[quote=Sturm;301927]Command prompt stuff does not impress friends very much...[/quote] No it doesn't, but it's the best way to learn. You must learn to walk before trying to run. Starting off with console apps is easy and educational, and then once you've got the hang of it, you can decide what …

If it happens consistantly in the same spot, it's most likely not your power supply. Power supplies generally work or they don't work at all. It sounds like you're having problems with your BIOS/CMOS. Did you put the BIOS from your old motherboard in this new motherboard?

You should at least be quite familiar with C/C++ before starting database I/O. I'd start by reading some of the many [URL="http://blog.rsynnott.com/simple-mysql-tutorial.html"]online tutorials[/URL] available out there. Once you begin to get the hang of it, you'll probably want to further your knowledge by reading the MySQL documentation as Ancient Dragon …

Don't you want to use [URL="http://man.he.net/man3/atoi"]atoi[/URL]() to convert the string to an integer? Or just pop the entire string into a stream, which you can use to extract directly into the integer.

What errors does g++ give out when you try to compile it? Which lines are getting the errors? Nothing looks seriously wrong with your code. It's also a good idea to put [inlinecode]int[/inlinecode] in front of main(), because although int type is default on most compilers, it's much safer to …

Web developers try to mirror the real life. They try to make it as realistic as possible, allowing you to chat real-time with other people on the Internet, buy and sell items, and tons of other stuff. If you're really paranoid about privacy, sure: you can use proxies to hide …

[quote=Ancient Dragon;304616]Back to the OP's question -- I doubt if he is using double or tripple buffering, just drawing on the screen as needed, which is why I said it would be too slow to erase the whole screen and redraw it.[/quote] Hmm, I've done a bit of game programming, …

Hmm... doesn't look like the company you speak of [URL="http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Linux+Developers+Association%22"]even exists yet[/URL]. Anyway, providing a website with more information might spark more interest; simply providing the information above doesn't give enough information. Some things that you haven't talked about:[LIST] [*]What requests are there? [*]Do developers get to choose what they …

Well, using those functions will allow you to check for a key's state while your application is active. I don't think the keypresses can be seen by your program when it's running in the background. I think for doing that you'll need to use API calls to Win32. I don't …

He's right. There aren't any drivers out for the GC89. You can manually do it with AT commands, although it's quite complex and I hardly understand any of it myself. Here's some links I encountered on how to do this with your card (and similar chipsets): [url]http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-networking/48900-linux-gprs-gsm-wireless-cards.html?highlight=gc83[/url] [url]http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-246623-highlight-gc83.html[/url] [url]http://www.epanorama.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14923&[/url] Good …

Did you try googling it? First hit: [URL="http://home.comcast.net/%7Eandrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html"]http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html[/URL] [quote] The nVidia driver consists of two parts: a kernel module, and a collection of user-space libraries. The libraries [are] packaged for Debian in the nvidia-glx package. [B]The kernel module is distributed in source form and packaged for Debian in the nvidia-kernel-source …

Please use code tags (info in my signature). The reason you're getting an error about capitalize() is that you haven't given the function a prototype. A prototype is simply a statement at the top of your program defining the functions so that the compiler knows they exist. For example, a …

[quote=yewakguy;303976]Okay, how about cheap then.[/quote] Dell or HP.

I would recommend using Apache. Being the hoster of 90% of the servers, it's probably pretty good. It's also really easy to setup. Install it, follow the documentation of course, and then edit the httpd.conf file to point it to the directory where you website resides. And then mess with …

If it doesn't work when using a C-style string, there's obviously something fishy going on in your code. Perhaps you're trying to read from the wrong location. As usual, check that the stream is not in an error state, and check the number of charecters read if an error occured. …

If you want to see the Leopard demo, head over here: [URL]http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/index.html[/URL] Leopard doesn't look terribly much different than Tiger - it still uses Aqua, Mac OS X's glossy interface. However, Apple touts a lot of base program that come with Leopard as the "improvement" over Tiger. Examples include Time …

[code] total = counter; //change is here[/code] This is merely an assignment. It says "set total to the value of counter". Thus at the end of the loop "total" is equal to the number the user entered, not the factorial. "*=" is really a short notation. For example: [code]total *= …

Don't know if you noticed, but those 2 lines are missing semicolons: [code] // added semicolons and brackets ;) if [COLOR=Blue]([/COLOR]word[i] == vowels[x][COLOR=Blue])[/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue];[/COLOR] q = 1[COLOR=Blue];[/COLOR][/code]

[quote=PirateTUX;303595]That's sort of how I'm looking at this project. There stands a really good chance that we won't ever complete it, however, in the process, we're going to learn about everything from OpenGL graphics to networking to parallel processing to audio to, well, you get the idea. And if this …

STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPS, OK? IT'S MAKING MY EYES BLEED. Also this is totally the wrong forum to place this; if you want to get help for your PHP code, post it [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum17.html"]here[/URL]. Thanks.

