 | 4 years, I know... I may as well state my part because it's obvious threads don't dimply disappear after 4 years... if they did, all that valuable information disappears with it. (this is why I'm highly against the "death of threads" syndrome) as far as MS is concerned with the …  |
 | What I'm trying to do is figure out a legit way of updating or downdating my program from my GitHub repository. I'm rather lost as the the approach on this and don't know what to consider. I want to notify a user if a new major update is available, and … |
| | so I've reverse-engineered Tkinter's tkfiledialog functions askopenfilename and asksaveasfilename to figure out how they work: import Tkinter class Open: "Ask for a filename to open" def __init__(self, master=None, **options): self.master, self.options = master, options if not master and options.get('parent'): self.master = options['parent'] def _fixoptions(self): try: self.options["filetypes"] = tuple(self.options["filetypes"]) # make … |
| | I've been working on this in other places so it's a little ahead of it's time, but it still has a few minor issues... heh here's an example to get started: x = struct( 12, # struct size 'x,y,z', # variable order x = bf32, y = bf32, z = … |
| | on the topic of "XFCE doesn't look like Windows" I have something to say to that: http://lh6.ggpht.com/-hyuTprApGr4/VImxYnh--VI/AAAAAAAAIF8/svKMHtsWbas/s3200/Screenshot%2520-%252012112014%2520-%252009%253A59%253A13%2520AM.png  |
| | I'd still love to use WinXP x64, but I can't do that because MS forced me to change... (developers won't support WinXP and choose to follow some garbage standards MS pulled out of their butts and slapped down for others to eat) so I changed to Linux. MS ain't gonna … |
| | Linux is successful because of MS... and I'm not saying this because of the time that's passed. I'm using linux now and can say the software support is 3x wider than any windows installation, and is only getting even wider. MS is pushing out and outdating OS's before software devs … |
 | I'm not alarmed at the fact... I may not be a business, but I don't intend to upgrade to a RAT infested OS at any point in time... heh I just want to point out, yes, Win7 has basically a built-in RAT, though it's not clear if it's operable as …  |
 | Re: open source code > Reverse engineering is illegal in most cases, if that's what you are referring to. yet people still build decompilers. |
| | have a look at Zorin (based on Ubuntu12) they've done most of your work for you, the down-side to it is the devs have removed alot of features used by everyday people such as both Hibernate and Sleep. I've upgraded to Ubuntu14 from that, which was a stupid idea I … |
| | if this is in the wrong area, I'm sorry. :) I'm looking for a good alternative for python on linux/wine that's capable of this: http://lh3.ggpht.com/-cuRe_8IrRCw/VEYPPy8J-3I/AAAAAAAAH10/DnjCVyfCEEg/s1282/VS2010.png ^ the popup under my cursor I need that specific level of informative intellisense, which I can't seem to find in any other IDE. (most … |
| | while I do rate IE8 as the best IE for security (that I've used), I do agree with the MS-control. I'm sure everyone remembers how much I've bamfed chrome, now I'm actually using it and rate it above Comodo IceDragon after having switched to linux. :P http://tcll5850.proboards.com/thread/268/sincere-apology-google though, there are … |
 | I vote for the best language out of simplicity and support... (Programmer's Choice is out of the question) **Python** (specifically 2.7) is the simplest programming language I've seen which offers the most support. It does use alot of RAM as it's a dynamic language. (I recommend 2.7 rather than Python3, … |
| | This language is built with python to give me a dynamic backend to make this possible. The language is based off ASM opcodes but generalizes them into basic coding practices. More info here: http://tcll5850.proboards.com/thread/271/umcsl note: WIP the language is meant to make it possible to convert between ASM and other … |
| | I recommend using a better browser such as Comodo Dragon (safer) or Chrome (better website support) both are still the safest browsers you can get, though with chrome, there's shady speculation that google tracks you. |
| | good luck finding a computer that has the very useful PS/2 or Ethernet ports that isn't expensive. and good luck dealing with MS's new RAT built into Win7 and Win8 (rather than ranting about it for a 60th time, just click an XP thread I've talked about it in) https://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/microsoft-windows/windows-nt-2000-xp/news/287954/danger-windows-xp-sp2-end-of-life-incoming#post2125963 … |
