alrite dude relax...

im not asking for all the work to be done..i just need a start on it thats all

VeG,

Stop hijacking other people's threads. I deleted your offtopic comments from other threads, and the only reason why I'm leaving this one up is to send you a message. Please start another thread for your question, and try to write some code before posting that thread. We're not here to help you do your homework.

That's a P4 12v power connector. Since you don't have a P4 system, then you can do as Catweazle suggested and tuck it away.

Personally, I bundled mine up and wrapped it with a zip-tie, so it was tidy in my case.

eastgate:

[code][/code] tags. Learn them. Use them. I was going to edit all of your comments and add them, but they're way too long to go through them all. Please use [code][/code] tags in all of your code posting, so we can more easily read them.

I'm in agreement with Thong_Inspector on this one. Are you sure you're using the right Windows CD key? The only time I've ever gotten that error is when I'm using the wrong key for the OS I'm installing (ie, Windows 98 CD key for Windows 98 SE won't work).

never use quick format u will regret it and by the way call ms to get new key from them on free phone

Why will he regret quick format? I just about always use it, and rarely have problems. If you're simply reinstalling, it's a convenient way to wipe out the contents of the drive and reinstall.

>Are you native Japanese (or 'Nihongo' if you feel more comfortable with)?
I think you meant nihonjin. nihongo is the Japanese language, not a Japanese person. If you really did mean the Japanese language then your English grammar bites.

Oh great... yet another language she can rip on people for. Thanks a lot, gang! ;)

:D

If mplayer2 worked fine, then you've got some codec issues. What have you installed recently? Any Windows Updates?

What about System Restore? Tried that?

Also, your Winsock stack could be corrupted. Try this procedure:

http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kb/en/document?dn=1088678&c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19

This is most commonly caused by spyware. If this gets the system up and running, run a spyware scan on your system first thing using SpyBot or Ad Aware.

this is a neat program-- it's got some things that MSCONFIG doesn't have, like the HKCU\Run tab.

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.

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

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?

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.

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 …

Try this:

• Ensure monitor connections are secure to the video card
• Reseat the video card
• Try a different video card.
• Attach the monitor to a different computer, see if it gets video there.

The USB device might have had something to do with it, but I'm somewhat doubtful. This should be troubleshoot just like any other no video issue initially. Do you get any video at all (BIOS Startup messages, etc), or nothing?

Can you do us all a favor? Plz don't uz AOLspk in hr. U dont need 2 uz cute wurdz here.

If you're asking for help in a forum, the absolute best thing you can do is be as clear as possible, which means stop speaking like you're in some lol d00d chat room. Doing anything else will detract from your potential to recieve help.

Welcome back Narue, I hope you had a good vacation ...

...I don't think she's back. yb1pls keeps resurrecting old threads :(

on question number one, you could just pipe the output of the command to the lpd daemon, or whatever program you use:

perl AAA.pl | lpd

on question two, you could use the system() function, I do believe. I'm not a Perl programmer (I only play one on TV!), but you might be able to do something like this using backticks ` `:

user=`whoami`;
now=`date +%Y.%m.%d.%R`;
File="/tmp/satimis/comparison_"+$user+"_"+$now+".txt";

From Perl Documentation:

qx/STRING/
`STRING`

A string which is (possibly) interpolated and then executed as a system command with /bin/sh or its equivalent. Shell wildcards, pipes, and redirections will be honored. The collected standard output of the command is returned; standard error is unaffected. In scalar context, it comes back as a single (potentially multi-line) string. In list context, returns a list of lines (however you've defined lines with $/ or $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR).

Because backticks do not affect standard error, use shell file descriptor syntax (assuming the shell supports this) if you care to address this. To capture a command's STDERR and STDOUT together:

$output = `cmd 2>&1`;

To capture a command's STDOUT but discard its STDERR:

$output = `cmd 2>/dev/null`;

To capture a command's STDERR but discard its STDOUT (ordering is important here):

$output = `cmd 2>&1 1>/dev/null`;

To exchange a command's STDOUT and STDERR in order to capture the STDERR but leave its STDOUT to come out the old STDERR:

$output = `cmd 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3 3>&-`;

To read both a command's STDOUT and its …

the correct way is

var = raw_input("Enter something: ")
print "you entered ", var

using input is unsafe as it evaluates your python code as commands and can cause someone to hack your code.

