Here we have the elephant box for such things. And thankfully no problems with Amazon/other deliveries being stolen. I can't guess how this differs from today's solutions. There are plenty of folks with concepts they never move forward on. A good percentage are so afraid the idea will be stolen, some can't accept it's not marketable and the list goes on.

I've lost count of folk in that situation. Most just wither away because they are so afraid their idea would be stolen they can never talk to anyone about the product so no one can help them move forward.

Tell more, make a kickstarter or such and get going?

Here, XP dropped out about 2 or so years back. Our clients were not running XP so it was an easy move. There are long discussions about that old OS, but for me I was glad to see it go. Lost count of the ghost hunts as we tracked it back to the OS being hit by the user with registry cleaning or just an OS that had been running for a decade and a reload fixed it and our apps.

As to performance, since machines have been ramping up in performance for years any loss in interpreter performance must be more than made up for moves forward in the CPU area. And with your goals, why not let it lag a little on old gear?

Nothing much I can add to this but good hunting.

A few src folders should fix that.

If they want to install some IDE and such, you could share what your favorites are.

Or chuck the entire idea and put the whole thing on the web. IDE, user spaces, forums, etc.

Given the story, compile your script? Here's a link where they cover that for many OSes. Windows, Linux and others.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12339671/how-to-compile-python-script-to-binary-executable

Lots of interesting stuff there but for me is this claim:

I've created a presentation that gathers the process from compiling your python sources to package them for every platform (last slide contain links to more detailed instructions)

PS. Why I think compile is the answer is that it's your code and not their code. Since you are going to freeze it, then your code gets frozen too.

It's a commercial product I saw at some trade show. They seem to offer demos, answer questions so if they are not answering your questions my bet is you should never speak of them again.

Tell more. Up top you write "none have been able to decode" and now you write about "magic audio converter". If all you want is to automate this we've done that by using apps such as you noted (magic) and then AUTOHOTKEY to do the automation.

Post edit: Never had an "encryption" issue. Just oddly encoded stuff done by those cheap DVRs out on the market.

What I found was they used various chips to do such encoding/playback and was not entirely standardized. The company I travel and work for eventually had to had it reverse engineered for close to a million bucks. Now you may think that too much but when you move some 1000+ surveillience DVRs a week you see where a cheap DVR can pay off having to get custom work done.

I can't tell all but know that we have to travel to the source to get such work done or start a reverse engineer effort.

Anyone that thinks this stuff is a G.something standard is new to the game. Frankly I think that for one off situations replacing the DVR is the cheap exit.

Small small world. While I can't reveal all, I traveled many times to parts east and no, such a convertor is often only from the DVR maker.

The usual workaround is to play the content on the DVR and capture it the usual way. Sometimes you encounter folk new to these DVRs and they are thinking like PC folk. Again, no. Get back to the maker to see if they created export or other tools.

Let's say your web master is proficient in one over the other. The one wins.

The thing is, with close to 70% of email being spam you may never want to offer this service. One bad member and your email service is blacklisted and you have the others upset with you.

Remember I take your question as if you want to be an email provider.

Went and googled it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/541390/extracting-extension-from-filename-in-python seems to fit here.

Sorry but don't spare those details. It would be a shame to do any work and find this is one of those Celeron CPUs that may not be up to doing this on Windows. OK, scanning again, no version of the OS noted so here's what I do to install Intel's latest.

But first. There are many things that can dog such a system. Last month someone had turned on high visibility or such and "Windows Assistive Technology was swamping the PC.

OK, off to Intel's land. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/search?keyword=4th+Generation+Intel%C2%AE+Core%E2%84%A2+Processors+with+Intel%C2%AE+HD+Graphics+4400 has most of these. You can filter on what OS, etc.

I know you are a regular here, why not tell more about the machine? Full model number, story like "I installed Windows 7, hated 8?"

Nevermind me.

What is not possible? I read more about Drools. "A range of support packages are available including up to mission critical 24/7, as well as training and consultancy via our Global Professional Services unit. Email sales@jboss.com for more details."

The support and training is Global.

Back to the accounts? They never accepted that they needed an account on the server. One might guess the server had the guest enabled.

I thought by now you had the account area under your hat and why I have begun to wonder if you had some other issues to cover. Your last post makes me worry you are trying to forgo accounts and Windows Shares.

I re-read your top question "Is it possible to use Guvnor with it? Any example?"

You may want to lead with another question like "How to learn to use this with that?" I found the link given to answer your first question positively and inside the page examples were given.

But your reply tells you really had a different question in mind. Try making a new post with the real questions.

http://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/6.2.0.Final/drools-docs/html_single/ seems to note this area. If it's broke, there appears to be a bug reporting system there.

