 | Linux? :-) Sorry, but assuming this is a valid Windows 7 system installation disc purchased from Microsoft or HP, you will have to contact either Microsoft or HP support. You will probably have to pay for Microsoft support... :-(  |
| | Re: bios update You aren't providing enough information. Does the system boot up ok? If not, do you get some indication that the BIOS is starting the system? Is your system using an older BIOS or one of the newer UEFI chip sets? What happens if you hold down a key (such as … |
 | Re: Aspire 5517 How old is it? What version of Windows? Have you contacted the support people at Acer's web site? |
| | You will either need to purchase a new Windows 7 installation disc (with new key) from Microsoft, or get one from HP. Getting one from HP for your specific system will probably be better as it will contain all the drivers you need for the HP hardware cruft that your … |
| | Can you boot into the BIOS? If so, most have a verbose setting that will show you all of the POST (Power-On Self Test) output. That is the system doing a sanity check of the things you noted in your post. If they all check out and the system still … |

| | Note that most commercial games are DRM-encumbered. They post a key file or a key in the registry and if you used their tools to install the game on your system, you may have to alter the registry to find the new location of the game files themselves. IE, just … |
| | Go to the Manage Apps page. Applications that can be installed on the SD card will indicate that when you click on them. Many cannot, but many can, including things like Angry Birds. If they can, the "Move to SD Card" button will be lit up. I have an old …  |
| | From what you say, if you are receiving duplicate packets, I can only assume that you are utilizing the UDP or other packet-based protocol, as opposed to a stream-oriented one such as TCP. The TCP protocol will discard duplicates - you should never see them. UDP will not discard them, … |
 | You can install the OS on a RAID, but I generally don't recommend that unless it is a mirrored (RAID-1) configuration (for redundancy to protect from a single disc failure). As for file system/disc/array, Windows currently only supports 2 TB configurations, as does standard Linux. However, new BIOS's (EFI/UEFI and … |
| | It is a matter of operator precidence. Multiplication and division are of equal precidence, as are addition and subtraction. Multiplication and division have higher precidence than addition or subtraction. Therefore, you must put the desired expressions inside parentheses. IE: `(2*5/6+3-8*3/2)` would be likely equivalent to `((2*5)/6)+3-((8*3)/2)`. Is this your intention? …  |
| | You need an outer loop before the `while (x == false)` loop and after the end of the `while (x == true)` loop. IE: while (true) { while (x == false) { } if (conditions) { x = true; } while (x == true) { if (a == b) { … |
| | Hardware: has mass. If you drop it on your foot, it hurts. Software: bits have no mass. If you drop it on your foot, you won't know it.  |
| | Try to work out some sort of deal with her that if you succeed at your end of the deal, she will help you buy a new Mac. |
| | 1. This is a simple compound interest problem. 2. Programming this in C or C++ will be esentially the same (with some syntactical differences). 3. We don't do your homework for you. Make a start, post your code here, and if you are making a real effort we may be … |
| | Re: Makefile Your question is not clear. What are you trying to do, to set execute permissions on a file? On a list of files? What? |
 | You should be able to find the appropriate switch at an electronics component supply house. Then you will need to unsolder the old switch and solder in the new one. If you aren't an experienced solderer, or the device is wave-soldered directly to the circuit board, then you need someone … |
 | Try this google search: streaming tv server FWIW, multi-cast is usually not viable outside of a LAN, and your routers need to be configured to allow multi-cast outside of a subnet. |
| | I assume that it worked after the screen was replaced? Early failure of electronics is common. If it worked after replacement, but doesn't now, then send it back for warranty repair. |
| | After the prompt, how are you inputting the data for the or-ords? Like this? 10 10<enter> 20 20<enter> Try: void Input() { printf("Enter the co-ods\n"); scanf("%f %f %f %f",&x0,&y0,&x1,&y1); } with this as input instead: `10 10 20 20<enter>` and see if that works. Also, you may need to add … |
 | Re: c++ What Schol-R-Lea says, plus having someone else do your homework for you is cheating and likely to make you fail the class or get thrown out of school. |
| | There are several approaches. One that bigger companies use is to lease connections from the branch offices that are part of the company global network. They will be different subnets, but routers keep it all together. Smaller organizations will use standard ISP connections and use VPNs to connect into a … |
 | Install and try Firefox (Mozilla) to see if the same thing happens. If not, then you might uninstall Chrome. Yeah, a PITA for sure, but if something has installed a bad plugin (or infected one), and you can't figure out what it is, then that may be your only recourse. |
| | Even with an Intel GPU, you can still add an nVidia card if the mobo supports external video cards. If you are going to run Linux on a system with both Intel and nVidia GPUs, then you may need to disable the built-in Intel GPU in the BIOS. |
 | Re: Boot Password How to do that depends upon the make and model of the laptop. Many require shorting out the reset pins on the motherboard for the flash memory where the password is stored. To access the motherboard you need to remove the laptop cover and keyboard. Which pins to short out … |
| | 1. DeletePlayer() never does anything with the array returned by ProcessDelete(). 2. As Shark_1 said, since you are passing the array PlayerLastname by value to ProcessDelete(), you get a copy, not references to the actual array. 3. What are array2 and array3 being used for in ProcessDelete()? They accomplish nothing. … |
 | That is not too helpful. What exactly is your problem? |
 | Re: inheritance The const getters return a non-mutable reference to the internel properties. The non-const getters (protected) provide a mutable reference to the properties, allowing them to be changed directly. Normally you want to use public setter methods to change properties, which can be coded to test for invalid inputs and throw … |
| | Yes. Most distributions have already released the patches required to fix this. Now, people just have to update their systems to incorporate the fixes. This will be simpler than installing the heartbleed SSL bug patches with fewer possible side-effects (we hope).  |
 | If you can, post the contents of /etc/ssh/sshd_config here. |