I didn't know that! You've at least enlightened two people.

Just out of curiosity, what does raw_input() do different from input()? Does it escape out everything, like !'s, /'s, and such? Or, do something to where they couldn't define/change other variables with their input? Am I close?

Thanks for the quick answer! How does one typically delete/find the buffer? tfile->delete was my first guess, but it causes segmantation faults since the ofstream constructor was not called...

The problematic snippet of code writes the interesting data from my monte carlo sim.

Can you post that code snippet? It might help if our members had that to look at.

Did you check out this link here?

Actually, it is different. PCI-X is compatible with regular PCI, whereas PCI-E is not. Check out this link I found, I'm sure there are better ones:

In the future, please choose a more descriptive title for your threads. "urgent..i need help.." tells us nothing of what your problem is.

Further, claiming your thread is "urgent" is rude. It implies you deserve more attention than other members who have posted before you, which is wrong-- we try to prioritize issues here based on how old the issue is, not by how "urgent" the member thinks their issue is.

Welcome to Daniweb, and I hope this advice helps you here.

Just a helpful hint here on the forum for you:

Cn u plz not use chat spk here? Wat do u want 2 do that for? U got all d time in d world 2 make a post, so there's no need 2 uz chat spk n here.

Please, for all of our eyes' sakes, spend about 30 seconds more on your post, and spell words in a non-lame fashion.

kthxbye! :D

I would figure so long as it's consistent in your program, and you're not using a "reserved word" for your language, you'll be in good shape.

Hey there dlh. Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. I will definitely consider adding a donate X form to the subscription page. However, I think you misunderstood me. As I said, I need about one dollar per signup. However, I don't plan on asking my members for this money. Instead, I plan on perhaps partnering with some company in that I would put their advertisement on the registration page or work some sort of partnership out where I end up making about one dollar per signup through advertising. Definitely not going to be charging the members.

I like this idea, if someone can do it.

Is it not possible to squeeze in another ad aggregation service on the forum in somewhere? I could stand another ad, if it meant keeping the site open. I just thought that ads that we know are spyware related were not in line with our goals here of fixing people's computers, that's all.

What part are you stuck on? Do you need help designing it?

Most people here won't write your code for you, but can help you get started with some suggestions. Let us know what you're stuck on, and we'll try to give you a nudge in the right direction...

Alex is correct, but I just want to comment on this. I do have the ability to filter out certain advertisements that are inappropriate, etc. And I did so to the WeatherBug ads, granted I was told that the software is spyware.

However, please keep in mind that when I filter out ads, they are not replaced with other ads. Instead, they become unsold advertising revenue. For example, turning down the WeatherBug campaign has cost DaniWeb $XX per day, but that is something I have no problem doing on an ethical ground.

I just want you guys to keep this in mind when suggesting that I remove advertisement campaigns. For example, it is simply not practical for me to turn down advertisers who would like to advertise products I simply don't like, don't feel are of good quality, or are based on anything that is at all objective. It's simply not a practical solution for a business which receives all of its revenue from advertising.

However, if you guys stumble upon any advertisements that are illegal, spyware, etc., then I have no problem turning away the advertiser. Please just keep in mind that I don't personally endorse any advertisements on the site.

I feel that this No-Adware link should get pulled on the same basis as the Weatherbug one. Nobody wants this site to go under, or for you to not have enough funding, but I think there is a big integrity issue here. If we can't endorse a tool/site …

I've dealt with this in the past regarding advertisers on the site. Dani does have the ability to filter out certain ads, and she's done so for me in the past. If you know of a site that is particularly undesirable, and it's showing up in the ads we're rotating, please, PLEASE let Dani know-- we don't want to be the source of our own problems, I'm sure.

When are the files regenerated? Immediately? At system startup?

You might be able to go into the registry using those keys provided in the link you gave us, and delete them. Then, try deleting the files manually from the locations specified in the same link.

