If you want a decent ebook reader, they are quite nice. The new color models will also do video streaming from the internet as well (over a wifi connection). In any case, they are Android (Linux) tablets essentially, with Amazon's ebook reader software and other proprietary tools. Myself, I use …

Contact Dell tech support and ask them. They have an online chat with tech support and generally can answer questions like this quite easily. If the slots take different kinds of RAM sticks, they can tell you what the specs are.

In some spaces such as scientific and internet/cloud computing, embedded systems, and mobile devices, Linux already has an insurmountable lead over MS products. It is more efficient resource-wise, faster, and a LOT cheaper! The ONLY market where Windows has an advantage over Linux is on the regular user's desktop/laptop and …

I would never get any residential broadband service that does not provide unlimited downloads. It is very easy to download multiple gigabytes in a day. One Linux DVD image is 4GB. One HD video for a TV show is 1-2GB. In my opinion, neither of these are suitable, although you …

This should be fine, but you probably want the BB storeUser() method to apply a lock to the data structure where it is placing the usr object.

You can also install the GNU compiler suite on the Mac. They also have an Objective-C front end.

I also have a D630, but never had this problem. Why not remove the button cover and access the actual button switch directly, since that seems to work? IE, remove the bezel that covers the buttons, bluetooth chip, and stuff, remove the button itself, and then directly access the real …

False. Compilers generate machine-neutral code. This is then (usually) passed to an assembler or machine-code generator. In modern systems, the code is compiled to ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) code, which the linker converts to the appropriate system machine code when generating the executable image.

ffmpeg can use separate threads (hence cpus or cores), but I don't know of non-commercial renderers/transcoders that will do the distributed rendering thing. There certainly are professional/commercial ones that support distributed rendering farms, and since the source code to ffmpeg (it is open source) is easily available, you could, in …

I consider Java to be C++ with training wheels. Both are used for big commercial applications. Either can help you learn about object-oriented programming, but I would suggest that you learn UML to really understand the basics of OOP. Object-oriented principals are not language dependent, but OOP is more a …

When I have to deal with complex development issues, I start with a full-blown UML model. In fact, I spend 80% or more of my time in the model, and only about 10% in coding. The modeling helps me visualize and work out sequence, timing, and other problems before I …

Why use VS to do this? The Intel compiler tools don't really need to be run from there. Myself, coming from a Unix background, prefer a good editor (VS will do that just fine) and make files. Have you looked into the Intel compiler tool documentation to see if it …

Please post an image of the entire screen with this showing. It is a technical issue, but what is causing it can be one of several things. Do you know if this is a fluorescent backlight, or is it an LED backlight model? If you don't know, I can probably …

[QUOTE=vadriaan;1725154]A flat file is a file that contains a set of records. The records are normally seperated from each other by a space, a comma, or a new line. You could export a spreadsheet file to a comma seperated list i.e. a text file where every item is seperated by …

This would be a modal dialog box. They block the rest of the application events until you process this dialog. See this Wikipedia article: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window[/url]

Have you gone to the Matlab web site yet? They have a lot of good documentation, as well as user forums to interact with. In any case, you need the Matlab Builder NE package that provides .NET support for Matlab. I just registered on the site and was able to …

Me, I would just spawn a shell and use the wget command to download the file.

[QUOTE=thines01;1731460]Are you talking about command-line parameter switches?[/QUOTE] Indeed, what [B][I]exactly[/I][/B] do you mean by "tags"?

Check how many processes Apache has running. It may be that some scripts are not shutting down after the connection has dropped, or the connections are not being dropped from the client(s), resulting in an exhaustion of resources. I think you can set a connection time-out so that connections are …

Is this for a MIPS assembler programming class, or do you just need to do this with a MIPS processor target? If the latter, just program it in C and compile it with a GNU MIPS cross-compiler. If the former, then get a start on it before you ask us …

You might also want to check out [url]www.linuxwireless.org[/url] - they have most of these drivers, as well as decent instructions on how to install them. In your case, a tar.gz file is a compressed archive. First do this from a command-line window (console): [code] tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz [/code] This should …

Have you tried the grub2 bootloader used by Ubuntu? It may work with the touchscreen, but not having such a device I cannot say for sure. The grub2 bootloader will certainly support booting from either your Windows or Ubuntu partions.

First, run a checksum on all of the files, except those files that may get changed in the normal course of network access. Daily, re-run the checksums and see if any have changed. If they have, then you have been compromised. One VERY important consideration is to learn how to …

Your options for username and password are wrong. It should be: mount -t cifs //192.xxx.x.xx/share /mnt/mountPoint -o username="username",password="pass" Also you need to do that as root, or sudo. If your mount doesn't require authentication, then leave the username/password options out altogether.

