How do you feel about Gun Control and what is your stance on it?
How about a history lesson?





In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.





In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.





Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.





China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.





Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981,100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.





Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.





Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million 'educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.





Defenseless people rounded up and terminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.





It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australian taxpayers more than $500 million. The first year results are now in:





Australia-wide, homicides are up 32 percent.





Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent, and armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!





In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned their guns in the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!





While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.





There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.





You won't see this data on the U.S. evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adver sely a ffect only the law-abiding citizens.





Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!





The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.





With guns, we are 'citizens' - Without them, we are 'subjects'. During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

Reply:I agree that a citizen has the right to own firearms, but it should be regulated so criminals are unable to purchase them. I also believe that there should be a restriction on the type of armaments that are available to the public, such as armor piercing bullets.
Reply:gun control is the first step towards abolishing the constitution....an armed citizenry is the governments biggest obstacle it total dominance of its citizens....I propose we set aside one Saturday a year and call it 2nd amendment appreciation day...on that day, all gun owners devote the whole day to target practice, gun safety and so on....the spectacle of millions of people out practicing with their guns would have to bring a chill to the anti gunners in congress....one more note....they might legislate gun confiscation someday...but that will be the day they will turn me into an outlaw.....I will NEVER give them up!!
Reply:I think that every man, woman, child, in all the world should possess for use a liberal variety of weapons and ammunition. If it was up to me, I would issue guns to new born infants and death row inmates, guns and ammunition. If I could I would give every man, woman, child from Adam to the last of mankind a personal big boom button connected to a 1000 megaton nuclear bomb and say, happy new year and good by. I am liberal indeed.

Reply:#10 is the only gun control AMerica needs. As some have so astutely observed we have more laws than is needed, what we need is enforcement.

Seriously we need to teach these truths to our children, so that the fed of the future cannot rape them either!!





As a Gun owner, let me say thank you for your question!


you are not alone we are still here fighting to keep the Bill of Rights strong!!





Big Dave: We already have laws to prevent criminals from obtaining guns, they are poorly enforced, so new laws will not help!!!
Reply:Unfortunately, it does not matter how many laws you pass to control gun ownership - criminal will still get them.








Should we control automobile ownership too - more people are killed by autos than guns!





As has been said many many times before - Guns don't kill people, people kill people.





Education on guns is more important than control.
Reply:I am considered a liberal and am against gun control. I believe we have and need the right to bear arms, I also believe if more states allowed concealed carry it would reduce crime since the criminals would not know who is packing.
Reply:Gun control has killed millions.


Civilian gun ownership is the "canary in the coal mine" of a government run by it's people.


A government that doesn't trust it's people with guns is a government that's not to be trusted by it's people.
Reply:I own two guns,....an S%26amp;W 9MM and a .357 Magnum snub nose. I am so against the government telling me how I can protect myself and my family. Where I live, home invasions are very popular, especially in the daytime. When perfect strangers start pounding on your door, you look out the window, and it's a couple of punks, saying they have a package for you. Through the window I told them to go away, I wasn't interested. After a number of times this happening, I knew I had to do something. Here in my state you can get 5 to 15 for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. I decided it was in my best interest to take the appropriate classes, and get the license/permit, to protect my a**, and my family, on so many levels. What's interesting, is that once you get a permit, one realizes the serious responsbilities that go along with that. Folks with permits know exactly what I am talking about. I am s-o-o-o against gun control. I'll do what I need to do, to protect my loved ones.
Reply:I just read the first few on your list and you seem to have a good idea of gun control. I have one better, without gun control I wouldn't be able to hit a target at 300 yards so I have excellent gun control, thank you.
Reply:I think every American should own a bazooka and a rocket launcher.
Reply:Gun control is knee-jerk reaction by politicians to unfortunate and tragic events (Columbine, Va Tech). No intelligent person can honestly believe that stricter control on firearms is going to do ANYTHING to curb gun related crime. Trust me intellectually dishonest people, if a someone wants a gun to commit a crime with, there is no law on earth that could stop them.





It drives me crazy that these people shout from the rooftops...."these crimes would not have been possible if we had better gun control laws" They honestly don't believe that themselves, they think the rest of us are idiots and would be frightened by their scare tactics. Its also obvious that some people really are so uneducated that they actually buy that load of crap.





Enforce the laws currently on the books..literally hundreds, and let law abiding citizens exercise their second amendment right......."the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."





Last time I checked....marijuana, heroin, and cocaine are illegal, and we see how well those controls are working don't we.

Internet question?

I was asked to answer the following annoyed question:


--------------------------------------...


Match the following to one or more layers of the OSI model:


a. Route determination


b. Flow control


c. Interface to transmission media


d. Provides access for the end user





e Communicates directly with user’s application program


f error correction and retransmission.


g Mechanical. electrical. and functional interface


h Responsibility for carrying frames between adjacent nodes


--------------------------------------...


can anybody help?





thanks a lot

Internet question?
Well, D matches E, B matches F, A matches H, C matches G





A: Route determination is responsible for carrying frames between adjacent nodes. Frames is packets of data and the route determines which node the data is sent and retrieved to/from.





B: Flow control includes error correction and retransmission as needed.





C: Interface to transmission media is mechanical, electrical and functional interfaces.





D and E are a bit confusing, because they fit together with all of the others at one point or another. I put them together at the top, only because they both do the same thing, theoretically speaking.





All of the others provides access for the end user *and* communicates directly with user's applications and programs.





If even one of the others fails, then access to the end user and communication for programs and applications fails. This must be a trick question. lol





Good luck and much success with your course or whatever it is you are working on, please have a nice day.


How to re-set P.C back in time to recover lost files?

Hi...I was using an interfaced program. I made some changes re-setting it back to default options as the manual changes I made seemed to have made it run too slow. On re-start for the changes to take effect, I have lost a huge amount of data. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN RE-SET MY P.C TO SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE SO I CAN GET MY DATA BACK?

