Assuming both systems (AMD and Intel) use the same type of RAM SIMMS, and using the AMD RAM in the Intel system exhibits this malfunction, then it is likely a RAM problem. Are you using 2, or 4 SIMMS? In any case, try leaving out one of the SIMMS (in order) to see if it boots OK. That is a means to determine if one of the RAM SIMMS is defective.

If it is still under warranty, take the disk drive out and send it in for repair/replacement. The OS on the drive is likely ok, hence the advice to keep the drive, otherwise they will replace that also, and you will lose all of your data. Dell hase (in the past) been pretty good about dealing with this stuff - and if it is out of warranty, the cost will be minimal for a motherboard replacement.

I don't know about Astra32, but if it is looking at the smart interface of the SSD, then it is probably correct. SMART is a tool on most all current drives that monitors in real-time the behavior of the drive, including disk read errors, sector remapping, temperature, etc. On my Linux system, I use it to monitor my drives, and when it indicates that a drive is starting to degrade, or fail, then I know I need to replace it. I had a failing drive this week that because the SMART interface informed me of this situation, I was able to back up the data to a new drive to replace it. It is now FUBAR, but because I saw the situation in time, I lost no data (including all of my Doctor Who collections, going back into the 1960's).

64-bit system? Run a 64-bit OS. Yes, 64-bit pointers in your software take more space, but not enought to make any significant difference. In any case, your system can take better advantage of available memory, and swap (virtual memory) space, and will perform better since the CPU is designed to handle 64-bit operations more efficiently. In such a case, smaller is NOT better! :-)

Well, you could always fall back on the old C standard fprintf() format strings. Sometimes it is a lot easier than C++ output manipulators, though if your class is trying to teach you C++ output manipulators then that may not be an option... :-)

As per Dani's post - this is an english only forum, though I do speak/read/write spanish, so here is my answer in English... :-) Usa el servicio traductor de Google si necicitas.

Sony systems are infamous for being totally proprietary - getting stuff to work is sometimes a real pain in the "you know where" - asiento. Sorry but I can't be of much more help with this... :-( My wife had a Sony Vaio and we eventually gave it to our granddaughter, mostly to torture her I think! :-)

I have had drive failures due to the PC board (controller) on the drive failing, and this was possible, but it is unlikely. You would need to purchase an identical drive and swap the circuit boards to see if that works. If not, then you are SOL for recovering the data. Been there, have bruises on head to prove it! :-)

Have you connected with your Apple "Gurus" about this issue? It certainly isn't normal behavior, though I don't know a lot of people who use dual displays with their macbook laptops. I use dual displays on my Windows 7 laptop (Lenovo) and it doesn't seem to affect the cpu temperature - it is running an nVidia graphics chip set for both. I think your system has both an Intel GPU as well as an nVidia GPU, so if that it the case, you might try to disable the Intel GPU in the BIOS since that is likely co-located with the CPU, hence the heat increase you are experiencing.

You can't use nedit in a console terminal either, but it is a great editor! I use it for almost all of my programming since it has syntax support for most computer languages out there, including c, c++, bash, php, java, make, et al.

And yes, text editor preferences tend to generate major wars! :-) Find what works well for you, and occasionally try something else to see if you might like it better.

Please be more specific and detailed in what you are trying to accomplish.

We don't do your homework for you. Please make an effort to solve this and then post your code. At that point we may help you with problems you may encounter, but until you try to solve it yourself...

Any reason why you are using C for this? It isn't simple to do in C. I would recommend that you get the Mozilla Firefox 2.x code base (written in C/C++) and study how they do it. Also, I am doing much of what you are, but am using PHP instead of C/C++ because it has some decent HTTP plugins to do all this stuff and supports HTML nicely. Yes, usually PHP is used in conjunction with a web server such as Apache, but the 5.5+ versions of PHP can serve as a stand-alone web server. I use it that way to emulate a cell phone browser for performance testing purposes.

It is possible that the cmos and/or flash memory is bad, or that it has become corrupted. The first thing to do is to either install an updated bios if available, or to re-install the current bios if not. You should be able to get them from the computer manufacturer's web site support pages for your motherboard and/or computer.

