Assuming you are running IE, have you tried Chrome or Firefox?

Time to wipe your computer and start from scratch... :-( First, backup your data, and scan it off-line for viruses (another subject). Then, COMPLETELY wipe your disc, including the recovery partition - I have had a number of clients where a virus would infect the DLL's in the recovery partition …

Nathan is basically correct. GUID's (Globally Unique IDentifiers) are difficult - I know because I have written code that generates them that are used world-wide in manufacturing systems. The main difference between what I developed and others is that you can determine the class of an object from the GUID, …

That is usually a subject for experts in computer network security. I am a senior engineer with a major internet company, and I would need a year or two at least to get even a bit competent in determining who was behind some bot/botnet.

Computer networking? Social networking? Professional networking? What are you talking about? :-)

My guess is that the underlying code that handles the "heavy lifting" is C++, and the UI stuff is C#. Why C# when they are also using Qt (multi-platform GUI API's) is beyond me. Totally unnecessary IMO.

C++ == C with classes. The key here are "classes" - this is a critical part of object-oriented programming (OOP). OOP allows much better modelling of real-world constructs than do "traditional" functional programming constructs do. An object is an instance of a class, which contains member data (values specific to …

The `random()` function is a system function that returns a long int. You have declared that your `random()` function returns an int, and this is the cause of the compiler complaint. FWIW, `long int random()` is declared in <stdlib.h>.

Check out www.zareason.com - great gear, great people, and really good prices (they are located in Berkeley California). I think they can ship internationally to some countries, but you need to check with them first. Everything they sell comes with Linux pre-installed, and all the hardware works. You can also …

This is html, not php, even if you are doing this in a php page. Read the HTML documentation online for help with this.

Are you sure it isn't DRM-encumbered? It may be encrypted on the box, so that you can't just download it and play with other stuff... In any case, the current version of ffmpeg should be able to transcode .ts files to others. Do you have ffmpeg installed on your system? …

You post a chunk of code over 250 lines long, with inconsistent indentations and bracing... :-( Good luck with that! You'd get an 'F' in my class just for appearance and readability.

Not asking much, are you? :rolleyes: How well do you know php anyway? From the question, not much or well. First, describe what YOU mean by "virtual learning class room", and what you expect to do with it. Student/teacher profiles are simple classes in php/java/c++/whatever. The virtual class room is …

Anything specific to Acer you will have to find on their web site (probably in the support section for your hardware). With luck they will have a Windows 7 64-bit version you can download and install.

Please don't ask us to do your homework for you. Make an effort to solve the problem. Post the code here. And we may choose to help you sort out your errors... :-(

I'm not sure it is Win7 compatible. From the MS website requirements for VSP 9: Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP

NTFS usually sets (to Linux's view) the execute bit. Which NTFS driver are you using? You probably want to install and use the ntfs-3g driver which has much better capabilities than the fuse-ntfs driver. Here is a link to the manpage for Ubuntu: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/ntfs-3g.8.html

I could do this simply in C, C++, or Java. You keep a map of where the key is the data, and the value is the number of times you have seen it. With each input, you look up the data in the map. If not found, then you add …

Not enough information to help. What make+model of computer do you have? If it came with 32-bit Win7, are you sure it isn't a 32-bit processor? Normally, 64-bit systems come with 64-bit Win7 unless they were ordered with the 32-bit OS specifically.

If you have a valid license, then you can get a copy from the computer maker. If not, you will need to purchase a copy. Anything else is theft... :-( This is one reason why I use Linux. No license and no cost. Yes there is a license, but it …

I use ffmpeg for this sort of work, exclusively. There are Windows builds available (it is free, open source software) here: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ I have used Windows-specific tools in the past, but nothing has the options and effectiveness of ffmpeg. You can also change the audio from mp3 to other encodings …

You can try to run it in a virtual machine such as VirtualBox. Current versions are supposed to allow installing it, but you will need an installation CD, DVD, or ISO image file to do so. Installing it directly on the hardware may not be possible since it has dependencies …

I assume that Lightspeed is your ISP? If it is blocking Facebook from your home system (may be a mistake) then either contact Lightspeed to fix this, or try an open VPN (virtual private network) that will mask your query from lightspeed.

It is a matter of opinion. What are you trying to do?

