or Plastic?

Can we stop with the tsunami pictures?

No offense, but we get enough "real" stuff from news and other media, and it's insulting to post these links that are of the quality you'd find in Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:.... Emails everyone sends about.

Keep in mind that with one product key, you're only licensed to run Windows 98 on one system. Even if you can pull the product key off of one system, you shouldn't use it on another.

I think the white is negative... That's how I did mine, and it works, at least.

Why not just hook the 4-pin connector up to one of the 4-pin power connections that you'd use for a hard drive/ optical drive? That's what they're meant for.

All else fails, you could get a rheostat or a fan controller to control the speed of the fan.

Have you tried clearing the CMOS jumper on your motherboard, to clear any settings that you might have made in the BIOS?

Hey there

A great PDA that is easy to use is the Dell Axim X30, it runs on Windows 2003 mobile which means that it is works well with a Windows desktop. You can use drag and drop for placing files on the unit, it has Windows media player as well that means that it can play the likes of mp3's it also has internet explorer. I have been very impressed with mine

I'll second that. I own an Axim X3, and it works awesomely! The X30 is like the X3, but faster, and it has wireless connectivity built in.

I don't normally say this, but...

SWEET!

Okay, let's let this thread fall to the depths of oblivion. I think we've debated this argument to its reasonable conclusion....

Come on now, folks.

Don't ask us to do your homework for you, and don't try to put a deadline on it. That's REALLY rude.

Ok guys, what if I want to do feed the script with a text file in order to find key words and compare between lines, either on windows or linux?

Thanx,
Rashed

Please don't piggyback questions on other people's threads. When you do, you don't get the attention that you should get for your question.

How to properly phrase a question when asking for help ....

Wow...

You mean we've gotten to 149, and nobody's gotten bored with this yet?

Have a question for you:

<?

if (!isset ($autor)) {
 echo "<FORM ACTION=$PHP_SELF>\n";
 echo "Autor : <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=autor VALUE=Pepito><BR>\n";
 echo "Text : <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=text VALUE=port><BR>\n";
 echo "After date : <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=aft VALUE=2002-01-01><BR>\n";
 echo "Before date : <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=bef VALUE=2004-01-1><BR>\n";
 echo "<INPUT TYPE=submit value=\"Identify\">\n";
 echo "<BR><HR><BR>\n";
 echo "</FORM>\n";
} else {
 include "/home/httpd/html/PHP/connect.php";
        connect_mysql();
 $criteria = "";
 if (isset ($autor) && !($autor == "")) {
  $criteria .= " autor = '$autor'";
 }
 if (isset ($text) && !($text == "")) {
  if (! ($criteria == "")) {$criteria .= " AND "; }
  $criteria .= " desc_pt LIKE '%$text%'";
 }
 if (isset ($aft) && !($aft == "")) {
  if (! ($criteria == "")) {$criteria .= " AND "; }
  $criteria .= " data > '$aft'";
 }

  if (! ($criteria == "")) {$criteria .= " AND "; }
  $criteria .= " data < '$bef'";
 }



 if (!($criteria == "")) {
  $criteria = "WHERE ". $criteria;
 }
 $q = "SELECT * FROM fotos_file $criteria";
 echo "$q<BR>\n";
 $query = mysql_query ($q);
 $res = mysql_num_rows($query);
 echo "<BR>I found $res element corresponding of your demand";
}

echo "<BR><BR>\n";
echo "<BR><BR><HR><BR><BR><CENTER><A HREF=test6.txt>Load the source</A></CENTER>\n";

?>

What's all the mysql stuff for, just out of curiosity?

This is sickening. You can tell some of those pictures are faked. Some obviously look like they were taken in China, and some of the people are smiling.

Some of these pictures may not be faked, but they're not of the tsunami.

I've never seen a setup where you could do exactly what you're asking to do. Might it be a better idea to use a removable hard drive cage or something, and then simply swap out the drive you're looking to use?

Okay, guys...

Let's cut it out with the illegal nonsense. One more word about piracy and stealing of software, the thread is getting closed, and members are getting banned.

I'm not being a hardliner here, but we all know piracy is illegal, and discussing it here, even suggesting how to pirate/warez, is not allowed.

Now, back to the flames....

If anything, let's not get back to the flames. Please keep things civil here, lest I be forced to close the thread.

This has to be the ultimate cross-post. Could you not have even cut/copied your question into this thread?

Besides, many of our members may already frequent that site...

Come on... we've been over this dozens of times on this forum. Enticing people with Gmail invites really just invites spammers who want the invites. Once they get them, they leave. Same with any other type of promotion of that ilk.

The only reason I'm not deleting this thread is so it can serve as a reminder: posting links to other sites in this fashion is considered spamming according to our AUP. Consequently, spamming the forums can get you banned.

Hello! i have a powermac 7200/90 machine which i bought in 96, i was thinking of using it as a web host. Suggestion anyone i'm all ears...

That's an "okay" machine, actually:

http://lowendmac.com/ppc/7200.shtml

You shouldn't have any problems shoehorning Linux on there, and using the BootX loader to load it all up. Since it's a PCI Mac, you can even think about installing a 10/100 NIC in it to supplant the built-in 10BT NIC that you're stuck with otherwise. It's just been my experience, but the NICs from those machines are pretty slow, but YMMV.