How to re-set P.C back in time to recover lost files?
Using system restore will not bring your files back. It only resets the operating system files and settings back to where they were at a given "restore point".





If all you did is change a program back to its default settings (I have no idea what an interfaced program is) it shouldn't have deleted any of your data.





What may have happened is the folder you saved your data to originally is not the "default" folder for the application, so when you try to open a file it is not in the "default" folder. But it should still be in the original location you saved it to.





Do this: Open Windows Explorer and go to My Computer. Now click on the Search button at the top of the window and select "All Files and Folders".





Enter the name of a file you can no longer find in the first box on the left (a partial name will do). Also, make sure that "Search Subfolders" is checked in Advanced Options. Click on the Search button at the bottom and let the computer look for your file. If it finds it, the rest of your stuff should be there as well.





If it doesn't you data is probably gone and about the only thing you could do then is use a third-party program like Get Data Back to look on the hard drive for the erased files.
Reply:If you are using WIndows XP, you can use system restore(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084), but it will not restore data (ie, files in "My Documents)





If you deleted the files, look in the recycle bin, they could be still there (http://www.easeus.com/resource/recover-d...
Reply:i would run a recovery application asap ...
Reply:Please explain what you mean by interfaced program.


What program, exactly, do you mean? Then maybe we can help. It is really bad to lose data. I feel your pain.


In microsoft visual c++ , how can i hide private members of a class in a static link library?

i wrote a static link library in two files : code.cpp and header.h , header.h includes the interface of a class named Class1 , which have private members and public members , and code.cpp includes the implementation of that class , i dont want the programmer who uses the static link library to see the private members decleration of the class (Class1) , if i give header.h to the programmer he will know the declaration of the private members , and if i exclude the private members of his copy of header.h , it class (Class1) will not work.

In microsoft visual c++ , how can i hide private members of a class in a static link library?
One way to do it is to make Class1 call some other class for all actual implementation. So you make a new class, Class1Impl, which does all the real work. Class1 has a pointer to Class1Impl, and all of the member functions of Class1 call the appropriate member function of Class1Impl. You don't need to give out the header for Class1Impl as it can just be predeclared at the top of the Class1 declaration.


Ex:


//class1.h


class Class1Impl;





class Class1


{


private:


Class1Impl* m_pImpl;





public:


Class1();


void DoStuff();


};





//Class1.cpp


#include "Class1.h"


#include "Class1Impl.h"





Class1::Class1()


{


m_pImpl = new Class1Impl;


}





void Class1::DoStuff()


{


m_pImpl-%26gt;DoStuff();


}





//class1impl.h


//hidden, never give this source out


class Class1Impl


{


private:


long m_lHiddenVal;


public:


void DoStuff() { printf("Woo! %d", m_lHiddenVal); }


};


I want to replace my C:drive with a bigger one, without starting over...?

Although i do not want to reinstall all my apps, etc. Can i plug my new drive into my computer (via external usb hd interface), cut and paste all the data over to the new drive. Then pull out my old one and replace it with the drive i just copied all my data onto? I have a feeling this won't work.





Anyone, Anyone?

I want to replace my C:drive with a bigger one, without starting over...?
Norton Ghost can do it
Reply:What you described will not work. Once you install Windows on the new drive you will need to re-install all the applications you have on the old disk, because all applications write files into the registry and maybe into the Windows folder. These files will have to be placed there via the installer and not by just dragging files into location.





What I suggest is you add a large drive with a USB connection, move your data to the new drive if you have data on the old drive and leave the old drive for OS and applications only. I am not sure if you use Outlook for email which tends to store the email on the system drive which is your old drive in this case, so moving the mail folders to the new drive will free up a significant space.
Reply:What you need to do is load your operating system (probably Windows XP) onto the new drive. First you will need to place the new drive into your machine as the primary drive by making sure the jumper is in the correct configuration. Next, hook up the old drive as a slave (change jumper to get this). Most computers have capacity for two drives. After you install the operating system on the new drive, you can access all of the files on the old drive and copy them over or just leave the old drive in place to act as additional storage. I have one computer that I have set up this way, and it works just fine.
Reply:That generally does not work. A lot of programs install needed files in the windows directory and into your registry. You will need to re-install most if not all of your programs.
Reply:you dont have to - you can add a drive right along with it - like i got 3 harddrives in mine

Graduated as Chemical Engineer - but for the last 5years I was in IT - can I get back to engineering ?

Five years ago I graduated with top class CGPA as a Chemical Engineer. Then due to twist and turn of my fated destiny , I end up programming hardware software interfacing applications - I always had passion for programming ( Assembly language and C ) - once even attempted to hack campus UNIX server.





Due to some catastrophe - things did not turn out well for my company thus it migrated - now I am jobless , I cant get any IT jobs since I don't have any paper qualification in IT - But I have a B.Eng which I got 5 years a go.





I want to turn my profession back to Engineering career - is this possible because there is a five years gap after graduating. ( I have no working experience in chemical engineer ) - kindly can anyone knowledgeable in this mater advice me on how can I get back to my career.





My Chemical engineering degree , I got it with Honor's and distinctions as a deans list merit. I also have no working experience in that field in my life.

Graduated as Chemical Engineer - but for the last 5years I was in IT - can I get back to engineering ?
First investigate if there have been any radical new developments in chemical engineering to determine whether your knowledge is sufficiently current. If there has been, you might consider taking some courses to catch up. You may even consider getting a masters degree in the field. However, if this is not feasible or is unnecessary, there is nothing wrong with sending your resume to appropriate companies. You may have to start at a level of a new graduate. Your resume should show your work experience, although it should probably not dwell heavily on too much detail of the past five years. Having a responsible position for the past years is in your favor.

How one can Shutdown a remote system through shutdown command of msdos in windowXP?

I can use this command to shutdown my own system but can not perform remote shutdown even i log with admin.I have 10 system on LAN Network and i know IP address of each and every node , I did not Want shutdown system through software.


