PS. On another forum I'm now getting requests from OPs (original posters) because their spam posts are resulting in negative moves in their SEO. So random postings with links can have the opposite of the intended effect. Be sure to find SEO discussion forums about that.

After more reading about this, using Quora looks to be good for Quora unless your answer is spot on, a winner and has offered extended answers at your site.

If you are just on that site to spam, you may not see any hits.

The more I learn about SEO I see SEO is not guaranteed to get you traffic.

Why isn't your site in your profile so others can comment about it?

Welcome to Daniweb. Such a post is going to not be a good 1st post as you skipped over the how to post and what to post. I have to write that your 1st post is not unusual but let's get off on the right foot.

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

Yes, I know that folk want to just dump their code on sites and have folk do the work but that's not how it works here. This is more about you sharing the issue or problem and where you are having a problem. If you did want to have others do all the work then you post as a Jobs post along with pay and a full description of what the code should do.

The last time I looked at such a conversion I found IronPython. Look at that with https://www.google.com/search?q=IronPython

I wonder if you watched the video and heard the advice not to buy the Deepstar unit but find a shop that would connect it and push the button? That way it's not thousands of bucks.

I find a lot of folk are still not backing up what they can't lose. I see 1TB drives for under 39USD and recovery of what you can't lose costs hundreds. Backups are cheap, recovery is time consuming, not always do it yourself and costly. Usually it takes a big loss for folk to figure this out.

More videos about recovery at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIwbndHTp_8
https://youtu.be/tNUsoangGFs

In my town we have those 300 dollar data recovery shops. They have those deepspar units.

XKCD covers this as well -> https://xkcd.com/869/

Make it mobile friendly and avoid making versions for desktop, mobile, iPads and such. You'll go mad trying to keep it in sync and working.

I was unclear. As a rule I don't duplicate the web but share what I'm using and am looking into. That is, I want what I write to be unique and not what you can google. If you want to lookd into ddrescue and bad sector workarounds, check that google I gave above.

But another nod to Deepspar's nearly automatic fixer for drives that delay to register or read badly. Watch that video about it.

Keeping in mind this is about POST and not SQL, http://php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.sanitize.php does seem like a good thing.
Other sanitizers at http://php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.sanitize.php might be used depending on the need.

@tony, I think it is an answer. Over the past few years I've been seeing a lot of iffy drives and been looking for reasons and methods to get the data out.

I forgot to mention another common tool we use. RECUVA. Free and plenty of tutorials on the web.

Adding with edit: I didn't mention anything from https://www.google.com/search?q=ddrescue+skip+bad+sectors

You have asked some very interesting questions plus using the name of a character in a series which is why I wrote that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV does note metadata in .wav files but also notes that apps have been confused at times when you do that.

I have to write that I would not count on metadata to work in .wav files. You can try but I think this is an area you have to test and see how it turns out.

Why yes it can. And small world I just found a tool via Linustechtips that tackles that issue.

Watch and see what it is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyr14_B230o&feature=youtu.be&t=549

You may not want to buy that tool but there are data recovery shops that have it.

Thanks for this article. Here's another that tells a tale of not keeping your products up to date and secure.

I have to write I think that's how those other apps function. Very few apps agree on what to do with meta data. I see this also is answered "No" and maybe at https://askubuntu.com/questions/131003/rhythmbox-and-metadata

The maybe is for the file types MP3, OGG but not FLAC. Even plugins don't fix this one.

So are you a FLAC user?

Explain what you mean by "when I run it from my board"? Most surfboards don't run apps or have a browser.

Even with a client server you'll have to convert strings. For this I open the manual at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cppcx/strings-c-cx?view=vs-2017

A Platform::String can contain only char16 characters, or the NULL character. If your application has to work with 8-bit characters, use the String::Data to extract the text as a const wchar_t*.

There are example functions in the manual. But finding the right pages can be challenging. Hope this helps.

Let's focus on line 1. Didn't the class cover how to output text or strings? If it didn't why not google "How to print a string in Java?"

Part of what you learn when programming is how to research. If you disagree, please share why. I'm running into some that only want finished code or they call the discussions "not helping."

If you want finished code, I supplied that as well in 161 languages.