Truly strange. Since all prior answers fail you have sadly found a defective area. I'm taking your word on that. Very strange to read this. Maybe you should just forget Windows networking and look at WinSCP instead.

WinSCP has Win Explorer integration: winscp.net/eng/docs/integration
(in reference to "Between a Win 8.1 & Win 7.", not the NAS)

In parting I did have a long chat with someone that hid a tiny detail. They never accepted the name/user/account matters area. They were stuck in the past how this worked and wanted things to work as if it was 15 years ago. It was tiring to say the least. Here, at least you figured that out.

Sad to read the machine was defective new. Seems we are crash test dummies. The 5748 is a series so I can't check the usual. In the past I would dive into which Intel video was used and hit intel.com for that but here as you wrote you are screwed as all 3 parties have walked away.

I didn't read where you tried the old fashioned way of drivers but as the exact model is not here I can't offer more.

Go ahead. And by the way, once you revealed the NAS model number it was pretty interesting to find how much folk have written about shares over the web. I see many stubbed their brain toe on accounts. Can't guess why that area needs to be re-hashed almost every Windows share discussion.

NP. Sorry but we would be duplicating the web at that point. At least you figured out the account name and shares. Sorry if I step out here. Window shares across the web are a rather well done topic. I don't see where I could add any more to prior discussions or fix it so it wasn't going to go boom.

Good luck and glad you figured out the other usual area.

Maybe there is more to the story. As it's that new, why not let Dell fix it?

There's also a bunch of folk that wipe the supplied OS and today it can be hard on folk to pencil out an install plan. Anyhow, good to read that Linux is fine but maybe there's more to the story.

go(2) didn't continue past line 5. You may want to refresh your memory about return(). An accepted explanation is "The keyword return causes the function to exit, passing control back to the calling function."

I was using an account name (BOB) so we could call that out. If I'm logged in as BOB on my PC, unless I enable that Guest networking (dependant on device/Windows) I must have a BOB account on the device/server.

This seems to elude a lot of folks. Maybe because it wasn't that way years ago on consumer things.

Anyhow without the exact NAS I could never guess if it needed some setting changed. I know folk want their privacy but without that detail it's a mystery on the NAS. The Windows share is pretty easy once you learn the rules.

GOAL 1 is all about credentials and more. There are many prior discussions about shares across the internet but I thought it was accepted that mapping a share across the internet was considered a security risk/bad idea. That doesn't seem to stop folk from doing that.

If there are string values the code line should be similar to listBox.Items[i].ToString() Try that.

Which sounds right. The web page used the new user. I can't see where you created the new user account on the clent PC and logged in under BOB.

It appears you are repeating a well worn area. It will dawn on you very soon now.

As I can't find out what NAS this is, I leave that in their capable hands.

That's one of those well worn areas. No. You would never count on the admin account working across Windows for many reasons. If it did, can you imagine the carnage?

I think you understand accounts so why not create "BOB" on the server, then log in on the client on your "BOB" account and try to make a connection? Or just enable the guest account.

As to the NAS, well again, I don't see whose NAS so where to go next?

More of a question really. The first image is what I see when the account has no rights to that share. Since I can't see what NAS, I can't be exact here but Windows, when I share a thing means that unless I enable that guest account will only allow accounts on the "server" to access.

This is a basic gaffe by many. They forget to create an account on the server for the person that wants to access the object.

So again, I'm BOB. I want to access a share on the "server." I must have an account "BOB" on that server or I'm not getting access. This is one of those rather well done discussions on network shares. But I don't see where you created the needed accounts.

I'm unsure if you know this now.
** https://www.google.com/#q=whatsapp+for+pc+is+malware **

Try the usual from the Malwarebytes forums with scans with Adwcleaner, MBAM and the others for some automated cleanup.

From memory. It's been a few years since I released some WM apps. That doesn't take effect on forms that are already displayed. You have to refresh the form/display.

Like this? (link follows)

But you wrote "any power supply" so the answer must be no. There are non-PC power supplies out there.

Just googled it and there are C# ready to use and modify sources out there. Example: http://code.daypilot.org/65101/timetable-tutorial-asp-net-c-vb-net

Now if you didn't tell all and this was for your school class assignment, well I would never guess that. I take it that we do such to solve problems or learn how such were solved.

To me that sounds unuseful but sure, take a look at current timetable apps and you see the screens and reports and some the code underneath. Why start with a blank piece of paper? It's not like this is homework. Use what folk have learned to date.