Here is the Help to


Syntax


Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "comment"] [-d up:xx:yy]





No args Display this message (same as -?)


-i Display GUI interface, must be the first option


-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)


-s Shutdown the computer


-r Shutdown and restart the computer


-a Abort a system shutdown


-m \\computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort


-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds


-c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)


-f Forces running applications to close without warning


-d [u] [p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown


u is the user code


p is a planned shutdown code


xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256)

How one can Shutdown a remote system through shutdown command of msdos in windowXP?
To get connected to the other machines with an authenticated connection to execute the shutdown, do the following:


1) Open an command prompt ("DOS" Window)


2) Type "net use \\%26lt;ip or hostname%26gt;\ipc$ /user:%26lt;administrator%26gt;" and enter the password for that system, when prompted.


3) Then execute "shutdown -l -s -m \\%26lt;ip or hostname%26gt; -t 1" if you're shutting it down and don't care who's on it...





All of this could be put into a script and run. You could execute the net use statements to connect to all of the computers at one time and then run the shutdown script on each afterwards. Of course, you'll have to pass your password to the script, which isn't a secure way to do it unless you do something like set it as a command line variable... Many possibilities there.





Good luck,


WG
Reply:When you state that you are an admin, do you mean that this is a domain, or that you have an admin account set up on each workstation.





Within a domain, you should be able to execute the command as long as the policy settings allow remote execution.





If a workgoup environment, as well as the machine policy allowing the remote execution, you will also need to authenticate against the machine with your local account details on that machine prior to executing the command.


Is there a way to stop the escape key from closing chat windows?

Hey all. Yahoo's window/interface behavior downright baffles me violating so many rules (the use of space is terrible) but there's one thing that bugs the crap outta me:





Why is it that when I open a menu with the alt key and the menu pops down, the escape key closes my window instead of dismissing the menu?





I come from a background of Macintosh's and Mac OS X so I often accidentally press ALT + S or ALT + C/P trying to copy something in Windows. The Escape Key dismisses menus that appear in most apps and the ALT + KEY combo invokes them.





So why does the Escape key close my active Window?





It's driving me insane. I keep booting myself from conferences with my family and friends (which is all I really use Yahoo for).

Is there a way to stop the escape key from closing chat windows?
How unfortunate. Well I know this really doesn't answer your question but if yahoo messenger is annoying the heck out of you, why not try trillian? http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/





It can do yahoo messenger stuff as well and the interface might be more to your liking.

How do I remove AVG Free Edition Anti-Virus program?

The program will not run. Each time I start my PC a window pops up with this message "Could not initialize AVG Anti-Virus Kernel Interface. Application cannot run".





When I try to uninstall the program I get this message: "Installation failure. Error: Initialization of the language file "C\Program Files\Grisoft\Avg Free" failed. General failure". As a result of the installation not being completed I cannot uninstall it but neither can I try to reinstall it, or another anti-virus program. Also, I am not regsitered with AVG to post a help topic on its site.





AVG refuses to help because it is the free edition. I've been told my only option is to install a new hard disk and transfer all my programs to it and use a real anti-virus program.





Is there a practical solution to my dilemma?

How do I remove AVG Free Edition Anti-Virus program?
Ok. Sorry to hear of your problem but i think i have a solution.


Go to http://free.grisoft.com and get the latest version of AVG downloaded.





When going through the install process set it to 'Repair' install and it if AVG works then you can either leave it or un-install it. Good Luck!
Reply:I want to thank each and everyone of you for your advice; however, I tried each suggestion and not one of them worked. My only solution now is to have a new hard disk installed and transfer only the data I need for my existing computer to the new hard disk. And, also, to stay away from AVG products. Report It

Reply:Install the copy you are trying to remove, and try this:





No antispyware utils at all? ... ok if you do have these installed they may still block a good install.





When the uninstall didn't work correctly, you were left with a registry entry that has the permissions set wrong. You need to correct this so you can continue.





Run REGEDT32 and navigate to the following key...





HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\...





Right click on the key name in the left window, select Permissions from the options. Give your username and the Administrators full permissions and apply, when it asks if you want to apply the same permissions for subkeys.. say yes.





If the Administrator or your username is missing, under the Groups or user names area....





1. Click the Add button...


2. Type Administrators...


3. Click the Check Names button...


4. Click the Ok button...


5. Highlight Administrators...


6. Place a checkmark in Full Control...


7. Click the Apply button... if it asks to apply it to subkeys... select Yes.


8. If it didn't ask to apply to subkeys, click Advanced and select it there...





Repeat for your username....





Delete key when finished.





To help avoid having this from happening in the future, always download the latest copy of the AVG file from [free.grisoft.com] and save it to your hard drive. Next run that file and select Uninstall from the options it gives you and follow the wizard.
Reply:Yes, there is. Here's the list, from easiest to more involved.





First, try using your System Restore function to restore back before the installation.





If you can't, then REdownload the AVG software - you may have gotten a bad download. Run it but instead of installing,select the "repair" function.





Do NOT use REGEDIT unless you are experienced with it. It's a UNfriendly app, and you can disable your machine if you're not careful.





If this doesn't work - then follow the rest of these instructions.





First use Windows search to find all the files that were installed with AVG. You'll need to search for both "AVG" and "Grisoft". Make sure you have the ability to go into system files and to see hidden files turned on in Windows. (Go into any Windows folder, click on "Tools" up in the header bar, then "Folder Options" then the "view" tab to do this.)





THEN, download and install this registry cleaner, REGVAC. You can get it at: http://www.superwin.com/index.htm


It is superior for stuff like this. You can download it and run it for free.





That should get rid of all the remnants of the attempted install.





(While you're at superwin you can download and install a VERY good file cleaner A1 Click Ultra PC Cleaner. It's free too.) (No, I don't work for them - they just have good products!)