Please read the Announcement.

Though I can't specifically say that you're doing a homework problem, the signs are there. We don't do work for you. Please post some code, and we'll help you troubleshoot.

Why the repost? Just keep posting in the other thread.

I like trackballs, except for doing Desktop publishing/digital art and gaming. If I didn't do both of those frequently, I'd probably use a trackball.

As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of switching over to a trackball at work, as I don't do either of those activities there.

the same Layout is one thing, the same internal spec is another.

It's possible you might not ever get it to work. I'm not incredibly up on USB vs PS/2 connections/controllers, but it would seem that the keycodes might be different or something, but the software just won't recognize your keyboard as being one.

Could you just take the USB model from the other system, and swap with the PS/2 keyboard? That would be the most straightforward thing FWIW.

Perl's actually a scripting language for a number of platforms. It might have its roots in Unix, but it has been extended to work with Windows, Pre and Post OS X Macs, and it even works on DOS, Amigas, and BeOS. There are tons of other platforms, too!

Just so you know, you can use Perl to do application development, just like you can do with Python, another scripting language. I don't know about how quick it is for doing it, or whether you'd want to do it, but I know it can be done.

Same problem , I did what you said but no luck, so I bought a souncard and now no probs.

My friend said he already had such problems with the realtek chipset because it is so cheap that the MB 's builders wants to get the maximum profit so ----

I would agree with you. In this particular case, I'm thinking the sound jacks might be bad, or the chipset on the board went belly-up.

Just a quick note: You can open a Dell system and not void your warranty. Just be prepared to remove any device from your Dell system that it didn't ship with if you ever need to call them to troubleshoot.

I realised its not MSCE! :( he has a hardware certification though! However i still feel that socket A would be a bad idea - mainly as most customisation options and indeed most people i know have gone for socket 754 and 939 over socket A. Personally I play a Lot of Hardware intensive games so given the choice I would still say a sempron. Interestingly -> I have seen a report of a DFI lanparty motherboard (754) with a sempron 3100 and a mid-level gfx card giving amazing framerates (50+) in Doom III (i think med settings) so thats another reason why i would advise the sempron at the moment! I am using this board myself for a new ath64 3400 (newcastle core - 2.4GHz) based system which is going to be an improvement over my old pII 350MHz.....

That's really interesting stuff that you've mentioned there. I would disagree with you, though-- I don't think that Socket A (Athlon XP, specifically) can or should be discounted just yet from a customization standpoint-- parts are plentiful, and the price is right for making a still respectable system, in my opinion. Sure, it won't be last-week's tech, but those machines will still perform well enough, unless you absolutely crave imperceptably high framerates, and you HAVE to run your games at 1600x1200.

Are you running any kind of drive emulation software, like Daemon tools, or similar? It could be the copy protection on the disc throwing the installer for a loop.

I would be looking to try and remove spyware from the system, as that sounds suspicious. Check out the "Helping yourself" link in my sig. Should that not help, try posting a question to the Spyware forum here.

Is this drive set up as the drive where the paging file resides?

That could account for the space consumption. Otherwise, you might want to reformat the drive to regain the space. If you cannot format the drive because it says it's in use, I'd seriously suspect your paging file is on that drive.

I know personally that you can download CD images of Windows XP from MSDN and use them legally, provided you're an MSDN Subscriber (I'm a Universal subscriber, so I should know). But, if your friend has an MSDN Academic license and you don't, you shouldn't be using his software. Additionally, you can make a 1:1 copy of a Windows CD, or you can even copy the i386 folder (the installation files) to a network location or other hard drive, and you'll still be legal, providing you're using the files within the bounds of your licensing agreement.

I know that when you burn the CD correctly from them, it acts just like a retail CD, and you should be able to boot directly to it. If your BIOS is configured correctly, and it doesn't boot, you must not have burned it correctly.

Hi everyone,

Here we go again

Narue you seem to be nothing but a java sceptic and keep on calling me a troll.

Narue you said "It's impossible to write an operating system completely in Java. If you knew half of what you pretend to then you would realize this."

I have said this probably a dozen times to you that only the overlying gui on top of the kernel of an os can be written in java.

And most people usually write the kernel in asm, i have even seen one in pascal but that's quite rare, or c++. People tend to avoid the kernel writing part using c++ because it is incredibally hard but it is possible.

Sometimes i tend to wonder Narue if you have any programming experience at all and that goes for you to 1o0oBhP.

Your Sincerely

Richard West

Okay, this post was needlessly stabby, if I may say so. If you've looked anywhere through the forum, you'd see that Narue and 1o0oBhP both know a thing or two about programming, not that they need any defense.

What about Linux, a *BSD or any major UNIX? They're done in a combination of C and ASM, if I'm not mistaken.

But, why would you have to start at the overlying GUI? I'm not incredibly up on Java, but couldn't you just as well do the predominance of the userspace in Java? I'd imagine that if you built the VM into the kernel (or the …

if i am any better in C, why should i ask for help. :-)
with what little time i have, i have to finish the job at hand, and with what little C expertise i have. so...

I think what they're trying to say is there might not be a simple way of doing it. I don't think you'll find some do_what_i_want_it_to_do(); function out there to plug into your program. This may be the opportunity to bone up on the topic.