All the above are true provided that the application is written in Java using the Android Dalvik virtual machine, which most Android applications are.

What Moschops said. Here is pseudo-code that you can use with C++ (or other programming language) to do this as well.

1. Open file
2. while not at end-of-file
3. read line
4. search for string (use strstr() in C/C++ for this).
5. if found in #4, increment counter.
6. goto #2.

Anyway, if you post some code we can help you sort it out.

Bit-wise comparison != numerical comparison. In a your comparison it is only looking to see if the fourth bit is set.. For -8 the top bit is set for the negative, as is the fourth bit, hence your problem. For a bit comparison of two numbers do this:

if ((a&b) == a) // a==b

Low power can easily damage electronic components including the drive controller. You may be SOL. In the future as mentioned you should invest in a UPS to avoid that possibility.

You may need to modify the PHP file to directly write to the desired file.

Since you say that it also was a problem with other versions of Windows it is likely a hardware or bios problem. Try updating the bios first.

Actually, for this pseudo code (pseudo code is NOT standardized), I think it is the dimension of an array. IE, the C code for DIM EmpName = 1 would likely be const char* EmpName[1];

Since I don't have your professor's definition to be sure, this would be my best guess.

Have you gone to the honeywell web site support pages for help with this? They may have newer drivers. It is also possible that the systems you are trying to use it on need updated BIOS/Flash code.

1. Remove the drive from the laptop.
2. Install it in an external usb docking bay.
3. Attache it to another system and boot that up.
4. When it is recognized by the other system, run the disc check/repair tools on the external drive.
5. Copy off the files. Some may not be recoverable, but most should be.

What dump file? Please describe the problem, and how it started.

There is a "natural" order of precidence for math operators, some of which have the same precidence. IE: / and * are higher than + or -. Using parens is a way to specify your own. So do it in the way that you want to guarantee the order of evaluation to take place. IE, you may want this instead:

(a / (b * c)) - ((d + e) * (f + g))

In this case, it will multiply b by c, then divide a by that result, then it will add d and e, and multiply that by f plus g, and subtract the result of that from the first part. IE: it is the same as this:

    x1 = b * c;
    x2 = a / x1;
    y1 = d + e;
    y2 = f + g;
    z1 = y1 * y2;
    z2 = x1 - z1;

Where you put your parens is important. Both of your results evaluate the same (33 for integers, and 34.5 for floats). Changing the parens as I did results in -111 for both integer and floaing point values.

The current AMD R9 series have not been reviewed with glowing comments - but not bad either. Have you considered equivalent nVidia cards? Quality-wise, they are generally more positively reviewed. A good site for this (mostly Linux-oriented) is Phoronix.com. Here is a review of the R9 270x: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_radeonr9_270x

Their opinion was for Linux gaming it is a good choice at the $200USD price level.

Go speak with your faculty advisor. There are many paths, but since you are obviously in some sort of institution of "higher" education, first speak with your professors and advisors.

You may have to revert to Home Premium and run your Vista Business image in a virtual machine. In any case, Vista is not a "desirable" option. Have you looked into upgrading to Windows 7?

As suggested by Ancient Dragon, the size may be a problem. Most older BIOS chips only handle up to 2TB devices. Have you looked for a suitable update from the system manufacturer for the BIOS?

In theory, 9 cell batteries have 50% more capacity than 6 cell batteries. Size? They are about 50% bigger as well. I have such for my work laptop. The larger batteries extend beyond the form of the laptop (the smaller batteries do not). This adds about 1 inch in front-to-back size to the system.

You should be able to use both, but many hdmi connectors can drive two monitors by themselves. Check the documentation of the computer to see if that is possible.

Since searching on NEC's site doesn't turn up anything for this device, I think you are out of luck. Is this a laptop, or is it a desktop that you can switch out the graphics card?

Happy to help! Good luck.

Or more commonly, a pyramid scam. Save your $$ and you will get $2400 a lot more quickly (and surely)... :-)

Attempt to solve the problem, show your code, let us know what specific issues you are running into, and then we may help...

Huh? Explain precisely what you are trying to do. What do YOU mean by "scan the id", and how are you implementing the log-in/log-out functionality?

