"CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!!!!!" is a NEW SCAM.
http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2017/01/30/can-you-hear-me-now-scam/ covers this one.

Just hang up.

That's not a nice link. I do read that the composite input is shared with the component inputs but this manual omitted how to change the input from component to composite.

"Need help installing the TV? Refer to the printed Quick Start Guide"

Maybe the composite input and setting is in the other manual? It should be the same as connecting a DVD player.

I've read this complaint before and many MP3 CD players have no clue on order by tag or meta data.

The most common fix is to prefix 01 to 99 in front of each file name.

Just for you. Read and run http://www.w3schools.com/code/tryit.asp?filename=FCCZ4KEI353K

Nope, never looped. You should fix that.

@Susan. If the browser has no name, dead end. I looked over http://caniuse.com/usage-table and will call it "Android Browser."

http://caniuse.com/#comparison has "Android Browser" so now you can pick through your code and see if it all is supported.

I clicked on 4.4 and landed http://caniuse.com/#compare=android+4.4 which is pretty extensive.

PS. You can pick other versions like 4. http://caniuse.com/#compare=android+4 and what a mess. Lots more partially supported tags.

Here's a bit more about that default android browser. What is it? It's not like I can head to caniuse.com and check it out.

What is that (horrible) thing?

In short why I install Chrome on my older Android phone. The phone maker is never going to update it so Chrome it is.

To me, this smacks of code style (wars?) Maybe folk continue to debate code style (well, yes they do) but why not let a robot do this?
http://codebeautify.org/css-beautify-minify for example and move on to the next thing.

It was not fun at one job where the lead was replaced and demanded that all code meet his choice of standards. In that case it was his call that all code adher to the one true brace style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style lists 9 styles and for me, there has never been a project where style paid off.

I'm not writing there should be no style at all. I'm writing that this will be a job for robots.

@Mark. Sure. Read from https://www.google.com/search?q=10+capstone+title

@Dani, only in respect to being lumped in to "other" when you read smart phone market shares.

@Dani, it's a robot. It's noted at http://jollyrogertelephone.com/how-to-send-your-telemarketers-to-this-robot/ but the conference call method was too much work so I came up with a quick alternative.

Sorry but can you call me back on my good line at 214 666 4321?

I swear I'll tell them to call me back at 214 666 4321.

@AndrisP It's great you were able to escape all this with another OS load. I have a few diehard Blackberry friends (well just one now) and they had a rough time letting go.

For the record, I have tried for a very long time to share what I run into but about half the time folk bristle at the notion of the cracked OS. I hope you understand what I'm getting at. As someone that has owned PC repair shops, I like to keep at it and get called in on the tough cases.

That USB thing, very annoying.

Malware? Just like donuts, is there nothing they can't do?

Not only that I wrote about it. But the issue I'm seeing is some odd USB enumeration/driver issue. Fortunately it happened at the office so I got to see it first hand and think about it and try something that paid off.

Missing Hal.dll issues are not fixed with boot record/sector repairs so far. And unless the OS was a crack copy, I haven't seen a Hal.dll bomb in years. (sorry about my words there, yes I have seen it, but the OS was pirated/cracked.)

Crossposting is going to get noticed. Anyhow my first thought would be asking if there's an API for this. Seems Dr. Google says there is.
https://www.google.com/search?q=prestashop+api&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=prestashop+api+login

I'd use a search like this. https://www.google.com/search?q=c%23+delete+locked+file

I'll share a spat of recent boot failures in W10 that I've worked on and got by. It was stupid. I'll leave others to point out where stupid is.

It appears some updates on reboot will hang on boot. This is not a boot record issue but some sort of USB enumeration/driver issue. What fixed them was not boot record work but simply unplugging all USB devices and powering up and waiting for the update to complete. When that was done we plugged in the keyboard+mouse and logged in. After that we could plug in the printer and such.

I worry that boot repairs could break things and the USB issue I've run into (in forums I moderate) won't help.

@Dani, after this week in the USA, I was searching for a little humor in my upvote. If you didn't see it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELD2AwFN9Nc and our 45th was the influence. The search is absolutely great, seriously. Sorry if folk miss humor.

For those that didn't know, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keno and other sites show you the odds. Only the new or still foolish think there's an app to help them win.

Web threats? I added two things on all my Windows and even on my Apple/Chromebook/Android. What are they?

1. Web Of Trust. Can't say enough nice things about this one. It won't stop users from plowing ahead and doing bad things but here it's warned me ahead of time.

2. Adblockers. Today I like Ublock Origin. For Chrome you may have to use Adblock+. More than adblocking, it has blocked bad web content.

@V, here's that and a longer read before you post.

https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question

Just tried it. Thank you for doing that and the front page fixes.

What cereal said. The author replied and may have wiped out my thought of a backend process to fetch and make the content.

No, sorry, something like this is out of scope for TablePress.
Tables can only be edited on the “Edit” screen in the admin area.

