Cables like that generally have an adapter built in. As to why it didn't work I cannot speculate.

Probably a tool like Visio would be appropriate, since I think you can define your own diagram elements with it. I use Sparx Enterprise Architect for UML modeling/design myself, and can find no "fuzzy" reference in the documentation. I no longer have Rational Rose or Tau-G2 (both now owned by …

You probably need both RAM sticks installed for it to boot. That is pretty normal for dual-channel motherboards. This is assuming that all the other cruft is properly installed and connected (CPU, etc).

Most modern boards are wave soldered, and are heat sensitive. Repairing them (removing, replacing soldered components) requires skill (experience) and specialized soldering tools. It can be done, but not usually by an inexperienced technician. Example - an on-board capacitor has failed and needs to be replaced. Finding the proper replacement …

VirtualBox should also work with Solaris. If you have a VBox virtual machine image in Windows or Linux, you should be able to move it to Solaris without much difficulty. The best way is to export it from the current system, and import it into the new system, but if …

Boot up Linux with the live CD/DVD. Go to the command line and execute the command (as root): fdisk -l Report the output back here.

Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint (based on Ubuntu) are all good. I have heard good things about Mint being very newbie-friendly.

This sounds like the wireless components of the router (I assume the WiFi access point is built into the router) are starting to fail. Not that uncommon a problem, actually. Have your ISP replace the router.

Assuming you want to use the modem for a phone internet connection, you need to configure the PPP (point-to-point protocol) tool so it can dial out and make the connection. It's not hard, but it is not automatically configured when you install the system. It needs to know what phone …

Here is a search page on buy.com for this battery. Prices range from $23 - $55 USD each. A lot cheaper than from Dell direct. [url]http://www.buy.com/sr/searchresults.aspx?qu=dell+studio+1535+battery[/url]

What is the actual output for RES? Rescheduling interrupts occur frequently due to scheduling priority issues. Example: my Scientific Linux 6 (RHEL 6 clone) after 11 days uptime has 400-500K RES events for each of 8 cores - about 4M in total. There are about 3x as many function call …

The Fn key changes the state of the keyboard so that the next key that is pressed while the Fn key is held down will generate a different scan code than it would without the Fn key. Look at it as an alternate Ctrl or Alt key.

Most XP drivers will not work with Win7. You need a Win7-specific driver for your device(s).

I think the conversion of the decimal to comma is because your system is using the wrong locale, one that uses commas for decimal points.

[QUOTE=aKiLa.. :);1665425]i want to do a project in c programming.. what topic should i choose and what all should i include to make it look decent?[/QUOTE] How many stars are in the sky, or grains of sand in the Sahara? These are the choices you have. Aside from that, do …

1) Server Linux usually does not have the X-Windows GUI installed 2) Server Linux usually has services installed that desktop does not need

You want us to do your homework? Not gonna happen dude! Make an effort to deal with it yourself first, and we will be happy to make suggestions and corrections.

The line [icode]for (R==2; R>N; R++)[/icode] should be [icode]for (R=2; R<N; R++)[/icode], but that's the least of your problems... Anyway, here is the wikipedia article on the subject which may help you understand the problem better: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_factorization[/url]

Please be more clear. Are you trying to turn your laptop into a WiFi sniffer?

I was going to take it, but I don't have enough time this fall to do it properly.

You've been pwnd. If it cannot be uninstalled, or your virus scanner cannot remove it, then you will have to either uninstall it manually (remove files and remove entries from registry), or re-image your system. Good luck!

To add to what caperjack said: 1. Dropping a drive and/or system is not a good thing! Impact with the floor can generate 100's of G's of force on the drive. Some newer drives have sensors that detect when the drive/system is dropped and will park the read/write heads to …

Try to find another communication application that allows you to use the LPT port if you cannot configure the default comm program to do this. That said, you might be able to create an alias to point LPTx to COMx. Since I haven't had to do this, I'm not sure …

As others have said, you need to reconfigure your router. Usually this is a web page, but you will likely need the admin user id and password to change anything on the router.

It is likely that some component is either overheating or is starting to fail as it warms up. That you could run the system for 40 minutes after cleaning it out is a good sign that this is happening. Is it the power supply, or other component? Well, as caperjack …

As per caperjack, blow (or preferably vacuum) the dust out of the system, let it cool down, and try again. If you still get the "no signal" message, then your video card may be fubar.

