This looks very close to what I read at https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/queue-linked-list-implementation/

@Ruba, the link shows implementations in a few languages including Java.

We've veered off the welcome mat here. I'll share we turn on -wall or -WALL for GCC compiles. For our code, we resolve all the errors and warnings or understand why GCC complains. Just because it works isn't good enough.

I've never uninstalled Windows no matter which version. All I've ever needed to do is to install the OS of choice. That in all cases for me has wiped out Windows and replaced it.

What OS do you want to install?

Again, put another way, no need to uninstall if I wanted to install Linux.

What paid tools do you like?

After seeing many folk correct errors on their own with tools such as mentioned so far, should I recant and well, what should we be doing?

I really like W3C's tool. So beyond that how can folk automate site checking for other than valid code. As in items that matter.

Both tools have helped fledging web authors to get their site up to speed with less errors. Isn't that a good thing?

I like the analyzers because they give you a good first look at sites then you use your expertise to fine tune or ignore some of the results.

Not everyone has access to Dani or her kind. Automation is needed.

I wonder how you feel about the W3C checker.

Well done. https://gtmetrix.com/reports/linkstore.com.vn/mClRHeOP only complained about one thing. I rarely see that good a score.

From someone that works in a hospital.

1. They get one N95 mask a week.
2. Management has warned all staff that if they speak to the media or post about the conditions they will be fired.
3. Masks are being made by everyone. the better ones allow a HEPA filter insert from vacuum cleaner bags.
4. There's a face shield design using acetate sheets from office supply stores. Think old school overhead projectors.
5. COVID-19 testing is rare with results not coming back in 9 or more days. Government tells us testing is available. It's not. Except for celebrities, politicians and well, convicted felons that are in the news.

I think the answer is don't destroy what you need later. Also, read a nice discusion about when to use it at
https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/66698/exit-a-tkinter-gui-program

Are the dat or txt files in the folder the executable is in?
I know in Visual Studio the folder can change based on your compiler settings so I can't tell you where these files go. You have to be somewhat familiar with your compiler, IDE, settings and your files.

Let's see what RDP does first. I'm reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol

So yes you can. You set up your remote session and use the system your IT provided to change passwords. But RDP is not changing the passwords directly as it's doing what is in the linked article.

Odd question. What made you think RDP has such a feature?

There's a flood of news and events that no one can keep up. You noted the EPA.

How about supension of habeas corpus? Link and remember there are many. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/21/doj-coronavirus-emergency-powers-140023

Why is such power needed? It's not.

@vanhungvox. On all your computers you backup what you can not lose. Restore from your last backup. No backups? This is usually when folk learn backups were never optional.

We don't give a hoot, pollute!

I see Javascript tutorials are widely available for free. If I write code for you then you didn't learn Javascript. Instead you learn to get solutions from others which won't help you fix this solution if it breaks.

Invest time learning Javascript.

While the CDC has missed a key item in controlling the spread which folk have written about, be sure to read
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/specific-groups/high-risk-complications/older-adults.html

Even if you take the lowest % values offered, we should be ready for this. I hesitate to write what those preparations are but I will talk with family as if it's their or my last days. (Yikes!)

Did you read up about mailto? Example to test:

mailto:ctestier@gmail.com?subject=Important!&body=Checked.

I'm torn between linking to such stories but March 23, 2020 I'm reading where the US president and others want to return to normal and that the elderly and people at risk are OK with dieing to save the economy.

What is this? Hunger Games?

While there are many discussions about The Dead PC (google that) the basics remain that you reduce the parts count to bare minimum. For beeps (if your motherboard does the beeps) you don't need a case, RAM, video card, drives or all the fans. I get beeps on boards that do beep with just the PSU, motherboard, CPU, HSF (heatsink and fan) and the speaker.

If these few parts don't beep I'm looking at the bad or misconfigured parts.

I'll repeat. LESS PARTS. NO CASE. Use the motherboard cardboard box to hold and insulate the motherboard for the test.

To me this is a dumb idea. At first it may work but as more install this, AIGrow and alternatives the system is just one of bots and few real people.

The economy of the system falls as there are fewer and fewer posts and follows by people. I won't call it hate, but foolish.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.form.activate?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=netframework-4.8#System_Windows_Forms_Form_Activate notes how to activate a form. If it's not the active application the taskbar will flash.

It would be improper for any app to force itself to be the active application.

@Lev_3

Good to read your reply. With a stack of Python, Java and Javascript you will be ready to tackle what I see in the market here. In my circles we have a few areas that require different skill sets.

1. Embedded solutions. You might be coding in assembler on single chip controllers such as those put out by MicroChip to "C". Learning C++ would prepare you for this world. Those that learned Java had a harder time of making the transition.
2. Web apps. Python, Java, Javascript and more live here. This is where you hear about a "stack" more than other areas.
3. Apps. This gets close to crazy as you might be tasked anywhere from C++, Java, the .Net suite and even systems like UNITY. C++ and Java students along with those with skills in the graphic and musical arts get to work here.
4. Mobile apps. There are systems such as UNITY here along with native dev kits from Apple and Google so you get your basics from Java, Python and can start work here. Depending on your job or app you also get to go deep on other areas such as web services.

My view is that you need to develop a stack. You'll learn to deal with more than one language or you won't be able to move from language to language over time.

My stack is from Microcode to a few high level languages.

You seem to be having posting difficulties. Try it without the characters that don't post and PREVIEW your work before posting.

Also, share your code so far. For homework and more, no one writes your code for you. Show your work.

I searched DANIWEB to see if such was asked before. Try this link:

Remember when the Utah Jazz basketball team was tested for COVID-19? March 10th 2020 or thereabouts.
They used up HALF of the availble COVID-19 test kits in the state.