Why not start with http://sourceforge.net/projects/tms-sys/ and modify it to you needs? Also, why C#?

Most of these are web based today since you would want it to be up and available all the time rather than an app in C#

I'll share. I found that such machines were never documented to detail what would happen. We would have to experiment to find what would and would not work. That was over 5 years ago. Today the cost to use such machines (they are quite slow) blow away any savings so they are disposed of and we pick up newer PCs. Mind you I live in a nice place where woot.com and such have fire sales of such newer desktops for 99 bucks. Which is why these old desktops are dead to us. This has caused a few to flame about many things but here it's all about the money.

We pay staff by the hour so if the machine eats the user's time, even if we saved the 99 buck PC we lost more than that over the next year.

Sorry but I didn't dive into how C# makes and runs code in depth.

In short it compiles to byte code (remember Java?) then the CLR runs that byte code. Your thread is run in that CLR so to escape the CLR we launch another .EXE and there we are at full speed tapping all cores.

This would not be OS dependant but a nature of the CLR, C# and how the code is not native x86/x64 code after compiling.

Hopefully this will be enough for you to figure out that threads in C# have nothing to do with threads on the OS.

About CPUs and Windows Versions, there can be limits which are well published but I get the feeling you never figured out how C# works under the hood. Hope this helps.

I googled "Windows Enterprise 64 bit." I didn't find what that was except it would cost me a suitcase of green.

Or... add a port that one can connect to for debugging. We never went that far as the log files were always more than enough.

This seems to be an extension on your last question. I'm going to share and be inexact here.

Rather than dive into your code you may want to look at the machine behind C# where it's CLR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Language_Runtime) is just one instance on one core and threads appear to be in that CPU instance.

I quickly saw how similar this was to Java and when I needed to get all CPUs up and working would not thread but launch the app again which revs up another CLR and that CLR runs our byte code C# app.

Hope this removes the mystery for you.

Glad my old app idea worked out for you. As to the new Thread question I never deep dived into that area except to think that Microsoft's C# engine was the reason behind it all. Launching the app, while a bit more piggy on RAM seemed to work better for me too. Sorry but I am not on MSFT's compiler team, just a coder.

I can't tell if you've read prior discussions on how more cores/threads is not linear in speed. 2 threads is not twice as fast. The OS has work to do so that piles up and slows us down.

In one old app I didn't use new Thread but simply launched my app again with some parameters so it knew what to do. That way the OS would pick which CPU to run it on. And yes, it worked out great.

You may want to watch what's running on which CPU the next time.

I can think of 2 areas that have impact on time.

If this is a classic HDD then seek times pile up with more files open. Those seek times are in milliseconds seeking around that many files could result in longer processing times. If you could read a lot of lines at a time then you avoid a lot of seeks.

The second is not as likely where you go over the number of threads in one CPU. You may find this not to be true here but I want to toss that out here.

More threads would mean more seeks. As some point the CPU gain is lost in IO.

Then don't write the bash file yet. Even if it's 2 make files, write down the steps you use to make this one file and share it here so folk can share how they would create a script to automate it.

Since time has passed I'll share our solution. We didn't try to sniff packets and such but added a debug tap/log/output to our setup/control/terminal program so where there was trouble we had the needed output.

I'll take your word that " we have this software " as you are the author and need to add the feature to see all this.

Long ago we did stuff like that. Be sure your setup is good by opening the COM port with a terminal to test if the modem is working and what strings to send and expect.

These modems are all over the map so I had to dive into the modem's specifics back then. Today I'd repeat the same work such as a terminal for the first test and setting up other config items like we read at:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21522794/atcmgs-returns-error

Let me share an old method I used when I needed to run 2 makes. I created a script like this. CD /project1, make, CD /project1, make, then add more commands if there is a need.

Before I start, let me offer this link about SQL Server 2008 Express.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25052

If you want to make your app run without dependencies on SQL Server 2008 then you code to not use SQL. Now it's an app just like others.

If you want to install missing support systems like SQL then you read the above link and start adding code to download and launch the installers for the missing support software.

I use MySQL for reasons I won't get into here but never created the code to install it for the end user. But I did supply an one page install document to get MySQL onto the target machine.

Maybe you need to learn about SQLite. Here's what they write about that.
"SQLite is a software library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine. SQLite is the most widely deployed database engine in the world. The source code for SQLite is in the public domain." https://www.sqlite.org/

Can be true when we don't install a printer driver and set it as the default.

Oddity or weird fact.

You may want to check your code. Examples of the call show

MOV AX,4C00H
INT 21H

From memory ah is 8 bits and you are trying to jam 16 bits. Maybe you meant ax?
