What about textonyms? What is being counted? Read https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Talk:Textonyms

As to performance, you have other considerations such as is this some embedded Java, single or many core and so on.

Try to not leave out details. About the PC just shut itself off. After what steps?

For a dead PC we strip it down till it beeps in protest or stays up. At the age of this PC it's not hopeful that it's something minor like the battery after you measured over 3V so try telling me about the shut off. After what was done?

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

A passing voltage here is any reading over 3.00. 3.00 and lower and it gets replaced. A Volt meter is required but if you don't want to get some 10 buck DVM, just put in a new battery.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Let's start simple. What is the voltage reading on that CMOS battery. If it's too low, many PCs sit in reset.

At about 9 years old, be sure to inspect for the BAD CAPS plague (google BAD CAPS if you don't remember this one.)

Finally, try it without RAM or GPU. It must beep in protest.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

The answer is yes but. The yes is just that but it requires a programmer to sit down with the client to discuss what the problems are then send the programmer out to fix the sync issues.

Today however I run into systems that were built without a top tier programmer and the owner wants this fixed. They often dismiss it as something simple if only someone will reveal the cure.

So your current code is losing records. Sounds like a verify, re-try system is needed.

PS. As to your local database part of the question. Your choice of how to design that. Both database and simple files to be sent later work.

That's not a problem but how splitters should work. Both displays should show same content and in Windows show as "monitor 1."

I get the feeling you want more displays, not duplicate displays. For that, you do not buy splitters.

So far Apple does not offer a way to run IOS on a Windows PC or in other machines running say VMs on non-Apple gear.

Yes you can google it up about the question but you would be in hacker territory without any support and maybe in violation of agreements and possibly law.

@rubberman. The BIOS password is more of a PC thing. It's really helped in driving down the value of a stolen laptop. If you think a BIOS password is a show stopper, consider Apple's Lost Mode. Look it up and tell me what you think.

Hello new member. I'm sure folk will be very interested in how much this job is paying. Sometimes folk just plonk in some homework assignment and don't show their work so far.

Be sure to read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question unless this is a job you are shopping around. If you are shopping be sure to share a complete software design spec and pay.

I can't find the <svg> tag to tinker with this in jsfiddle. Is this code incomplete?

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Actually this is a known thing. The BIOS boot password reset varies with the make and model. If it's a current design ONLY the maker or their service folk can reset that password. Usually a small fee is involved.

Most of the time this reset does not wipe the drive in the PC so that's the good news.

The bad news is that I've seen folk destroy a laptop trying the youtubes and more.

Two things.

  1. The locations are in that plugin and may not list your city.

  2. I'm using Opera and VPN so while I'm in the USA, this is what the test page at http://www.geoplugin.com/webservices/javascript returned.

    function geoplugin_request() { return '204.52.135.132';}
    function geoplugin_status() { return '200';}
    function geoplugin_credit() { return 'Some of the returned data includes GeoLite data created by MaxMind, available from <a href=\'http://www.maxmind.com\'>http://www.maxmind.com</a>.';}
    function geoplugin_city() { return 'Toronto';}
    function geoplugin_region() { return 'ON';}
    function geoplugin_regionCode() { return 'ON';}
    function geoplugin_regionName() { return 'Ontario';}
    function geoplugin_areaCode() { return '0';}
    function geoplugin_dmaCode() { return '0';}
    function geoplugin_countryCode() { return 'CA';}
    function geoplugin_countryName() { return 'Canada';}
    function geoplugin_continentCode() { return 'NA';}
    function geoplugin_latitude() { return '43.6437';}
    function geoplugin_longitude() { return '-79.3787';}
    function geoplugin_currencyCode() { return 'CAD';}
    function geoplugin_currencySymbol() { return '$';}
    function geoplugin_currencySymbol_UTF8() { return '$';}
    function geoplugin_currencyConverter(amt, symbol) {
    if (!amt) { return false; }
    var converted = amt 1.3458;
    if (converted <0) { return false; }
    if (symbol === false) { return Math.round(converted
    100)/100; }
    else { return '$'+(Math.round(converted * 100)/100);}
    return false;
    }

There it is. This plugin did not find me. I proved it so why spend another minute on this?

