 | To run it in a running Fedora system, you need a virtual machine manager such as VMware or VirtualBox so you can install/run Windows in a virtual machine. That way, your Fedora applications continue to run while you simultaneously run Windows applications. I do that all the time.  |
 | In virtualbox you have a number of machine settings. One is for the virtual video adapter (Display settings). You need to increase the memory to the max (128MB), and for Linux clients enable 3d acceleration (2d is for Windows operating systems). Doing this I can use a 1920x1200 HD display … |
 | Is your wireless (WiFi) a USB device, or is it a PCI card? |
 | I assume you are using a power brick with this? In any case, try removing the battery, and running the system just with the AC plugged in. Also, you can get replacement batteries from places such as buy.com for a lot less than Dell will charge you for a new …  |
| | You can use iptables to further firewall your servers, and enable SELinux extensions (Security Enhanced Linux), which can very much harden your systems. SELinux was originally developed by the US National Security Agency, and is (or should be) used on all high-security government systems. |
| | A lot of tech companies hire student interns for these positions, but that usually assumes you have good grades in the relevant subjects. Contact your school's placement office - they should know who in your area are looking for student interns, if only for work-study positions. |
 | On linux systems, the shell command to clear the screen is "clear", not "cls". Sometimes a form-feed output will do this as well.  |
| | This may, or may not, be possible, depending upon the software and the licenses that apply. Some free or open source tools can simply have their /programs folder copied to the new system. Others will require re-authentication of the license you hold.  |
 | You don't ask much, do you? The answers will depend upon what you intend to do with your gear. Myself, I have an almost 7 year old system that still kicks butt! Dual quad-core Intel CPUs, 8GB of fully buffered ECC RAM, 10+TB disc, nVidia 8800GT dual display video w/ … |
| | At this point, you should have some idea what you want to do. The subject (networking) is almost unlimited in breadth and depth. What interests you about the subject? If you cannot answer that question, then I would suggest you go for a degree in business administration, accounting, or law... |
 | Re: GT-P3100 Does it have a SIM installed? If so, does the account it is associated with have a data plan? What about tablet configuration? Have you enabled data roaming? In this last case, it may be that the 3g/4g/lte plan provider is not available in your area in which case data … |
 | Well, for 30+ years I am a professional software engineer. Before that, when my wife was in graduate school, I was an emergency response volunteer EMT and rescue worker for the US Civil Defense. So, I do know something about what you are trying to do. 1. Break the problem … |
 | You might try 2x4GB sticks of the supported types/speeds. Some systems require both slots are filled. |

| | Have you tried to pair the devices (such as a headset) with the laptop? When you go into the laptop's bluetooth admin tool to pair the device, what do you use for the device's password (4 digits usually - many default to 0000)? If 0000 doesn't work, you may need … |
 | Re: Suggested Topic People keep asking this, and I keep answering effectively the same way - the number of topics for an IT thesis are effectively infinite. Write one on a topic that you personally find of interest. If you can't think of any, then I think you are studing the wrong subject... |
| | If this is for tomorrow, then what have you been doing these past few weeks? I assume you had at least that long to prepare for the test? :-( Too bad, you lose!  |
 | I often find that working back-to-front (or right-to-left if you prefer) to be very helpful in determination of root causes of such problems. |
| | My friend Conan (CimmerianX) has a point. However, I have to ask what are YOUR concepts, and what do YOU consider their order of importance? |
| | There are several good GUI tool kits that are cross-platform for this. One is Wx, and the other is Qt. Qt is the more popular one. Wx may be simpler. I have used both, but Qt is what I have mostly used for professional software development. FWIW, Qt used to … |
| | Well, if you already submitted your exam answers, then what can we do to help you? Isn't it a bit late? :rolleyes: FWIW, we don't do your homework, OR exams for you! |
| | Without more information (not sure what that would be), I don't think we can tell you more than you already know. The fact that Chrome seems to act similarly to IE is interesting, and suggest that this may be some sort of system behavior. So, what versions of Windows and … |

