Infarction

I'm glad I don't have a chance of suffering from that... :P

I just built a cheap box to run Vista on a couple weeks ago. I was on a tight budget so I stuck with a AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+, 2GB of RAM, and an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard. Don't know how the mobo shapes up on reviews, but it's working just …

haha, ~s.o.s~ we're in the same boat. So much for being original...

My room. I don't really get a thrill going on vacations, I just enjoy spending time with people. Otherwise, I like to sit in my room and either read or knit or spend time on the computer.

The whole college thing is kind of messed up IMHO. Mind you, I have a very biased way of looking at things, but I'll try to explain. Also keep in mind that this is based on the US system as I have very little idea how other places work. First …

The nuclear bomb has also been considered as a political move to prevent the Russians from invading Japan, both to show the power of the US and to end the war before the Russians had a chance to get involved on that side. That way the US was able to …

I voted CCIE, but it really comes down to experience... Also, programming certs (like for Java, VB, etc...) are worthless, and A+ are a dime a dozen. CCIE, MCSE, and RHCE (and maybe, just maybe, CCSP) are probably the only ones of any great value on the list.

[quote=joshSCH;377943]lol.. Myspace sucks, I hope they all switch to facebook :)[/quote] Good god, I'd quit the site. Keep MySpace users to MySpace and facebook to facebook.

[quote=joshSCH;379524]Also, I agree with linux and sturm that most programmers do, in fact, use linux..[/quote] That would be factual data; there's no agreeing or disagreeing. I would be a little surprised if that were, in fact, true.

I don't think true and false are keywords in ANSI C either, but it does recognize the difference with a couple keywords: [code=c] bool c = false; int new, delete; [/code] [code=cplusplus] bool cpp = true; int new, delete; [/code]

$@ is all of the parameters passed to the script. For instance, if you call [inlinecode]./someScript.sh foo bar[/inlinecode] $@ will be equal to [inlinecode]foo bar[/inlinecode]. I have never seen the context Serunson described (actually, I got an error trying to use it...)

[quote=joeprogrammer;380235]>my server has SCSI disks and they are called SDx I forgot about SCSI. But IDE and SATA both use hd[I]x[/I].[/quote] My SATA showed up as sda back when I had Linux on it...

I've also heard some poor things about HP-Compaq laptops. My dad and sister each have one, and they've had a couple problems but nothing major. My Toshiba's been fine for the little over two years I've had it, but if you've had problems it's understandable that you'd want something else. …

I use VLC on both Windows and Linux. I think my roommate uses it on his Mac too.

I don't know for sure how long mine took, but probably around an hour...

The OS will often not recognize the hardware. Installers will come with a ton of drivers ready to load, and then install the ones appropriate for your system. When you then take your install and put it on new hardware, sometimes you'll need a newer driver for something. Probably better …

[quote=KevinADC;353396]Jeez christina>you, you have 2100+ posts in like 2 months? I'm speechless.[/quote] Join the club. Officer positions still available, for a limited time only. Watch, I'll get more -rep for this too :icon_rolleyes:

my guess would be that whatever service you're expecting is not running on the server...

Most of mine are in the coffee house mainly because I haven't been in the mood to go to the software development forums so much lately.

I had braces for 4 years, got a retainer, broke it and didn't get a new one for a month, then ended up getting braces for another year and a half. Still wearing a retainer for the last 4 years too. I'm missing a tooth, so I can't get rid …

I'd guess that it's due to how floating point values are stored imprecisely in memory, causing the weird results to come up on rare occasions.

