Pretty slick looking. Still feeling my way around.

I just got my first look at the new site. Interesting, but now I have to learn how to do stuff all over again. First thing I noticed was that I couldn't read any content because the pending messages were pasted over top on the right hand side forcing me …

There is such a thing as too much whitespace.

Aaarrgh. I posted my reply to the wrong message. Serves me right for doing this at 6:00 am. OK. I recommend using the free version of Macrium Reflect. In order to do a differential image you must first do a full image otherwise you won't have an image to compare …

It's supposed to restart automatically. In fact, I did the update myself a couple of days ago and it restarted automatically several times during the update process. If this isn't what you are referring to then please provide more details.

My personal preference would be to use a global (and document it well). It's the most straightforward and simplest way. Creating a class for a simple counter or throwing pointers around helter-skelter just muddies things up. If you wanbt an analogy, purists say that you should never ever use a …

ASUS Computers I recently had dealings with Asus. The situation was regarding a malfunctioning keyboard. The computer is a several-year-old (no longer under warranty) Asus K53E laptop. It belongs to my father-in-law and because he is somewhat careless with food (he is 91 so this is understandable), something eventually got …

I'm not at all shocked. I watch the news and I use my brain. I see what's been going on down south these past decades. I'm so glad my son moved from Long Island to the UK. They aren't completely batshit crazy there yet (Brexit notwithstanding).

>Does logging in to a system that requires no password count as "hacking"? There was a case a while ago where two men discovered that they could manipulate a video poker machine by pressing buttons in a very specific sequence. They were charged with hacking when they won a pile …

Let's start at line 0. Because I don't know all languages I'm not going to make an assumption here so what programming language is this? And what line is giving the error? It would also help if you posted in the appropriate forum.

>lists all files in the given folder that start with the letters pic and end with a .jpg extension So why do you need more than `dir pic*.jpg`?

It is virtually certain that you will be welcome here.

Just for the record, I agree with everything HG said.

If you can play the audio stream in VLC there is a setting available from the menu Audio Stereo Mode Mono Stereo Left Right Reverse Audio Just select `Mono`

Can you reboot it after the shutdown while it is plugged in? Can you run it while plugged in with the battery removed? Have you checked the power settings to see if anything odd appears? I have seen cases where simply removing the battery, rebooting, then reinserting the battery clears …

Take a full disk image of the computer (I recommend Macrium Reflect) then try the WIndows 10 upgrade. Microsoft keeps extending the deadline. For example, last December I upgraded two machines to Windows 10 long after the official deadline. There is a good chance that the upgrade will go through. …

How is the error being reported?

Did you notice that the previous calls you made to `.AddWithValue` had two parameters? The error states "Argument not specified" so add a value parameter.

If it's a Dell (for example) pressing Fn-Esc toggles the function keys between standard windows (F1=Help) and Dell functions (F1=Mute).

vb.Net - Regular Expression Tester Every now and then I find another use for a regular expression. For those not familiar with regular expressions, they can be as cryptic to read as strings of Greek letters. Simply put, regular expressions are just patterns. If you've ever used the DOS command …

Personally, I have concerns about the ability of my private conversations being open to monitoring. If my words are being sent into the ether then this is possible. Having said that, I have a laptop (several, actually) in the house, all of which are equipped with webcams and microphones and …

These are things I'd like to see available now that should be possible given current technology as opposed to pie-in-the sky things like "I really want a teleporter". For example, I am getting very tired of watching TV shows where the (supposedly) background music is so loud that I can …

Aside from formatting, it might help if you describe in detail what you want your query to do and how your tables are set up.

Define "perfect". Or is this just a blatant plug post?

A recent study done by a think tank hired by Canadian airline companies has come to the conclusion that if the airlines charged less money then people would buy more tickets. I don't want to know how much money and time it took to come to that brilliant conclusion. What …

As far as I know you can't change the colour of an individual cell in a listview (details view). You can only change the colour of an entire row.

Math.Round(2.435, 2) - result is 2.44 Math.Round(2.445, 2) - result is 2.44 The second parameter is the number of decimal places. Note that if you want to consistently round up if the digit is 5 then you must do Math.Round(2.445 + 0.005, 2)

A binary tree stores data in sorted order (if you traverse the tree as left-middle-right). As such there is no reason to have the same value stored in more than one location. If you need to store the frequency then add that as a value in each node. If ylolu …

You could use FormatNumber(x, 2) where `x` is the value you wabt to format and `2` is the number of decimal places.

What error are you getting and on what line?

For those of us who learned our craft in the 60s/70s, this kind of complaint mkes me both laugh and cry. "When I was a kid we had to walk all the way across the living room to change the channel" - Louie Anderson

What you want is 0 or more digits `^[0-9]*` followed by 0 or 1 decimals `\.?` followed by 1 or more digits `[0-9]+$` which gives you ^[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+?$ Coincidentally, I had just posted a regular expression tester [vb.Net project ](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/code/516679/vb-net-regular-expression-tester) which is what I used to build the above expression.

If you go to bing and search for `goggles` the first hit on the list is `google`. That ought to tell you something.