Looking at line 11. Do you need "SELECT *"?

Why I ask is that line 15 appears to only effect 1 column yet you used SELECT *

Another idea. Since the file system on cards is well, what it is, you find you have to format that file system once in a while. I see this on my car camera since again, not a great file system.

Also, as to your last log dump, what happens when you manually copy one of those failed files over?

While I've written in some dozen or more assembly languages what I want to point out is what looks to be a fatal flaw in your design. Ready?

The string is fixed in size at 5 characters or bytes so you may not swap in 2 characters without overflowing that string's memory allotment.

Why not loop through your input string and on your system output the characters you want if they match and if not, just output the unaltered character?

I thought the recent outage was British Airways. My reading on this pointed to management issues, quality of the outsourcing and choices on redundancy and backup systems.

The benefits are here, but when your management cuts support and hardware, you see troubles like this.

You can see the same thing in mass transportation where there are not enough trains, planes or automobiles and so on.

The i5/i7 angle is almost moot for gaming. The link never has i7's but you can put the money there. That said, I moved to the i7 for many other reasons. Games are hit and miss as to whether it matters.

Try one of the builds there, change to i7, use nothing but SSD and move up the GPU as budget allows. That's my take on gaming PCs today.

Anyone looking for futureproof need only to look to the past. If you think you can build a futureproof PC then I have bridges for sale.

Looks? After a while you learn that it's not an area to pay for. Save your bucks for SSD or larger SSDs and step up the GPU.

My favorites are in that link which I would modify to have SSD only and maybe steps up in the GPU.

Some versions of Server come with CALs. So there is no clear clean answer. And this:

Remote Desktop supports two concurrent connections to remotely administer a computer. You do not need a license server for these connections

So there's that. So check what CALs your version comes with and try simple. Like 10 minus what CALs the server came with.

(edited) I looked at this and my thought here is this is about "your site and cache contol." I think you need to break your PC browser then read more at https://www.google.com/search?q=w3c+cache+control then you can proceed to tune your web site to your needs. Remember that others control their PC so you need to not fix your PC in this case but fix your site to work with broken (?) browsers.

While I do have apps out there in C#, why must this be a DLL? That seems unnecessary at first. That is, get your code working before you worry about DLL creation.

That's a partial answer to my questions. No one I know has tried to tinker with the data in such a way. For decades I prepare what I want to burn before I click burn (or record, copy.)

Good luck in your endeavor but I worry that your app would be too specific to the burning app and would not work if I went with ISOBurn, FreeBurn, CDBURNERXP or other apps. Besides the issue that CD/DVD/BR recording is in steep decline. Folk here copy stuff to USB sticks 99 out of 100 times.

This can really rankly folk that are fine tuning the buggy whip production lines.

I think you need to try what you wrote in your last message about registering and see what you get. Here I did not do that step (no reason to) and did not see any messages outside of what my app would generate.

I did ask what your goal was but didn't get a good answer. Sometimes folk want to lock down the PC to stop use of USB sticks, control file copies and so on. That's an arms race that is summed up the in the movie WarGames.

So why not try your idea but what happens when I use CDBURNERXP, FreeBurn or other apps you didn't expect? I'm guessing what your goals are.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

@fo2sh. The code is open source which means open to inspection. I neglected to note the algorithm is on the web too but frequency? Nope, it's just setting the clock from NTP sources to within a few milliseconds. If that is not good enough then you need one of those cellular equipment time sources. My background includes cellular base station design.

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/press/internet-protocol-journal/back-issues/table-contents-58/154-ntp.html has the basics and references on NTP.

I've yet to find anyone ask for more since the goal is the time be set to withing a second. Since system response time can vary under load, it would be silly to think the clock being off by 100 milliseconds to matter. Base stations and the DSP system there would need better than this so they use a station clock (those dedicated highly accurate clocks.)