| | Just nitpicking, but this: #include <vector> #include "Eggs.h" #ifndef TRAY_H #define TRAY_H should be this: #ifndef TRAY_H #define TRAY_H #include <vector> #include "Eggs.h" |
 | Have you turned off the Windows firewall after reinstalling the OS? What about credentials for enabling RDP? |
| | A newline in a string is just some more data to send, whereas std::endl will send a newline and then flush the output. You can also use std::flush to flush the output in those cases where you don't want a newline (input prompts for example). IE: `cout << "Enter code:" … |

| | Real time applications? As in deterministic, schedule-constrained applications? Those questions aside (but need answers), the standard system shell (such as bash on Linux) should be a strictly interpreted language which can be deterministic (all other issues being equal). Other scripting languages such as perl, python, javascript, et al are what … |
| | If you are using gnome, then it isn't Windows, and Visual Studio is not part of this equation. Please tell us EXACTLY what operating system (and version) you are using for this exercise.  |
| | Please explain what you mean by "update files are small". |
 | Look up Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming". Now 4 volumes (v.4 took a long time to come out - I just got it last year). Covers sorting/searching and many other critical CS topics. |
| | Did you install Windows 8 after you installed Fedora? If so, then the Windows installer munged your grub boot sector. You might be able to recover it, but no guarantees. This may help: http://wiki.osdev.org/GRUB |
| | This is also not a Monte Carlo sampling routine. You need to have a set of bottles, and then pick one at random until you find the winner. You will also need to make multiple runs and average the number of samples you had to try before finding a "winner". … |
 | Contact the "gurus" at your local Apple Store. They probably have the proper magic wand to fix this. |
| | Re: dell password Do you mean your account with Dell, or your account on the computer? It sounds like you forgot the password for the admin account on the computer. That may not be recoverable. I've had clients with similar problems when an employee that was subsequently fired had changed the admin account … |
| | What the previous poster said. If all the systems are having problems and you replaced the switch, then it is either a router problem, or a modem problem. Since the router and modem are usually provided by the ISP, contact their tech support to get a service tech on site. … |
| | Boot into the system. Login as root. Run the commands "lspci" and "lsmod", posting the output here. |
| | |
| | Re: BIOS password @Stefan_1 This is not necessarily true. Usually, the hashed password is stored in non-volatile flash memory. Kabir will probably have to remove the keyboard cover and short out a couple of pins (not sure which) in order to reset the system to factory settings and erase the flash memory where … |
| | Ignore it. You know the saying, "If it ain't broken, DON'T FIX IT!"... :-) |
 | What deceptikon said. Myself, I prefer genuine Intel motherboards. The engineering is superb, and they are incredibly reliable. My dual-cpu (8 core) workstation with the SVN5000 workstation/server board has been running almost 24x365 since the beginning of 2008. I only shut the system down when I leave home for more … |
 | What distribution+version of Linux are you running for a server? The standard python for RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.5 systems and clones (such as CentOS) is version 2.6.6. I'm sure there are newer ones that you can download and install to upgrade if necessary. That said, there are a gazillion python … |
The End.