@OP. It appears you are seeking folk to write this for you. Let's look at line 1. Are you revealing that the class hasn't covered how to print a string yet?

PS. Added with edit. If you need to learn how to print a string with Java, why not google that?

How about 161 (one hundred and sixty one) solutions at https://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Loops/For

I'm a bit surprised this is an assignment today as it's been done to death.

Those requirements are pretty old. For example Python 2.7 is called out yet it was released in 2010.
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/#release-schedule

It's all too possible to find new issues if you don't have exactly what is called out in those requirements.

To look into this I first asked: https://www.google.com/search?q=How+to+report+bugs+to+the+Selenium+team%3F

This lead me to https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues so it appears there are plenty of bugs there.

https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium goes over requirements that I'd check again before reporting a bug.

@Reverend Jim. I tried this logout on another laptop I use from time to time and sure enough it was an one way trap door.

Just for all those wondering what's going on, I don't know but I did jump on another PC to check and it was logged in. So I logged out and could not log back in.

The first hint there was a problem was when I went to login on my Android phone. At first I thought it was just the phone but nope.

For now, if you are logged it, you can post and more. But DON'T LOG OUT.

DON'T LOG OUT!

I just tested this on another PC and could not log in on a W10 PC with Chrome.

Thanks RJ.

@alan, there's something up. I know I can't login on mobile now.

Also, when I click Preview a new error shows up "The Member ID field is required."

My bet is something's broken and I dare not logout from Daniweb because I may not be able to get back in.

@RJ, I tried a Forum like https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/2 and my menu looks like this

<DANIWEB> rproffitt Finder (icons) Read Respond Contribute then the search box.

I haven't seen the word More there.

As to access from Android, I think it's best to leave that to my other post.

@RJ, I wanted to see that menu so I tried to login on my Android phone but got stuck in the Dazah and Daniweb login loop. Something seems broken there so that's not going to help in reviving DW if you can't login at all.

I put in a top post at https://www.daniweb.com/community-center/daniweb-community-feedback/moderators-place/threads/517629/can-t-log-in-from-my-android-phone

RJ brings up a great point. My best job in Engineering had me doing a lot of presentations. On many topics from new product ideas to sharing the solution to issues or how we were going to tackle issues.

Big nod to basic psychology and speech classes. If not, join Toast Masters for a year.

@OP. my son reminded me that some classes are "work for this company" and you get credits. No pay internships. If you pass up such classes I applaud you since my view which doesn't matter is that work should receive pay. But if you get school credits then that's pay in the form of credits.

Next, you have your degree but are job hunting. You and thousands others are lookng for a job so this varies with country or location but here if you had a technical degree you head to employment agencies. While in school and even out of school I find students to not leverage their school job office.

@OP, advice comes from your counselors. Jobs and internships from the jobs office. So if you are looking for a job, you don't usually get those at the careers center. Here you have counselors at the careers center and the internships are in the job's office.

I'll share that at the 2 year AS type college my son attended had a jobs office. That's where many start.

Check out the link I gave and a few articles. The scripts for 9gag like sites is out there. The money has everything to do with getting a site to that scale and reach.

I see you added some example SQL query but you asked "just like 9Gag." To which you can get one of those scripts and then focus on promotion, hosting the millions of posts and the team you need to moderate and monetize.

I think the how involves mostly funding. Why do I think this? https://www.google.com/search?q=How+to+create+a+9gag+website

So the problem is mostly funding. It can't be a coding issue.

@RJ. I can write that almost all TVs mute when you use the headphone jack. When Amazon Prime Day had the Toshiba Fire TV for a very good price I picked that up as my first 4K TV. Well, it's UHD and I agree what a mess they made with the naming.

OK, so the headphone jack turns off the speakers and there's a bug in their audio software that causes dropouts so this model (50 and 55 inch share the same design) so it's definitely a DO NOT BUY until they fix that since you would be very annoyed at the bug. This BUG only shows up when you use the Headphone jack!

That aside I did order up a Toshiba sound bar to connect with HDMI ARC and CeC so I'm using a single remote which is very nice.

-> As to your voice issues, this TV is performing far above prior TVs we've had as to dialog. I still have the closed caption on but find I don't need to see it most of the time.