Sometimes, antivirus programs can't "Fix" something because there's nothing to fix; just stuff to remove.

Have you tried calling Sony Spare parts? I know most OEMs offer a spare parts department; if you call them, they might be able to give you the exact part number.

Well, gee.

For once, Google's no help. I tried searching, and this is the only thread that came up!!! :o

You probably don't need a password.

Temporarily, hook your computer directly up to the cable modem. Open up a terminal window. (Win2k/WinXP, Start -> Run, type cmd. either way, click OK. )

In Windows 2000/XP, type ipconfig /all. There should be your DNS servers listed in there.

Under 9x/ME, you can click start -> Run, and enter winipcfg /all.

According to my trusty Python Pocket Reference, it's the input() function:

input([Prompt])

Where [ Prompt ] is the string you would want to prompt the user with, obviously. So, from what I can tell:

foo=input('Please enter a value:')

I'm rusty, but I think that would print Please enter a value:, and assign the user input to the variable foo. Or, some combination of that should work. Like I said, I'm kind of rusty, but plan on jumping back in to Python Real Soon Now...

I went ahead and split your thread out from the other one. Even though you're having a similar problem, your situation might have different conditions or modifiers that may not apply to the original users post. In the future, remember to start your own thread, for the sake of clarity and completeness.

Have you checked for viruses lately? It's possible that a virus has infected MFC.dll, or something.

We had a thread about this going on a LONG time ago. It will most probably help you out:

Thank you for clarifying that before I started to make a fool of myself by reffering to RISC and CISC in my presentation. Your info was very helpful!
(btw, my presentation went well, and I was complimented by my instructor :-))
-Soral 3.0

Awesome!

Since I kind of work "in the industry", I got to see a presentation on the whole deal. I wish they'd've made the numbers indicate relative performance across all lines, but go figure.

For more information, check out http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number .

Hey thanks for answering my question about cache alc6379.
But what do you mean RISC and CISC doesn't play a part here?
I always thought that Intel was going for RISC and AMD was basing its CPU tech over CISC....
Of course, I learned that from word-of-mouth so I could be misinformed...
Could you clear me up on that?

-Soral 3.0

Well... here's what it boils down to, as well as I know it.

The reason why RISC and CISC don't come into play here is because it's all CISC. I think that the Itanium processors are RISC, but they're generally not compared in the same leagues as AMD-64s or the Pentium 4 chips. Intel offers both RISC and CISC chips, but in the desktop (not workstation) sectors, they're pushing their 32-bit CISC Pentium 4s and Xeons.

Where it would matter was if you were comparing Apple, Sun, or IBM hardware. Apple's G5 Chips, Sun's SPARC chips, and IBM's POWER chips are all RISC, and it would make a difference when comparing them to your standard x86 architecture. RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer, and CISC stands Complex Instruction Set Computer. Basically, the RISC processor is supposed to have a smaller command set that you can issue it, which is supposed to mean that you do more with less, and speed things up. That's why an 800mhz HyperSPARC processor is "faster" than an 800mhz Pentium 3 processor. (well, only partially why. The HyperSPARC …

May the Lord be with you.

wondering if anyone can help with my post "USB not responding to multi-accounts" ??

da_muslim,

Please stay on-topic to the thread. If you've posted another thread in this forum, others will be looking at it.

It'll all be well and good if any Pentium over Pentium 500 runs faster than the previous. If Intel does stupid things like come out with a Pentium 510a that is actually slower than the 500, it'll suck, and lead to great confusion. This is my only concern on the change to the CPU numbering system, it has happened with other products, (Nvidia's graphics cards come to mind, you needed to do a LOT of research before buying an Nvidia card a few years ago, when GF2's, GF3's, GF4's, and MX's were all floating about at the same time...GF4MX's often could be beaten easily by GF3's, even some GF2's could outperform some of them!).

Here's hoping that Intel's not opening a kettle full of worms, or worse, cockroaches.