It's quite easy using [URL="http://www.homeplug.org/en/index.asp"]HomePlug[/URL]. It's terribly useful if you need to have some sort of network connection but don't have the means to wire it - and perhaps you don't like the idea of a wireless network. And it is quite easy to use - simply plug in the …

[quote=hela;303808]hey,thanks it worked,i didn't know what mode i was in , c++ is really hard,[/quote] C++ has nothing to do with it. It's just a matter of getting used to your editor. You'd have been having the same problems if you'd tried to type a letter with your IDE. :) …

What do you mean by that? Simply put <p> tags around a string? If that's what you want, you can write your own very simply: [code] string htmlcode = "<p>"+paragraph+"</p>"; [/code] Likewise, searching and replacing newlines with <br/> is also very easy. Look up some of the string functions like …

[quote=jbennet;303629]there may or may not be an option just to reinstall the system and keep your files[/quote] It's scary nonetheless, and I suggest doing what pty said and boot off a Linux LiveCD to rescue your data first. I don't think an fsck is much needed; after all, it's pretty …

I fail to see the need to post the IamBored link when it simply is a hotlink to another page. Why don't you just post the direct link? At least it [I]looks[/I] like you aren't bored.. :D

What kind of Mac do you own? What version of OS X? Has burning iTunes CDs ever worked before? Is your burner internal or external? Usually error -50 is thrown when you're downloading music from the iTunes store and the connection gets interrupted for some reason.

It's kind of hard to read your post, but I don't blame you... [inlinecode]graphics.h[/inlinecode] is a header file that is only for Turbo C, so don't bother trying to use it. ;) Are you trying to write console or Windows graphics? For console graphics, you can't use libraries such as …

A hacker! You've been owned. :cheesy: Actually, it's some sort of default user, also present in Windows XP... I think it's got something to do with mapping network drives, but I can't be completely sure. MCX1 is a some sort of network device, so I believe Windows uses it somehow …

The new Macintosh computers are Intel chip-based, so that's the one you'll want to download. Or you can save yourself $30 (unless it's too late) and use the free [URL="http://handbrake.m0k.org/"]Handbrake[/URL] tool to do the ripping for you.

It looks good to me - the comment blocks explain everything pretty well. (Especially compared to my projects; where commenting is quite infrequent.)

It worked for me. But what's the point when the test file is only 275 bytes anyway? Wouldn't testing 10 or 20 megabytes be a better idea? Or am I missing something here...

I assume you're using the regular Apple mouse. If you're using some weird mouse, you may want to make sure that it's Mac certified. Now if it's not the mouse, it's probably some hardware or driver that's causing the issue. Do you have a scanner hooked up to your Mac? …

Variable naming is very important because if you use names to short, you will end up with various ambiguities in your project like the loop in this case. Make it too long, and then you end up typing far more than you need to. As a general rule, I like …

My opinion is that C# is much better to learn if you are planning to create windows-based applications. C# makes it much easier to design user interfaces, and your development will be much faster than a similar program written in C++. I also agree with jwenting: it's very important to …

I don't get it. Xfire is freeware, so what's wrong with that? Or you could just use an instant messaging application...

Or if you're feeling handy you can [URL="http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/weblog/view/wlg/448"]make one yourself[/URL] out of a Pringles can. I haven't actually done this yet, but it's supposed to improve your reception as much as 3x (in a single direction).

C++ string: [inlinecode]string cpp_string;[/inlinecode] C string: [inlinecode]string c_string;[/inlinecode] To convert C++ string to C string: [code=c]c_string = cpp_string.c_str();[/code] To convert C string to C++ string: [code=c]cpp_string = c_string;[/code] It's as simple as that.

I can't read your code. Please use code tags. It's kind of hard to see what the loops do without proper indentation (code tags fix this problem) so I can't quite see what's exactly happening in the program. One thing: [code] [COLOR=Navy]fgets(line,LINE_BUF,fp);[/COLOR] while (!feof(fp)) { Len=strlen(line) - 1; if ( …

I don't get it. So all PCs are connected to the router, correct? Do you mean like watch what another user is doing on the computer? For that you'll need a remote connection server/client application, such as [URL="http://www.realvnc.com/"]VNC[/URL]. If that isn't what you wanted, then please clarify.

Although you could probably use system() commands, there's several disadvantages to that. Firstly, it's very slow using system() commands, as it first has to call the operating system, which calls the program, etc, etc.. Secondly, it's not portable, (which may or may not be a problem for you) but it's …

How is the compiler supposed to know that GetCursorPos() initalizes it? It would be simply too much to ask of the compiler to actually check each function to make sure that it's initalizing any uninitalized variables. So you must do it manually, regardless of whether the function handles the variables …

Now that is one solidly build laptop, not like the cheap crap you get nowadays. I wouldn't be surprised if that thing could withstand a car running over it (especially since the walls of it are made of wood). That really is a work of art...

Have you tried a command prompt login? Press CTRL-ALT-F1 when you see the graphical login page, and then you'll be prompted to enter your name and password in the shell. Your password won't be visible to keep it from getting stolen. If it logs in, try typing random stuff onto …

What exactly do you mean by that? A program that logs which applications are being run? File creation and deletion? Google is your friend.