You will likely need to install a Windows VM and compile the code there, or possibly install a Windows compiler on the Mac using Wine and build it with that. Personally, I have a real issue with CS programs that require Windows software for the class. Basically, it is a …

You either have the modem connected to the wrong port on the router (it needs to be connected to the WAN port), or the cable is the wrong sort (cross-over vs. not cross-over), or the router is fubar.

Besides the DNS settings, also check the IP address of the problem machine. It may be conflicting with another system on the network. Assuming you allow laptops or other devices to connect, this is not an uncommon problem if these "guests" are using a static address by mistake.

Actually matrix B has 3 rows. Actually consider it dimensionally as x, y, and z. So matrix A has 2 dimensions x (3 values), and y (2 values per dimension x), and matrix B has 1 dimension (x). So, the product matrix C is 2 dimensional. So C(X) = A(X) …

1. For C++, use endl manipulator instead of \n for newlines. 2. The shutdown command has to run as root. 3. There is no loop here, so it should not start over, unless you named your program "shutdown"...

Can you boot into the BIOS, recovery partition, or diagnostics? What about booting to a USB drive or CD/DVD disc?

My guess is that the Test->checkHotspot(1) argument to mousewithin() is returning a null pointer.

I'm not familiar with this architecture, assuming you mean some sort of computer architecture, and not the SAP ERP software system, or Statutory Option Pay, or Resource Letter SAP-1 on Subatomic Particles, or ... So, please be more specific about what you mean, and provide some links to relevant articles, …

1, 2, 3, & 4) No, you can't. A router may have a single IP address (dynamic or static), yet multiple systems with valid accounts may connect via the router. You get the router's IP address, not the connected system's address. Ditto proxy connections. 5) You need to look at …

I assume you have some sort of book or manual for this class. I assume this is all covered there. I will help with the first, LAN LAN (Local Area Network): a network that is typically limited in geography to a single building or campus, and size in number of …

Usually, protecting such data is more trouble than it's worth. The only practical way is to encrypt the data and provide a custom application to access it that requires registration with your servers in order to get a key to decrypt the data. Even then, it can be hacked, and …

My personal preference is QNX, although VXworks is widely used.

This your school exercise. Make an effort - describe the processes needed, write some pseudo-code (or real code if you prefer), and we will be happy to comment on it. However, YOU need to make a good faith first effort at solving the problem.

You need to go into the BIOS and reset the IDE/Sata configuration settings so that it sees the IDE drives properly. It is probably trying to boot from the sata drive by mistake.

Depending upon the laptop and cost to diagnose/repair, a new one may be in order. If you do get a new one, get one with an e-sata (external sata) port, so you can plug your old drive into a carrier and connect it to the system in order to save …

Design it first, then code it to your design. There are a number of database type tools for java that will allow you to store and search the data on disc in a number of ways, but first you need to write out in detail how you want it to …

Get new drive, backup data, replace clinking drive. You can get a 2TB drive these days for under $100USD. As for drive noises, some older MFM or IDE drives had a copper grounding strap that contacted a carbon electrode attached to the rotating disc hub in order to drain static …

Basically, a union is a chunk of data that can contain one value of a number of data types. Example: you may have a union with an integer, float, double, or long, declared like this: [code] union { int i; float f; double d; long l; } value; value.i = …

It sounds like you want to build an LR recursive descent parser. You build a binary tree to represent the equation. Evaluation is a recursive, Left-to-Right operation. There are a large number of texts that describe how to do this. It is your basic applied programming class contents.

Have you tried just plugging in the AC adapter to see if it is a battery or battery control problem? Since it works when plugged into the docking bay, that seems a reasonable test to me. BTW, other than the laptop, what else is connected to the docking bay?

Huh? I have been using Linux for 10+ years and never heard about this? Are you talking about running Solaris in a virtual machine? If so, what virtual machine manager (KVM, XEN, VirtualBox, VMWare, et al) are you using?

Several issues will arise if you try to do this. 1. ME probably doesn't support Sata drives, which is what most new computers use. You may be able to set the BIOS to make the drives look like ata drives (setting them as PATA devices), but that is no guarantee …