Try this:
if "%2" == "" goto end
It has been a long time since I have written any complex DOS/Windows batch commands, so I may be mistaken... :-)

Your question is not very clear. To answer the obvious question as to whether or not you can upload each file to a folder, then yes you can. I assume from your (ill-formed) question that you have both/all file names in a single string, but you need to "cut" them apart in order to process them separately?

You are using a long long for the address, but you are only using integers for the position. Try something more appropriate for the function signatures, such as an unsigned long long (or size_t) for the low/high barriers. Also, look at the qsort() impementation for more hints/information.

What libraries or other tools you use to play the video depends entirely upon the encoding that the video uses. Downloading it is trivial, but playing it is not. As I implied, there are many video encodings to deal with, some of which are proprietary (mpeg2, etc), and others that are open-sourced (mkv). In any case, usually to solve this sort of problem I would pipe the downloaded data to a tool that can deal with most any format, such as the VLC (open source) media player, or stream it with ffmpeg (another open source video tool / transcoder).

What I am trying to say, is that this is NOT a simple problem! You have your work cut out for you to deal with this. :-)

And FWIW, I have been doing video processing/transcoding/streaming for about 10 years now.

You can use php or any number or other mobile/web api's to connect with a database and send/receive data. What have you tried? Have you done some research into this, or just are asking before you make some effort on your own?

FWIW, I don't mind asking for help, but only after I have exhausted all other avenues available to me to solve the problem - Google is my friend!

Sorry, but we don't do your homework for you... :-( Post your attempt to do the coding, and we may be able to help sort out your problems!

Both are great ideas. As a software systems engineer, and serious amateur musician, both work for me, but for #1 I'd personally prefer output as musical notation instead of tablature. Why? you may ask? Because tablature needs to be for a specific instrument (guitar in your case), but musical notation is not instrument-specific! :-) FWIW, I play (and sight-read) violin, mandolin, guitar, and piano, and studied music theory in college... My current musical interests are traditional American music and Bluegrass (mandolin - my instrument is a 1904 Gibson A-series w/ rose pick-guard), but I was a serious jazz violinist back in the 1980's.

What distribution/version of Linux are you running?

In any case, you will need to fully reinstall the xorg and gnome software, or install kde, xfce, et al and try running one of those first.

Finally, when you try to run startx manually, what errors are you getting? Please post them here.

Regular SD cards have a slider that can write-protect the device, but I don't think micro-sd cards have one of those (mine don't). In any case, SD cards over 8GB need to be supported by SD-HC (or newer) controllers. It may be that your phone doesn't support SD-HC (high capacity) devices. SD-HC can deal with devices with over 8GB (up to 32GB) of capacity. You would need SD-XC for more than that.

It seems there is a subtle corruption of the file system, but not one that keeps the system from running (at least for now). Boot it up, and copy your critical data to an external drive, then either restore the system from the system restore partition (there should be one on the disc), an installation disc, or alternatively, boot a Live Linux CD/USB/DVD drive, and try to fix the NTFS partition with the fsck program that Linux provides. In any case, try one or both of the first 2 suggestions first. As an IT consultant, I would go for the third, but by first removing the drive, and installing it in my Linux system as an extern Sata or USB drive - not advisable for non-experts! :-)

These are perl scripts, right? Is the first line something like this?

#! /usr/bin/perl

If it is, then then script should automatically invoke perl. If not, then you need to edit the script accordingly.

Read the sqlite3 man page for details on how to use the command-line interface. You can use that in your bash scripts. You should not need run it via php.

This shows that your computer is trying to boot from the network. Go into the BIOS and disable PXE (network) booting.

If you really cannot recall your password, then you may be SOL, especially considering the tighter security of these systems. My advice is to boot a Live Linux CD/USB/DVD drive (if the secure boot allows you to), copy your necessary data to a backup USB device, and then wipe/restore your system, with a password you can remember! To boot the live cd/usb/dvd drive, you may have to access the UEFI BIOS and disable secure boot first.

So, what's your problem? In any case, you need to guard against values of r < 1 as well, returning 0 in such a case.
