I use constantcontact (constantcontact.com) to send out a monthly newsletter, paid version. It is double opt-in; subscribers sign up, are sent an email to confirm their subscription, and then are subscribed. That way, people can't just add a bunch of emails addresses to a database and then start sending out …

"Patriotism isn't the same as nationalism. The former is a healthy love and respect for your country, but the latter is blind, total, and unrestricted support for any and all legislation, policies, or activities of a nation. Nationalism is the extreme, whereas patriotism is the goal, because good patriots know …

Good to see you back! Life is busy for everybody, I think. > Changed jobs, married, moved and busy getting this house in order mostly. Hopefully, the change of job is to something better, more satisfying, better paying, more convenient location, etc. (Also, if you think you are busy now, …

This is an extremely basic question, but I haven't found an answer yet. I recently purchased a brand-new computer with Windows 10 and at the moment am using the Microsoft Edge browser that came with it. I would like to open some offline (HTML) pages, but the Control-O feature to …

I am updating a C++ program, part of which copies arrays of doubles by iterating through each array (copies elements of array wa2 into array X): for (j = 0; j < N; ++j) { X[j] = wa2[j]; } // End for j I would like to use the built-in …

Another aspect: it displays differently, depending upon what browser is used. In Google Chrome, I see three columns presenting a variety of topics being discussed on Daniweb. It reminds me of the old Yahoo! page from 15 - 20 years ago, and all its copycats, that threw everything out on …

Some of my connections on LinkedIn have been sending me requests to also connect with them on ReferHire and Dock (if you're on LinkedIn, you probably know what I am talking about.) So far, I have resisted. My first impression is something like, "Great. More social media networks. Isn't there …

A couple additional comments. You should check that the calculation of *half* is really what you want. The upper limit for the iteration might be DIM/2 - 1. Also, I'd recommend using a different variable name for *max*. *max* is a predefined function in C++. It takes in two operators …

If you want a laugh, and don't mind some potty humour, some of the reviews on Amazon are pretty funny too.

It sounds like you are looking for a version (or revision) control system. They offer ways to highlight the changes made between one version of a file and another. Have you looked into Tortoise SVN or Git? Actually, there are some old threads here on Daniweb you would probably find …

toupper is a built-in function in C++, defined in <cctype>, so it should be accessible throughout the program. Unless you have named one of your user-created sub-routines "toupper"--which is a really bad idea.

I have translated many numerical math programs from FORTRAN into C++ and JavaScript. The original FORTRAN source code listings are posted on the NETLIB site and have been in the public domain for 20, 30, years.

How is a blog "type" website different from an actual blog? You can use a blog site, or blog software, to create a non-blog site if you like. Many people like the features and control offered without creating an actual blog. Like "ewai1" suggested, Blogger is a convenient hosted platform. …
