 | Re: Sherlock Movies Hello, I have not joined the Sherlock bandwagon... been mainly searching with Google, and when I want to lookup movies, there is a home-grown website here in Wisconsin that shows all of the listings. I'll have to try this at home. Christian  |
| | Hello, Making the folder is easy. Just make a new folder. Call it Applications on the new volume. Then, when you install programs, use the customize features in a bunch of the installers to shift the volume from your system drive to your second drive. I have done this on …  |
| | Hello, It is possible that you lost the hard disk... this is why backups are so important. Things like this can happen anytime anywhere -- on linux, on Mac, on Windoze. Try booting from the CD-ROM with the OS disk that came with your computer. I am guessing it is …  |
| | Hello, At work, I am seeing three new variants of deviant behavior on our network. The machines are Windows 2000 and XP Pro, and they are patched to recent patch levels. Norton Antivirus does not detect these viruses, and the internet is really skimpy on details. SYSTESM32.EXE -- yes it … |
| | Hi, I am glad to be a Mac / Linux guy! I believe along the lines with Alex that Microsoft has really caused problems by having the parts of the OS bloated with other functions, such as web browsing and print management. I think that a system who requires everyone … |
| | Hello, If you do go to OS X, your best bet is to get to OS X 10.2 (Jag) or 10.3 (Panther). The orig OS X (you said you had 10.0) and 10.1 had serious printing issues (SLOW!) and other little things up with it (my Powerbook had non-optimized video … |
| | Hi, I doubt it is the firewall. If your network traffic is routed through your firewall to get to the servers, there is something wrong. Then again, there could be an internal firewall, but that doesn't make sense here. You mention your desktop icons. Are they shortcuts, or full-blown data … |
| | Hello, If you reboot, does the computer allow you to start reading music CD's again? I will need to try this... having only 333 MHz, I tend to just play the CD's from the stereo, or right off the disk instead of processing MP3's with cycles I really don't have … |
| | Hello, HP makes a nice laser printer; so does Apple. If you went color, I would suggest Epson inkjets. I like them more. I would be looking for Postscript printing, and if possible, get a network printer (either via jet direct, or some other solutions) so that more than once … |
| | Hello, Mac programs are not compatable with windows programs. Their data files might be, but unless you install Virtual PC, or find a port of the application (such as office, open office), then the software will be useless. There is a nice shareware version of MacAmp out there for ~$50 … |
| | Hello, I doubt you are going to be able to write directly from the camera to a DVD burner. While I know Firewire is fast, I am not certain if the hardware is designed to go that route. I'll have to get home and look at iMovie and see what … |
| | Can you describe how you are trying to search? I would like to replicate here. Christian |
| | HI, What do you mean by "auto memory?" Are you thinking of self-saving, such as in Microsoft Office, you can tell the software to save every 5 minutes? Christian |
| | Hello, It sounds to me that your hard drive is not formatted. Boot with the Panther CD, and when you get to the first screen (Welcome?) there will be a blue apple in the upper left corner. Click it, and choose Disk Utility. Inside of there, you will find tools … |
| | Hello, To answer your questions: .tar.gz files: These are tape archive files (tar) that are compressed using gzip (gz). I prefer doing all of this in the command line, and you probably should get invovled and learn how too! .tar.gz is a lot like your PC .zip files, or your … |
| | Hello, The easy simple answer is: Macs feature different hardware chipsets than PC's. The better answer. Macs use a Motorola - IBM jointly developed processor called the Power PC chip. They are based in IBM's POWER chip set that was started in the 1990's. PC's use chips based on Intel's … |
| | Hello, According to Symantec's website, SystemWorks 3.0 works with Panther. Do you have LiveUpdate working on your Mac? I am wondering if a tweak on the software has been released. Christian |
| | Hi, Type in the root password at the prompt. You should get a shell. /data maps to some partition on your hard drive, such as /dev/hda3 You will need to find that out. Perhaps you can "cat /etc/fstab" and see the mapping. You cannot use "df", as it is likely …  |
 | Hello, /dev/hda2 is a filessytem on your hard drive. (hd) means that it is a hard disk. (a) means that it is the primary IDE channel, primary (not slave) device. (2) means that it is the second partition on that drive. Linux systems are servers, and by convention, servers partition … |
| | Hello, As a matter of DaniWeb policy, we do not do homework for people. We do assist. First, how would you write the program in psuedo code? We can build there together then. For example: we want to convert inches to centimeters. Psudeo Code: [CODE] // Need variables for the … |
| | Hello, To best understand the material, you need to USE the material. Write some small programs, such as writing sentances on the screen. Then, do some simple math, adding 2 + 2 together. Then, work in input statements "input a: input b:" and add those together. Then, work on a … |
| | Re: Help Hello, It is standard policy at DaniWeb to not do homework, rather to assist others doing their homework. That means we need to see sample code from you. If you do not know how to write it, then write some psuedo (sample) code and we will help you further. Christian |
| | Hello, You might want to explain more what you are trying to do. This is not the right forum to discuss ethics of data mining, rather the technical end of doing it. Perhaps you might touch on how you plan on gathering your information. Making a web page? Writing C++ … |
| | Hello, I believe you can also right click on an application, and tell it not to close the window right away. This is an OS thing... my linux shell remains open. Christian |
| | Hello, This is how the DaniWeb is supposed to work. Students, post your code, and people will come around and help you with it. It is best not to privately ask questions of people who help you though, because they may go on vacation, or be away for a few … |