Cheers!
Reply:How long ago did you install it? Try a System Restore to a date before installation.
Reply:Uninstall AVG. (try using the uninstall via add/remove programs)





Search for and delete all folders and files that AVG created.Some may be undeletable at this point, as they were lockedduring boot. Reboot, and run a registry cleaner. If you are using a manual one,read the instructions and help carefully first. The automated ones will find a load of useless stuff unrelated to AVG - it's OK to clean that out, too.





Reboot, go to command line and run regedit. In regedit, search for avg*, and delete all references that you find. Just delete the keys that start with avg, don't bother with any other keys that may be associated with those. Most of them will be in the Software section of the registry. Don't delete anything else, no matter how tempting





Reboot. You should now be able to delete all remaining files and folders created by AVG install.





Reboot, and run the registry cleaner again.





You should now have a clean machine, or as clean as the registry cleaner could make it.





Reboot, and reinstall using another download of AVG
Reply:start your pc in safe mode and then try to uninstall it from add and remove programmes
Reply:Go on the net and get a program called "kill box" I have had the same problems as you ( not with avg but). Let me know how you get on. By the way its a free program.


Hope this helps.


How do you create a Window inside a theard in C/C++?

I am having problems creating a window inside a thread. The thread is launched with a funtion from the main application. the LaunchThread() is in a DLL, the DLL also has a function for registering the window using RegisterWindow(), the WndProc and the ThreadProc are also in the DLL.





The thread is created using CreateThread and the ThreadProc calls CreateWindow to create the window, this window will be a user interface for operations that do not interfere with the main application, the window will be launching other threads and such threads will using functions defined in the DLL.





The only connection in between the main application and the DLL is the LaunchThread() function.





//-- Sample code





//-------main application


HANDLE hThread = LaunchThread();








// DLL


HANDLE DLLEXPORT LaunchThread()


{


// Create the theard


}





VOID ThreadProc(LPVOID lParam)


{


// Create the window using CreateWindow





// Message loop in here


}

How do you create a Window inside a theard in C/C++?
Can you be more specific? What exactly are the problems you're running into? If you're getting null handles, what do you get when you call GetLastError?





-- EDIT --





%26gt;The HWND returned by CreateWindow() is NULL,


%26gt; but GetLastError() returns 0.





That is very odd. I'm afraid I can't help debug without seeing more of the code. Some things you might keep in mind:





- GetLastError refers to the last win32 call, so if you're doing anything between the CreateWindow call and GetLastError you could be clobbering your result.





- If your window procedure doesn't handle certain messages, such as WM_CREATE correctly, Bad Things can happen. You should check to see if it's being entered and that messages are being properly routed by your message loop.





- Make sure the hInstance you pass in is for the correct module. You want the library you're using, not the main executable... see updated references for a blog post that may be relevant to you.





- You may want to eliminate the thread as the cause of the problem... if you create this window in the main application thread (ignoring for a moment that this probably doesn't make sense in the context of your app), does the code work then? If so, does it work in a thread in the main application executable (rather than in your library)?





Good luck.

How long does it take to write 10000 lines of code for a professional?

If I was a professional coder (i.e it was my day job) and I was coding in a language like C++ or Python and was coding things like GUI's, network interfaces, web interfaces etc (quite high level tasks). How many days/hours do you think it would take to write a ten thousand (10000) lines of prof quality code?

How long does it take to write 10000 lines of code for a professional?
It depends on the application, the programming language, and by what you define "quality code" to be.





Some applications never reach the 10,000 lines of code mark and thus the question is moot for them. Also, some programming languages are more verbose than others so you might be writing twice as many lines of code to get something done when compared to other languages. Finally, what defines quality code is difficult to peg down as if you are looking for 100% bug free you are likely to never find it.





If we are talking about sitting a programmer down at the computer and just letting them work without worrying about bugs then a good programmer will likely finish about 10,000 lines of code in a few weeks. However, if we start worrying about making sure the code is bug free then this number will quickly turn into months or even years depending upon the complexity of the code.





An interesting article to check out would be the following as it explains the differences between the various "Lines of code" metrics - http://www.developer.com/java/other/arti...
Reply:Probly depends on the complexity of the project
Reply:It would take me about a minute to write one line and copy / paste it 10,000 times.





How long a project takes, or should take, has nothing to do with how many lines of code it uses. In fact, most professionals measure programs by their elegance, which means using less code, not more.





The time a project should take ought to be a measure of how complex the problem is and how many resources are applied to solving it.

C++ or java for biomedical applications???

I have the choice of pursuing java or c++. What I wanna do is biomedical imaging and signal processing. visualization in 2D and 3D. I don't want to deal with hardware, i just want to develop applications and software that have user interfaces and that can be used for analysis. I will be working with Matlab too. Please help!

C++ or java for biomedical applications???
First, Java is nowhere near a dying language. That is just completely wrong.





Secondly, when asking yourself about development between Java VS C++ the main thing you need to consider is performance. C++ is still faster than Java, but the speed of applications is more dependent on the skill of the programmer and not so much the underlying language. It is possible to write poorly performing code, no matter what language you are using, and Java is fast enough for most things. Furthermore, you should always use the highest level language that will accomplish your goals given your performance constraints. I'm not advocating Java persay, but it and C# or more suitable for a large number of tasks. In fact, you shouldn't limit yourself to just C++/Java. Take a look at Python, which has some decent graphical libraries.





I wouldn't disregard what the second answerer said, but I would also take it with a grain of salt, as it's not likely that any 1 person's perspetive is indicative of an entire industry.
Reply:i would suggest c++


although c++ is a much larger and more difficult to learn language





java is a bit of a dying language, but is still used because a lot of people in the industry know it and are holding on to it





however, with c++ you can do just about anything with the right knowledge


if yer going to pursue 2d/3d visualization i recommend looking into the openGL API after you learn the c++ basics
Reply:I would also suggest C/C++/C#, but for a different reason. Even though Java is not necessarily a bad programming language, and is not dying, you have other issues that you must consider in medical device. For example, if you certify your application on Acme Java 1.0 and Acme Java 1.1 comes along with optimizations that makes your application run faster, you must re certify your device w/ Acme Java 1.1 even though you changed 0 lines of code because the JVM changed revs.