I have a StarTech sata dock, remove my drive from the laptop, and plug it into the dock. Voila! Instant connection to the desktop. The doc has 2 ports that handle both 2.5 and 3.5" drives, as well as esata and USB connections. Other than the interface cable (the dock …

You can create any license you want, but conversation with an attorney would probably be a good idea. FWIW, even open source licenses, such as the GPL, Apache, BSD, and other open souce licenses can protect you and your code from misappropriation by others. In any case, if you write …

First, do a full shutdown, then make sure that all memory is cleared. If this is a laptop, you may need to remove the battery and hold the start button/slide on for 10-20 seconds. If a desktop, then shut down and remove the power cord for at least 30 seconds …

I assume you want to randomize these values on startup? if so, then don't initialize the dizi[5] array on startup, but have an initialization function that will set the values randomly. IE, void randomizeArray(int array*, int arraySize) { for (int i = 0; i < arraySize; i++) { array[i] = …

Research "Sieve of Eratosthenes" for better understanding of how to do this. There is a good Wikipedia article on it: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Erastosthenes[/url]

Try using double, or long double values instead of floating point values. Floats are only 32 bits and hence are quite limited in precision as well as exponent size. Doubles are 64-bits, and I think new compilers that support long doubles allow 128 bit values, which though allowing much larger …

Pointer to item == address of item in program space. A C++ reference is, under the covers, a pointer. You can pass the pointer to an object to a function, which if not specified as const, will allow the function to modify the object. This would be necessary if the …

First off, you need a cracked version of OSx since normally it relies upon firmware ONLY found on Apple hardware. Then, you need to be sure you have a compatible video card. You might try installing OSx in a virtual machine first, just to figure out what the processes are …

Have you restarted Apache? It should read the new configuration then.

The call() function is heavily recursive. This leads to simplicity, but can create a lot of processing overhead, especially with stack setup/teardown on each function call. Also, in your code, you initialize variables by dividing the argument by 2, 3, and 4. Since the components of the operation are integers, …

So, if I understand you correctly, you want to implement a web server to run on your micro-controller so you can stream your webcam directly to it. That's what open source is good for, but there are two parts to this: 1) the web server and 2) the video display …

To make this simple, if you don't read/modify a global or local static variable, then you can have as many instances of your function running as you want. All non-static local data, including the incoming argument, are stack-based, and each thread is running with its own stack. So, in effect, …

Actually, the integer 9 would be (in 32-bit binary) 00000000000000000000000000001001

Are the client and server separate processes? Or are they threads inside the same process?

Assuming that you shut down normally, this should not happen. It will happen either if you tell the system to do a check on reboot, or if there is a file system problem with the drive. Is this a FAT, or is it an NTFS volume?

There are many ways someone can hijack your gmail account. If they managed to install a keylogger on your system, then they have not only your gmail password, but just about all the others as well. Also, they may have cracked your password if it was the same or similar …

No. I usually install the package in my distribution's repository. What file did it say it could not find?

Since this is supposed to be a MS Windows process, which should not be trying to execute data as code (which is what DEP is designed to stop), then I think you have a virus.

1. Test that the incoming node** q argument is not null. 2. Test that after assigning *q to cur, that cur is not null. 3. Test that the data element in the nodes you are comparing is not null. 4. Simplify, simplify, simplify.

It sounds like one of your drives has gone belly-up.

Simulate? Or capture the screen in reality using C? In either case, the answer is yes. However, doing this with a GUI vs. a text (vga) screen is a very different process. If you are running Linux, then it is simple, and you can get sample code from a number …

If you are programming in C, then you can use the interval timer with the functions setitimer() and getitimer(). This is a standard function in Linux. Not sure about Windoze.

Leave this one at phone pole length... You can get decent (and new) video cards for between $50 and $100 USD from many on-line stores, although I'll grant that this one will cost you between $250 and $300 (about $300 USD at buy.com - [url]http://www.buy.com/prod/visiontek-900352-radeon-6950-graphic-card-800-mhz-core-2-gb-gddr5/219360590.html[/url]). Before you buy this "brick", …

You may also want to write in a mutex so that the thread that saves the file doesn't try to do so when the in-memory data is being modified, and vice-versa.

Can you access the database server from the 64-bit machine using sqlplus? If not, perhaps you have not properly installed the Oracle client tools/code on the 64-bit machine?

Ancient Dragon is correct. In your original example, s is a char*, but string literals are const char*, and non-mutable - usually the compiler assigns them to read-only memory. The way that AD did it, to declare s as an array, means that the compiler will take the string literal …