That's basically what they've done, though. I forget the numbering system off the top of my head, but the rightmost signifigant digit indicates the chip "series", and the 10's and 1's digits actually compare the performance and "features" relative to the other chips in the series. An example:

The 500 and the 600 series of P4s aren't comparable.

in the 500, there's 515, 525, and 535. 525 should outperform the 515, and 535 should outperform both of the lower numbers. But...

Then, there's the 600 series. Say, 615, 625, and 635. Same as before , 625 outperforms 615, 635 outperforms 'em both. But here's the funny stuff....

Does a 615 outperform a 515? Maybe... maybe not. The numerical …

never mind guys i fixed the problem by reformating. i found out i have a virus on the computer so i just reformated. but i still need help with the sound. see my eariest thread, in has more info

Well... there you go.

More than likely, you didn't have a virus, but some nasty spyware. There are such beasts that will do things to disable spyware/AV programs, just like viruses do. It's scary to see how the lines between the two are getting blurred.

Glad to hear you're up and running again, though! :D

I never meant to sneak it on the computer... do it together!!!

Well, the way I look at it is this... More than likely, the significant other would be offended that you'd ever suggest this. The way it turns out sounding is like,

"Yes dear, I say I trust you, but I want to install this program because though I say I trust you, I don't trust you enough to not do this. "

...And that's never the way you'd want to go. Bottom line in my book-- don't try any sneaky stuff to catch him in the act. It's going to end up hurting more than neccesary, and the situations just going to become more inflamed. If you really don't want him doing this, the only way to have any change is for him to come to the intimate realisation that his actions are going to cause you to leave. If he is not ultimately aware of that, he'll have no reason to change his actions.

arent there programs that will keep track of all web sites someone goes to.... it would not be a filter but more of a "camera" big brother is watching????

would not that do the trick????

sorry I dont know of any programs, Ive just heard of them from friends that have teens...

i would not mind a gmail invite....

There are keyloggers, but then again, if you're using one of these spy-type programs, you're invading his privacy. That, in my book is just as bad as him looking at porn on the sly.

I think that antioed's comments are very poignant-- I'd give you some rep points if hadn't done it recently already!

Really, there's not much you can do.

Honestly, I recommend a stick. A BIG stick. If your boyfriend is downloading porn, then there are other issues aside from the computer that you need to contend with. You could block every porn site that you could find, but he could definitely find more. That's just how things go.

The more effective thing to do would be to say, "We need to have a talk". Tell him that you cannot tolerate your significant other looking at porn. If you're not comfortable with it, tell him. If he does not respect your wishes, he does not respect you. If that's the case, he might not deserve being with you.

I know this is a technical forum, but not all answers to problems are technical.

Hi there,

I split your forum out of the one that you replied to. In general, proper forum etiquette would dicate that if you have a seperate issue, even though it's the same as the original poster's, you should want to create a new thread, so your specific issue gets the attention it needs, as your situation may be different from the original poster's.

What is Python? Python is great. ;)

It's an object oriented, open-source, multiplatform scripting language. Its target is similar Perl's: you can do anything from System adminstration, quick application prototyping, CGI web scripting, text processing, math, to whatever else with it. There are even toolkits like Tkinter and wxPython that allow you to do GUI application development, but I've never really used them before.

The syntax of Python is nice-- it basically makes you write readable code. Unlike C, C++, Java, any other language, really, the indentation of the code isn't optional-- it's actually part of the syntax, and if a nested statement isn't properly indented, the interpreter will actually bark back at you, stating that what you just wrote is "wrong" because it's not indented correctly.

I'm just starting to get my feet wet with Python, but I love it already-- it's fun to program with it, and the documentation is EXCELLENT-- there are some great O'Reilly books that have helped me out with it, and on top of that, being open source, the Python website, has just about everything you'd need to know to get started, too.

The person doesn't want to change the password just crack it so that no ones knowes he was in past where he's /she is allowed to go .
I think i can speak for the Admin and Mods of this fourm on this one .
This is not what this fourm if about ,we do not offer that kind of help here .

Yes, caperjack is right on this one--

Any posts that actually discuss cracking an Admin password will be deleted, without warning. Even if your motives are pure, the risks of that information being misused far outway someone's innocent need for such instruction.