Have you considered installing Linux on this system? Also, have you determined that the system drives are still good? Seven years is a long time in computer terms, though I have some discs that are about that old, but still good - I monitor them constantly.

And...? We don't do your homework for you. Make an effort to solve the problem and post the code here, then we may decide to help/criticize/debug.

Experiment and see which gives you better throughput. I assume you are connecting with 802.11n? A signal strength of 60% is pretty good. Remember, 5GHz has a shorter range than 2.4GHz, but by also having a shorter wavelength, it will better penetrate things like walls, floors, etc.

You need to start the mysqld service: sudo service mysqld start

Have you tried using the bsearch() function? The only thing you need to do besides calling the function, is to provide the address to a compare function. RTFM...

So, what shell are you using? Bash I presume? Show your code, and we may help you. We DO NOT do your homework for you...

What is 50K rps in $ or Euros?

Also, we don't do your homework for you... :-( AD is just being kind, I think.

What language are you using? C++, Java, something else?

There is also a tool called OpenVNC (Open Virtual Network Computing) that allows remote/joint control of computers. I have used it quite successfully in the past for this sort of use. The good thing is that it is free and open source software. It is also the default software used …

Assembly programming is rarely needed these days. My last assembler coding was over 20 years ago, to write a device driver for a real-time operating system. These days, you don't often need assembler to do that, with a few exceptions. 98% or more of the Linux kernel is in C, …

Depending upon how you use it, diff can generate files that the patch command can use to update a source file by merging the deltas between the two versions. You need to read the man pages for diff and patch in detail in order to understand how that works, and …

Most sites will use OpenLDAP for this. FWIW, Windows' Directory Server is based upon it, and they can be made to work together if necessary, for a site-wide single sign-on capability, even with a mix of Windows and Linux machines. My organization does that. I can install a RedHat or …

See your other thread. And BTW, please don't post the same question multiple times! It won't get you any more/better answers!

Have you tried replacing the battery? Or removing the battery and using line power (power brick) to boot up? On some systems, if the battery is dead, then even with the power brick plugged it, it won't run and you need to remove the battery to get it running.

Your Windows partition should still be ok, but the boot loader is fubar. You need to boot into the recovery image and then restore the Windows boot image: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/32523/how-to-manually-repair-windows-7-boot-loader-problems/ The relevant commands are: 1. bootrec /fixmbr 2. bootrec /fixboot Good luck!

You don't need a usb hard drive cable. You need an appropriate docking bay for the drive. Most current laptops have sata drives. You can get one for about $25-50 USD for one that will work with your drive. You remove the drive from the system, plug it into the …

1. Use a GOOD surge suppressor - most commercial/consumer ones can only handle a limited number of surges before they become useless. They must be replaced at least yearly - more frequently in areas where there are frequent surges or lightning strikes. 2. Get a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) that …

NP. Thanks for the update. In my opinion, if the installer needs to be run by an adminstrator account, then it should have detected that you were not doing so in the first place! :-) Anyway, good luck, and have fun!

Time to learn/understand how CSS works, and configure your system accordingly. The question evokes many complex answers that your provided information does nothing to help with... :-(

What Mike2K said. I use dd on Linux for this purpose all the time, and it has saved my bacon on more than one occasion when my system drive started to fail. However, as he pointed out, you REALLY need to know what you are doing. If you point it …

And? You want us to do your work for you? What have you tried to do so far?

@fozis Bumsfeld's printf() expression is also correct - `(5.0/9.0) * (fahr-32.0)`. You can reverse the expressions and still have the same result. IE. `(5.0/9.0) * (fahr-32.0)` == `(fahr-32.0) * (5.0/9.0)`. To some, this is orthogonality - the order of expression is irrelevant. Now, I wait for someone more mathematically knowlegeable …

I generally agree with ddanbe, and if Windows systems are the ONLY systems you will be programming for, then C# is perfectly fine. However, if you want to expand your horizons, then C/C++, Java, Python, et al are also good to learn.

`IplImage *in;` is uninitialized. As a result, this line `cvReleaseImage (&in);` could cause a core dump because the `cvReleaseImage()` function could read the contents of `in` as a valid address. Without seeing the rest of your code, I cannot say for certain.