I'd say to just keep writing code for now, when you get to the 4-year school they'll have plenty of resources. You might consider reading a couple books on algorithms or software development, and try applying those concepts on your own projects (algorithms would probably apply more, depending on what …

This whole incident is a crock of crap. Well, not completely, she should be in jail. For the full sentence. Without being placed in a special "high profile" area. No wonder the rich and famous don't learn their lessons...

haha, I remember when the Sacajawea coins came out (back in 2000). We'll see how these do. Ironically, my roommate was just showing them to me a few minutes ago :P

The radiation levels were a measurement of when the phone was actively being used for talking. I'm pretty sure that it's significantly less when they're just sitting in your pocket. That said, there's enough radiation going around from wireless networks, TV and radio stations, cell phone towers, and even computer …

I am so totally done with school in 2 weeks :P

I'd expect it to be illegal. I know it is for Microsoft employees to do that. I'd be surprised for it to be different elsewhere.

Seems completely unrelated to the forum. I'll help you out though: Time spent online: Way too much

[*] I answer them if I think it's pertinent to do so

[quote=twomers;374477]That is true, but let us not forget that you can also do friend operator overloading with a rhs and lhs parameters[/quote] True, but the error was because it should only be one.

I'm pretty sure as well that this was what she was talking about. I'm not particularly pleased with it so far. The navigation is huge (the drop down menus don't even all fit on my screen), and the header content is as well (I had to scroll nearly a screen …

You mean the iGoogle homepages? Did they change anything over the last couple months?

I take a long time to write code too, mainly because I test it in my head as I write it. I still come up with plenty of bugs too, which then takes time to hunt down and fix. It's not like we're all computers, afterall ;)

aw, they're just kids. they'll grow out of it :icon_rolleyes: that was sarcastic btw...

> this is the geeks lounge, its supposed to be off topic! And you wonder why people keep complaining about your posts... :icon_rolleyes:

Yes, the use of & is optional in this case. Similarly, when calling the function [inlinecode]*foo()[/inlinecode] and [inlinecode]foo()[/inlinecode] will also be the same.

Prices here in and around Seattle tend to be about $3.45/gal for regular grade (89 octane IIRC). As to the pricing, there are costs for refining, adding additives, and distributing the product, but the costs at the pump don't ever seem to waver with the price of oil very much. …

If you want to know how the components work, wikipedia is probably sufficient (or maybe too detailed). A book on computer organization (weird term, I know) might also be of interest. It partly depends on what level of "how it works" you're looking for. I could also try to volunteer …

You could probably set up a local Jabber server and use that

I don't see the word screen anywhere in his post...

I would respond, but I don't know anything about going into IT per se. Most of the others are probably the same. You might try one of the more IT-specific forums.

[quote=jwenting;364472]last meal for condemned criminals, waste of food... In fact any expense on their behalf is wasted. Arrest them at dawn, convict them at noon, deny their appeal at dusk, and hang them next dawn.[/quote] If only we could actually do that...

I'm assuming that Dani isn't trying to remove all color from the site, just to standardize the colors. That is, people will not be able to color their post text, but search results or tagged code segments would still be colored as they currently are. I never use colors in …

Yes, you need to do it. You should also read some of the [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/announcement8-2.html"]rules[/URL].

C'mon guys, love not hate. I'm actually liking Vista so far... :P

I'm not sure if who will give you the last time they were logged in. If not, you can use finger, which will also tell you if they are currently logged in.

[quote=Duki;366846]i've noticed a lot of people like to pick apart christina's post at a poor attempt to look either cool or intelligent. I mean, if a 27 year old man and a 28 year old woman feels good about picking on a 17 year old highschooler... that says a lot. …

I just installed Vista myself, so I don't know much about it yet, but did you run the network setup wizard?

[quote=Aia;358497]>while(grade[i] < 0.0 || grade[i] > 4.0) Change to while( grade[i] < 0.0 && grade[i] > 4.0)[/quote] No, don't, it would always be false. A number can't be less than 0 and greater than 4. Instead, try moving your second line [inlinecode]cin>>grad[i];[/inlinecode] into the while loop. Right now it just …

Just wondering what y'alls read in your free time. Post what you've got and a brief description of it :) I subscribe to Worse Than Failure (aka Daily WTF) which has a bunch of [hilarious] programming and development oddities, and a few Microsoft blogs.