Having worked in the Medical Field, this drove me absolutely nuts. We had medical devices that were computers, but were running all different levels of Windows and Patches due to the vendors not certifying their applications on MS latest patches and/or OSes. Now you are going to add the additional layer of a run-time interpeter on top of that? Save yourself that headache, you will already have enough when MS patches the OS or releases a new one.





The policy of not allowing patching is one of Siemens, Phillips Medical Systems, and GE. I had systems that were from these vendors that were my responsibility. This problem is due to the fact that when one FDA certifies a system, it gives the vendor a big club to wield on the support side. E-mail me for more specifics if you would like...


What's the best way to get into the computer game industry?

WITHOUT having to go back to school...I've been a software programmer for 11 years and have experience with C++ and have used a lot of control system interfaces. Thanks

What's the best way to get into the computer game industry?
Testing is the easiest way to get in, but sounds like you don't want to go that way.





Your experience is in the wrong parts, basically. While C++ is good, you need experience in OpenGL and/or DirectX if you want to work on graphics engine. You can also do interface, software tools, AI, multiplayer code, map scripting, and more. Sounds like you're mainly on the industrial side of programming. How about working for a hardware company that makes games? Handheld games and such? Learn Java (not THAT different from C++) and you can do some BREW programming. Handheld games are hot right now.
Reply:Try to look at these two gaming websites. There are very well known, and have been around for over 6-8 years. I use to browse them often half decade ago :-)

Those are really good starts, I gave up on learning game programming, It's a tough industry to break in, frankly I was never at genius level, only a mediocre coder/designer, so I gave up ehehhehe.

Does anybody know how to install an (add - on) for world of warcraft?

I went thru the necessary steps:


1. downloaded file


2. unzipped/ extracted file


3. coppied content of file(s) into appropriate directory (c:wow\interface\add-ons)


4. made sure the directory was correct and software content of game validated appropriate directory


5. made sure there was an add-on folder (one was already pre-made)





*the files that i copied were just files i dumped them into the add-on folder in the interface folder as is. Or should i make a folder in the add-on folder and dump the files in there?





when i log on to world of warcraft i dont see an add - on button by ANY corner of the character selection screen.





somebody please help me!! i just want to a coordinate sequence attached to my interface!!

Does anybody know how to install an (add - on) for world of warcraft?
All add-ons must appear in a subfolder of the add-on folder. They can not be bare files in that folder. Copy the entire folder.





Then, next time you log on, at the character selection screen, click on the addon button in the lower left (now that you have an add-on, it should be visible). Make sure the new add-on shows, is not grayed out, and is checked. If necessary, check the "Load out of date add-ons" box.





Also, note that in the add-on management screen, you can choose add-ons per character, or all characters. Make sure you are configuring approporiately.

How do i write a program that gives me the inner product of two vectors in the C programming language?

Write a program that will input two vectors of information. Each vector will contain exactly 8 floating point values. Your program will enter these values in from the standard input. Once the values have been read in, your program should call a function that will compute the inner product of these two vectors. The function should return the value back to the main program. The main program will then print out the value. You should not print the value out inside the inner product function.





The inner product of two vectors is a single number obtained by multiplying corresponding elements and then adding up their sums. For example, if vector u = (5, 1, 6, 2) and vector v = (1, 2, 3, 4) then the inner product is 33 because





(5 * 1) = 5


(1 * 2) = 2


(6 * 3) = 18


(2 * 4) = 8





and 5 + 2 + 18 + 8 is 33.





Your C program will call a function called inner that has the following interface:





float inner ( float u[] , float v[], int size ) ;

How do i write a program that gives me the inner product of two vectors in the C programming language?
float inner(float u[], float v[], int size)


{


float r;


int i;


if (size %26lt; 0) {


fprintf(stderr, "inner: size illegal\n");


exit(1);


}


if (size == 0)


return 0.0;


for (r = 0.0, i = 0; i %26lt; size; ++i)


r += u[i] * v[i];


return r;


}





#define SIZE 8





int main(void)


{


float u[SIZE], v[SIZE];


int i;


for (i = 0; i %26lt; SIZE; ++i)


scanf("%g %g\n",u + i, v + i);


printf("inner product = %g\n", inner(u, v, SIZE);


return 0;


}
Reply:In function inner, create a third vector. The third vector will receive the calculations from the first two vectors.





Here's some psuedocode:





//create float arrays to hold the numbers for each vector





//create a float array to hold the products





a)iterate through array 1 and 2 with a for loop.





b)assign the result of multiplying array1 and array2 to array3





c)Create a local variable to hold the value of the sum of the products





d) loop through array3, summing the total as you go.





e)return the local variable

Write a C++ program that includes the CPU class interfaces, class definitions, and code that will test your cl

The CPU class is described as follows:


• One attribute:


clockSpeed – a double value representing the clock speed of the CPU object. Note: clock speed of a modern computer may be something like 2.5GHz, so a value you could use for testing purposes is 2.5.


• Two constructors:


A default constructor.


A constructor that initializes the attribute, where cs is the clockSpeed.


• Two methods:


getClockSpeed() – return the clockSpeed value associated with the CPU object.


setClockSpeed(cs) – change the clockSpeed value associated with the CPU object, where cs is the new value.

Write a C++ program that includes the CPU class interfaces, class definitions, and code that will test your cl

C++ programming story problem involving classes?

As an automotive engineer you are going to develop a software package for the trip information console of a car. That information console keeps track of outside temperature (C), average fuel consumption (L/Km) and a trip odometer (Km). In order to keep track of the average fuel consumed it stores the latest 50 values it has computed (suppose that the system reads these values every predefined time period) for the fuel consumption.