Your first post and it appears you spammed. That's not a good start.

As to your question, some claim you can "Learn C++ in 24 hours" yet I know folk still learning every corner of this language years later. So the answer appears to be from 1 day to years.

Time to open an old project and see if it still works.

Netbeans is the IDE and is 8.2
The JDK (Java Development Kit) version looks to be 1.8. May want to see about fixing that unless there is a reason you are using this such as for some embedded system or legacy reason.

PS. Please answer questions put to you such as "Do you have any other code in the same IDE that successfully imports any Java.sql files?"

@JamesCherrill. 1.8 wasn't on that list so I wonder if such an old version has support for their imports. I think a conversation I had long ago cut off any support for Java prior to 8.0.

Just a thought. Both Apple and Android phones can randomize their MAC address. I can't guess how you or Linksys identifies the devices but if I turn on MAC address randomization then I can break through the first gen parental controls on most routers.

Maybe it's this simple issue that you have to get back to the maker to ask for a new system or how-to.

There's a clue you are not using Java as you wrote 2.5.2. There is no such version noted at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history

There are 1.x versions then we see a jump to 5.x versions and up.

Can you share where you obtained this version? Link please.

@d, it's incredibly hard to troubleshoot without seeing the code and the error messages from that line of code. Rather than me write at length how to make a better post, I supplied a link to where pritaeas wrote about everything that is needed to get working on a problem.

Add most detail using pritaeas's guide so others can see the code and maybe it's a simple thing.

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

Skip down to Composing a good question. Here you told a portion of what would be needed to troubleshoot the app.

My thought is that connecting to the usual SQL is written, not imported.

It appears as if you want folk to write your code and functions. That's pretty rare. But on topic about your new item 1, it can be simple or complicated.

Simple: Mute all playing items. Too many examples at https://www.google.com/search?q=HTML5+MUTE+SOUND+BUTTON

I worry here you are asking everyone to code this for you. This is usually done with you go with a For Hire type post with a well done RFQ and a price. If you are asking for code, that usually ends badly. Almost all members are to help you learn or to help you past a bad bug. Since muting and such in HTML5 is rather well done I worry you just want code.

Why? Just put it on your page with the usual Submit button.
Example at https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_input.asp

I revived your post but I still don't see any need for those libraries. HTML5 and Javascript seem to do what you ask.

Your revived post is full of code and such but you need to really nail what the problem is. That is, call out what line of code fails, what the error message is and really reduce it to the smallest possible example. I doubt anyone will install Greensock just to try it out. Maybe but I would not count on it.

Read "Composing a good question" at https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question

I read your posts and wonder why not go with HTML5 and javascript instead?

1. Background music seems well done: https://www.google.com/search?q=Background+music+with+HTML5
2. Sound on hover: https://www.google.com/search?q=Sounds+on+hover+with+HTML5
3. I'd leave volume control to the devices. As in, maybe a mute button but volume controls on page are often uncalled for.

I just ran into a new programmer that was thinking clients were like televisions. They wanted their app running on the server to just show up on the client.

Simply not going to happen without the client running some app to make it happen (classic setup and not Jurassic setups like mainframe and terminals.)

So let's talk about the basics. You have apps on your server and your clients. They work together to get the info out and on screen. In the current and usual setups, you MAY NOT spam the client screens. If you want something to show on the client screen you write an app that runs on the client that responds to your server request to show content.

Now that's a horse of a different color. You changed your question from How? to "I need to hire a programmer or outsource to accomplish this."

That's OK, now post in the For Hire/Hiring forum with the job details, pay and such.

You may also want to omit the c tag since I didn't find the needed API call in c. The needed API is callable from C#, C++, F# and VB. The example code at the link I provided is in C#, C++ and VB but not F# so no big deal since you didn't list F#.

I find it odd you used a cloud installer to install this. https://www.google.com/search?q=install+Python+web+server+on+localhost finds the answer you just need to install Python and if this is on Windows, read the changes noted at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17351016/set-up-python-simplehttpserver-on-windows

PS. For Windows I'm using Ninite.com then checking off Python and using that installer.

@JC. I didn't intend to shame anyone. Let's hope they spend time on their composition of the question.
