| | Further... The `if` statement expects an expression that evaluates to `true` or `false`. The statement if (app.activeDocument.pathItems[0].filled == true) could be better written as if (app.activeDocument.pathItems[0].filled) |
 | For public void adjustSalary(double percentage) how do you specify the percentage? If you are giving percentage as a number from 0-100 then you have to use the calculation this.monthySalary = this.monthlySalary + (percentage / 100.0); If you are specifying 5% instead as 0.05 then you don't have to divide by … |
 | A Ceasar cyper encodes by shifting letters in one direction, and decodes by shifting in the opposite direction. `key` is the number of places to shift. If the user wants to decode then `key` is negated to shift in the opposite direction. |

 | It is possible. I haven't done any serious database work now for over ten years, but that was almost the exact technique I used to manage a set of tables for a large system (400mB monthly tables kept from 1998 forward). At the end of each month I had to … |
 | You can't define what is a garbage value any more than you can write down all the wrong answers to a question. You decide what constitutes a correct value and try to define a pattern that matches all correct values. Anything else is garbage. A pattern for an integer might … |

 | Have you run any diagnostics? If so, what do they report? Have you run `chkdsk` or `sfc`? Do you recall what changes you made just prior to the first freeze? If you know when it started you could look at your Settings/Applications and sort by date to see what you … |
| | >i dont want to use label I don't know why not. It's so simple. You don't even have to name the label unless you want to modify the text after you place it. Dim lbl As New Label lbl.Font = New Font("Arial", 12.0!, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte)) lbl.Location = New …  |

 | Your `barcode` array has a trailing blank included with every barcode and the one you are comparing it with (user input) does not include the blank so you will never get a match. You could fix that by doing a `Trim()` before copying the string into the array. That's the … |
| | Re: General question If you break up the root parts of the word you get "poly" meaning "many" and "morphism" meaning "form" (loosely). Take method names. Let's say you want a method to find the absolute value of a number. In ore-OOP programming you would need (this is not necessarily a complete list …  |

 | Definitely [Everyrhing](https://www.voidtools.com/). Dir will find files but it is slow and not flexible. For example, try to find files with three particular strings but in any order. You'd have to do something like (using my files) dir /s /b | grep -i adam | grep -i andrew | grep -i … |

| | My son is looking to buy a new gaming system. For reasons I have detailed elsewhere on Daniweb, there is no way in hell we will consider a Dell system. They were great once. They aren't anymore. And their service sucks big time. We would prefer a prebuilt system because … |
| | I've never had one with a dedicated video card but I don't see this as a biggie. I can't imagine that you could upgrade the video card in a laptop and, to me, that seems the only reason to have a separate card. Incidentally, that's the reason my son's next …  |

| | Re: Student laptop If the current Lenovo's are built to the same quality as the old ThinkPads then you'll have good machines. Those things were built to last. The one I bought for one son back in spring of 2004 is still chugging away. Of course, he has upgraded to newer machines since … |
| | You can convert a datetime string to a datetime value as long as you properly match the [format of the string](https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior). For example import datetime t1 = "02/11/2017 10:43 AM" t2 = "02/27/2017 01:11 PM" d1 = datetime.datetime.strptime(t1, "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M %p") d2 = datetime.datetime.strptime(t2, "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M %p") dsec = (d2 … |

 | Check the root of the external drive and see if there is a hidden file named `desktop.ini`. In my `My Documents` folder it contains [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21770 IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-112 IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll IconIndex=-235 and in `My Music` it looks like [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21790 InfoTip=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12689 IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-108 IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll IconIndex=-237 Note the diffent values for `IconIindex`.

 | Have you tried restarting your router? You might also try running perfmon to get more granularity on your stats. You can run it from the task manager (Win 10) or from the command line by perfmon /res Select the `network` tab and go from there.  |
 | If I substitute some values and evaluate the first expression I get UPDATE ptransaction SET Quantityt = 23, Partial_totalt='24' WHERE Product_Codet =CODE''AND soldtime = '2017-02-26 09:10:57' You probably intended something like UPDATE ptransaction SET Quantityt = 23, Partial_totalt=24 WHERE Product_Codet ='CODE' AND soldtime = '2017-02-26 09:10:57' Check out the placement … |
| | I agree. Save your data to an external drive, then wipe and install Windows 10 from scratch. Make the SSD your primary drive. You could allocate about 120 gig to your C partition (more or less depending on how many apps you intend to install), then make the rest D … |
| | Just throwing out another idea here... I'm trying to think of some way to discourage people from posting in old threads. Perhaps when a thread is over a certain age limit the edit box could be replaced with a large button with the text >This thread has been inactive for …  |

 | You can access a router by browsing to a particular IP address. On my router the address is `192.168.1.1`. If you browse to that address you will be asked for a username/password. If you do not know the credentials then you will have to attach to the router via cable … |

 | I don't have a suggestion for a solution but I'd like to comment on the code.