Write the class interface for the class Console that properly captures the information presented above. Declare accessor and mutator member functions but keep in mind that the only operation on the trip is to reset it and the average fuel consumption is internally computed. Also include the prototype of a function that computes the average fuel consumption.

Use an abstract data type: book to specify the objects of type book (use C++ Classes to implement this) or Struct. The book catalog should use a file for storing the information on books.


The program should have :


It should allow the user to add a new book to the catalog. Use this feature to initially create the book catalog. It should ask for the required information and then add the book to the catalog





It should allow user to find a book in the catalog, given one of the following: author first name or last name or the book code. If the book is found, all the information about the book should be displayed. If the book is not found, an appropriate message should be displayed.


The program should have a menu driven interface to allow users to select one of the options to perform the above tasks. The program should display appropriate messages to the user for each operation, successful or not.

successful, depending on what libraries your using. and what streams your using. so it depends on you if its successful or not. make sure that you run your program first to see if it succeeds and if not then look at the bottom of the c++ design screen to see and get an idea of what adjustments need to be made to your script

Visual C++ Express 08 error LNK2019?

Recently i took it upon myself to learn c++, and i have this great book called C++ How To Program 5th edition (publisher deitel)


My problem is that, when im doing one of the GradeBook projects I keep getting this error (For those of you with the book chap 3, pg. 100)


What im trying to learn is seperating Interface from Implementation.





I made my GradeBook.h, file this has the member function (and my singular data member) prototypes


I then made my GradeBook.cpp, this has my Definitions of the member functions


Lastly i have the drive file or the one that has 'main' in it.


I used the example of the disc, but every time i compile it i get an error





error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall GradeBook::setCourseName(class std::basic_string%26lt;char,struct std::char_traits%26lt;char%26gt;,class std::allocator%26lt;char%26gt; %26gt;)" (?setCourseName@GradeBook@@QAEXV?$basic_... referenced in function _main Gradebook1.obj


Is this VC++?

Visual C++ Express 08 error LNK2019?
Microsoft describe this error here-


http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library...





Compiling a C/C++ program works in steps, first you compile the source code to object (obj) files made of symbols and code, then the linker stitches these obj files together to form your program. Some obj files use code from other obj files, they do this by using symbolic links to the code held in the other obj files.





Let's break the error down-





The GradeBook::setCourseName function is required by the main function in mainGradebook1.obj, but the symbol is not found within any other object files.





This is usually caused by 2 things-





1) GradeBook.cpp was not compiled into an object file, therefore the CPP code for GradeBook::setCourseName is not available.


Is GradeBook.cpp part of your project?


Was the obj file created? (search for it)





2) GradeBook.cpp was compiled, but the definition for the setCourseName function looks different to the declaration of the function within GradeBook.h. So when main.obj tries to use setCourseName it's looking for a different symbol (the name and arguments given by GradeBook.h) than the one provided by GradeBook.cpp, so it won't link.





The signatures of the function must match exactly between definition and declaration, even a const qualifier can mess it up. They should probably be like this-





// h, inside the GradeBook class body


virtual void setCourseName(std::string whatever);





// cpp


void GradeBook::setCourseName(std::string whatever) { }

i like linux most. it has great tools to observe and examine the traffic, it's very stable and everything's open source. And it has valgrind, which beats any other debugger/memory checker.





also, if you're careful, then porting a linux network application to windows is not a lot of work. and porting linux applications to other unix OSs is usually also quite straight forward.





if you want to write fast servers, then as a language i'd pick C (i don't like C++). however, many servers are nowadays written in java, with tomcat or something similar.





if you find a good networking job - i don't know. i think diversity wins. if you're perfect at writing network software, but not familiar with anything else, that's a big disadvantage. writing good servers is not trivial - you also need a lot of knowledge about protocols, routers, operating systems, performance etc. it's a difficult job.
Reply:Doesn't matter, if you really want to be good at it, I would recommend to start with an operating system you comfortable with. I myself use windows, and linux(through a virtual machine) so I can run both O/S at the same time.





For easy start up on networking I would recommend Java. I personally use c/c++ because that's the language I started with.

To become a better networking programmer, it takes hours of practice.


Command line versus GUI : I prefer GUI, because less typing when executing/compiling/linking the program files. But, learn both so you can switch between compilers easily and O/S easily.

C++ Inheritance?

Hi guys,


Can you please elaborate the statement below.. it's about C++ Inheritance...





"Including a base-class member function with a different signature in the derived class hides the base-class version of the function. Attempts to call the base-class version through the public interface of a derived-class object result in compilation errors."





Thanks guys.

C++ Inheritance?
Okie i am into JAVA so i would call it





*Method overriding*





Method(Function) overriding, in object oriented programming, is a language feature that allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by one of its superclasses. The implementation in the subclass overrides (replaces) the implementation in the superclass.





The new method definition must have the same method signature (i.e., method name and parameters) and return type. Only parameter types and return type are chosen as criteria for matching method signature. So if a subclass has its method parameters as final it doesn’t really matter for method overriding scenarios as it still holds true. The new method definition cannot narrow the accessibility of the method, but it can widen it. The new method definition can only specify all or none, or a subset of the exception classes (including their subclasses) specified in the throws clause of the overridden method in the super class





A static method cannot be overridden to be non-static instance method as shown in the overridden method declaration of method9. A static method is class-specific and not part of any object, while overriding methods are invoked on behalf of objects of the subclass.





A subclass cannot override fields of the superclass, but it can hide them. Code in the subclass can use the keyword super to access members, including hidden fields.





The following distinction between invoking instance methods on an object and accessing fields of an object must be noted. When an instance method is invoked on an object using a reference, it is the class of the current object denoted by the reference, not the type of the reference, that determines which method implementation will be executed. When a field of an object is accessed using a reference, it is the type of the reference, not the class of the current object denoted by the reference, that determines which field will actually be accessed. This is demonstrated in the above program.