| | For analog decoding, you need to apply Kalman filters to extract the actual data from the signal/noise. Usually, this is done with C or C++ code. Java would work as well; however, since this is highly performance sensitive, VB would not be recommended, and C# would be equivalent (IMO) to … |
 | Disclaimer: I work in the Nokia Mobile Phones division as Senior Systems/Performance Engineer. 1. I own a Google Nexus One Android phone (personal - gift from Google). I like it, but it is getting old. 2. I have 3 Nokia phones - one is my main phone, a Lumia 920, … |
| | Also, force use of secure http connections (using ssl - https://site/...) so the user ID and passwords, as well as returned cookies, are not "in clear" for hackers to see. Anything less, and you might as well not bother with user authentication and just let anyone in... :-) |
| | Re: Networking There is a tonne of information on these subjects on the internet. Wikipedia alone has a lot of excellent articles to draw from - just don't copy them (cheat)... :-)  |
| | What gusano79 and assembly guy said. The sources and description of function of the md5 and sha-nnn hash functions are freely available on the web. Here is a link to the md5 article on wikipedia, including very clearly written pseudo-code that should be easily converted to most any computer language. …  |
 | What mike2k just said. Also, since this is a multi-threaded bit of code, it is possible that you have a race condition. However, as mike said, we need more of your code to tell anything helpful. And yes, Mingw's debugger is GDB, and it is obvious you don't understand how … |
| | Re: Prolog Question I haven't written prolog for 30 years, but I think that your problem is that (from what you are indicating) ne(b) is not returning an entity in your database, hence is null, and comparing a non-null with null value is an ERROR as it can't be evaluated either true or … |
 | Have you tried rebooting, including a cold shutdown and restart, with the tv plugged in? Or plugging the TV into the laptop after you have plugged in the laptop and done a cold reboot as above? |
| | Sorry, but my first Dell laptop was a D600 and current one is a D630, yet I have never experienced this problem. Have you contacted Dell tech support? |
 | You should be able to see how the "Slick RSS" news reader does this as well. I use it in my Chrome browsers.  |
| | What OS are you running? There have been issues with Windows 7 that makes it necessary to uninstall all the USB devices (in the hardware manager tool) and then reboot. The OS automatically reinstalls the required drivers. After rebooting, reattach the USB drive and you should get your connectivity back. … |
| | Looks like a phishing attempt - since it keeps popping up in Chrome, it is likely a virus you already contracted that is causing the popups. You can try disabling popups in Chrome (not hard to do), but I suspect that the malware already on your system will block that... … |

 | Re: Unlocking code If you need to use a different provider, you can take it to the provider of the network it is locked on to get it unlocked. That is the law today, at least in the USA. |
 | Did you install a new operating system on the drive? You can't just boot from a new drive - you need an operating system on it, and a valid boot loader installed as well. |
| | Use pseudo-code to describe the steps you need to take to accomplish your end. Then, use that to write the code. Don't ask us to solve your homework problems for you. We will help you when you run into a problem you cannot solve, but YOU have to make the …  |

| | Have you tried using ssh to connect? Most servers like the one you are trying to connect with will use ssh instead of telnet these days. |
| | If this is a USB device then you may have run into the same problem that I and a number of others have in the past couple of years, especially with Windows 7 - the drivers stop operating properly. The only solution I have found is to remove ALL usb … |
 | Please be more specific and provide more details. Also, what do you mean by "SCAN whole laptop with C Drive"? |
 | This may help (results of quick Google search): http://en.softonic.com/s/m-x-video-player:windowsmobile I haven't had a chance to try it out on my own Lumia 920 as yet... :-) |
| | What kind of "small programs"? You can send me private mail about what you need, why, how much you will pay, and how you will pay. :-) |
| | Both Unix (AIX) and Linux use the same text formats, so translation is not required. I have migrated millions of lines of code without issue from one to the other over the years. The only issue may be if you used FTP in text mode to first copy the data … |
| | You need the Android SDK and simulator (available from Google). Android devices run Dalvik, which is a virtual machine different from Java, but that compiles Java code to the appropriate byte code for the Dalvik VM. You don't just "install" these applications, you need to build them with the Dalvik … |
 | All great answers. Just remember that K&R is (in internet time) from the dark ages! At the time K&R wrote the book on their invention, the C language, they were using a system (PDP-7 or such as I recall) which had a 16 or 32-bit architecture. Integers (and long ints) … |
| | @mike2k Yeah, I break that rule all the time! :-) Hasn't bit me in the rear-end, yet... But I do understand the rationale why it is "not a good idea". Just lazy I guess! My upvote for your last post speaks for itself. Thanks Mike. Good/great advice!  |
| | This is a good example of why you want to write pseudo-code and model your processes first - how to solve the problem in abstract terms - before you write the program. I have been writing a LOT of complex software for over 30 years, and I NEVER start a … |
The End.