| | Hello, If you do not mind submitting the code, I'll try to compile it. I bet you have something else on your Windows (most likely) though. What are you using as an anti-virus software? Christian |
| | Re: i need ur help Hello, It is DaniWeb policy to assist you in writing your code, not to do it for you. You mentioned that you are learning C++. What have you learned so far? We need you to provide code, so that we can help you tweak it. Christian |
| | Hello, You might want to send your dad an email then :) IF Memory serves, you can read the string into a [40] string array (for safety) and then do a string copy of the first 10 characters. Don't forget the 11th character for internal storage of your \n (return) … |
| | Hello, An array of files makes no sense. Arrays are data structures; files are residents of a file system on a hard drive (or RAMdrive). What are you really trying to do? Christian |
| | Hello, Are you using OS X or OS 9? I am also wondering if you formatted HFS or HFS+. I think that on the larger drives, you want to go HFS+ due to sector size. It is designed for the larger hard drives, and security and so forth. Let us … |
| | Hello, Sounds like "Stuck Download" to me. I avoid products that try to promise compression or faster download rates. The amount of bandwith that you have is what you got, and unless your compression scheme is better than .zip or .gz or .sit, you are going to add bytes to … |
| | Hello, I was wondering what MMORPG meant, and Darakuli's attitude and non-professional email address just motivated me to consider the next post in the queue. In the future, Darakuli, it may be helpful to leave out the attitudes, and to not shake your rattle if someone doesn't answer you promptly. … |
| | Hello, I am not a big-gun programmer, but I think that you may be lacking some C++ libraries or have to make tweaks to the makefile before you can have a successful compile. It is possible that the libraries exist, but the directory paths are wrong. Or different C compilers … |
| | Hello, Are you using OS 9 or OS X? If 9, you need to go into the Chooser, and change the printer. If you have Quickdraw GX (unlikely) or Desktop printing enabled, you might be able to click on the printer and make it default. Under OS X, you may … |
| | Hello, You can 1) Remove Microsoft Word installed in the classic mode. This will force your Mac to learn where OS X office is, and run with that. 2) You can place a alias (shortcut) of word on the Dock, and then drag-n-drop your document onto it to launch the … |
| | Hello, What version of OS X are you running? What other programs are available? Does the computer lock up after you see this condition? I have not seen/heard of it before. Please provide all details. Thanks, Christian |
| | Hello, Tek, haven't you gotten a Mac yet? I thought we converted you a few threads / months ago. We gotta work on a hardware plan for ya. Maybe see if Dani will get you one, and write it off as a business expense. We need a DaniWeb R & … |
| | Re: Linux on Mac Hello, YDL worked fine for me on the Mac. I had it on my Powerbook G3, and on a Workgroup Server. I like OS X better than Linux on a server, but YDL was very nice on the older hardware. I also ran MKLinux on my Powermac 7100, but that … |
| | Re: Clam Shell Mac Hello, What is a Clam Shell Mac? Are we looking at a laptop? iBook? If you could tell us the model number or name, that would be great. Christian |
| | Re: Https Hello, You might want to clarify a bit more on what you want to do. I am also not certain this question belongs here in a C++ / C discussion. Christian |
| | Hello, Did these programs work properly before 10.3.4? When did you do the upgrade? I am wondering if things were just fine with 10.3.3 or not. Also, do you keep backups? Are you in a position that you could go back to 10.3.3? What kind of Mac are you running? … |
| | Good Morning, Wondering if anyone has had any preferences with DVD burners under Linux. Either SCSI or IDE is fine with me. I would like to take advantage of the various sales out there for a decent DVD burner, but all of the boxes say Windoze.... Am wondering if anyone … |
| | Hello, You have adware / spyware on your computer. You might wish to switch to Mozilla Firefox to avoid this problem. IE likes to come down with bugs a lot. I am also sending your post to the Security group, where the fine folks there will walk you through the …  |
| | Hello, I think C++ is easier than calculus. Calc has to deal with infinite numbers, and often memorization of integration rules and trig functions and infinity. I know I was never very good at it. I think my "sane math skills" stopped at trig and geometry... stuff used to build … |
| | Hello, Aparently, you did not include any development libraries from your software installation. For example, on RedHat, you have the option to install development libraries and can choose the various languages. I think that the easiest way to do this is re-install your box with the distrobution that you have …  |
| | Re: Tool Needed Hello, You shouldn't need it, unless you have a bunch of libraries, or are using depreciated methods to implement your thingy. C++ is an extension (add-in) to C, and you can get printf and a bunch of other functions to work just fine within it. Now, if you are looking … |
| | Re: Lots of Finders! Hello, It sounds like something got whacked on your startup volume. First, since OS 9 is working, boot into it, and get your data off the drive. You may not get a second chance at that. Next, Boot with the OS X CD-ROM. You will get the install screen. Go … |
| | Re: Startup help!! Hello, You got lucky. As nice as Macs are, they still are computers, and will lose data if you do the wrong thing. Backing up data to removable media (CD-ROM, DVD, network) is the only true insurance you have against hard drive failure. I am surprised the indexing service corrupted … |
| | Hello, Does this computer have problems locating anything else on the web? For example, can you look at [url="http://www.foxnews.com"]www.foxnews.com[/url] or something like that? I am wondering if your DNS is all messed up. Try doing this: [url="http://207.46.249.57"]http://207.46.249.57[/url] If you get to windows update, you have a DNS problem. Let us … |
| | Hello, Open up the Applications --> Utilities --> Disk Utilities and do a permissions check on the drive. There might be a whoopsie in there. Christian |
The End.