Sorry i dint sticked to C++....yet i am sure Concept is almost the same.





hope this helps


Cheers:)

The compiler gives a "'AnswersDerivative.SampleMethod()' hides inherited member 'Answers.SampleMethod()'. Use the new keyword if hiding was intended." warning with the following code.

Reply:i know this sounds daft have you tried "add or remove programs" on the control panel
Reply:use ccleaner its great for removing them stubborn programs
Reply:go into add/remove programs and delete ti from there.


start - control panel - double click the add remove program icon..


search for avg its at the top


highlite it then click the remove button.





if it wont let you then reboot in safe mode by pressing f8 at boot up and try the same in safe mode.

C++ doubt Please?

i am starting to program in c++ but i dont understand one thing. The code is for making the program work, but how do i make the user interface. I mean in a software you have a buttons, textareas,, etc and all that interacts with the code. But how do i make that?





With Visual Basic?





But i think Visual Basic is another language, you cannot work with c++, isnt it?





And the last question is it the same programming in a windows pc or in Mac.





Thank a lot

C++ doubt Please?
Ok, first off, the user interface you can either design yourself with much more advanced programming techniques or you can use a program that works within the API of your operating system such as the visual studio set, the visual studio set has objects pre-created for you so you DON'T have you code them yourself, you simply code what they do.





C++ syntax is NOT compatible with visual basic, although in the visual studio set you can use visual C++.





To answer your last question, yes and no. The same concepts and (probably) most of the same syntax will work on a pc computer as well as a mac computer, the problem that you will run into is there are certain library's of code that are only available on the PC that are simply not on the MAC (or vice versa) so you may be required to code some of your own classes for objects yourself.
Reply:If you are programming for windows only make your life easy and go to Microsoft's site and download VB 2005 express for free.





You can create a working program GUI and all within a few hours.





C++ like other languages has better uses for lower level program.





but I don't want to get into a language war.





VB 2005 Express is the way to go
Reply:It seems, you want to create GUI in your code, without using any "resources". You can do it using win32 API (though i do not recommend it) or in your C++ code using fox-toolkit.org portable library or Qt, wxWidgets, etc...
Reply:It depends which programming interface you are using. For example, if you are using Microsoft Visual C++ which is similar to Visual Basic for creating your user interfaces.





If you are programming at a command screen and compiling your programs with gcc it would be more difficult to learn how to create these fancy menus and such.





Learning all these programming techniques is fairly complicated and too long for a post here. I would recommend getting a good book on Visual C++ (if that's what your using) since most programming books cover that topic.





Programming on a Mac and PC are different. You can use the same language like C++, C, Java, etc... But you need different compilers, and some specialized programming techniques may be different.
Reply:Standard C++ does not have GUIs like windowing and buttons and stuff; but each framework that ever existed slapping their own framework within their own products. It is not related to Visual Basic; the first programming product that integrated interface as a standard programming construct is Java, before that, all languages link up with sort of a stub containing interface element like in Visual C++.





Visual Basic is unrelated, incompatible, philosophically different, VB is a RAD tool not just a language.





Standard C++ is same across Windows, Mac, Linux; but remember interface programming is not part of standard.
Reply:Try Visual C++


How can you make a C++ program to generate and manipulate PNG images?

I have some experience programming but haven't really worked with images before. I have no idea where to start. The program has to run on Unix. This is the assignment:





Develop a program for image manipulation using object-oriented programming in C++.





The program does not need to have a graphical user interface or be able to display images: images should be created using a sequence of calls to the class member functions. The results can ultimately be displayed using widely available image viewers.





The project should implement the following classes





* GeometricObject


o Circle


o Rectangle


o Polygon


* Image





Your image class should have a member function createPngFile which will create a valid PNG format image file corresponding to the image object.





You can start your geometric objects classes using the texts' definitions, but you will need to extend them to handle position among other things.

How can you make a C++ program to generate and manipulate PNG images?
Cool assignment. You might want to look at the ImageMagick libraries, if you're allowed to use them.


C ++ reading text file?

Can someone help me please


I'm asked to develop a C++ program that reads a text file given by the user (e.g. test.txt), and output the frequency of the prepositions contained in the text file on the screen. The program shall provide a simple interface for the user to input the name of a text file and exit the program.


Thanks for your help.

C ++ reading text file?
code for reading the file - everything else should be easy


readFile()


{


char *myString = "";


char inFileName[] = "test.txt";


clrscr();





/* opens an existing text file for reading */


ifstream inFile = (inFileName);





if(inFile) // Input file exists and is open


{


inFile %26gt;%26gt; myString; // read an initial line


while(!inFile.eof()) // while not end of file


{





// do your stuff with myString here


// make a separate function and call it





inFile %26gt;%26gt; myString; // read a line


} // end while


inFile.close();


} // end if


// else show an error message


}


Keypresses in C++ (linux)?

I am writing a simple text editor in C++ mainly as practice programming. It currently has a command-line like interface, where commands are entered then return/enter is pressed. For scrolling, that is really slow, so I want to have an interface that accepts just keypresses, but without waiting for you to press return. Something like emacs but without strung-together commands.





How would this be implemented in C++? It must work with Linux, not necessarily with Windows.

Keypresses in C++ (linux)?
I'm not even going to think this answer through. I don't need to. It's your editor.





kbhit() is part of conio.h. We Linux users have curses.h or ncurses.h. It's a similar input/output library with considerable differences which dates back to the venerable days of mainframes and (occasionally) minicomputers. It's still useful though.





Here is a guide to programming in ncurses:





http://www.apmaths.uwo.ca/~xli/ncurses.h...





Granted it's C rather than C++ but it still should be useful.





EDIT: I just noticed my recent reinstall of Debian didn't include curses.h. To compile with it I had to type:





"sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev". I got the man pages and everything. If you are using Ubuntu or some other debian derivative you will definitely have to do that, but in my gentoo and Slackware boxes it's installed by default. So check with your system (type "yum search ncurses" in Fedora).





EDIT:





http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncur...