| | I think we should use the technology that works best... newer technology has been built by the next idiot engineers... computers are now missing useful things such as the old PS/2 keyboard port. (I have an awsome multi-function gaming keyboard which was given to me that uses this port) ^buying … |
| | |
| | IE9's security is broken keep in mind ;) (it does work in XP, but I recommend not updating, unless MS patched IE9, which I havn't heard of) Win7 has newer libraries which may be the reason some sites work in IE8 on 7 and not XP. but also keep in … |
| | this is until Windows hackers are able to port Aero over to XP anyways, unless the trojan downloader actually does a windows version check and won't run regardless :) perhapse I can say I CALLED IT! (virus developers are playing Microsoft's game) ^ I have no remourse for these guys … |
| | ok, so I'm kindof a complete noob when it comes to stuff dealing with windows specifically... I know it's possible to have an interactive OpenGL desktop BG in XP as [this article](http://engineering.imvu.com/2010/11/24/how-to-write-an-interactive-60-hz-desktop-application/) proves it works in C++. but I want to get it working in python and have no idea … |
| | so what I'm trying to do is build a progress bar using basic page elements with CSS. http://tcll5850.proboards.com/thread/249/post-progress-bars-development what I want to do is set a solid color selected multiple colors in a gradient based off the percent completed. how can I do this?? I'm thinking to provide a hidden … |
| | so I have this example, which I've slightly modded to get the simplicities out of the way: from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore HORIZONTAL_HEADERS = ("Surname", "Given Name") class person_class(object): ''' a trivial custom data object ''' def __init__(self, sname, fname, isMale): self.sname = sname self.fname = fname self.isMale = isMale … |
| | I'm working on an IDE for a program I'm building, and just found out I need to use ast. I can't seem to find any decent examples to get me started on google... can someone help me out. :) thanks |
| | so I have a bunch of DIVs containing inputs named by ints. I have the parent DIV of these DIVs, but now I'm stuck at: var div = parent.children()[index] what I want to do is get the child <input> by it's name "0". how can I do this?? thanks :) |
| | I'm trying to build a UI that looks like a table but uses a DIV baseing it's internal DIV's off a static textarea. I want the DIV's to position horizontally and wrap vertically... here's the code I'm dealing with so far: <div style="background-color:silver; width:450px; height:200px; overflow:auto; padding:10px"> <div style="background-color:gray; width:100px; … |
| | this JS code goes towards a plugin for my forum. the user-code for the smileys is supplied from a <span>user-code</span> or dictionary object as: "{':\\)':'http://somedomain.com/smile.gif',':\\(':'http://somedomain.com/frown.gif'}" ^while this is user-code, a GUI replaces the textarea containing this, so the user doesn't get to see this code. as for the code that … |
| | I'm trying to build an interactive IDE... the IDE has a file testing interface which displays a tree of the called functions in relation to the data in the file being tested. what I want to do is when you select a function referenced in the tree, it'll highlight that … |
| | so this project is basically nothing more than a python to GLSL translator. https://github.com/ncbray/pystream you have to follow the GLSL rules with the python code, so usage isn't exactly free. the problem though is Nick Bray only documented a little about how to code the shaders, and gives no examples … |
| | Re: XP start up I'm thinking this may be a hardware issue... if it's doing this with multiple OS installs, then that tells me something died and needs to be replaced. btw, you don't have to format your disk... you can just delete the existing installation on the disk when running setup. it comes … |
| | Re: Best python IDE? IDC if this has been solved, I feel my input is needed :) IMO, VS2010 with PythonTools 1.5 is the best IDE. it may not be as glamorous as Eclipse or PyScripter, but it certainly has more functionality and accuracy than either of them. -intellisense (PyScripter does a better job …  |
| | this is just something I was just recently inspired to create... I've had tonz of issues with things that work perfrctly on WinXP, but yet are either buggy or don't work at all on Win7. one of those issues is the driver for my GameMon Universal USB converter which has …  |
| | Re: IDE for Python 1-year, don't care... :P my 2-cents is worth it. XD if you're on Windows, I'd recommend following this related article: http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/python/reviews/380143/review-of-python-tools-for-visual-studio I use it myself and I've got alot of good ratings for it. :) |
