Remove Filter  | Background: I'm looking to program and sell (on the Mom & Pop circuit) some internet-enabled devices. They need to be pre-configured in-store by a non-techie. The device will come online with a DHCP address. I need to find it, send it customer-specific configuration changes, then wrap it up for the …  |

| | Trying to pipe data into FINDSTR, but I'm getting whole lines and not the matching substrings. Have I asked this one before? Let's say the data takes the form of BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH "GOOD UNIQUE DATA" BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH "SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT GOOD UNIQUE DATA" …  |
| | A client needs a Windows Server set up. The Server will run Exchange. The client will have a max of 10 employees. At most one user will ever need to remote-desktop in. How many User CALs will need to be purchased and what kind? Should there be 10 User CALs … |
| | Test Driven Development is something I explored at my last firmware job. I'm interested in trying it while developing a game-engine. Has anyone else here tried this and what has your experience been. |
| | Trigger Warning: Old specs are old. This has been a persisent problem for more than a year. Bold items are original parts when issue first noticed. Unbold have been added afterward with no change. CPU: **AMD FX-6300 Six-Core AM3+** FAN: After-market MB: **MSI 970A-G46** RAM: **2x Samsung PC3-8500F**, 2x Hyundai …  |
| | **tl;dr**: Rust looks fun, but it'll take me a while to learn it. Do you think it's worth my time? So... [Rust](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(programming_language)). As in Mozilla Rust. You know, the one that's not Go, but still wants to be hip and young. A little disclaimer: From years of firmware brainwashing, I …  |
| | Hi, Daniweb. I have this hobby project I'm playing with where I need to generate data for a MonteCarlo simulation. The data needs to fit within a bell-curve around a given mean with a standard-deviation. I'm trying to figure out which random distribution system I need to use and how … |
| | Hi, Daniweb, it's been a while. I'm looking to do a mobile ssh-client (well, not quite a full client) that stores sensitive login information encrypted by a pattern-lock. However, I know very little about encryption. Can anyone recommend a good learning path - and by path, I mean Encryption for …  |
| | What it says on the tin. Assume that every easily-googled effort to fix Windows 10 has failed and rollback attempts have failed. Assume I have access to a PE/LiveCD. Assume that Power -> Shift+Restart -> Troubleshoot ->??? is useless to me. (This is quite a unique situation!) Assume that I …  |
| | tl;dr: Looking for a java library to solve equations. Suggestions welcome. I'm looking to write an app for the sake of writing an app. I figured that, as a firmware guy with minimal EE hardware training, a good practice app would be one that acts as a helper for EE … |
| | I'm running a google search for "Virtual Machine PCI Pass-through" (making minimal progress) but I thought I'd ask your advice too. I have an older (~2005) PCI WiFi card from Generic Off-brand Chinese Corporation X. I'm running Windows 7x64. The company that made the card has since gone out of …  |
| | Hi, Guys. I'm calculating the correlation coefficient between two HashMaps of Stock Prices keyed on Dates. However, the Dates do not always line up perfectly. So, I need to line-up the two HashMaps by their Keys. Thus far, I'm creating two ArrayLists of the Dates, doing retainAll between them and … |
| | So... this happened at a LAN party. A friend was pestering me for Linux Mint. For some reason YUMI wouldn't recognize my flash drive, so I did it the manual way. sudo dd if=./linuxmint-17.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M However, it should have been: sudo dd if=./linuxmint-17.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdd bs=1M It's an ADD/mental auto-pilot …  |
| | tl;dr: I want to write a program to generate 2D graphics for a Metroidvania. I need to make art for my 2D platformer. I need it to layer well within a parallax engine. I need the tiles to blend well with their neighbors. But... I have the artistic skills of … |
| | I'm struggling with a side-scroller platformer game engine I'm working on. I want to provide Actors (primarily monsters) with state machines to follow, but I'm worried about how best to implement them. Right now, Actors extend Entities (I'm still torn on whether passive Entities like items/scenery should have states) and … |
| | I have a Vista PC connecting in through wireless. IP and DNS settings all look good. Google and Yahoo can be pinged, but not accessed via web. FTP does not work either. I have checkde to make sure that no proxies have slipped in. I noticed similar questions, but those … |
| | For reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVL_tree I remember having touched these briefly in my CS Fundamentals 3 class, now some 5 years ago. Haven't touched them since. Does anyone use these on a semi-regular basis and in what context?  |
