Hi, my mom has a Dell Dimension 4550 that has been running fairly smooth for several years. Recently she tried to install some new DDR ram in to the mobo, and VERY incorrectly seated it. She asked me to look at it (after the fact) cause her computer would power …

hello, got a quick question regarding stack overflow (I honestly don't know if this is more suited for a wxWidgets forum, once you see what I mean, but I figured I'd try here first). I was tweaking my linked list class and testing it in a testing harness program I …

hey, got a quick question regarding template classes. I've made several data structures that I've found to be very useful (using template classes) but it's getting tiresome making a new explicit specialization every time I implement it in a new way. Such as if I want to do this in …

hey, I got a question regarding functions returning a linked list. Here's the data structure of my linked list (just in case it deviates from the standard way of doing it) [CODE] template <class T> class Link { private: unsigned int size; Link<T> *nextRow; Cell<T> *firstCell; public: Link(); ~Link(); //functions …

hello, quick question regarding template classes and pointers. I'm making a linked list kind of container system, and I'm running into trouble with it when I (don't know if the terminology is 100% correct here) declare an instance of it. An example would be best to explain what's happening: I …

hey, I've been thinking of building a new computer for myself for a while and I figure I might as well get started on researching what's new. I've been looking around the web and any site I find that compares amd vs intel is always (understandably) just testing their new …

hello, I wrote an expect script to automate ssh commands, and it was working, but for some reason it's not anymore. Just to make sure I didn't do any weird changes that I didn't notice, I tried several of the dozens of such scripts that are online, and for some …

hello, been googling this for a while and can't come up with anything good, so hopefully this won't be so easy to answer that it makes me look lazy. I'm writing an application for linux (gcc compiler) that calls various system and custom commands from inside my own program, nothing …

Hey, I've been trying to work with wxwidgets so I can start learning GUI's, problem is, it seems like all their libraries are full of errors. I have a hard time believing that a self-respecting group of people would release, as stable, something that would take hours, if not days, …

hello, I'm working on a personal project and I was looking for some help. I am writing a program that needs to store user profiles in an external file (.user_data.dat). Problem is that anyone with half a brain can find the file and with any text editor look at the …

hi, this should be a fairly simple question to answer. I have a function in my program that takes the content of a text file and populates an array with all the information. First it has to see how many lines the file has (as it can change) so it …

hello, I'm relatively new to C++ (but not to programming) so I wasn't sure how to do this in C++. My brother wrote a bash script which is used primarily to transfer files between computers using rsync which he asked me to convert to C++ so that it can be …

hi, I had 512mb ram (super old, I think it was PC400) in my computer, Best Buy had a sale on Kingston 512 3200, so I bought some. My motherboard (also 5 years old) can support 1G ram but only up to PC2100. I've read everywhere that memory is backwards …