What was that number? 58

As of March 13th:

The state had the ability to conduct about 100 tests per day, with an estimated supply of 300, according to Oklahoma’s commissioner of health Gary Cox.

New York City on March 11, 2020?

The city’s public health laboratory is only able right now to test “samples for 60 people” a day, the health commissioner, Dr. Oxiris Barbot, said on Tuesday, adding that she hoped to ramp up to roughly 100 people a day soon.

The USA is a petri dish. Close your borders now.

I'd start with tutorials and documentation because your question is too open ended. Here's how I found documentation and examples.
https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=How+to+create+c%2B%2B+server+pages

That project should be attempted over a few days if you are a seasoned R programmer. If you are new to R then you would allocate time to complete courses then begin the work.

Is this homework? If so then review the classwork to this point as your class should build up to this assignment.

Somewhere about 2000 I stopped going to work and did the consultant/programmer/designer thing. A lot of my former coworkers did the same.

You need to clarify what your question is. All that aside I read https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/product-key-recovery-for-windows-7-for-acer-aspire/b28093f3-98c3-4322-acea-82923ee75b17 and it covers just about every angle to W7 keys and an Acer today.

I think it's at https://books.google.com/books?id=Gm2hzeWhou0C&pg=PA13&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=4#v=onepage&q&f=false

I skimmed to page 43 and it looks like it's free to read.

I use Dropbox. I can put it in some .zip file if need be.

BUT if the friend has like most of us an anti-virus installed even that may block it.

Since you don't have to use that OS, why not start using something else?

For example, many just need email (ThunderBird), an office suite (LibreOffice) and Chrome.

Isolation works. The paper at https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf shows this is not about stopping a virus but flattening the curve so hospitals are not as swamped.

The curve is pages into the document but let's say the isolation drops the peak by 2 to close to 3 times the max. That will save a lot of lives.

@Dani. I got chicken. Really. Went to Trader Joe's just after 9AM (their new opening time) and was able to finish my shopping list.
Here's shots from my usual(?) Sunday shopping.

The checkout person said all employees arrived at 4AM to stock shelves for the 9AM opening. It wasn't fully stocked but I'm good for a week or so now.

@Reverend Jim. Remember Sliders? That Fever episode? Recap at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9u4J6x7-oU

I have a close friend that wants to visit from Canada next week. I hope they can put that off for now.

My wife said I should listen to today's announcements.

Google was mentioned yet they didn't know what he was talking about. Read: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/trump-says-google-is-building-a-coronavirus-website-to-speed-up-testing-for-covid-19/

Trump said that Google has 1,700 engineers working on the project.

I saw the flow chart and immediately thought "1,700 engineers?" I felt like Superintendent Chalmers and the Aurora Borealis who asks "Can I see it?"

No.

You asked if it would "support" not if it might work. Overclocking has from my experience been hit or miss but no maker supports it.

This means you try it and hope.

Please show some effort (per the Community Rules.) Also, NO company would do this so it's a bad example. Such would likely be web based and developed with a stack of web technologies which is another sign this must be homework. Show your work. Point out where you are stuck.

I think https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2020/03/05/coronavirus-outbreak-lessons-asia-south-korea-china-watson-pkg-intl-ldn-vpx.cnn is worth the watch as it compares national responses to COVID-19.

At the beginning you also have many other areas to learn from basic math to game theory. Are you taking courses in those areas as well?

As to free Python courses there are many online. I would use google to find them which is yet another skill you must develop.

Wait a minute. You appear to work for or own a SEO company. Shouldn't you be writing the answers to this?

Welcome. Be sure to complete your profile information so others can find you.

You may be feeling very alone. VB6 showed up over 20 years ago and there are deep issues with it running on today's Windows 10.

I suggest you move up to Visual Basic that's out now along with your new Matlab so you can ask them for support. Otherwise my bet is it's you and Google.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/social-security-tax.asp writes "Social Security taxes fund the retirement, disability, and survivorship benefits that millions of Americans receive each year from the Social Security Administration."

But as many know there are those that want to defund this but will that mean the Social Security taxes end? (No.)

And yes they do pay out of the general fund because if Social Security taxes went into their own fund the last time someone calculated it, it would be the largest fund on the planet. Can't have that!

I've heard that the haters of social insurance systems (SSI) failed to defund so their next ploy is to crash the system so they get to start over.

The article raises a lot of questions like why didn't they give them to hospitals or PEOPLE before they expired? The article does ask.

RJ. What Province are you in? How about expired N95 masks? How can these expire? (I don't know.)

Regarding the media no longer calls on him, part of that is a new rule where "Reporters were barred from recording video or audio footage during Monday afternoon's White House press briefing."

This is in the news so no links from me. Said video and audio barring appears to be extending to meetings with all party members, their leader and is only allowed when they say so.

@RJ. Yes I know "the people who know what they are doing have either been fired or muzzled ..." Scary. Be safe.

This just in:

1. 350 hospitals workers exposed to COVID-19 but are not sent home because "the heavy volume of cases scotched plans to furlough workers who had been potentially exposed to the virus." https://news.trust.org/item/20200308001731-hjzm5?ref=hvper.com
2. Nursing homes are having outbreaks. https://globalnews.ca/news/6645886/coronavirus-nursing-home-fears/ and others.
3. Medical Screeners at airports such as LAX have contracted COVID-19. "They are assuring us we are safe. If we were safe, screeners would not be getting sick."

This is not contained. The view I see is the US Gov is unwilling to take the actions required.

This just in. Sorry folk, I won't give up links or vet this.

USA stockpile of N95 masks: 12 million.
Surgical masks (better than nothing?) seem to be about 30 million.

So if health care workers use one mask a day that's a two day supply. More at https://imgur.com/gallery/DM903Oi
