Way too big. I really love the image and I think it would make a great logo for a website or something. In fact, I think it would make a really nice signature, but not for a forum (more as an e-mail signature or something). That's because in a forum, …

It seems like this problem has to do with the refresh rate. Monitors require different refresh rates depending on the resolution you wish to use. Check your monitor's manual (or search for your monitor model on the web) to find the refresh rate for 640x480 resolution. In windows, go into …

At the expense of sounding cliche, our web server is experiencing some technical difficulties. The site has been running awfully slow for the past half hour or so, but this is being worked on, and will be fixed as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience while this is …

Oh my goodness gracious! What I suggest is to possibly use a recursive function, since you can't use a loop. This calls a function multiple times until a condition is met. (You pass the parameters for the condition into the function). Tell me if this works: [code] void moveKiloMile(int i) …

- Make sure that the printer is shared over the network so that both computers have access to print to the printer. - Make sure that Windows98 drivers are installed on the Win98 machine AND Win2k drivers are installed on the Win2k machine. Can the Win98 machine print to the …

When your system hangs, does it eventually allow you to regain control, or do you have to resort to manually restarting it? Causes of this may include: - not upgrading to the latest video card drivers - incompatible programs - programs not cleanly installed / uninstalled - other random stuff …

If you want to get into ftp, SmartFTP is my ftp client of choice (www.smartftp.com) though I know many others prefer Flash FXP and the like. For ftp servers, I like GuildFTPd (www.guildftpd.com). Other useful free stuff I use ... well, there's TweakUI and other powertools for Windows XP from …

Hey there people in Internet land! The new version of phpBB (the forum software this board is based off of) was released the other day. Since I have so many hacks and mods set up here, though, it was a real pain in the neck to upgrade, but I finally …

Sure, this is definiately doable. Use a program such as Partition Magic, fdisk, etc to set some room aside for Linux, and make at least two partitions for it. (When you run the Linux install, you'll set at least one of these to Linux native file system and the other …

If your computer restarts due to some weird error, and wasn't properly shut down (or shut down cleanly), or for some reason was unable to successfully boot into Windows, the next time you start up your computer, it will automatically prompt you with a boot menu. The menu tells you …

Unfortunately, this isn't possible. Windows programs such as AIM need to be installed to the operating system, which includes writing registry keys to the system registry, etc. A viable option is to use the Java version of AOL Instant Messenger, AIM Express, which is a java applet that runs from …

What file system are you using, NTFS? The amount of space a program says it occupies is only a very rough estimate. For example, NTFS drives also keep records of short DOS filenames for each file on the hard drive, and this eats up a [b]lot[/b] of space. There is …

eh, everyone can have their own favorite language, and this debate can go on for eons :rollseyes: just my 2 cents

The following is C++ code (for the most part, I'm outta practice) I searched on the 'net and found the following: [i]leap years occur in years exactly divisible by four, except that years ending in 00 are leap years only if they are divisible by 400.[/i] [code] void Calendar() { …

Yup, there will be a bar :P

Howdy there, and thanks :) So far I have left ... A final project for my print journalism class An actual final for my print journalism class A final project for my Operating Systems class An actual final for my Operating Systems class A final for my chemistry class I'm …

[quote]Less is better than more[/quote] Because we all know the *nix text viewer "more" only scrolls downwards, while the *nix text viewer "less" lets us scroll up and down, thus making less better than more.

I'm glad you were able to get it working finally. However, I'm sorry you had to resort to uninstalling and reinstalling Internet Explorer ... it's a large component of Windows and reinstalling it can sometimes screw a lot of underlying OS stuff up IMHO.

Run rpm -Uvh mplayer.rpm And then you should be able to run it by simply typing "mplayer" No?

what, exactly, does cdrdao do?

Mr Gates, were any of these suggestions helpful? I take it you got it working? A simple user input at the end of the program should offset it automatically exiting.

Have you looked at the Smart Monitors, they're 12" to 15", are touch sensitive, and are wireless (e.g. you can carry them around with you making your PC accessible from any room of your house).

That's the same ALICE bot that we used to have here at the forums months and months ago. No one liked her though :( You can still find some of her old posts floating around actually. Yeap, she used the AIML markup language, I remember that!