I can't dismiss my idea entirely since I've used the concept of 2 steps versus 1 step for decades to solve problems like this. That is, I'm not there as your programmer to dive deeper.

That's a mess of a post. But I did paste it to http://esprima.org/demo/validate.html and it didn't complain.

You may have to reveal more such as what editor, what line etc.

I do not have a solution for you. Just thoughts.

I started by reading https://tablepress.org/info/ but that only clarified there is no apparent non programmatic way to the solution. So my thought is you would have to create some backend middleware to source the information and reform it to be ready to be used by this plugin. This is more than I'll take on as a question or answer. But it seems to me, this is where some may burn up.

That is, it may not be a simple single step but you have a backend process that gets the request to go get the data and prepare it for TablePress use.

Trump invaded my dreams last night. Over the decades I've done a lot of work on electronic designs and he showed up to a design review and said this about relay connections:

There will be no connections to common terminals.

I woke up feeling like Lloyd Bridges/Steve McCroskey in Airplane!. I must cut back on the Trump inputs.

I'll defer EMS to Dr. Google.

OK, I don't have a make and model here so I'll share a recent install that was a HP dv6910us running Vista. Nothing would appear to let it run Windows 7 or beyond, 32 or 64 bit. I had a break and came back to revisit this since the laptop was in otherwise great condition.

So here's what it was. In the BIOS there was a VM setting for the CPU. It may have been VT but the CPU was an older AMD that if you google you learn about VM woes. That was my clue to try it with this disabled in the BIOS. Once that was done, the Windows 7 DVD booted and installed.

Later we (it's an office laptop) used a W7 license then upgraded to W10 64 bit and it ran without any search for drivers. It will live out its days doing web searches and office work.

TL;DR. The make and model matters. Sometimes you have to google a lot and try things.

OK I think I get it but no fix I've heard to date. It's entirely possible to break Windows by hiding all admin accounts. And you can destroy it by removing the admin accounts altogether. Microsoft taught how to do this in some admin class for locking down Windows.

So in their view, not broken but how it works.

@Jim. At the top of the page of https://www.daniweb.com/ right after "Ask us a question" is the entry boxes for a new post.

@Jim. I went through this on a Vista laptop but you buried your post. Top post please and avoid necroposting.

When you think the case is closed, mark it as answered please.

Spammers. What a nuisance but either you heavily censure them or offer tools to us that allow us to Black Mirror "block" them.

That is, it would be grand if a third voting option be available that if I so chooes the spammer by name would never appear in any page I view. Yes, the moderator/owner already has the ban at their disposal but often they is laggy. Maybe some forum will implement the Black Mirror block mode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Christmas_(Black_Mirror)

The "Problem line" is waiting for you to write code to find the answer. If you don't know the algorithm then that's what you research next.

What no one pointed out is rarely do folk write your code. They may read and see where there's an issue but here, your code is missing.

I am missing where you are stuck here. That is, your problem statement is a tad unclear.

Try this. Take the problem and break it down to discrete steps that you would do manually. Code each step and step towards a full solution.

I would be guessing why one would write this "wheel" given what I see at http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Hailstone_sequence
That is, the C++ version is there and ready to use.

https://www.google.com/search?q=mysql+show+space+instead+of+NULL sees this is not a new issue and it's your choice to clean up the database or code as needed.

@S

I'd like to try this. Remember the discussion about non-admin installing apps is a well done topic so I want to hear more about the issue of admin cmd and no text boxes.

My first thought is the hidden admin account(s) could be why. Also, since Windows has since Windows NT had a fatal issue with corrupt profiles I'll write we always have 2 admin accounts. It's like the Rule of Two in some movie folk watch.

https://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/python/scanf/ tackles this as well as notes the real answer.

I have to ask. Why must it use FIFO and such? And I'm sure folk will also tell you to share what you have so far.

My question is why do new programmers put a bag of bricks on their backs then try to run a 10K race?

I don't see what's wrong and will only comment the code looks OK.

https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.globalfootball.co.uk%2F did balk about one line. Any chance that's it?

To Quinton. I looked at https://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/hardware/threads/439940/tek-6633-all-in-one-motherboard and you need to do TWO THINGS.

1. Make a new post and share your PC make, model, links, details.
2. Never resurrect many year old posts.

That's a lot of things you need to code up. However I just tried https://codepen.io/justinklemm/pen/cDrFo on Chrome on my LG G4 Android phone and after I let it use the camera, I had a video feed onscreen from the camera.

So, my advice is to divide up what you need to do and to tackle this step by step.

Duplicate? https://coderanch.com/t/675129/search-Google-anonymously-typing-keyword

That's simple. Start over and give it more space next time.

Both. In the html (I'm repeating myself here) the comments can go as not needed for this and rolling up the what looks like repeat code with parameter changes in the Javascript. This would reduce line count and the number of bytes going to the client and in short, optimizing what is there.

I see you're getting downvotes. Read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question to avoid this in the future.