Is an FAQ about Ncurses from the developers. It does mention C++. (LATER:) and I awoke and remembered curses.h is used in the "make menuconfig" command when you recompile the kernel. That means if you're on a Debian-derived system like Ubuntu and you don't have it, it should be downloaded when you download the "build-essential" package. Since make, automake and other useful advanced tools are part of that, if you're on *buntu and you're doing a text editor and you haven't downloaded build-essential, do. My face is beet red.
Reply:Try kbhit().





if(khbit())


{


char Letter = getch();


}


That sees if there is information in the keyboard buffer and then uses getch() to retrieve the letter. You should be able to put it in a loop so it can get more key presses.

thank you cards

Please help me do this C program?

Write a program in C that reads any five digit number and displays the number in two parts


diagonally as shown in the user interface screen as in the figure below.


it's suppose to look like this:





Please key in any 5 digit number: 56789


5678 9


567 89


56 789


5 6789





The number displayed is separated into two parts beginning with the rightmost unit digit. The


process continues until the leftmost digit is reached.


thanx alot k..

Please help me do this C program?
#include %26lt;stdio.h%26gt;


#include %26lt;string.h%26gt;





main()


{


long num, rmdr, i, j;


char numstr[32], fmt[16];





/* do


{ */


printf("Please key in any 5 digit number: ");


scanf("%ld", %26amp;num);


/* sprintf(numstr, "%ld", num);


} while(strlen(numstr) != 5); */


for (i = j = 1, rmdr = 0; i %26lt; 5; i++, j *= 10)


{


rmdr += j * (num % 10);


num /= 10;


strcpy(fmt, " ");


strcat(fmt, " ");


strcat(fmt, " ");


sprintf(fmt + i - 1, "%%ld %%0%ldld\n", i);


printf(fmt, num, rmdr);


}


}





NOTE: I commented out the part that uses the strlen, which was only there to make sure the string entered was really a 5-digit number. Also, I realized I should have included %26lt;string.h%26gt;, so I've made that correction.





NOTE 2: I assume the dots are to indent that many spaces. I've made the change to the format string to accomplish that. I've also removed superfluous code.





NOTE 3: The reason I have a strcpy followed by two strcats is that Yahoo doesn't know how to display text faithfully in HTML, so my 3 spaces shrank to 1!
Reply:Thanks alot, your code is very helpful, but it's too complex for what we are studying right now. Thanks once again. Report It

Reply:You could add some bounds checking on input, but this will work just fine::











#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


using namespace std;





int main()


{


char strInput[6];


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Enter a 5 digit number: ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; strInput;


for( int j=4; j %26gt; 0; j-- ) {


for( int i=0; i %26lt; 5; i++ ) {


if( i == j ) cout %26lt;%26lt; " ";


cout %26lt;%26lt; strInput[i];


}


cout %26lt;%26lt; endl;


}


return 0;


}
Reply:This would be the pseudo code for it





1. Take the number and read it into an integer variable - InputNumber


2. Define two other integers to hold the two values.


call them - Q %26amp; R


3. Set a loop starting with 10: LoopInt = 10


4. Q = InputNumber / LoopInt


5. R = InputNumber - (Q * LoopInt)


6. Increment LoopInt by a factor of 10 (LoopInt * 10)


7. Repeat Step 4 %26amp; 5.


Transparent Window / Form using C# (application skins)?

I need someone to tell me how i can learn or do this thing. I want to creat my windows applications that has an interface that looks something like the windows media player ,winamp skins or the new MSN messenger 8. How can i do this? can anyone tell me about any books, componets or even write a simple code to do this in C# or VB.NET ? Please, I really wanna learn this. Thank you all for your help

Transparent Window / Form using C# (application skins)?
If you want a Transparent Look to your


Windows applications you can Use a Property called:


"Opacity" for a Windows Form Object.


It's value Lies Between 0% and 100% (both Inclusive)


Less the Opacity Percentage More Transparent is your form.





For Providing Skins You need to Create Custom Images and also


set TranparencyKey [again a property Of for] accordingly.

Hope this helps
Reply:v1.1 of the .NET framework does not have "skinning" at least in the form you want it. There are lots of libraries that will give you a start, but anything beyond changing basic colors is going to be a chore. But not to leave you without a starting point:

Anyone knows any free C++ compiler for Linux?

I need a free C++ compiler for Linux. I've seen Intel's (too large file) and GCC (can't figure out what do, how to download etc). I'm a newbie, so I'd like a nice graphical interface too. I'm using MandrakeLinux 10.0, with KDE. And I'd like it if it was cross-platform, since I may have to work with it in school on Windows PCs. Long list I know, but please do tell me.

Anyone knows any free C++ compiler for Linux?
you can install GCC from your distribution cds just type the following command as root





urpmi gcc


for c compiler





OR





urpmi g++


for the c++ compiler





this commands works only in mandrake/mandriva.





for the graphical interface you can use kwrite which supports syntax highlighting. just save the file with the .cpp extension then from the command line type:





g++ file.cpp -o executable_name





where file is the name you saved the file with, and executable_name is the name you want for the program. for more details see gcc, g++ manual pages.





Another IDE for Linux is Anjuta (Seach for it). Eclipse is nice too.





And for the cross platform issue you can use MinGW with is the gcc compilers transported to be used for Windows OS. you can also try Dev-C++ which provides the previous compiler with a very nice graphical interface(Sites Below).
Reply:most linux distributions come with gcc and g++, which is the Gnu C++ compiler. Check out: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html





If you want a free compiler for Windows, there are GCC ports available for teh cygwin environment (http://www.cygwin.com/).

This is peer-to-peer networking software. The person who installed it must want to exchange files with a remote computer for either legal reasons or malicious reasons. You need to know who did this and why, or just trash the software and go about your business. You can find it by doing a search of your system for the name of the program. When you find it, simply uninstall it or delete it if it's not on your uninstall list. Hope this has helped.