I'm sorry ... I originally meant to reply days ago but something came up in the middle of my post, and I closed down the window and forgot all about it. Days later I thought I posted already. I certainly don't think that all of the legal mumbo jumbo is …

Whoa! Thanks for catching that! It was a permissions problem that's all fixed now. Sorry about that.

This is untested, but something like this might work [code] string timeZone[3], state, zone timeZone[0] = "CST" timeZone[1] = "EST" timeZone[2] = "PST" if state="AL" then zone=timeZone[0] if state="NY" then zone=timeZone[1] if state="CA" then zone=timeZone[2] [/code]

What operating system are you using? In Windows XP, go to the Control Panel, then to Sound and Audio devices. Click the "Audio" tab .. there should be a drop down box for "Sound recording" which a listing of available devices. Choose your microphone here. I think the procedure is …

I'm not a fan of serif fonts ... maybe you could change to a sans-serif font such as Arial, Verdana, Helvetica?

Well, it depends what sort of game you want to make. C++ is, indeed, often used to make games. However, it requires a lot of expertise in programming. If you are not a programmer, try your hand at DarkBASIC first. [url]www.darkbasic.com[/url]

I think what it seems to me that he wants is to associate the moving object (the ball) with a keyboard or mouse control.

what about the norton and mcaffee popup stoppers? (i.e. in the norton internet security package?)

This error has to do with the XFree86 config file. I'm not sure about Mandrake, but in Windows it's at /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 This file can be hand-edited or configured via a program such as Xconfigurator or xf86config (I think those are the names of the programs? if you have …

When you have int main() it means that the function main() is returning a value of type int (an integer). Right after your cout statement you have to add a return (0); statement.

A lot of the links just say "Under Construction". You've got a lot of really useful links but I'm not too fond of the layout. You may wish to see if you could get it a little more professional looking. Also, avoid frames - they're cheesy. JMHO, Dani

I'm going to lock this thread and move your other post to the Networking forum. Please don't double post. Thanks! - Dani

Is your modem connected via USB? Often, this is the cause of constantly losing a connection. If it is, go into the Windows Device Manager, then disable the power management settings for the USB device (which allows the computer to turn off the device when not in use to save …

I used to have a problem with my LCD where after it was on for awhile, the pixels would start flickering bright and grainy. It turned out to be related to the A/B switch that I was using to hook the monitor up to two PCs.

Smiley's not being selectable ... there was already a post about this somewhere else. I went and did a search for it and copied/pasted my reply: [quote="cscgal"]Well, I was playing around with it a bit, and I noticed that if you use it in combination with BBCode such as quote, …

I'm taking an Operating Systems class in which I have to write this monster of a C++ program and it's giving me a bit of trouble. It would be amazing if someone would be able to help me out a bit. The only problem is the directions for the programming …

Unfortunately, this isn't a current feature of TechTalk. However, it isn't hard to accomplish if this is a feature you'd like to see. The current "work-around" is to go to "Advanced Search" (located below the search textbox in the upper right of every page). Use the dropdown menu for "Search …

Sorry, don't know about this one.

It works for me :)

I'm a big fan of Seti@home ( http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ ) and was wondering if I created a Seti TechTalk group, if anyone would be willing to join it. ;) For those who aren't aware, Seti uses our unused CPU time to investigate satellite reads in search for extraterrestrial intelligence. ;) It's …

Did you try continuing with the setup (e.g. hitting ENTER and letting it compile the module)? RedHat 8 isn't officially supported by VMWare (although Redhat 7.x is). However, I'm running VMWare on Redhat 8 with no problems. I had to compile the module myself, however. I couldn't use any of …

- What information about each employee is needed in order to compute the salary? - How are different types of employees paid differently? - How would you normally compute salary with time and a half (don't think in terms of programming)? - How is the "paycode" used to determine how …

Well ..... hmm .... I've been able to execute rpms and I've been able to execute bins..... which one is it? I've come across executables with the .bin extension which have been distributed without executable permissions. Make sure that you're the owner of the file and that read/write/execute permissions are …