| | I'm trying to remember the name of a site - *pretty sure it was a wiki* - where you post different ways of writing the same program in different languages. I. E. writing "Hello World" or heap sorts in C, C++, Java, Haskell, etc. My google-fu is failing me, so …  |
| | I've found that there are times when I need to pull down a repository, but when working with other people, there's always that certain file that holds particular user-specific customizations. We need to pull it down the first time, but every time afterward, I'd prefer it not get updated - … |
| | Once upon a time, I read somewhere in a book (whose name escapes me) that to PROPERLY validate an email address, the regex was somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 lines of code. (It probably has something to do with all the country domains.) That number has probably gone up …  |
| | Hey, DaniWeb! I need your opinions. I'm looking to expand my skillset, particularly in the Windows department. On a scale of "Eh, maybe later" to "Do it! Do it now!" what is your opinion on the importance of learning PowerShell as opposed to another life skill like Haskell, Mandarin Chinese, … |
| | Hey Daniweb! What's a good site, or maybe someone could write up a quick-and-dirty example of a desktop app showing how to use the Model View Controller pattern? I'm no slouch at google-fu and found this lovely example through Wikipedia: http://www.songho.ca/opengl/gl_mvc.html which I'll look at after class tonight. I'd still …  |
| | Name says it all. Is it still relevant? I guess wxPython sort of counts. What do you think Daniweb? Now, I don't want to start a flame war -said every troll ever. |
| | Ever since I took a serious look at game-making I've been intrigued by the idea of making my own scripting engine. (I think two college courses of MIPS may have helped.) I've had the wacky idea of writing a compiler that takes script code and compiles it down to byte … |
| | Microsoft Office VBA is a language many of us love to hate. I am no exception, but I know better than to kick the cash cow that feeds me. As it is, the grand and spacious realm that is DaniWeb lacks a VBA forum. There's VB.NET, VB4,5,6 and Legacy Languages. … |
| | I have a calculated field that takes the ID field of a table and pads it with leading zeroes. So far, I've gotten this to work: `String$(4-Len(Trim$(Str$([ID]))),"0") & Trim$(Str$([ID]))` Broken down, it takes the ID field, and string-ifies it. For some reason, this pads it with a space, hence the …  |
| | Greetings, DaniWeb! I have an Access DataBase with a Form I need to modify. When the user moves between records, I need to trigger an event. Is there an event that triggers, and what is it? I know it's not Form.Load. Thanks, DaniWeb! |
| | > tl;dr: MegaMan's storyline sucks. I want advice in writing it as realistically as possible. I want to dip my toes into the realm of fiction (due to much prodding by my wife). I decided I wanted to start with a fan-fiction project based on the popular game MegaMan (also … |
| | The rules of this game is simple: 1. Someone posts a word. 2. You make a (de)motivational picture out of it. 3. You post the picture and a new word for the next poster. 4. The base image can belong to anyone, but the completed captioned product must be yours. … |
| | tl;dr: I think my code sucks. Can you help me? I haven't written a test case for this class yet, but I want to make sure I'm doing it right before I go home tonight. The gist of the class is to provide a reusable ImagePrinter object that can print … |
| | I've got a program I'm writing that A. runs as a service B. grabs a screenshot of a specific window every X number of seconds C. prints it to the default printer. A and B are more or less done. C is confusing me. I'm looking for a way to … |
| | I need GMPXX on MinGW. This is driving me nuts. EDIT: I should mention I've tried using the precompiled MinGW GMP and GMPXX libraries via the **mingw-get**. And they fail. I removed them. I compiled GMP in MSYS with the following line. ./configure --enable-cxx --prefix="/mingw" && make && make install … |
| | I'm using the 620 WinLoader software that ties to an ancient Honeywell LM 620-25/35. And I've gotten it to work in a one-to-one connection with an RS422 USB adapter. (After lots of rewiring cables.) Now the tricky part. I've got a coworker who wants to remote into a single box … |
| | We have 32 data gathering sources all operating at 100Mb. They tie to a single server. Currently, we're using a 100 Mb network. We've have 2 Trendnet TEG-424WS units we can put in. They come with 24x100Mb ports and 4x1Gb uplinks. Can we tie the server to one of the … |

| | In my wayward youth, I learned a little bit of inline assembler in Turbo C. And that was fun. Then I got into DJGPP which came with GCC and Bell Syntax. And it was confusing. And I gave up. Fast forward 12 years. I'm 30, finishing a bachelor's in CS. … |
The End.