| | might I also mention MS wants to control the software that can be installed on your computer, and force you to only use MS-Verified software. meaning things I use regularly such as BrawlBox (yes, I'm a harmless game hacker) would be removed, where things like virus-infected MS-Office installers would be … |
| | basically... I want to build my own extendable drive/image/iso/rom explorer/editor. I'm sick of lookng on google and finding windows help results >_< anyone have any format specs I can use, or even sources which read the NTFS format?? (also include the FAT/32 format if you can plox) thanks :) |
| | ^switching from Win to Lin is a hastle in itself... you're better off sticking to win and upgrading your security. I use Comodo Firewall and Dragon with Avast. Avast - everyone knows what that does :P Firewall - notifies you about a process or possibly harmful action and haults it … |
| | I've dealt with this error before and thought it was a rootkit that corrupted the internals... heh turns out playing with your network settings can actually cause this error... problem is I don't know how to fix :/ I just recently got a new 1TB HDD, and I can't run … |
| | ok... I've hated ChkDsk before for corrupting files, but this is the worst it's ever done: http://lh3.ggpht.com/-97bHH_wPa18/UyTJq5xX69I/AAAAAAAAGNc/EYPiEzy8Ij4/s1186/HAAATE%2521%2521%2521.jpg ^I SHOULD have around 300GB in files how do I get rid of this monstrosity and prevent it from ever corrupting my files again?? I had to wait 3 days for this thing … |
| | MS seems to have been creating more problems rather than solving them... heh |
| | long story short, this laptop had taken a beating and was trashed. but it was given to me afterwords and I'm typing this message off of it. :) problem is, I'm using the monitor I need for my secondary dev-machine, and have no other monitor to attatch to it... so … |
| | so... last night I was working on transferring files from the drive and all... I shut down, removed the HDD this morning to take a .img from 2 other HDDs that went RAW, but when I inserted the drive into my brothers compy (the only compy that supports both IDE … |
 | if you can run bat files: exec.bin (an exe file with a bin extension) exec.bat: @echo off exec.bin I just did this myself, so I know it works ;) |
| | I've crimped a 7z to the 4GB limit and it wouldn't even store that on the drive... (the file was EXACTLY 4096.0MB) you're better off sticking with 2GB-sized files on a FAT32 formatted drive |
| | this problem occured shortly after I fixed the explorer.exe issue, which ended up being a rootkit. I'd figured my .NET packages were corrupted so I just reinstalled them recently. 37% is the lowest it's ever happened to me, but normally my RAM is over 50% when it happens... I'll just … |
| | I'm not sure if this is a malware, or a mis-config... but what happens is this: http://lh6.ggpht.com/-UgZ3wjjfkkI/UwBhDk9LihI/AAAAAAAAF_0/lssTEhz4cQ4/s1007/Screenshot%202014-02-16%2001.54.44.png a new explorer.exe process is created and terminated every minute, causing the first (highlighted process) to eat nearly 4GB of memory. (this is built up after a while of letting it run) aside … |
| | just a little tip if you're going for a console: Microsoft has been increasing in their rate of stupid decisions. Now, I'm not saying Sony is all gold either, but at least they don't kick you off the network for cussing. the Kinect is a joke, and IS fully being …  |
| | lol don't take any offence to the title XD just being funny :P anyways... I'm having a problem with my function... it's supposed to allow you to read/write float values in any specified byte length. but there's a problem with the output value >_> first off though I must state … |
| | so here's what I want to do: import module mvar = module() I've seen it done with the PyQt modules, but I don't feel like researching a complex code just to figure out a simple usage. :P anyone know how this works?? |
 | you can take a look at my src, which needs dynamic memory allocation for file data, with the added operation of pointer testing and verification: https://www.dropbox.com/home/Universal_Model_Converter/API/backend for a usage example, look at "interface test.py". the class in "magic" is actually updated to the new data type from within the interface. … |
| | this is just as complicated as it sounds... but to try to simplify things, look at this image: http://lh4.ggpht.com/-_tyPL2KaJAQ/UIONlx4ZnBI/AAAAAAAAEJU/vU1429txSqk/s424/aglorithm.PNG I need the influence generation aglorithm's for both I1 and I2. here's what I currently have: http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_jX5pm2be18/UIMtH46GfoI/AAAAAAAAEIk/Btswj9Lw4iA/s640/DM%2520prg2.PNG please help I've been doing google searches for the bezier aglorithm, but havn't come … |
